But he had good reason Unlike most va, and he was overjoyed with fate's choice for him

Weeks ago, when his heart had gone still in his chest for good, Mirceo had visited Balery, the new king's fey oracle, and asked her when he wouldher bones, she'd blinked up at hie Mirceo's life forever: You've already met him

Him There'd been no question to whom Balery had referred

Most often a male's mate would be a female But not always

His pairing with Caspion struck hi had ever made so amy and matehood had subsided

His grin deepened I'm now a believer in the system

Caspion had once asked hi to meet his beautiful mate?" Indeed, demon Indeed Mirceo was ready to commit

Now he just needed to find Caspion Blocking out the excruciating sound of a tinny violin, Mirceo scanned the crowded tavern Where are you?

He'd heard Caspion planned to head to the Plane of Lost Years--a savage, war-torn dimension where time moved differently--for some kind of self-exile

Over -dead body

Their separation had gone on long enough He wanted his best friend back--while expanding a fewparameters of their relationship

Ignoring all the looks of interest he received from myriad immortals--I' he'd soon be blooded Once he spotted his s would fill with breath, and he would get hard as rock

But as he surveyed the crowd, a rare whisper of doubt arose What if Caspion wasn't the male Balery had referred to?

No, no Mirceo wanted Caspion to be his s worked for him

Yet what if the deht have daed Mirceo's chances with Caspion beyond repair Both the de of Abaddon--only one had been able to walk out

Mirceo didn't see the de crystal he'd used had indicated Caspion was inside this structure Though Mirceo's senses weren't as keen as a demon's, he inhaled

He picked up the subtle thread of Caspion's unforgettable scent--

There! The deht

Mirceo's brows drew together Caspion seeer, and his norolden shadow beard HisHis body appeared to have grown, his shell-colored horns as well

His appearance was edgier

Darker

That tourna him

Mirceo stared down at his chest He wanted to change too, but his heart was still His lungs took no breath His cock was as hard as pudding

No It ainst his chest Come on, heartawaken!

Nothing

Despite the patrons all around, Mirceo rubbed his

Not a twitch

A buxo on his knee Mirceo scowled The fe up at the blond Adonis with an expression Mirceo had often received hiht, so let's fuck

A last lay before the demon left for the Plane of Lost Years?

Mirceo choked back a surge of jealousy He'd never known this strangling emotion before he'd met Caspion--

A oer lurched near Caspion's table, sloshing brew from a tankard the size of a vat

Drawing the brunette out of the way, Caspion shot to his feet, saving her frorated to the giant

Unbelievably, that male was at least a foot taller than Caspion "Or what?" he snapped

The horns of each deiant a stone demon?

Caspion's own horns straightened with aggression "You need to back away" Surely he wouldn't braith a stone demon That breed could tense their muscles until their bodies becaainst that male, he'd break his hand "You do not want to do this with ht"

"Do what? Kick your ass and steal your whore? Maybe that's just what I want to do"
