She wiped tears from her cheeks and he wrapped his arms around her, pressing her body tightly to his. A sob escaped her and he stroked her back. “I’m here baby. Shhhh, I’m here. You’ll never be alone ever again. I’ll be in you and you’ll be in me, yes?” He held her face and kissed everywhere but on her lips.

“Ace,” she gasped. “I need to kiss you, I need to show you.”

He finally pulled her mouth right to his with a hunger, his back hitting the bed. Their tongues danced and dueled then she held his face in both of her hands, small moans filling his mouth and mind and body.

“Tresor ,” he gushed as sparking heat hit his blood and her moans moved through his soul.

“Ace,” she whispered in his mouth, taking control of the kiss with slow, gentle strokes. “I was there with you, my love. I was there in the dark with you. Look and see.” She gave a long, aching moan that filled his mind with darkness and despair, terror and pain. Fuck, he was in that prison. “I’m with you, I’ll always be with you now.”

A light slowly filled the dank square where he crouched half starved and alone in a corner.

“I’m here love,” she said, reaching her glowing hand to him.

“Tresor ,” he gasped, the darkness of his prison wrapping around him with possessive, hostile arms.

“That’s it, my love,” she whispered. “Come with me. Let us leave this place. I have a paradise prepared for you.”

He could only stare into her bright face and eyes as she pulled him up from the floor and into her arms. Massive white wings rose from behind her and she flapped them once and they soared out of his cold prison and into a warm light.

“I am your paradise now,” she whispered in his mouth. “You are safe with me, my love. You remember you prayed for me?”

“When, Tresor ?” he wept.

“You prayed, God, please take me from this place. And here I am. I took you from this place that haunts your beautiful soul. It cannot have you for you are mine and I am yours. I am your paradise my love.”

Ace grabbed hold of his Tresor as her light scattered all the darkness hiding inside him. “My angel,” he said, wrapping her in his body. “God sent my angel to me?”

She gasped on a sob, nodding. “I am your angel, my love.” She stroked his head, pressing it into her breasts. “I was born to save you. And you were born to save me.”

Ace snuggled in his heaven, never wanting to fucking move again. “My angel,” he whispered, stroking every inch of her beautiful body. “Myangel.”

“Change of plans again,” Rukem sighed after looking at his phone right as they pulled up at the school. “Ace and Sophie willnotbe joining us for dinner after all.”

“Oh,” Darby said lightly, trying to understand his disappointment. “Well…we can cancel if you want.”

“If you prefer not cooking, I’m ready to…” He sighed, making her stomach tense.

“What’s up with you? Something’s bothering you and I can’t really help you if you don’t tell me. Assistant Darby Mae waiting to work.”

“I was hoping to tell you this with Ace and Sophie since it involves both of them as well but there’s no reason I have to wait.”

“Oookay, what’s up?” she quipped, turning in her seat while ignoring her fraying nerves.

“It’s…something that you may find hard to believe. Even I have a hard time believing it and it’s been in the King’s prophetic history for eons.”

Totally not the subject she was expecting. “Well…I believe in the supernatural, so…try me.”

He turned to face her, seeming eager to get it out now. But no matter how fantastical the words were—and they were pretty fantastical, all she saw was how beautiful he was. She forced herself to focus, making mental notes. A coin of prophecy, thirteen prophetic kings, no wait,thirteencoins of prophecy and thirteen prophetic kings, ushering in a golden era or an obsidian era, depending on the side the coin landed on. “So, it landed on obsidian and that’s bad how?”

“We’re not sure,” he said.

“How many coins are there?”

“Only one. Mine. We believe they will come to the kings in the same order the Maggie woman touched the Kings with her gift. She saw all the coins and even drew them, which is quite the advantage for us.”

Wow, this was pretty heavy. “So what does your coin mean?”
