Book Excerpt
“Well, well, well. Jordan Amador. I never expected to see you
darkening my doorstep.”
I squared my shoulders and turned, intent on being firm and cold
with him, but then my eyes fell across his bare chest and words died in my
throat.
I hadn’t seen the result of the angel feather I’d once plunged into
Belial’s chest until now. It was ghastly. The skin over his heart rippled with
brown burn marks and nearly bisected his abs, starting at the shoulder and
dripping down to his bellybutton. It looked almost shiny in the dim light,
meaning that his human body had tried its best to heal the damage but probably
never would.
Belial caught my gaze, flashing me a brief smirk. “Admiring your
handiwork, I see?”
“That’s not—”
“You don’t have to make excuses. You should be proud. No one’s ever
managed to mark up one of my human bodies to quite this extent.” He walked over
to his desk where a fresh towel had been laid. He began drying off the sweat
and blood from his upper body, which was mildly distracting for reasons I
didn’t want to admit to myself and probably never would.
I crossed my arms beneath my chest, making sure to keep my voice
level so that Gabriel and Michael could hear our conversation. “Why don’t you
just get another one?”
“For the same reason you still have your scar. A memento, as it
were.”
I frowned. “It’s not the same thing. I keep this to remind myself
how dangerous and evil your kind is. You keep yours because you’re vain.”
He chuckled—a dry sound that made the skin along my spine prickle.
“Perhaps.”
Now blood-free, he tossed the towel aside and walked towards me. I
dropped my arms as adrenaline pumped through my veins in an instant, preparing
me for a fight. He couldn’t touch me because my soul was bound to Michael’s,
making me too pure for any demon to withstand bare contact, but it didn’t mean
he wasn’t going to try to make a pass at me anyway.
I made a small sound of alarm when my back hit the door, not
noticing that I’d retreated so far. Belial stopped mere inches from in front of
me, placing one hand on the door to trap me against it. I wished very badly for
my gun because I had almost forgotten his annoying habit of invading my
personal space.
“To what do I owe the tremendous honor of your presence?” Belial
asked, rooting me in the spot with his reptilian gaze. “Did you miss me? Is
your sex life with the angel less than satisfactory?”
I glared up at him. “Even if it was, I doubt I’d be coming to you.”
He let out a short bark of laughter, startling me again. “So you
say. But here it is, a year later, and you’re once again in my presence. Admit
it, Seer. You need me.”
“Go to hell,” I spat.
He flashed me that poisonous smile again. “A little late for that.
Now why don’t you tell me what brings you and your little angel brigade to my
doorstep?”
