He started, seeming a whole lot surprised. “That’s where you go first?”

Blowing past what he’d obviously mistakenly assumed about me, I strode up to him and told him, “Since he was turned into a hybrid, he’s only be able to be with one person sexually.”

“You.”

“And it’s killed him that it could only be that way, killed him that it’s been such an issue. He was so free before, but what happened to him broke that in him. This now apparently being an option withyouis a huge thing for him. It won’t just be sexual relief to him. It will be a great deal more. Fuck, it will be everything to him.”

“You think I’m just using him, playing with him?”

“Yes. To get at me.”

“I’ll admit, when you sent him to dreamwalk me like that, it did occur to me.UntilI realized that it was solely your doing and you’d sent him to do your dirty work, that he was just an ordered, uninformed participant, just trying to please you.”

“You shouldn’t have been able to even sense his interference. You certainly shouldn’t have been able to see him, or even interact.”

“Well, we did a lot more than justinteract.”

I growled low in my throat.

He pushed me further when he swept his tongue over his lips. “He has a unique taste. He tastes like cotton candy. Don’t you think?”

“Yes,” I gritted out.

“So you do give, then? I figured you just took and commanded.”

“Then you assumed wrong.”

“Huh.” He cocked his head to the side. “Why do you treat the angel differently?”

“Because that’s how she needs it.”

“She needs to be degraded and treated like yourdirty little slut?”

“It’s the only reason she’s returning for more.”

He frowned. “I don’t understand. Aren’t you holding something over her?”

“So she believes.”

“But you’re not really?”

“She needed a push.”

“To fuck you?”

“To let go.”

He thought for a moment and started pacing back and forth. “Wait a minute, youwanther to unleash her power? You’re not really trying to stifle it?”

“I lost her because she stifled it herself. So, what do you think?”

“Lost her as your friend? I heard you talking about some former friendship.”

“It wasn’t just friendship tome.”

“I see.”

“What doyouwant from her?”
