“Likely true. Unless, of course, I am able to break you down first. Get you to surrender to me.”
“Never.”
“I’ve heard that before.” He stood up and walked over to the shelves. After a minute, he picked up a whip. “This should get us started on the right track. Let this leather be my touch.”
Vincorte stepped behind her, out of sight.
“What are you doing?” Please, red power. Come back.
“I’m going to take little bits of flesh off your back.”
Eve bit her lip, preparing for the worst.
Before it came, though, the door opened and Azlian walked into the room.
Instantly, she knelt low on the ground in front of the archdemon. “Master.”
Vincorte stepped back into Eve’s view, her flailing averted for now.
“Why are you here, Azlian?”
“I have some of Eric Langley’s notes, my lord.”
He held out his hand. Still crouching on the floor, Azlian reached down into some invisible pocket of her skin-tight pants and pulled out some white folded papers. She turned them over to Vincorte.
He paged through them and then looked up. “I’m very pleased. There are more?”
“Yes.”
“How did you get these?” Vincorte cupped her chin and urged Azlian to her feet.
The female demon blinked her beautiful violet eyes. “I’ve brought the immortal responsible for getting these pearls to you. He’s in the hallway, hoping to meet you.”
“Do I know him?”
“Yes, Master. Nash, David’s second in command.”
Nash is just on the other side of that door. Hope sprung up inside Eve.
“Perhaps this female mouse has lured a tom cat to my ship. Azlian, I want at least seventy-five darklings in that hallway in ten seconds after the jinn enters this room.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Excellent. I’ll see him now.”
Azlian opened the door, and in walked the immortal who had stolen her heart.
“Nash, I thought I’d never see you again.”
He didn’t even look at her. Oh God. Was he also under some kind of spell like Quade had been?
He knelt down in front of Vincorte, placing his hands behind his back. “Master.”
Vincorte laughed.
Eve’s heart sunk. It had to be evil magic.
How could she cancel it out like she did with Quade? That had been a fluke. Now she couldn’t even summon enough power to light a match.
“Azlian, leave us.”
The woman bowed low to Vincorte and then left.
The archdemon went to the chair and sat. “You bring me a gift of Langley’s notes and think I’ll take you right into my fold, Nash?”
“I hoped so, my lord.”
“Tell me. Why leave the Alliance? You have a position of prominence.”
Nash remained kneeling, but looked up at Vincorte. “David promised me that one day I would get a seat on the council of Seven. I’m sick of waiting for that day.”
“Impatient. I like that in my children. I see some darkness in you, but still a great deal of light. What shall we do about that?”
“Speak, Master. I will obey.”
Eve hated seeing him in such a state. She closed her eyes trying to gather up any bits of power she could find inside her. Nothing. Damn it!
“Well, you’ve come at an important time. I believe you know this woman.”
Nash looked up. His face didn’t show any sign of emotional connection. “I do.”
“Well, she’s a bit of a puzzle to me. An unbound bloodliner with power she can access sporadically. Sound familiar?”
“Yes, Master. I experienced the same from her at the Ranch.”
“What came of it? Did she injure you?”
“No. No injuries. More of a light show.”
“Can you get her to do it again?”
Nash answered, “I can.”
Panic sprawled over Eve’s skin fast, multiplying her trembles.
“Show me,” Vincorte commanded Nash.
Nash walked over to her and pinched her nipples hard. “Slut, you’re going to give me that tight hole. Do you understand?”
Now she knew that her life would end tonight. Even in his current state, she was glad he was here with her. If she had to go out, let it be by Nash’s hands and not Vincorte’s or any of the archdemon’s ilk.
“Yes, Sir. I understand,” Eve answered.
Chapter 18
As Azlian left the room, Nash fought down the fury burning in his gut caused by the sight of Eve strung up so exposed for Vincorte’s amusement.
“What are you waiting for, jinn?” the archdemon asked. “You want to join my brood and become an ifrit or not?”
