contempt.
    “I know that you aren’t jealous.” I stated flatly.
    She narrowed her eyes at me. “Jealousy has nothing to do with it. Were you making love to her…physically?” She wanted to know.
    I pursed my lips and leaned back in my chair with a slow exhale.
    Obviously.
    “You did didn’t you? Of course you did. No woman screams like that unless she’s getting…”
    “What’s your point Edanai? Is that why you’re upset with me? You already know how I feel about Starling. She remembered me, thankfully, and that’s the only reason that I’m still alive right now. For all I know, it could have been the only moment that I’ll ever get to have with her.” I cut her off. Saying the words, even though I knew that there was no way I’d ever allow that, cut me deeply to hear.
    What if that had truly been the only time that we would ever have together?
    No. It wouldn’t be. Not as long as I existed. Even Elohim wouldn’t be able to keep me away from her, let alone the divine warriors. She was carrying my child and I would kill any being to protect the both of them.
    I was growing annoyed with this conversation already. She had completely doused my good mood since returning from my swim.
    Her brows knitted together in confusion and chagrin.
    “She remembered you?” Her tone had simmered down considerably. “How?” She shook her head in disbelief.
    “I don’t know. It was way more than I could ever hope or wish for though, so I’m not going to dare wonder how or why.”
    “Does she remember us too?” She wanted to know.
    “Given time, I’m sure she will. She remembers Rahab.”
    I shut her up for the moment. Her mind was working and I think I know what she was thinking.
    “Cam`ael—did you impregnate her?” her jeweled eyes pierced me with the question.
    I hesitated, biting my bottom lip as my eyes flicked away from hers briefly.
    “Oh shit.” She exaggerated each word. Her eyes widened and then she exhaled in exasperation.
    It hadn’t really dawned on me why Edanai was this upset over my encounter with Starling but now I was finally getting it.
    She already knew that was inevitable. I’ve wanted Starling for so long. We had been granted the opportunity and I took it. She was mine now— in more ways than one.
    Demons and fallen were incredibly virile and potent. Pregnancy was nearly one hundred percent, which was why I steered clear of actual vaginal contact with women, until Starling. Edanai was both hurt and upset because it was the one thing that she had always wanted and tried to have. It was part of the s in that had gotten her cast out. I would not allow her to have it with me either, which both hurt and infuriated her but I had my reasons. It took her a long time to accept it though and I know that this news definitely doesn’t help.
    She slowly stood up, a hand covering her mouth in thought as she pac ed the length of the table, her other hand fisted against her hip.
    I let the silence remain in between us while wondering how Starling was faring right now. I had no choice but to trust the angels. They couldn’t lie and I knew that they wouldn’t let anything happen to her.
    “No pun intended but you’ve really screwed her now, Cam.” Edanai suddenly spoke. She turned her head and her eyes narrowed in accusation, “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” She finally whispered.
    Did I? Maybe I did. Was it wrong? Very. Would it end up badly? More than likely. I averted my gaze from hers.
    A sharp breath of annoyance seeped out of her lips as she turned her back to me once again and shook her head.
    I could tell that she didn’t want to face me on purpose. I had nothing else to say in regard to her question. I didn’t have to say anything.
    “Where is she now?” She asked. Her back still facing me.
    “The hall.”
    Her head shifted and cocked slightly, “How was she able to return?” She inquired with surprise.
    “I’m not entirely sure.”
    “Sadly, she’s going to be the
