Oh.

Permission?

My mouth waters from their burning need.

“Fangs,” I pant. “Both. At the same time.”

Vhex pushes up on his elbows, lifting me until I’m sandwiched between their laps. Arms and shadows have to hold me there. My melted muscles can’t right now.

Vhex glows. A wisp of pink hellfire dances at the tip of his elongated horn. “Firefly.”

“Iris.” Remy’s wings wrap around me from behind.

The monsters are out.

“I’m here.” I guide them by the light of my soul, finally remembering to do a little healing while I have them so deep. Their soul-silks move like they’re my own—untangling, unspooling.

Vhex and Remy move in sync.

Vhex drops to the right side of my throat. Remy leans to the left, draped around my back.

Their breath is hot.

Theirsoulsare hot, clinging and desperate to move closer to the light that heals their pain.

“I’m always here,” I whisper. “Come.”

Three fangs take my throat.

Stars pop behind my eyes. I disappear, turning into nothing but sparkles and a gasping twitch that doesn’t stop.

Vhex frantically pumps his hips, filling me with venom and hellishly hot come. His lust boils my blood.

I melt inside-out.

But before the venom can really fuck me up, Remy’s sucking mouth steals away its power. He draws out the poison with a moan that electrifies my throat.

My head blurs.

The sparkles explode.

Remy spills inside me as he drinks me down.

Vhex unloads. His wings pop out, scattering the sheets with sparks.

Their relief ismyrelief.

Their thirst, their pain, their hunger—all gone. They’re so sated, their giddy sweetness feeds into my veins.

“You,” Vhex gasps against my throat.

His soul peels open, baring itself.

Offering everything.

To me.

“Iris,” Remy rasps around his buried fangs.