Coming down the stairway earlier, Nash had counted twenty darklings. There may have been more behind some of the closed doors. If his count was right, his plan might work, though it would be a long shot.
“Master, don’t you mean archifrit?” He hoped to continue the ruse of why he’d chosen the Dark over the Alliance.
“Arrogance. Very nice. Of course I meant archifrit, Nash.”
He hoped to keep Vincorte talking long enough for Kronos and David to bring in the troops. He didn’t want to expose Eve to more pain.
“And will I have my own darklings to command?”
“If that’s what you want. Just get on with it.”
Eve’s eyes were wide with fear. He hated that, but couldn’t slip and let Vincorte know the real reason he was here. If he failed, she would die.
“Yes, Master.” Eve, please hear me.
No response from her. He’d keep trying.
“What a pretty little slut. You love spreading your legs for me?”
She nodded.
Eve, my love. Hear my thoughts.
Nothing.
Nash probed her folds. No moisture. Fear had dried her up, no doubt. So he fingered her until her pussy wept and her body began to respond to his touch.
“Jinn, I want to hear her screams of submission to you.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Please, little one. I’m here. Kronos is coming.
Nash pinched her nipples hard.
Eve yelped.
“You want to be my whore?”
“Yes,” she whispered, her voice pulling at his cock. “I want to be whatever you need me to be. Please use me, Sir. Take me.” Eve licked her lips.
Her eagerness for sex caused a spark to shoot down his spine and into his balls. His willpower vanished. Vincorte’s magic or Eve’s bloodline power? He wasn’t sure. I’ve got to stay in control. But his cock betrayed him, hardening to the max. He watched Eve close her eyes. Her moans sent a come hither message to his lust. He needed a moment. If he wasn’t careful, he’d take her right then, forgetting about Kronos and the plan.
He stepped up to the shelves that held some insane devices. “Master, I want to make her suffer.” The words felt like acid in his throat.
“Get on with it. Check her cunt out with your fingers.”
Fucking bastard! Eve, Kronos is coming with help. He could tell that she still couldn’t receive his messages.
Nash took his hand and pressed her mound lightly.
A ghost of a smile flitted over her face and then disappeared.
“So, you can touch her. Excellent. But I want more.”
Hurry, Kronos! I can’t fool Vincorte for much longer, if I’m fooling him at all. Nash doubted the angel could receive his messages from down here, but he still had to try.
Still, just touching her started his lust engines and tightened his testicles. His mouth dried as he felt her trembling through his fingertips.
Her hazel beauties fixed on him. She took a deep breath, and her chest rose like an invitation.
Unconsciously, his tongue passed over his dry lips, imagining tasting her taut bits of flesh. His cock got even harder.
“I’m going to fuck you, human.” Eve, please o
pen up. Once you do, you might hear my thoughts.
Her eyes widened, but she said nothing. Her expression was a mix of confusion and resignation.
“Jinn, I want to triple with you and this human, not in the Alliance way but in my way. You and me dining on bloodliner power. But I still don’t believe you have her controlled enough for me to touch her. Hurry up, or I’ll bring my other children to finish the job.”
“They wouldn’t be able to touch her either, Master. I just need more time with her.”
Kronos should’ve been here by now. Nash’s gut tightened.
“You’re stalling. It’s an insignificant inconvenience. You’re time is almost up. She may be able to blast two darklings at a time, but what about twenty? Forty? One hundred? If I lose some of my soldiers, so be it. I’m willing to find out the necessary number to break her. Are you?”
“Nash, there’s no hope. He wins.” The timbre of her voice waved the white flag. “Do what he says, please. At least I will have you touching me.”
His jaw clenched. Kronos should’ve been here by now. The plan hadn’t worked. He’d failed Eve, and now she would die. They both would.
“You’re so amazing, Eve,” Nash whispered. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I didn’t know it, but I have.”
He touched her lips with his mouth, demanding entrance. She parted her lips, and he moved his tongue into her. She tasted sweet.
