“Lyre,” she sighed, “you are such a pervert.” “If you weren’t wearing those little shorts, I would be a happy pervert. Instead, I’m just a thwarted would-be pervert.”
“The guy is a freaking machine,” Lyre said. He looked at Piper curiously. “What did you think of him?”
“Ash will always be a deadly predator, Miysis will always be a manipulative tyrant, and I will always crave sex with any moderately young, moderately attractive female I spot. It’s our natures.”
“Neither do I,” Lyre added suggestively, confirming her interpretation of Miysis’s remark. The incubus purposefully brushed against her as he passed. She sighed. A bright red button. In the

“You’ll sleep better if you do. I’d make you shower too but you’d probably pass out on me like Ash, and then you’d punch me if I got in the shower with you.” “How would I punch you if I was passed out?” “Ash managed it. Not even sure what his problem was.”
That vision. Dream. Or was it a memory? A memory of … the Sahar. Of the soul inside the Sahar. Natania, a haemon who’d lived and died five hundred years ago. Died so Maahes and Nyrtaroth could bind her soul to their lodestone to give it limitless power. Natania’s bitterness over her lovers’ betrayal would explain the seething hatred and violence that filled the Sahar. Five hundred years of imprisonment in a bit of rock could have only
exacerbated her hate.
Shimmers enveloped him—and then dark wings appeared from nothing, spread wide as he dropped. Her heart stuttered in her chest.
“That was a nice thing to do,” she told him.
“Don’t say that. You’ll ruin my reputation.” “Your reputation sucks anyway.”
His gaze darted to Miysis then back again. He surprised her by huffing in amusement. “Fine. But only because Miysis will lose his shit over it.”
