“Since Kristina is the first Ol’ Lady of the Reaper’s Order, I think she should take on the responsibility of the club girls. What do you say, honey?” Pres asks her.

Her ass is back firmly on my lap, while she cleans the blood from her hands.

“What would that entail?”

“Keep them in line, making sure they ae not causing shit with the hang-arounds and my men. We do not ask for much from the club girls, but we do expect them to cook and clean for us. We offer them protection, plus free room and board, they are fed, watered and fucked.”

Kristina nods. “Can I add one thing I would like to do, of they want too?”

“Shoot.”

“Offer then an education if they do not have it. Maybe they feel stuck here because they have no formal educational background.”

He thinks it over and then nods.

“We can offer that to those who want it. There is a community college about thirty minutes from here.”

“Great, thank you, Zeke,” she pauses. “Or do I call you Pres?”

“Zeke is fine. We are family now,” my woman nods to Pres.

“I will get together with them tomorrow. What about medical check-ups?”

“We can die, but only by the hands of another demon, plus we can get hurt like humans, but we recover quickly. As for human illnesses and diseases we cannot catch them, but for the sake of pretense, maybe you could arrange it.” Pres informs her.

“Do the club girls know what you all are?”

“No. It is safer for them and us. Unfortunately, we have hunters that want us from the face of the Earth also, even though we send evil fucks back into the fire.” Zeke adds.

“Hunters are humans, that have died and were brought back, but they have seen the other side, and now they see demons.” Teo explains.

“Fuckers almost got me back last year.” Rupert informs her.

“What happened?” Kristina asks, sitting forward, genuinely interested.

I watch as Rupert tells her the story of how the hunter almost killed him, he was hurt bad but pulled through obviously. Seeing her in my club, interacting with my brothers only solidifies that Fate made the right choice for me.

She is fucking perfect.

My hand is resting on her bare thigh, my thumb tracing back and forth over her skin. Goosebumps appear, making me smirk, I love the reaction I get from her from my touch.

Sitting back, I let them talk, while I think over my fucked-up life. How I went from having a woman, a baby on the way and a decent job. To being a criminal, and drug addict, with a woman and a baby on the way but it was not enough for me to sort my lei out.

I was so fucking dumb back then, naive to the way shit works. If I knew then, what I know now, my life may have been different, but on the other side of thinking, I fucking love being a Reaper.

The power that I hold makes me feel like I have a purpose now. I was so fucking lost when I first brought back, but thanks to Zeke and my brothers I learned to lean into my new path and enjoy it.

Now I have my woman, one that was gifted to me. One who I will love, treasure and protect until my time is up.

“Hey, are you okay?” I blink, smiling at my girl.

“Yeah, babe. Just thinking about the past and the future.”

“Yeah. What conclusion did you come too?” Her bright green yes stare back at me, wonder shining back.

"That I will not fuck up again. You will have all of me, my love and loyalty. My respect, my protection.”

“Tyson.” Her eyes turn glassy, as she whispers my name.
