Page 87 of The Angel's Kiss
I felt a familiar presence before she spoke.
“I’m glad you survived.”
I turned to see Terri Uche leaning against the railing. I smirked, as over the decades, our relationship had grown less contentious, I’d say. “Satan is dead.”
She nodded. “We know, Heaven got the message.”
“Did it get his soul?” I asked, an eyebrow cocked.
“It did, but from what my Champion has told me, he is imprisoned in Heaven’s cell to carry out his punishment,” Terri said.
“Really? I didn’t think Heaven had a prison.”
“For misbehaving angels, yes. Is it worse than where he was, or worse than a prison in Hell...” She shrugged. “I’ll never know.”
“Well, in any case, he won’t be a problem for us,” I said.
She smiled. “You two... you did what none of us could. I’m told you’ve reached the level of Divine Weapon.”
I leaned against the railing and crossed my arms over my chest. “Does that surprise you?”
“Yes, it does.”
“Why?” I asked. “Is it because you’ve been with your Champion for nearly six hundred years and have not achieved such strides?”
She snorted and looked off to the side before sighing and returning her gaze to me. “I’m not going to pretend I understand how you attained that level. Even Darius, who is also a Divine Weapon, can’t explain it where I can understand. Probably because I don’t have that connection with my Archangel.”
I smirked. “You’ve never fucked?”
“I’m sure that’s not all it takes,” she said with a roll of her eyes.
“Have you, though?”
“No. But I still think it’s more than that. And I don’t think Darius and Michael would do such things,” Terri said.
Oh, now I was intrigued. “Why not?”
“Archangels don’t even have genitalia or any sexual desires,” Terri said.
“Have you ever asked him?” I uncrossed my arms and gripped the railing as I leaned against it.
“I don’t meddle that way into the personal lives of Guardians. If, by some chance, Darius and Michael have had...relations, I doubt that was the reason he became a Divine Weapon,” Terri said.
I chuckled. “Well, Rai and I will be living together from now on... as lovers.”
She raised both eyebrows. “Lovers?”
I nodded.
“He knows you’re a demon, right?”
“He knows.”
“How? Why?”
I smirked. “I thought you didn’t meddle?”
She rolled her eyes. “Humor me.”