I swear I’ll figure out a way to get you to safety and away from this asshole.
Eve’s thought shot to him. I know you will.
He broke their kiss. You can hear my thoughts.
She nodded.
Kronos is coming with help. We’ll get you out of here.
Eve’s thought pierced him. I trust you.
“Enough!” Vincorte shouted. “Your time is up!”

David keeps asking about the book. He must know I have it. How? Magic? It’s the only leverage I have with him. I don’t doubt he would drop our project, and me, if he ever gets his hands on it. So, I used my new bloodline magic today to put the book in a safe place where no immortal can get it.
If we succeed, he can have the damn book. I still have the scanned images of all the Bloodline’s genealogical pages on this flash drive. Once healed, I will find all the living bloodliners if it takes my entire life, and I will get them the cure they need to live.
Eric’s Flash Drive: day 68—entry 2
* * * *
Eve watched as Vincorte transformed back into his demonic shape with black fire licking at his legs and arms. Still, if anyone could figure a way out of this nightmare, Nash and Kro could. Dread filled her up to the brim.
Nash turned toward Vincorte, his own body reshaping into green smokiness.
An explosion resonated from the hallway. Vincorte jerked toward the door. It opened and in rushed David, Gideon, Atticus—and Kro!
Instantly on seeing Kro, she was filled with joy, even in this dark dungeon.
“How?” Vincorte asked, raising his hand sending black boulders at the new arrivals.
David conjured giant blue cylinders, intercepting and obliterating the archdemon’s magic. “What can I say, Vincorte? I’ve got smart immortals on my side, too.”
Nash sent a hundred magic daggers at the archdemon. Vincorte quickly diverted them.
Kro worked his way to her and positioned himself next to Nash. How is Eve, Nash?
I’m okay, Kro.
He turned for an instant toward her, then back to the battle still going on. Sweetheart, I love you. We’ll get you out of here.
Yes, we will. Nash agreed.
The skirmish continued with violent magical charges and countercharges. Eve could feel the air warming up.
Nash sent another volley of daggers toward Vincorte. Where are Micki, Jared, and Bradley? They should be here. Are they still in the Ether looking for Timu’s book?
Yes. Either that or trapped there by Terrok. Kro lofted a ball of blue energy at the archdemon.
Vincorte seemed to be struggling, but only slightly. Nash’s daggers and Kro’s sphere vanished in black flames.
Suddenly, Azlian and other darklings poured in through the door. The battle shifted instantly to Vincorte’s side for a moment, then the Alliance warriors somehow were able to push the demonic band back into the hall. Eve marveled at the their skill. Only Nash and Kro remained with her in the room.
Kro waved his hands in a circle in front of him. “Nash, I can’t open a portal.”
“Let me try.” He also drew a circle in the air. “Damn.”
“Our guys have them in the hall, but that won’t last. How are we going to get Eve out of here?”
“I don’t know.”
“Guys, I love you. I guess I have for quite awhile but was afraid to admit it. I surrender. Whatever happens, at least we’re together.”
“I love you, Eve.” Kro kissed her cheek.
Nash grabbed her hand and squeezed.
“How do we get her down from here?” Kro asked. “I’ve tried to dissolve her bindings, but can’t.”
“That’s it!” Nash exclaimed.
Kro stepped back. “What?”
“We bind to her right now.”
“That’s crazy.”
“Is it? What other choice do we have? If we don’t try, Vincorte will win the battle and she dies.”
More explosions erupted outside the door, sending shivers down her spine.
“And if we fail?”
“We won’t.” Eve felt warmth shoot over her skin.
She was ready to commit to them forever, even if their forever meant only a few minutes. Whatever the outcome, she needed to connect with them body, mind, and spirit.
Kro eyes studied her. “Okay. There’s nothing I want more, and I can’t argue the logic of the idea.”
