and I was back standing in my subspace.

“Everything okay?” Maddie asked me.

“Yeah, just a couple of pissed off demons. But no one was hurt all that much.”

Her gaze traveled around the room, greatly calmed down by now. “So what is this exactly, Luke? If I’m not dead, then what were those things trying to eat me?”

I struggled to come up with an explanation. Surely Maddie couldn’t handle the whole story, could she? Even with her so clearly into me, there existed certain red flags that could send any woman running away screaming from a potential hookup. Being in league with the Archlord of Hell was about as big and red a flag as you could get.

“You followed us to a...a kind of school,” I said, ignoring the fact that she’d climbed into the trunk of my vehicle when I hadn’t been looking. I figured she’d been punished enough for that already. “A school for special people.”

Her nose wrinkled. “Like Hogwarts?”

I laughed. I should have expected that. “Kind of,” I explained, crawling up the bed to be closer to her. With both of us splayed out together next to the headboard, we looked almost like a husband and wife getting ready for bed. “I’m not saying magic is real, exactly, but...I mean, you know those people weren’t exactly human…”

Maddie shuddered. “They scared the shit out of me. Although that blonde one, the one who was protecting me...that was the girl from the diner, wasn’t it? Your girlfriend—or one of your girlfriends? I didn’t know she was into cosplay—that outfit of hers was so amazing…!”

“Christina—yeah.” I was more than a little surprised that she remembered. That was no outfit, I thought. “She’s, uh, not my girlfriend exactly. I’m not entirely sure what the two of us are, to tell you the truth…”

Something less than my girlfriend, I thought, remembering Lucifer’s talk. And something much, MUCH more.

“I see.” As if the mention of another woman were all it took to focus her, Maddie now seemed uninterested in the white room around her. She’d zeroed in on me. “And is your not-exactly-girlfriend cool with random women giving you their panties in public places?”

That was easy. “Oh yeah,” I said with a chuckle. “She likes to share. Hell, she was encouraging me to go into the bathroom and fuck your brains out…”

I trailed off as Maddie’s face fell. “Why didn’t you?” the waitress asked. “I waited for you—I was ready to do whatever you wanted—and when you didn’t show up, I snuck out into the parking lot.” Her brows furrowed together. “Why’d you have your trunk open, anyway?”

“Huh?” A bolt of surprise shot through me. “I didn’t.”

Maddie shrugged. “I mean, I wouldn’t have known how to unlock it. I climbed in, and then you just took off as soon as I was inside. It’s like it was waiting for me…”

I thought of how my demonic hot rod opened its trunk with no keys, recognizing my touch. “Interesting,” I muttered. “Except I don’t know what it means.”

I assumed Maddie had snuck into my van because my magic had still been affecting her, and she’d somehow gotten the idea that catching a ride would mean I’d end up fucking her. Well, she might not have been wrong about that, but I wasn’t going to spill the beans about my powers just yet. The last thing I wanted was to scare her off —especially when she’d already been through so much.

Better to ease her into it, I told myself. Whether I was talking about my powers or the fucking, I wasn’t sure.

“So that was a school,” Maddie said, not following my train of thought. She leaned over, her head resting against my shoulder as she stared up at the white ceiling. “I didn’t know you were still in school, Luke. What’s this place, then?”

“Hmm.” I looked around the small space, trying to think of words that would make Maddie understand. The school was one thing, that had a reasonable analogue in the ‘real’ world, but this box?

“It’s kind of a private room,” I explained, trying to make it sound less insane than it was. “One only I can enter—and anyone I give permission to. Which means none of those monsters can hurt you here, Maddie. They can’t even touch you…”

“Don’t worry—I get it.” Maddie’s grin widened as she reached for yet another fantasy reference to make sense of this new world I’d thrust her into. “You’re Harry Potter, you rescued me from the bad people at Hogwarts, and now to keep me safe, you’ve stashed me in your Chamber of Secrets.”

“You clearly know those books better than I do,” I told her, shaking my head laughing. “I only saw the movies.”

She gave me a sly look, her thighs parting. “You want to see my Chamber of Secrets, Luke?”

I met her eyes, a shudder of lust passing through me. The two of us had unfinished business, after all.

“You still want that?” I asked, my voice husky.

In response, Maddie rolled to the side. Her hands roamed beneath my shirt, feeling the muscles that had sprung up thanks to my demonic power. She nibbled her bottom lip, her shoulders rising and falling faster and faster as she explored my body.

“Luke,” she purred, “I gave you my fucking panties back at the diner. And since then, you’ve saved my life and shown me you can do freaking magic.” She giggled. “Uh, of course I still want to fuck you.”

Being this close to Maddie’s body, the frustration was almost physically painful. Everything in this woman, from the way she carried herself to the look in her eyes simply screamed how into me she was. Probably I had my powers to thank for that a bit—I really needed to learn how to turn those off, sooner rather than later. Otherwise, I’d end up with stowaway
