still retained his grace and beauty.
    “Better.” She resisted the urge to hug him as she’d done each time they’d greeted one another before he had followed Lucifer in the rebellion against God. Instead she stepped back as the scent of cinnamon and sex twined through the air. She frowned and glanced around them, but only animals were nearby.
    “Your form is luscious, as always, Gabriel.” He slowly circled her, his blue gaze raking over her blatantly. He stepped close and sniffed her hair, not bothering with subtlety. “And freshly fucked from the smell of it.” He finished his circle and faced her. “Although not by a cock.” He leered at her and stepped close. “It’s been a long time for me. How about a nice thick cock to tide you over until you meet your girlfriend again?” He cupped his own large erection while he stared into her eyes.
    The faint scent of burnt cinnamon and female arousal that still clung to him told Gabriel he was definitely exaggerating his claim to “a long time.” With relief she realized the burning jealousy that used to assault her barely even registered. She’d mistakenly given into her urges where Semiazas was concerned once he’d rebelled. After all, by definition, a fallen Archangel was no longer bound by the rules of the faithful. What a mistake that had turned out to be.
    She raised her chin, refusing to step back or let Semiazas’s theatrics make her uncomfortable—probably the reason he kept at it. “How did you break out?”
    He squeezed his cock once more and then pressed himself against her stomach. “No answer to my generous offer?”
    When she stood stock-still giving him no reaction, he finally stepped back, a flash of irritation marring his calm features. “Your loss, my sweet. I’ve been building up quite the stamina while caged these last seven hundred years.”
    “And since your punishment was for ten millennia and not just under one, I’ll ask again—how did you break out?”
    “You don’t think they let me out for good behavior?”
    She let all the derision and disbelief she felt show in her face. “No, I don’t.”
    “Pity. You and I would get along famously if you were more gullible.”
    “Get to the point, Semiazas, or I’m leaving. I only agreed to meet you because you were once very dear to me.”
    He snarled, the animalistic sound coming from his mouth seeming at odds with the superficial beauty of his true form. “Don’t speak to me of that time. You betrayed me! If you and the others would’ve supported us, Lucifer would be on the throne, and—”
    Anger flashed through Gabriel, and as if her body was on autopilot, she grabbed a handful of the front of Semiazas’s designer button-down shirt and slammed him against the nearest tree. “Don’t you dare speak of betrayal to me .” Her gaze burned into him and she let all the anger she’d harbored over the eons show in her expression.
    “Still angry over that, pet?” He smiled, but whereas before his betrayal of their Father, his smile could brighten her entire world, now it was empty and made her feel the same way.
    All the fight and anger drained out of her, leaving only sadness and resignation. She loosened her grip and paced away from him. “What do you want?”
    He stayed leaning against the tree, looking like he’d chosen to lean against it rather than being slammed back against it. “Your help.”
    The laugh bubbled up before she could stop it, the ironic amusement spreading through her body in a cool wash. “My help?” She shook her head as she faced him. “Why would you think I would help you in any way?”
    His knowing smile and confident gaze sent dread curling inside her stomach. “Because it’s in your nature, Gabriel. You believe good will triumph over evil, you still have a conscience, you’re still naïve. That is why I know you will help me.”
    She frowned as she tried to puzzle together what Semiazas referred to before he could twist things around to