Nash nodded. “First, let me conjure a wall between the battle and us. It might only hold for a moment, but it will give Eve the privacy she deserves.”
Smoke shot out from him, filling the center of the room and solidifying into a wall of green bricks. Instantly, the sound of battle lessened.
Kro’s fingers circled her clit while his other hand tweaked her nipple. Electric charges pulsed deep in her body.
“You’re fantastic, Eve. Let that red power out for me.”
“I’ll try my best.”
Nash slapped her ass. “Your best will be to succeed and submit. Holding back from us is not an option anymore. Your safety is too important for me to let you just try. I want you to do it. Understand?”
“Yes, Sir. But what if it isn’t just me that’s holding back?”
Kro tilted his head. “You mean me?”
“No. You want this. I can tell.”
Nash squeezed her hand. “You think it’s me?”
“Maybe. You both opened me up to my fear of commitment the other night. It all stemmed from losing my mother, my aunt, and the betrayal of my uncle.”
“Kro and I both know that. What about me?”
“Gwyneth. She’s holding you back from me.”
Nash snorted. “No. I cared for her, but that’s all. It’s not the same with you.”
“No? You were supposed to protect her, and she died. I think deep down you’re afraid that you will fail to keep me safe, too.”
Nash closed his eyes. “I will not fail you.”
“I believe that. Do you?”
“I didn’t love Gwyneth enough. I cared for her, yes, but still she died. What if I can’t protect you? What if you…” Nash opened his eyes. Eve could see the internal struggle on his face.
“Do you love me, Nash?”
“I love you to the core of my being.”
“And I love you. It’s enough. Bind to me. Let go of the past. You won’t fail me. It’s not possible. If we only have moments left with each other, let’s make the most of it.”
Nash smiled then kissed her more gently than ever before. A massive pulse of longing rushed through her,
and wetness seeped from her pussy. The next moment, all remaining clothes vanished. She stared down at fully erect cocks that revealed hunger, and her ache expanded.
The more they tasted her and touched her, the more the world seemed to spin. Like the subspace she entered by Nash’s hand, all she could think about was being with these two amazing men—her men.
She tilted her head back as she felt Nash’s dick slide between her ass cheeks. When Kro’s tongue grazed her clit, red light bounced on top of her skin.
“Kronos, you see that?”
“Yes, she’s powered up.”
Eve licked her lips as Nash slicked up her ass ring with his tongue.
“You like this in you, Eve?” Nash asked between licks.
“Yes, Sir.”
“Eve, your pussy is nice and wet for my cock. You ready?”
“Yes, Sir.” She closed her eyes.
Each immortal entered her body with their dicks, filling her up. She’d never felt so good, so protected, so connected.
Nash sent, Do it, Eve. Open up. Trust us.
Yes, Sir.
“It’s working.” She opened her eyes and saw Kro’s eyes gazing directly at her. He smiled and continued matching Nash’s strokes, one for one. “Let’s form the triangle—now.”
They pumped deep into her backside and channel over and over. She could see Kro’s blue energy and Nash’s green wrapping around her. She sent out her red bloodline power to their magic bands. The three colors braided together.
“That’s it, Eve. Bind to us.” Nash’s voice sounded excited.
Kro smiled. “Sweetheart, you can do it.”
Eve felt tears of bliss roll down her cheeks. She could. The sound of the battle grew louder, but she didn’t care. All she needed was to be theirs and for them to be hers.
“I surrender!” she yelled, as her craving for release crashed against her insides.
Eve opened up every part of her to Nash and Kro, and she felt her old pain wash away.
“Eve, are you close?” Nash asked.
“Yes, Sir.”
“Kro?”
“I’m past ready, buddy.”
“Come on my command?”
Eve curled her toes, holding back until he allowed her. “Y-Yes, Sir.”
“Come now.”
Eve felt the two men crash their bodies against her, emptying their balls of their hot load deep inside her. As her own orgasm sent an earthquake through her body like none before, she saw Nash’s wall come down.
