Page 35 of Right Hand Of The Reaper
“You’re supposed to knock,” I grumbled. But it was pointless. They never knocked. I’d created the Deathwatch Revenants back when I’d been given the Underworld several millennia ago. They were my personal protection, but I was currently using them to collect the tricky souls, something Roux would normally be responsible for. I hoped this didn’t turn into a cat fight, but, then again, anything was possible where the Revenants were concerned.
“Ooh, hello. What do we have here?” Nox asked, his black eyebrows wriggling on his pale face. “Is that my liege in a compromising position with a lady? I am shocked.”
Rook slapped him in the chest. “Pack it in, asshole. Let’s give him the report and then we can leave him to his cock warming.”
I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. Roux just sat there, her elbow resting on the desk with her chin in her hand and a cheeky smirk on her face. Why was everyone enjoying this but me?
“How’s your new pet?” I asked and Rook’s smirk immediately dropped.
“She’s not a pet,” he spat.
“Your lover boy Korbin seems to think she is,” Nox said.
Roux leaned a bit closer to me with a questioning gaze in her eyes. “New pet?”
“On the night of the last Blood Moon they received a sacrifice in the form of a pint-sized necromancer. I think you’d like her. She’s feisty.”
“Brought him to his knees, is what she did,” Rook said gleefully. Fuck, I was hoping he wouldn’t mention that. The first time I’d met her was in the cemetery and she’d pulled aMoroifrom the Depths. I’d thrown my weight around a little and tried to put her in her place. Let’s just say, it backfired.
“I definitely want to meet the woman who didthat,” she said cheerfully.
My stomach dropped a little. Those two together would actually be a nightmare. “Maybe later.”
“Aww, is Hades a widdle scaredy cat?” Roux mocked.
“No,” I replied indignantly while the two idiot Revenants sniggered behind their hands. “We just have a lot to do right now.”
Roux laughed, and it was a glorious sound that boomed through my office, even if it was at my expense. “Oh, this is too good. You reallydon’twant us to meet.” She turned to the other two. “What’s your necromancer’s name?”
Rook beamed, his smile wide and his green eyes bright. “Raevyn.”
“Well, tell Raevyn to come find me and we’ll have some fun. Lord knows she’ll probably need a break and some female company at some point.”
Rook raised a green eyebrow and looked like how I felt at the thought of those two getting together. That it would be chaos, and someone would probably lose a limb. Nox, who looked like a dark Angel with his brilliantly blue eyes and wild black hair, positively glowed with glee.
I needed to get this back on track. Roux was fidgeting and rubbing herself against my cock, which was still painfully hard. “What do you pair have to report?”
Roux sat herself up straight, knowing that this was her job they were doing. Gods, I hoped they were doing it justice.
Rook brushed his green hair out his eyes, his expression serious. “Everything is going well. We haven’t had any tricky souls escape us yet.”
“Ooh there was that one advorsus that had us running around a bit,” Nox said with his creepy smile on his face.
An advorsus was a soul that had turned evil and hostile, refusing to leave the world of the living and would quite often possess someone to try and stay under the radar. But it was impossible to stay that way. The dead aren’t supposed to mix with the living, and evil souls will fester until even the most ignorant humans will start to notice something is wrong.
“What happened?” Roux asked, leaning forward slightly.
Nox took a step forward. “Well, we were tracking this soul and—”
“That’s enough,” I interrupted. I wasn’t in the mood for a tall tale of wild adventure. Once Nox got started, it was impossible to make him stop.
The boy pouted at me, and it’d be adorable if I wasn’t concentrating so hard on not blowing my load beneath Roux’s delectable ass.
“So, you’re not having too many issues?” Roux asked, a little worry in her voice.
I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me, choosing to ignore the smug look on Rook’s face. Asshole.
“No. It’s all going fine, but we will find you if we need help with anything,” Rook said.
