Groaning, she dragged herself closer to Lucifer. “I’m okay.” He didn’t even look at her. Sighing, she tried a softer approach. “Lucifer, come back to me now.”
This time Lucifer turned and transformed into Lucian. He gathered her into his arms as his brothers and friends gaped at Tessa.
“Holy shit. She just commanded the king,” Seth muttered.
Tessa gazed over her shoulder and pointed to the children. “Balthazar, Xore, check and help the children.” Knowing they would do it, she turned back and snuggled into Lucian’s embrace. “Let’s go home. I’m tired and your brothers can handle this.”
Lucian didn’t say anything besides grunt. She took that as a yes and closed her eyes.

They came home and he stripped her and himself before getting in the shower. Lucian helped clean her and then fell asleep in each other’s arms.
Later Lucian woke, watching Tessa sleep for hours. He wouldn’t leave her, what she’d done had been amazing, unbelievable. She had killed the king of the angels. She’d protected their children. Capturing her mouth to his, he couldn’t wait any longer. He needed to make love to her. His hands ran up and down her naked skin, loving how soft she was. Her eyes snapped open and she deepened the kiss.
Tearing his mouth from hers, he panted, “Kitten, you were amazing.” He trailed kisses down her neck, nipping and nibbling.
“Lucian, I need you.”
“I need you, too. You were so sexy protecting our children.”
He reached her breasts and sucked one in before repeating with the other. Lucian’s hands glided over her body and rested between her thighs. He dipped a finger into her wet pussy. “Ah, kitten, you’re soaking.” He circled one of her nipples with his tongue and she moaned.
“I’ve been against you and anytime I touch you my body becomes alive with need.”
Lucian swapped back and forth between her breasts, circling them before he gently sucked in the tip of each one. He kissed his way down her body, resting between her legs. The first swipe of his tongue had her thighs shaking in anticipation. He nestled in closer and moved his lips back and forth over her clit before snaking his tongue out to lick her nub. She bucked against him and he sucked her nub, in letting his canines out to scrape along it.
Her breathing came out in gasps, which urged him on. She spread her legs further apart and he sunk his tongue into her wet core as his finger pumped in and out. He sucked her clit in and felt her quiver. He added another digit and he pumped them in and out of her faster. Tessa moved with his motion, searching for the high she knew only he could give her. His teeth scraped over her nub and he scissored his fingers. She ground against him and he sank his teeth into her as she screamed her orgasm.
“Lucian!” She screamed and gripped his hair as bliss fell over her.
Lucian licked and nibbled his way back up her body and lined the tip of his cock up to her pussy, rubbing it back and forth for a moment before pushing his way home. “I love you, Tessa.” Buried to the hilt, he rested his forehead on hers. “It feels like forever since I’ve been inside you. I forgot how much you feel like what I imagine Heaven is.”
Lucian took her lips to his own as he eased out. She wrapped her hands around his back and tore her mouth from his. “I love you, Lucian,” she moaned before plastering her lips back to his. He thrust back into her before he pulled out again. Her nails dug into him as he propelled into her over and over, giving her the powerful man she needed. She started to slide back on the bed so he braced them by letting out his wings. Lifting her legs, she tried helping to meet him each time he drove into her. Easing his mouth from her, she arched up into him and he leaned down and sucked on one pebbled nipple.
Tessa moaned and he swapped to the other nipple. Oh, Lucian, that feels amazing.”
Tessa’s pussy started to contract around him and he gritted his teeth as he pounded into her. Sinking his teeth into the tender flesh around her nipple, he took a small sip of her sweet, sugary blood.
“Lucian, Lucian!” Tessa screamed as she came. Her core gripped him tight, pulsating around his dick.
Unable to hold back any longer, he carefully detached from her breast, licking his entry points. He lengthened his fingernail and cut the skin above his heart. “Drink, my love.”
Tessa took what he offered and at the first pull he let go, roaring his release. The feeling of euphoria settled over him and he felt like the luckiest being in the universe. He had found his mate. She was beyond brave, had added to his family, and loved him. “I love you, Tessa Jackson. Would you do me the honor of becoming Tessa Samson?”
Tessa took one last sip then licked his cut and eased away so she could gaze up at him. “Yes. Yes, I love you, Lucian. My Lucifer. My mate. My king. I will be yours for forever.”
EPILOGUE
The angels who livedwere in hiding since she’d killed Gabriel, their leader and king. Tessa tried to feel guilt or shame, but she would never regret it. No one threated her children and lived.
She sat in the soft recliner, a baby on each breast, and stared down at her little ange…er, devils. They were beautiful, perfect in every way. They looked just like their father—all jet-black little tufts of hair, big baby blues and full pink lips. They were going to be stunning women.
Tessa couldn’t help grinning as she thought about the look of horror on Lucian’s face when they were delivered and he was wrong, they weren’t little boys but girls.
Xore hadn’t helped matters when he’d come in only minutes after their birth and declared them gorgeous. He’d slapped Lucian on the back. “I don’t envy you, buddy, teenage years and adulthood is gonna suck. I wonder if being Lucifer will scare all the boys away.”
Poor Lucian had turned a deathly white as he gazed down at the girls and growled, “There will be no live boys near my girls.”
