He’d been behaving. Hell, he’d practically been a saint. What other alchemist could have resisted the urge to strip off her sparkly gown and breathe fire over her luminous flesh?Now Kain’s hands reached to cup her face as his head lowered. He pressed his lips against her soft mouth. Passion blasted through him. Immediate, white-hot and shockingly vast.Her lips were lush and soft and spiced with sweet temptation. The taste flooded his senses, as intoxicating as demon’s brew. There was a rustle of silk as she stepped closer, allowing the heat of her alchemist to play over his body. Kain groaned, his fingers skimming down the side of her neck.Her skin glowed brighter, her eyes shimmering with breathtaking beauty. The sight ignited hi

Something flashed in Pearl's eyes—anger, resolution, warmth, or a combination of all three. The girl has a fire in her, and Ethan has always been attracted to flames. Together they perched on the narrow bench, and, clearing her throat, Pearl offered a condensed version of her life. She told him about the curse when she’d been just a baby. She told him about the Council condemning her to death and her mother’s frantic effort to keep her hidden while protecting her from the evil magic. She told him about Kain’s magic that had given her a temporary reprieve, and her own ability to use the curse to pull herself backward through the centuries until she’d arrived in this time and place. Ethan listened in silence, his expression unreadable. Then, as she stopped speaking to give him the opportunity to absorb her wild tale, he released a harsh breath. “So you are King Edward’s daughter,” he said. He spoke the words slowly. Was he was trying to make sure that he’d heard her right? Or maybe

Kain hissed at the reminder that Ethan was about to become formally betrothed to Pearl. Then, with a valiant effort, he forced himself to ignore the deliberate provocation.Kain couldn’t afford distractions until the demon was dead.After that he would worry about how he was going to deal with his demon’s determination to claim Pearl as his own. He offered a stiff nod of his head. Ethan was right. The demon would have no choice but to follow him if Ethan told him that King Edward had need of his services. "Give us time to set up an ambush," he commanded. Ethan waved a dismissive hand. "I do not need your assistance to kill a demon." Kain’s lips parted, but before he could speak, Pearl was moving to stand directly in front of the demon. "Ethan, he is hold

“Save a place for Lycan King in the underworld,” Pearl hissed before she was swiping her claws across his throat, easily slicing off his head. She was turning away from Flynn as a dark burst of energy surrounded his body and it began to disintegrate into a pile of ash. She no longer had an interest in the demon who’d destroyed her life. Coming back in time meant that she now had a chance for a future. That was all that mattered. Oh, and Kain. He mattered most of all. About to head out through the destroyed wall, Pearl felt the strange magic brush against her skin. She frowned, instinctively reaching out with her powers. Immediately she realized that it hadn’t come from a demon. Which meant that Ethan wasn’t responsible for his own disappearance. Her heart missed a sudden beat. If someone else had created the portal, then that meant… Hope. Kain pressed his back against the wall, gritting his teeth as he struggled to remain upright. A task that would be a lot easier if the fur

 Kain offered a throaty laugh. “Ah, a demanding female,” he rasped, allowing one of his hands to slide between her thighs and stroke through her damp heat.Her nails scored down Kain’s back, pleasure searing through her.“I have a lot of time to make up for,” Pearl reminded him.He crushed her lips in another demanding kiss. “We have all eternity.” He lifted his head, staring down at her as he pressed his finger into her tight flesh. “We do have all eternity, don’t we? Once I claim you there’s no way I’m going to let you go.”Pearl instinctively dug her heels into the mattress beneath her as she tilted her hips upward.“Yes,” she
