“Thispartnershipwill work best if you listen to me and let me lead.”

Valory moves to stand, careful not to wake Mercy.

“This partnership will work best if you keep me in the loop. I did not know where you were going, or what you were doing, and—”

I hold up the key card in front of her and she shuts up.

“I believe the words you are looking for, angel, arethank you.”

Valory sighs, pausing dramatically if only to aggravate me so. The desire to make this woman kneel, listen to my word, is overwhelming, but I know now is not the time. I need to get Mercy to the hotel, where she will be safe. Where she can sleep off Heaven’s jet lag.

“You have not done anything deserving of my thanks yet.” She holds Mercy in her arms, taking one step forward toward me. She nods in the direction I had arrived from. “But the day isn’t over yet. Lead the way, Endor.”

I scoff at her attitude, but my cock clearly has other ideas and I have to shift as to not to draw attention.

“As you wish, Valory,” I say smoothly as my wings flex themselves once more.

“I do hope you can keep up.” I smirk as I let my wings carry me up, into the dark night. Soft flapping sounds behind me, echoing my own wings, and I can’t help but feel like the night will be never-ending.
