The threat lingers in the air and Cole drops his arms. He is in trouble here. He should have listened to Devon and learned some magick. Even if it was just Astraporting so he could get his son away from Her.
“She has something that I want,” Tiamat says, dropping the polite charade and showing him Her anger at his reticence to speak to Her.
“Then go and get it off her,” Cole says. “We’re done here.”
She reaches out for his arm and stops him from going anywhere. “No, we are only just starting,” She says, Her eyes glowing a bright, eerie green. “You are my bait.”
“Bait?” Cole sneers to hide his fear. “For what?”
“You will find out soon enough,” She says. “I think we are going to have some fun with each other while we wait.”
“No,” Cole says determin
edly, shaking Her hand off his arm. “I am done with that life. I am done with her. Find someone else to mess with.”
“There is no one left,” She says and grips his wrist so tightly it snaps. He stifles his yelp of pain and then She Astrals him off his front porch to God knows where.

Prologue
The Underworld, September 2014 - Cole
“Cole, wake up, my love.”
Cole opens his eyes to look straight into the green eyes of his ex-wife and ex-sire, the woman he still loves but just cannot live with. “Liv,” he whispers. He isn’t sure if she is real or just his imagination. His surroundings are the same as they have been since Tiamat took him off his front porch and locked him away in this cave prison.
“I’m here to rescue you,” she says in a normal tone. “I just need to know if you have told them anything.” She traces her cold hand over his lips, and he flinches.
“I don’t know anything,” he says and feels guilt at her disappointed look.
“You must know something,” she says with a harsher tone, her hand now trailing down his bare chest. He has been stripped naked while he was in an induced slumber. He is lying on a small cot with a scratchy blanket slung over his hips.
“You know that I don’t,” he says to her. “I haven’t seen you since the day you signed the divorce papers.”
His breath hitches as her hand goes underneath the blanket and the icy feel of her cupping his balls makes him groan. He has missed her touch, but as she starts to run her hand up and down over his cock, he doesn’t think it is her touch. He reaches out to her, but she pushes him away.
“Where did I take Delinda?” she leans in close to whisper to him, her hand still working him over in an amazing hand job that feels so good he wants to come in her palm.
“I don’t know,” he says, confused. “Why are you asking me that?” He doesn’t understand what is going on here.
“Cole,” Liv snaps at him, taking her hand away from him to his utter disappointment. “Concentrate.”
“Liv,” he says, sitting up. “What is going on here?” He looks deep into her eyes and then he can see that it isn’t her. It is an imposter.
