Oh, there was! Would they discover it together?
When the demoness took the Volar’s horns in hand, Thronos sounded like he’d stifled a groan --You did that to ain?--
Hesitation Then: --I can’t lie I’d want that veryed member pulse in his breeches Her sex clenched in reaction
When the Volar ripped down the demoness’s peasant blouse to suckle a breast, Lanthe’s lids went heavy, her own breasts swelling in the molded cups of her top
Thronos moved his hand on hers faster --I would do that to you at every opportunity I’d kill to do it now--
She turned to hi eyes filled with pro the seductress!
If he had this power over her andthis tinant with Thronos Talos’s babe? The idea was too insane even to contemplate
When the demoness cried out, she and Thronos both turned to the couple
The Volar had positioned his fe her skirts He’d taken her tenderly for as long as he’d been able to, but now his demon nature was clearly at the fore With one ani a lusty s to draw his body back so he could plunge forward again And again
--I could take you thus--
She barely bit back a whimper --If you ever looked at h the two beloere groaning andits crescendo, Lanthe faced Thronos
She felt light-headed with arousal, desiring hiot to kiss you, Melanthe--
Irresistible Was she nodding?
At least here, they couldn’t do anything et out of hand
Our first real kiss His lips were inches froasped A pair of armored sentries had spotted them

Co toward the rock bridge and the exit he’d scented
"My sword!" She was reaching back for it
"No ti outside Was this a continuation of the same mountainside path they’d hidden upon earlier? With ons? Can’t take to the air till I’rew over the trail here, providing cover from above, from the hazy sun that had finally risen
As he sprinted headlong down the !"
He glanced back Two had become half a dozen They were burly pathos demons, a vicious breed Their ar?"
The trail led toward a wooded valley between those two jagged ranges "That’s a forest down there We could lose the toward a Pandeot, the closer they were to the river of lava Sweat poured froht on his heels
"I feel like I’!"
"We’re almost there" The path finally veered away froht to the forest
As he and Melanthe neared the edge of it, she said, "They’re too close! We can’t lose the to combat the sentries "Stay behindwarriors, positioning his wings to strike
Out of the corner of his eye, he spied twothe path But he couldn’t divert his focus to read the glyphs
Swords drawn, the sentries charged as one--
They stopped before hiht at the line of thosethe andin these woods that even a cadre of de buzzing sound above the in its intensity! Melanthe shrieked Was she running froh the tree canopy as if it’d been poured
"Wait, Lanthe!" he yelled as he sped for her deeper into the brush The sas already between theers
Their buzzing seemed to make the entire world vibrate, like his brain would be jostled to mush
BUZZZZZZZZZZ
Melanthe had clapped her hands over her ears, still careening along that path "I can’t take that sound!"
BUZZZZZZZZZZ
Using his wings to fan and bat the wasps, he fought through the cloud to reach her, biting back yells with each sting--like icepicks stabbing his skin!
And that sound was about to drive hi in on her, he nearly tripped over one of another pair of engravedthe path They read:
The pest that WAS
What did that ed for Melanthe, enclosing her in his wings as they hit the ground
BUZZZZZZZZZZ
Even with his wings shielding the
"Thronos, I-I can’t! It’s too loud My head!"
BUZZZZZZZZZZ
He wrapped his ar body "Shh, shh, I know" How the hell was he going to get her away? When he could barely think past that sound?
Yet then itdilance out
The towering blackin the air--as if there was an ian dissipating, their buzz receding
He squinted at the stones On this side, both read:
The pest that IS
He rose above her "Melanthe? Are you okay?"
