Sweat mixed with blood as it dripped down the muscles on his back. He lost himself inside me, gliding his dick against the silk of my wetness and going deeper until I bit my lip, screaming out. Digging my nails into his arms, I gasped when the wall cracked with his next pound. His wild eyes latched onto mine. “I love you!” he shouted and let out a low growl as the wall crumbled under us, shaking the entire building. I didn’t care who heard or saw us. All that existed was us, tangled in a mess of desire and panting.
I screamed his name as my orgasm rolled through my body, tipping him over the edge. He erupted inside me, his hips rocking as his eyes rolled toward the back of his head. After one final rock, he rested his forehead against mine.
I looked around at the rubble and couldn’t help but laugh while trying to catch my breath. “Thalia’s going to kill us for destroying her living room,” I said. After all, it was all hers now.
His eyes never left mine. “I don’t care. Nothing matters but you.”
My heart ballooned. “I’ll never leave you.”
He thumbed my lip. “I will never leave you either.”

Iwatched as Raidensaid his good-byes to Thalia and joined me at the portal. “Are you sure you can’t come back?” I asked her again.
She shook her head. “I am happier here with the dead than I ever was alive. I spent enough time with them, this feels like home.”
I nodded slowly. “Then I guess no one will replace you as goddess of the dead.”
She pulled out the vial with the small glowing orb inside it—the vitality of the goddess of the dead—and handed it to me. “You can gift another with immortality. It’s yours to do with what you wish.”
Raiden clicked his tongue. “That’s a lot of pressure, Tal.”
“She’s strong enough.” Thalia winked at me and turned on her heel. “I’ll ensure nothing gets out. Well, mostly.”
I couldn’t help but smile. I shoved the vial into my pocket and knotted my hand with his. “Are you ready to step back into my world?”
“Yes.” He squeezed my hand, but I saw pain quiver his smile, his fixated glare on the portal lost for a second.
“Your brother would be proud of you.”
His breath hitched, but he said nothing else, and the portal opened to Edmund, Naomi, and a shivering, furious-looking Maddox.
“Three hours,” Maddox said, berating me. “It’s been five. We must have opened the portal four times. We’re almost out of blood.”
Naomi slapped his arm, then looked at Raiden. “Where’s Aziel?”
His expression dropped.
I inhaled deeply, my tone lowering as I looked at Naomi. “Not all of us made it back alive.”
She blinked back a tear, moving her eyes to meet Raiden’s. “I’m sorry.”
“Freya and my father paid for it,” he said stonily. “Don’t seal it. Thalia rules the underworld now. She won’t let anything get out.”
Maddox and Edmund looked to me for confirmation.
I nodded, letting them know it was okay. “Let’s go home.” I squeezed his fingers as I looked out over the horizon. So much death, so much pain had happened, but out of it, we were each stronger and still had each other. In the distance, my sister waited for us at the mansion, along with Dora. “All of us.”
