EXCERPT<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

Serenity\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hazel eyes went wide and she stepped back when the hulking mass of man standing before her drew the sword that hung at his waist, afraid that he had changed his mind and was going to kill her after all. She wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sure what to think when he eased himself down onto one knee in front of her, lowered his head, and held his sword out to her, the hilt and tip of the beautiful blade resting on his palms.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am yours to command.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d His French was perfect, making his deep voice so sexy that a shiver tripped over her skin whenever he spoke.<\/p>\n

Was she supposed to do something?<\/p>\n

People were staring again as they passed. What did they see? They certainly weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seeing a man offering a sword to her, that was for sure. To them, did he look as though he was kneeling with his hands raised in supplication?<\/p>\n

Was he dressed in black and gold armour that didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t leave much to the imagination?<\/p>\n

Did he have huge black feathered wings?<\/p>\n

She imagined that he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. If he did, the people would probably be screaming rather than merely glancing at him as though he had gone insane.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Erm, okay.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Serenity hesitated before touching the sword. The gleaming steel was cold beneath her fingers. She took her hand away, not liking the feel of it. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Thanks.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

He stood with grace, his muscles shifting beneath his golden skin, and she tried not to stare at his physique. Either he worked out a lot, or angels were naturally endowed with the body of a god. He was pure perfection as he stood close to her, his broad chest rising and falling, moving the beautifully decorated black breastplate. His stomach was bare, taut muscles delighting her hungry eyes, and the smallest black loincloth in the world protected his modesty.<\/p>\n

Something that she was lacking. She lowered her gaze, taking in the toned length of his legs. They were as powerful as the rest of him. Her eyes roamed back up, over the black cuffs that covered his forearms, decorated in gold with images of lions, and over his biceps to his strong shoulders. From there, they wanted to go to his face, but his wings were too fascinating. They were large, casting a shadow across both him and her, tucked against his back.<\/p>\n

She wanted to walk around him and investigate every delicious inch of him, taking in that he really was an angel and not a man parading as one.<\/p>\n

An angel.<\/p>\n

Abaddon.<\/p>\n

Her mother had taught her gods, goddesses and mythology. She knew all about him and his kind.<\/p>\n

Her eyes finally leapt to his face. He had a smile that could stop hearts and vivid blue eyes with icy flecks in them. They held her gaze, unwavering and strong, and her temperature rose when they narrowed slightly and his pupils widened. What was he thinking in there?<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Did he like what he saw as much as she did?<\/p>\n

The man was a god.<\/p>\n

No, an angel.<\/p>\n

And he was beautiful.<\/p>\n

Breathtaking.<\/p>\n

But he wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t at all as she had thought an angel would look. Everything about him spoke of darkness, right down to his aura. Whatever power he had, it was strong and it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the sort that resurrected mortals or healed them. It felt as though the opposite would happen if he unleashed it.<\/p>\n

Abaddon. The angel of death. Although he had denied that title. What title did he claim as his then?<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So, Abaddon\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Apollyon,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he interjected with a charming smile that teased his sensual lips and made her heart beat a little faster.<\/p>\n

He was an angel. No matter how good he looked and how much he was making her forget her pain just by looking at him, she couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think about him like that. It was wrong of her. He had offered his assistance in getting revenge on her bastard ex and she was going to take it. Whatever dark power this gorgeous man had, she was going to let it rip in her ex\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s direction.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Apollyon?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She stopped her gaze from dropping down to take him in again. If she told him to put on something a little less distracting, would he be able to do it? She had seen through whatever spell he had used. Could he ever fool her eyes?<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I prefer my true name.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He cast a quick glance over her. His eyes lingered in all the places a mortal man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s would.<\/p>\n

Surely, she was off limits too? Angels were asexual weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t they?<\/p>\n

The voice at the back of her mind said that the tall hunk of handsome standing in front of her definitely didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look asexual. He looked like sin incarnate, not like an angel at all.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Serenity.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She offered her hand to him.<\/p>\n

