As I climbed in the shower, an icy chill went down my spine and the scent of an impending storm filled the air, cutting through the scent of my body wash. A smile spread on my lips as I let the spray of warm water chase the chill away.

“Monty?” He was in front of me so fast I gasped, reaching out for him to brace myself. “Dude, I have hallucinations. You can’t just jump in like that.”

“But it’s so fun,” he taunted.

I could immediately tell something was wrong and bit back my frustration at Hel for making our lives here miserable. She was the supposed queen of that realm yet seemed to ignore the problems creeping from it into ours.

He was her commander, not the one who should fix it all.

“What’s going on?” I asked as I lathered shampoo in my hair. He watched as I cleaned myself, not answering until I was rinsed and using conditioner.

“Being away from you is hard,” he admitted. “I’ve got so many fucking problems to deal with and Hel is angry that I’m planning to kill Vane when I find him, but being away from you is fucking infuriating. My body feels weaker, tired. Even my mind suffers. You’re all I can think about. This bond is strange.”

As if he couldn’t help himself, his shadows were slowly moving toward me. Like the need to touch me was consuming him.

Then, with a feral snarl he was moving toward me. Monty backed me into the corner of the stall. Shadows blocked the light, but I rested my hand on his chest. Knowing he was there, solid, didn’t make the sensory change so hard to adjust to.

“I’m here whenever you need me,” I promised my demon, letting him breathe in every part of me as his shadows touched every inch of my body they could reach.

The cold caress had goose bumps erupting along my skin.

“This rebellion. It should have never happened,” Monty growled. “I don’t like being defied, but Hel thought it appropriate to teach them a ward against me. So they can block me from them. Hiding like cowards in a fucking hole.”

My mind absorbed his words and the need to protect my mate had me mulling over all the possibilities.

“Do we have blueprints?” I asked as an idea hit me square in the chest. “We could mark all the places you can’t go and narrow them down. Then someone can burn them out like fucking rats.”

He let out a low rumble that rocked through me as his fingers teased up my inner thigh.

“My little human, I knew you’d be perfect for this role,” he said as he nuzzled into my neck, his nose skating over the flesh as if he were re-learning my scent. “You’re a natural.”

“I don’t even understand what my role is.” My words cut off on a gasp as he slid his slender fingers into my pussy, pumping them in and out so I had to cling to him to keep upright. My hands rested on his shoulders as he hunched over, crowding me. Each thrust of his hand lifted my feet from the tile floor and I closed my eyes and let the pleasure rock through me.

“You’re doing it beautifully. Becoming a part of this place, of me. Someday you’ll forget what it feels like to be human and embrace your connection to Helheim. But for now, I’m going to keep you close,” he said.

We both knew it was a lie. He’d be off again, like Drake, but I’d be here all the same when he returned.

Shadows wrapped around my arms and legs, lifting me in the air and spreading my legs wide so his face was at my exposed pussy. Something clamped down on my nipples, pinching and teasing them right as he thrust his long tongue into my core, tongue-fucking me with enough fervor I was tugging on my restraints and crying out.

Pleasure swirled around me as the scent of Monty and sex filled the air. It was heady and delicious, and I drank it in while he devoured me.

My first orgasm was slow and steady, my alpha building me up expertly.

While I was still shaking and riding his mouth, he sent a shock right into my clit and his slick coated finger slid into my ass. The warring sensations forced me into a second orgasm, this one shattering me completely. Only when I was done shaking did he lower me while pulling out his cock.

His shadows pushed down on me until I fell to my knees for him. It should scare me but I knew Monty would never break me beyond repair.

“Stick out your tongue, little human,” he ordered as he stroked himself. I followed his order, opening my mouth and sticking my tongue out right as he came, groaning my name like a curse as his warm release hit my tongue. “Swallow me down, Harlow.”

I swallowed once before licking my lips clean. My hands were still held tight so that was all I could do. He leaned down and brushed his cold lips over my cheek.

“Thank you, little human.”

With that, he was gone along with my shadows. It took all my strength to stay upright.

Even as I struggled to find my breath and my composure, I felt better than I had in days.

There was some truth in his words. His absence had left my brain foggy and my body tired. It wasn’t until he’d swept into my life just now and disappeared again that I realized what it was.
