“What? You mean you don’t have devil bridesmaids fighting to death to be Demon of Honor?” He laughs.
“We do not.” Lucian’s face is as serious as ever, and I can’t help but pinch his cheek.
“He’s kidding, babe.”
“Oh. I didn’t realize.”
“That’s okay.”
I rub his face, the mere contact making me both hot and putting me at ease. No one in this world has that effect on me, only him. Only he has the ability to drive me to the edge by simply wrapping me in his arms and making me feel at home with just a smirk.
When I ordered that summoning kit, I never expected my life to change so much in such little time. And to think that was only two and a half weeks ago. It feels like a lifetime since my beautiful demon killed my step-family and freed me from their bond. And like an eternity since he saved me from Ryan and his gang of spoiled privileged assholes. A forever ago since he asked me to marry him.
Sometimes, I wake up, and I think it’s a dream. I feel as if I imagined it all, as if my need to be free planted seeds in my sleep and made me live an entire life with my eyes closed. But then I open them and find him in my bed, always, every morning, and I know it’s all real.
And even when that brings me doubt, I have the silver ring on my finger to remind me I’m his. And he is mine.
“Have you two set a date yet?” Jace asks.
I blink to return to the here and now, and I shake my head.
“Not yet. We’re still trying to find the perfect spot,” I say.
“Location is important for us demons,” Lucian explains.
“Really? Why?” Jace asks.
Lucian purses his lips from side to side, something I haven’t seen him do before, but it’s so adorable that I don’t want him to stop. He’s always so sure of himself. It’s cute to see him uncertain.
“It has to feel right for both of us. It’s like meeting your soulmate. The place is where your love is engraved through time and space. Or that’s the idea. I guess it’s like one of your human customs.”
“Awww, Lucian, that’s so sweet. Let me know if you need help looking.”
I pat my friend’s back and offer everyone another beer. I get up to get new bottles from the fridge.
“Whoa! Boner alert!” Jace screams and covers his eyes when I stand and pass by him.
I have no idea what he’s talking about. That is until I look down and find my dick tenting my pants.
“Oops. Sorry.” I laugh and readjust on my way to the fridge.
“That better not have been for me!” Jace shouts, followed by a roar that may sound like Brimfang but has come out of Lucian’s mouth.
“Don’t be stupid.”
I return to the couch, and Jace covers his eyes preemptively. I put a new bottle in Jace’s lap and settle back down, this time in Lucian’s arms.
“No, my boner is all thanks to this man.”
Jace keeps a hand on the side of his eyes and takes a sip of his beer.
“Then you better peel yourself off, Mr. Jung, because the last thing I want to see tonight is soft porn.”
“Who says we do it softly?” I ask.
Jace chokes. I pat his back, and he shakes me off him as he coughs, trying to clear his throat.
“Don’t touch me. I don’t know where those hands have been.”