He took it and a jolt ran through her at the feel of his strong warm hand grasping hers. She shook his hand but he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let go when she was done. He held it, his thumb resting lightly against hers.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153My mother thought I could bring peace to a chaotic world.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Her heart sped when his thumb grazed hers and then he took his hand back, his fingers brushing her palm and sending another shiver through her. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not much good at it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153At what?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He quirked a dark eyebrow and tilted his head to one side.<\/p>\n

Serenity sighed inside. Did he know how good he looked? Could angels be conceited? She supposed they were all beautiful so he probably didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t realise that the reason all the women were staring as they passed wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t because they thought he was apprehending her or anything of the sort.<\/p>\n

They were staring for the same reason she was.<\/p>\n

The man was six feet plus of godliness.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Being peaceful… I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m actually quite chaotic.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She shrugged. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nothing I do comes out right. I mean… I thought I was casting a simple spell for vengeance and suddenly you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re here telling me that you heard me calling you. I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t asking for an angel.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He placed his palm flat against her chest and she jumped. Her pulse rocketed and she blushed from head to toe at the feel of his wrist against her breasts. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your heart called me, not your words.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Serenity smiled and nervously took hold of his hand and removed it from her chest before she lost control and threw herself at him.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re good with revenge?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Very good at it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He stood taller, straightening to his full impressive height, looking even nobler and handsome. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am Apollyon, the great destroyer, king of the bottomless\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wait.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She cut him off and held her hands up. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Great destroyer? Maybe this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t such a good idea. I mean, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re an angel and your boss-on-high would probably be a little upset if you blew up half of Paris to fulfil my wish for revenge, and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want him dead… just in pain… and I can really take care of this myself. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean to bother you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It is little bother.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He frowned. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I will only do as you command. The choice of revenge will be yours and I will exact it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What about your boss?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to piss God off. She was sure that he was already fairly angry that people like her existed on Earth, those that could use magic and make their own miracles.<\/p>\n

Not that she had managed anything like that so far. She was better at lighting candles and the small stuff like love potions.<\/p>\n

Serenity glanced up at Apollyon. Would a love potion work on an angel?<\/p>\n

She cursed and told herself to get a grip. Angels probably couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t enter into relationships with mortals and this attraction to him was probably because she was rebounding.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You are my master now.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The serious edge to his expression said that he wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t joking. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I do as you bid.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Serenity\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eyebrows rose and she slowly absorbed the fact that she had her own personal angel.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Then we should…\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sure what they should do. Skulk off and plan something horrible to do to her ex because he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d cheated on her? It all felt a little cloak and dagger and not at all like her. She had never sworn revenge on anyone, had always let her anger go and just got on with her life. Not this time though. She wanted him to pay. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do you drink coffee?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have never tried it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Apollyon smiled. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But I have been told by others that it tastes strangely bitter and sweet at the same time, and has an interesting effect on the body. I would like to try it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Coffee it is.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Serenity led the way towards the fountains and Apollyon came up to walk beside her.<\/p>\n

She really hoped that people weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seeing him as she was.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What do you look like to them?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She looked at a few people to make her point.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153A man dressed in a black suit.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No wings?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

He shook his head. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do not worry. It is only you who are unaffected by the image I project.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Can it affect me?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

He stopped and looked at her. The breeze tousled his fine long black hair, teasing the strands of his ponytail.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You wish not to see me as I am?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

When he said it like that, it made her feel bad. His blue eyes darted between hers, as though he wanted to see the answer in them before she said it.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She stepped towards him. Her heart beat faster again and her palms sweated. She took a deep breath and smiled up at him. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re fine just the way you are.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The wind blew again, catching her blonde hair and sweeping it across her face. She started when he brushed the strands from her face, smoothing them behind her ear, and his fingertips caressed her cheek as he trailed his hand off her. Did he know what he did to her with that touch? What just looking at him did to her on the inside? She kept telling herself that he was an angel and he was off limits, but her body wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t getting the message. It burned to feel his hands on her, to feel his lips against hers and have him hold her close.<\/p>\n

