“It’s a good way to feed myself,” I blurted. “I never eat someone’s soul unless they deserve death. Not after…” Acid filled my mouth. Thankfully, Prudence hadn’t delved that deep into my memories. I wasn’t ready to talk about the moment her father came to me.

“Hey,” she murmured. I nearly swallowed my tongue as her beautiful azure gaze met mine. “I kill bad guys every day without remorse. Your kind can sense good and evil, can’t they?”

“Yes.” I exhaled. “When I first became a soul reaper, I couldn’t tell the difference.”

She smiled softly. “I know.”

God,I didn’t deserve her. I slumped forward as the tension drained from me. Prudence settled herself between my legs and put my arms around her waist. My heart relaxed as if she cradled it in the palm of hand, protecting it from harm.

Muttering something about being cold, Prudence materialized another blanket. Covering herself, she burrowed deeper within my embrace and blood rushed to my cock.

“There are a lot of places you must take me after this movie, Soul Reaper. A lot of demonic activity needs to be handled,” she mumbled, wiggling herself against me.

“Oh yeah?” Holding her tightly in my arms, I buried my face against her neck. Every time I kissed along her collarbone or blew across her pebbled skin, she shuddered.

“Yeah,” she agreed breathlessly.

My body shimmered, bones and flesh threatening to fade away as my emotions grew.Closing my eyes, I breathed in her candy scent. My soul desired to touch her too, but it would have to wait. Reeling myself in, I reveled in her being in my arms.Being mine.With her, I’d always teeter between my darkest desires to possess her and hoping she’d stay beside me. Prudence was a balancer of life and death. Her existence would stabilize all the ugly and good inside me.

As the movie went on, Prudence curled against my lap and watched. I took in the beautiful way she pressed into me while laughing and clutching my arms. Suddenly, my throat tickled, making it hard to swallow. I was mesmerized and equally terrified of losing the happiness I found with her.

I’ll live for all her small reactions to the world and me.

“You’ll what?” Prudence murmured.

I paused, not realizing I spoke out loud. “What?” I echoed.

“You didn’t say anything?”

“I don’t remember.”

My mated turned slightly. “Are you even watching the movie?”

“I’d rather watch you.”

Her chest rose and fell, then she smiled before tucking herself against me. Prudence kept burrowing herself into me like she wished for us to be one. “Oh.” Happiness spilled out through the bond, and I couldn’t resist squeezing her tightly.

“You like that, don’t you?” I teased.

“What do you mean?”

“My. Eyes. On. You.”

Her body vibrated against mine. I suspected Prudence tried to suppress her giggles. “Yes, actually I do, but you’re missing a funny movie.”

“I think I’ve made you smile more than the screen has.”

“Oh, my Hades.” She exhaled, and her mouth stretched ear to ear.

We were quiet for a few minutes as she focused on the movie. Then she started squirming. I eased her off my hard cock.Not tonight, dude.No matter how good she felt against said instrument or how amazing she smelled, I wanted the moment with hermore.

Abruptly, she blurted, “I can’t get into it now.”

I chuckled. “Why?”

“Because I’d rather talk to you.”

My heart hammered in my ribcage as my skin grew warm. My arms shook around her, so I lowered them briefly. “I’m all yours, Princess.”
