Fallen Into Hell: Fallen: Book 2 by Layna Snow (best romance books of all time .TXT) 📕

they had considered and discarded. They picked up the holsters and packs. They put the cushions back on the couch—because really it had been a stupid place to look for the sheath in the first place.

It was amazing what panic could do to rational people.

So he wasn’t always rational. He lost things all the time. He acted quickly, reacted instinctually, but he always thought clearly as he did it. It was how he fought with that the fluidity of motion that he did.

He was an amazing fighter. Kicked tons of ass! But this was totally different! He had been out of his mind! He had dropped his knife twice when trying to put it on before charging to Phie’s aid. And Mr. Calm hadn’t been any better.

He hated that feeling. It expanded inside, but still left him feeling empty somehow. Like the emotion itself was hollow. And it made him make mistakes. Fuck, he still wasn’t sure what happened.

After they were done, Adrian sat back on the couch while Thane leaned up against the wall. Watching, waiting. He was one patient motherfucker! And Sin never really lied to him. Never held back. But, he knew that St. Thanatos would be pissed at how he treated their sub.

He hadn’t even given her aftercare.

“She couldn’t sleep. We used the St. Andrews.” He murmured, stretching his body out. Fuck, he wanted to train, wanted to fight. He needed to do something!

And if he got his ass whipped, then maybe he’d stop feeling so bad. “I used a plug. One of the new ones. It was superhot! She loved it actually. I’m sure she won’t mind a little anal in the future. She’ll freak for the DP stuff though.”

And wasn’t he happy about that!

Not that he had any doubt. He could make anyone love anything he did to their body!

Thanatos just grunted, but when Sin looked up, he could see the heat in his friend’s eyes. Oh yeah! It wouldn’t be long now!

As long as she still wants you.

As if she wouldn’t!

“Fuck, Thane. I was pissed. On edge, at first, and then shit-eating pissed! She didn’t just want me. And, I kind of flipped out. I was rough. I mean.. I’m normally rough so that’s no biggy. She wanted me still. She got off a few times. It was great. But… I just feel sort of horrible.” Sin’s eyes had drifted as they spoke.

He didn’t talk about his feelings. He knew that Thane couldn’t understand.

Finally when he looked back, he could see the exasperated expression on the big man’s face. He obviously wasn’t too impressed by Sin’s reassurance.

“I know what you’re thinking. But I swear she’s all good. No bruises or anything. I didn’t even spank her when she forgot to do the slave position.”

For a moment, Thane looked discomforted. Fuck, he was so easy to read.

“I know you would have spanked her. I would have too. But really, she had just been taken and I thought to go easy on her. I made her go into the other room and do it while I got the food.” At Thane’s raised eyebrow, Sin shook his head. “No, I didn’t end up feeding her. She... looked to the door and then I sort of flipped out. Forgot all about the food. I would have left her there, but she seduced me.”

He had been… fuck. He had been jealous.

Sin was man enough to admit it. Even if he hated every second of the admission!

He didn’t get jealous. He didn’t care if someone wanted Thane more.

But with Sophia is was different.

He stood, hating to have this convo sitting. He needed something to do. Anything.

“I made her wait, and used her. But... fuck I didn’t give aftercare. She fell asleep so I put her where you found her and let her sleep. I don’t fucking know! I was mad… and I’m still mad. Maybe we should cut back on this. She’s getting too close. I don’t like it.”

A growl sounded behind him, and he turned to see Thane standing straight, his muscles tense. “I’m not a fucking coward!” he tossed back, seeing the sensor in the black eyes.

No, he wasn’t a coward. He just liked things how he liked them. And this wasn’t it! He had a right to be happy, too. This was too fucking complicated.

“Never mind. I shouldn’t be talking to you about this. It doesn’t matter. We’ll deal. And no, I don’t want to know how you feel. I can tell. And yes! Don’t deny it. You are actually feeling something. And remember, you don’t like emotions!”

If he could get Thanatos to remember that. If he could use it against him. Maybe then Death would be on his side. He didn’t like to be opposed on this.

“Now, let’s make something for her to eat. We should give her some aftercare. Maybe a bath. Then she’ll be hungry. We’ll talk to her when she’s all good and learn what the fuck happened while she was gone!”

No one got away from the big man downstairs unless the Devil wanted them to.

Phie woke up not long after that and Sin was glad that she didn’t seem to be holding anything against him. She seemed a little reserved, but that might be because she was tired. It was fucking difficult to keep time down here and she couldn’t know if it was night or day. And time moved differently. Besides, he had worn her out the night before.

Oh, had he ever! He was still feeling it! It was the best orgasm he’d ever had. He’d come so fucking hard!

But, he understood the need for aftercare. At least now that he’d bathed her, he did. And, it was actually kind of great.

Sure, he didn’t get sex out of it. Not yet. However, he got