It was insane. She had only just met him and she wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t usually the sort who threw herself at men. Her ex, Edward, had pursued her for months before she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d finally given in and agreed to a date with him, let alone anything else.<\/p>\n

Now she was ready to throw herself into the arms of an angel and pray that he caught her and kissed her just as she wanted him to.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He really hurt you,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Apollyon whispered.<\/p>\n

Serenity blinked and her desire deflated at the thought of what Edward had done to her. She really had to clear her head of whatever ridiculous attraction she felt to Apollyon because it wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t going to happen.<\/p>\n

She started walking again, not waiting for him to follow. She needed a moment to breathe. Since setting eyes on him, her head and heart had been at war and she had to give them both a reality check. Apollyon was here to help her get revenge and that was all. She couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t throw herself at him, or make a move, or do anything that would only end in her getting her heart broken again or winding up as miserable as Edward had made her.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I said something wrong?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Apollyon strode beside her, his long lithe legs making easy work of her hurried pace.<\/p>\n

She was quiet a moment, lost in her thoughts, her gaze drifting over the white stone buildings that lined the narrow street.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153No.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She moved through the crowd at a busy intersection, crossed the road and then walked along another narrow road to the street where her favourite caf\u00c3\u00a9 was. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It just caught me off guard. I mean, I get this sense that you know what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re talking about… as though you… it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s silly.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Can feel it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

She stopped dead outside the caf\u00c3\u00a9 and looked back at him.<\/p>\n

He stood a few paces behind her, his black wings still tucked against his back and the gold decoration on his black armour reflecting the sun.<\/p>\n

She nodded.<\/p>\n

He walked up to her and looked into her eyes. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I can feel it. It is part of the reason I agreed to help you. You do not deserve such pain. You always seemed so happy until recently.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been spying on me?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d It came out louder than she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d meant it to.<\/p>\n

A couple of well-dressed dark-haired women sitting at one of the round tables in front of the caf\u00c3\u00a9 looked her way and then started talking in hushed voices.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am an ang\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He frowned when she slapped her hand over his mouth. His warm breath bathed her skin, tickling her and sending a shiver dancing up her arm.<\/p>\n

Serenity snatched her hand back. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good word to use in public.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We all watch. It is what we do.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

She grimaced. That had probably sounded even worse. The two women were deep in conversation now, furtively glancing at her and Apollyon. They probably thought she had a harem of stalkers.<\/p>\n

Serenity grabbed Apollyon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hand and dragged him into the small caf\u00c3\u00a9. It was quieter inside, only a few people at the small round wooden tables and in the armchairs. She chose a spot away from everyone, near the window, and sat Apollyon down in a low brown armchair next to a small table.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Wait here,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said and hoped that he would.<\/p>\n

What had she gotten herself into?<\/p>\n

Serenity ordered the coffees and looked over at Apollyon while she waited for them to come. He was sitting looking out of the window. Watching the world go by? Did angels really do that? If he said they did, then they probably did all watch over the mortals.<\/p>\n

He shifted his shoulders, frowned and then his black wings unfurled, sending a breeze through the room that had people grabbing their papers, napkins and anything else that had tried to escape in the wind.<\/p>\n

Serenity stared open-mouthed at the sight of him. He sat with his black feathered wings outstretched behind him, almost reaching back to the other side of the room. How big was his wingspan? Each wing was at least eight feet long.<\/p>\n

She grabbed the coffees when they arrived, went back to him, and sat in a daze in the armchair opposite him, staring at his wings.<\/p>\n

Apollyon shifted his shoulders and his wings furled again, the longest feathers curling around and grazing his boots.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I needed to stretch,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said with an apologetic look and then smiled. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It has been a long time since I have had so much freedom. It feels good to stretch my wings.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

