The Book of Azrael (Gods & Monsters, #1)

by Amber V. Nicole

We sat on the overpriced couch I’d bought her as a graduation gift and made a complete mess of the apartment she loved so much. Her graduation was months ago, and I hadn’t seen her since.

A thousand years old and just now finishing college 🤔

I’d opted for a black spaghetti-strap tank, the hem fluttering over a white leather skirt.

I swallowed, taking in his appearance. He looked so different. Who had made him hot? Why was he hot now? His shorter hair looked more modern than I thought it could.

That earned me a real smile. Dianna looked down at our joined hands. “I promise not to tell.” Her thumb traced over the back of mine. “You’re sweet when you’re homicidal.” “I don’t know what that means.”

I cautiously relaxed my grip on her wrists, releasing her hands. She took a step forward and spun, her fist shooting out too fast for me to deflect. I heard the crack both inside my head and echoing in the room as blistering pain shot through my nose and across my face.

Dianna, you are already dangerous. Now let’s make you lethal.”

Something shifted in her hazel eyes when they met mine. It was small, but world-shattering. Her lips slanted over mine, and for the first time in my entire existence, I froze. Her kiss was light, tantalizing—and everything I never knew I had been missing.

My magic teased at her clit, licking and sucking.

Now that’s cool

“That’s eight ways now, because when we leave here, I’m going to fuck the word friend out of your vocabulary.”

“Does this make us actual enemies now?”
