Uncle Noah, and whoever else wants it. Just please, be there
when my mom needs you.” Dorian walked out the door, shutting it
behind him, and a whimper sounded in my throat.
    “Oh, look. I
win!” Satan clapped his hands together and gave me an evil
grin.
    “No.” I
shook my head violently. “That hasn’t happened yet,
right?” The drapes closed again, and my gaze flew to the pretty
face. “ Right? ”
    Satan pondered me,
taking his time, and I was about to lunge at him when he shrugged.
“Does it matter? Accept it for what it is, Alexis. The end.
Dorian hasn’t given his soul over yet, but he will. So will
you? Where are you going to put your faith? With the winners or the
losers? Them, who have done nothing but lie and keep secrets from
you, denying you your family? Or me , who offers you everything , including your son? And your husband, too.”
    My mind had been
focused on the word yet —Dorian hadn’t given his
soul over yet —and wondering how I could stop him before
he did. But the mention of Tristan snapped me out of it.
    “I said to keep
him out of this,” I growled.
    “He apparently
doesn’t want to be left out.” Satan waved his cigar in my
direction, but his gaze focused on some point beyond me. “Look
who we have here. Welcome home, my son.”
    I sensed the new
presence immediately, and when I looked over my shoulder, my heart
rocketed into my throat. The most stunning face I’d ever
known—far more attractive than Lucifer’s, who had
supposedly been the most beautiful Angel before he’d
fallen—strode across the room, his legs clad in fighting
leathers, but his shirt gone, leaving his muscular torso bare. His
stomach muscles rippled as he moved toward me with a spark in his
hazel eyes. Seated in the center of sin, I shouldn’t have been
so surprised at how quickly lust consumed me.
    “Tristan!”
I jumped to my feet and rushed to him, not believing he was really
here, when I’d thought I’d never see him again. He
wrapped me into his powerful arms. My body ached for his touch, but
my brain quickly caught up and took over. “No. Oh, no. You
can’t be here. What are you doing here?”
    “I follow you
anywhere, even into the dark,” he murmured against my ear. “I
go where you go.”
    “No.” I
pushed him away. “You fought so hard not to be here.”
    “Maybe not hard
enough?” Satan jeered from behind me.
    I ignored him, knowing
that wasn’t true, and grabbed Tristan’s face in my hands
to look him in the eye.
    “You can’t be here. You don’t deserve to be here. You don’t belong
here.”
    He pressed his lips to
my forehead. Pleasure shot down between my legs, making me instantly
ready for him. “Alexis, my love, I belong wherever you are.”
    My heart melted, and so
did my knees while my breasts tightened with need. When his lips made
it down to my mouth, my whole body tensed and throbbed.
    “Why don’t
you two just fuck already?” Satan asked. “I’d be
happy to watch.”
    Tristan and I both let
out a low growl. I gave the lustful feelings a hard shove and
returned to my senses.
    “You do not
belong here ,” I insisted. “Not in Hell.”
    “Neither do you,
my love.”
    “Yes, I do. I’ve been sent here.”
    The sound of a clearing
throat came from behind me.
    “That’s not
… entirely true.” Satan’s words came out
sounding like a mix between a guilty admission and pride for his
deceit.
    I peered over my
shoulder at him with narrowed eyes. “What is that supposed to
mean?”
    He twirled his long
fingers in a dismissive gesture. “It’s called war,
Alexis. You told the Angels you didn’t belong in Heaven, and
they agreed. You were probably supposed to go back to Earth, but
since you seemed a little open to the idea that this was your fate,
my Demon seized the opportunity and brought you to me. Technically,
you really don’t belong here. But unlike them, I take
any and all who want to join me. All you have to do is say the word.
Give me your soul,
