suck…” Her brain short circuited as the two watched her curiously.
“Suck?” The bare-chested one lifted an eyebrow, almost suggestively.
“A bag of dicks!” The words were out before she could stop herself. As soon as she said it, embarrassment welled inside her. She’d heard Cynara say it to a jerk customer before, but the insult was foreign on Nyx’s lips.
The one on the left laughed uproariously, as if what she’d said was the funniest thing he’d ever heard.
She took a small step for the door. They weren’t directly in front of it and if she could just get out, she was going to make a run for it.
A crack split the air, sending the door flying back as Bo stormed in, his razor sharp talons unleashed as deadly weapons.
Completely naked, covered in blood and ash, his eyes glowed like a supernova. Unless she’d completely lost her mind, he looked even bigger than he had in the ruins. When he looked at her briefly, sweeping her from head to toe, she saw the relief in his eyes before he turned to the other two males.
He snarled, baring teeth as he took a menacing step toward the two males. He didn’t say a word, but the intent written in every line of his body was clear.
He was going to kill these two males.

“Bo, wait!” Nyx raced toward him as the other two males tensed, clearly anticipating a fight. When it was evident that none of them were going to listen to her—and an all-out battle to the death was about to take place, she did the only thing she could think of.
Vases and mirrors in the huge entryway all exploded at once, sending shards flying inward. She didn’t bother ducking, knowing the slivers wouldn’t touch her, not when she’d created the chaos. Belatedly she realized that she’d actually targeted her powers onto specific items, but she couldn’t focus on that now.
All three males froze, looking at her—and all the glass and ceramic froze midair as well.
She had to talk fast. “Bo, they didn’t hurt me. I don’t think they were going to, either. And…look.” Motioning to the tattoos on the one on the left, she took a step closer to Bo, but he held a hand out, blocking her from moving past him.
He turned to the males though, and she could see the awareness register as he saw the tattoos on the male with the bare chest. They were definitely the same as his own.
The one who’d taken her held up his palms in a peaceful gesture. “First, I’m going to put all the glass back in place,” he said even as everything shifted back together.
She’d thought Bo had been the one to freeze everything, but apparently not.
“Second, I’m slowly going to remove my cloak.”
Bo’s body was pulled taut, totally rigid as if he would attack without warning. The other male who was shirtless had the same stance but there was a healthy dose of curiosity on his face as he watched Bo.
When the amber-eyed male took off his hood he had on the same harem-style pants as the other male—and the same swirling tattoos. “I’m putting this down and I’m not going to attack. Neither of us are,” he added, shooting a glare at the green-eyed male.
To Nyx’s surprise the other male straightened, dropping his intimidating warrior stance. Bo didn’t move an inch, not that she was surprised.
“We’re leaving,” Bo said. “And you two aren’t going to stop us.”
The one with the amber eyes flicked a glance at the broken door and doorway. “You’re both free to go. I saw you two in the woods and thought you’d kidnapped her. When you were attacked, I used the distraction to grab her. I just brought her here to keep her safe. Nightfall will be coming soon. You can go, but I wouldn’t recommend leaving until morning. She is…too innocent for this place. At night she’ll be a beacon for everything. Those wings are too bright. The things that come out at night here…” He flicked a glance at her, his expression so similar to Bo’s it stunned her. And he was definitely
