without Madison is a given.”
    A chair scraped across the floor from the Kings’ side of the line. Nix was surprised when Elias spoke.
    “Deal. We’ll be there momentarily.”
    Disconnecting the call, he met Mads and Zenny’s gazes. “I originally thought this might be a con, but if Elias is on board….” Nix shook his head and quirked his lips. That motherfucker was the wildcard to this situation. “And willing to walk into Zen territory without more assurances than he just gave, I’d guess whatever they have to say is legit.”

 
     
    Chapter Eight
     
     
    Micah and his brother came through the portal together. Madison stood on the front porch awaiting their arrival. Beside her, Phoenix clenched his jaw when they appeared.
    The immortal stood nearest to Micah and his twin, on the lawn not more than four feet from where they’d come through. Zennyo Ryuo’s arms were crossed over his chest. “The Lock remains intact until you exit.”
    Elias smirked. “Don’t trust us?”
    No emotion tweaked the immortal’s features, and he was straightforward as always. “No.”
    Once, they’d been allies with Zennyo Ryuo, but the friendly days had long since passed. They’d spent a lot of time attempting to kill one another since.
    They were there for a legitimate purpose. Not even an uptight prick like the immortal would hinder his protection of his wife.
    Micah held the immortal’s stare as he stepped into the Angel Lock. Trapping himself with his wife suited his aim, allowed him to shelter her from the motherfucker that would dare to harm her. He walked past Zennyo Ryuo, resolved to do anything to maintain the safety of his family. His gaze padlocked on Madison as he strode straight to her.
    The reminders of things that had transpired in Hell were like snapshots in his vision. His mouth on her breasts, her belly, and his fingers inside her. Never in their marriage had she been aroused for him. In Hell, she’d been very wet.
    The way she’d moved beneath his touch, her hips flexing to meet the glide of his finger-fucking. Passion a dull pink in her blue eyes, indicating both demon and woman present, while his brothers watched on as he readied to enter her.
    “Where is your family, Phoenix?” He asked the other man the question but continued to contemplate Madison.
    “Inside.”
    Inside . Yeah, he’d almost been inside Madison when she’d abruptly vanished. One moment he’d been sliding between her thighs, his cock butting against her sex, while he lowered his bleeding wrist to her mouth. Then she’d vanished.
    Micah shifted his focus to the Ark, a tic in the other man’s jaw. “Relax. Our purpose is the same once more, Phoenix.”
    “Not quite the same as before.” Madison laced her fingers with the Ark’s as he continued. “Your motives are indeterminate and I don’t trust you.”
    He just barely held back his visible flinch when Madison offered Phoenix physical comfort. Jealousy had been the bane of others, not his, and he disliked the emotion.
    “Where is your sassy-mouthed friend, kitten?”
    An adorable frown knit between her eyebrows, then smoothed out. “Who? Alessa?” Micah nodded. Alessa had taken to calling him angel-jelly when they’d met and then had the audacity to enter Hell with Madison to save Phoenix. “Safely tucked inside the house.”
    There was that word again. Inside . Mere seconds from being surrounded by her wet channel. Just his fucking luck to be deprived of her body. Five more minutes would’ve sufficed.
    The fuck it would’ve. Five hours wouldn’t be enough to sate his body in hers.
    He forced his head back to the present. Living in the past would do him no good. “Where’s Kur?”
    “Canvassing the perimeter.” The Ark of Heaven smirked. “He trusts you even less than we do.”
    Micah bit back a grin. If they only knew his true relationship with the dragon. “I’m betting on Madison having Kur under control.”
    Nix grunted.
    “Kitten….” He brushed his