She bet it did. He looked like the cat that got the cream, smiling ear to ear, a twinkle in his blue eyes.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What does it feel like to fly?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said before she could even consider what she was asking.<\/p>\n

His smile widened. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bliss. The wind on my face, the feel of it in my feathers, and the way I can see everything and go anywhere. There is no feeling like it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It sounds nice. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve flown… in a plane… but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still flying, right? Something in common.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Would you like to fly?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Was he offering to take her up? The thought made her stomach feel tight but something inside her made her nod.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am sure we can do something about it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

He picked up the white mug of coffee and raised a dark eyebrow at it. He sniffed it first, peered at the frothy top, and then took a sip.<\/p>\n

His feathers quivered and his eyes widened, darting to hers. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What drug is in this?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Serenity picked up her own mug of latte and sipped. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not really a drug. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s caffeine, a natural stimulant. Humans are addicted to it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

He eyed the mug suspiciously. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153A stimulant?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

He looked as though he was going to take another sip and then set it back down on the round table between them. His gaze met hers again and his pupils dilated until his irises were almost as black as them. He shifted uncomfortably and crossed his legs, settling his hands in his lap.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I do not think I should drink any more. It would be unwise.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d His voice was tight and the unmistakable spark of desire in his eyes wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t going anywhere. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I will be having words with my fellow warriors when we next meet. They did not explain the effects well enough.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Effects? She looked down at his hands in his lap and then back into his dark eyes.<\/p>\n

Viagra for angels?<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I thought you were all asexual,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she blurted and then covered her mouth when he turned horrified eyes on her. She blushed ten shades of crimson and tried to think of a spell that would take back what she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d said. It probably wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work on him anyway. Magic didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t affect gods and goddesses, so it was unlikely to affect other supernatural beings.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am not asexual.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The way he said it made it clear that he would be happy to prove it to her right now in the coffee shop.<\/p>\n

Serenity gulped her drink and kept her focus on it, avoiding the smouldering look he was giving her and wanting to crawl under the table and hide.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have not had a woman in many centuries but I am in no way an impotent creature.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Did he have to say it loud enough for the whole coffee shop to hear? She sunk into her chair, trying to avoid the looks she was getting.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I take it back,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she whispered into her mug and peered at him over the rim of it.<\/p>\n

He glowered, passion no longer reigning in his eyes. A dark malevolence shone there and the sense that he wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exactly a good angel in the way she had imagined them returned.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Some people say you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the Devil.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

He leaned back into his chair and sighed. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153First I am the angel of death, and now the Devil? The rumours do spread and stick, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t they?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What are you then?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d She emerged from her mug, sat forwards on the edge of the armchair seat and looked him over. He was sin made flesh, luscious in every way imaginable, and she was sure that angels weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t supposed to be so tempting.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I told you. Apollyon, the great destroyer… angel of the Apocalypse, responsible for raining hell down on Earth when everything comes to an end.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

That wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t comforting at all.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not a good angel then?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

He smiled and there was a sexy sort of darkness in his look. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am good, if by that you mean I do not work for the Devil, but I can be very bad.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

She could imagine. She shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be, but she was picturing him in every position possible and he looked wicked from every angle.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So what does my mistress command?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d His smile held. Something about it made her feel as though he was encouraging her to say the things that were raging through her head.<\/p>\n

What didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t she want to command? She couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t though. She was sure that it was wrong to order an angel to commit sin. For now, while her conscience was still functioning and she could resist the temptation sitting across from her, she would focus on getting her revenge.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nothing involving death. I want him to suffer. I want him to feel jealous and hurt and unloved… as though he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter to me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Apollyon smiled as though he liked the sound of that.<\/p>\n

She held his blue gaze. What she was going to propose was crazy, and would shatter what little restraint she had around him, but she was going to do it.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have a plan.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
