“Fuck, Harlow,” he breathed out. “This is fucking amazing. You’re taking it so well.” The praise was like crack to me, and I soaked it in. If he fucked my mouth this well, I couldn’t wait to see him fuck my pussy.
He shoved his cock in until my face was resting against him and held me there as he came, whispering my name reverently as I swallowed down his cum.
“Where the fuck is Harlow?” Drake’s words cut through the bubble of peace we had, and Roman pulled away and I sucked in a breath, my voice raspy as I answered.
“Just letting Roman fuck my face. We’re coming!” Layne and Crew’s choked laughter filled the space below, and Roman made a choking sound before we both joined in as well. He tucked himself away hastily, and I stood up, brushing the dust from my own jeans. “Come on, we’ve got a world to save.”

Harlow
Tuesday Evening
Dark Haven Library
“The demons are tracking Harlow.” Drake dropped the bomb the moment we were gathered around him. The words had panic rising in me until it was hard to breathe.
“What the fuck do they want with her?” Roman demanded. I had a distinct feeling Hiro wouldn’t be making an appearance until all this chaos was over. Especially with everything Roman just learned.
“They seem to know what her purpose is and will do anything to eradicate the threat.”
I laughed at that. “How the fuck am I a threat?!”
“Your purpose is to stop the portal from opening,” he countered. “They want it wide open so they don’t have to be confined to Dark Haven.”
“How do you know all this?” Layne questioned.
Drake gestured back at the door he came from. “They’re not exactly being quiet about their plans. They’re bold and have numbers on their side. This place is crawling with them.”
“What about the other patients?” Crew asked. Drake shrugged but I could see it bothered him.
“I warded the sixth floor, but it’s not as strong as Ivar’s wards. And I couldn’t get through the other floors. Even the stairwell is loaded.”
“Fuck,” I cursed. “Because Hel gave me a job and a very deadly present while you were busy running around the halls.”
He glared at my commentary. “Well, what is it?”
“We’re not waiting on the gargoyles to wake, I have to wake them. She said this would save me from demons and wake them?” I held up the dagger and his eyes widened.
“She gave you that?” he hissed, reaching for it but stopping himself from touching it. He shifted his gaze to Roman. “I need Hiro to confirm this. He’s the mythology expert.”
“Well, we’re not a sideshow, I can’t just bring him out,” Roman argued.
“Try?” Drake demanded. Roman shifted uncomfortably.
“I’ve never done that,” he admitted, but he went over to the couch and sat, closing his eyes. He didn’t move for long enough I worried he fell asleep.
“While we wait, we have to figure out what to do,” Drake continued.
“I’m staying here,” Layne said. “I’m not a demon or a badass.”
“Agreed,” Crew said. “I won’t leave her and we can offer whatever support you need here.”
“Alright,” Drake said, looking a bit relieved. “It’ll be easier to get us up to the roof without a full group.”
“But I don’t even know how to wake them, she gave me nothing,” I growled. “Everyone loves to give me halfassed answers and I’m just supposed to figure it out.”
“We’re all from Helheim, what did you expect? Someone to hold your hand?” he mocked. “You figure it out like we all did, and you do what you can to shut these assholes back where they belong.”
