Halfway to somewhere, I find myself hovering above a broken forest where kobold zombies march.

It’s frightening, feeling myself fade.

The shadows whisper. They beg me to kill. To feed.

They promise peace.

Oblivion.

That intoxicating, blue power feathers through my veins.

This is not the end.

Iris can save me from the dark.

Irisirisirisirisirisirisirisirisirisirisiris.

Chanting her name, I follow her light.

CHAPTER30

IRIS

Vhex’s cockonlylookslike candy.

He tastes like smoke.

I explore his hidden features with my tongue. The warm, smooth knobs and hidden ridges are a dream compared to Kevan’s spikes.

My tongue always stuck to the ice.

Vhex moans like every teasing lick is the best he’s ever had.

Godsdamnit.

Why is thatso fucking good?

“Iris.” He digs claw-tipped fingers into my hair.

“Relax.” I shift his grip to a more comfortable position on my shoulders.

Vhex laughs helplessly. “Relax how? Have youseenthat fucking mouth?”

“Be good. I’m working.” I caress the insides of his taut thighs, all business.

Or I’msupposedto be working?

I’m totally not trembling.

Nope. Not me. Not at all.

Vhex’s pink cock pulses, drawn tight to his lower stomach. Face-to-face, it’s less bubblegum stick and more folding umbrella—long, thick, and telescoping.

I’m more worried about losing an eye than an ache in my jaw.

I sigh as I duck, opening to his soul.

The deeper we connect our bodies, the more intensely everything we are entwines.
