Page 59 of Hell Fae King
Because he cared about Ajax. He had from the beginning.
And Lucifer took care of those he cared about.
Hell, it seemed Lucifer took care ofeveryone, not just those in his inner circle. But the entire realm.
Az, I thought as I wrapped my arms tighter around Melek.
It’s okay, little warrior, my Phoenix Fae mate murmured into my mind.I’ll look after our Warden.
Of course he knew that was what I wanted to say. He could hear all my concerns and likely feel my unease. Which meant Ajax could, too.
Thank you,I whispered back to him.
Don’t thank me for something I would do naturally,Az returned.He’s my mate, too. And we have some things we need to work out between us.
My blood warmed a bit at the sensual threat in his tone.Maybe I should come back…
His responding chuckle heated my veins even more.You’re always invited to join us, little warrior.
I was thinking I’d like to watch,I admitted, fantasizing about the two of them together while theyworked outtheir issues.
Hmm,he hummed.That might be fun, too.
“I don’t know what you’re saying to Azazel, but I think I like it,” Melek said against my ear.
“You can tell I’m talking to Az?”
“I can feel it, yes,” he murmured. “And it’s obviously a conversation I would enjoy overhearing.”
Because he could sense my reaction to Az’s commentary. Right.If I’m not careful, Melek might want to watch, too.
Not sure Ajax would be keen on that,Az replied.
But you would be?
Today? No. At another point… maybe.
That… that was interesting.I see.
Surprised, little warrior?
Yes,I admitted.
I didn’t say I want to fuck Melek. But if he wants to watch me master you and Ajax, I wouldn’t be opposed.
Just not today?I replied.
Not today,he repeated.Today… is for Ajax.
Oh,I whispered back, suddenly understanding.Because you have… things to work out.
Yes.
I nodded. Not that he could see me. I was… I glanced around. Well, I was somewhere inside Melek’s wings, his gold feathers wrapped around us both as he took us to meet with Lucifer.
His den, he’d said. Whatever the hellthatmeant.
I sighed, suddenly exhausted from everything Melek had shared today coupled with what had just happened in the dungeon. I wasn’t sure I had it in me to join Lucifer in hisden, or wherever the hell we were meeting him.
