Thorn went completely stiff, while Devyl held his breath…
““Thorn went completely stiff, while Devyl held his breath at something not even he had the bullocks to do. The use of his Leucious birthname was ballsy enough and as far as he dared take insulting the demon. After all, in life, there were some actions just not worth the gamble. Jumping from a cliff that overlooked a raging sea and sharp rocks. Eating glass. Throwing yourself into a raging inferno inside a volcano. Touching the Dark-Hunter Acheron on the back of his neck. Trespassing on the Chthonian Savitar’s island without his permission. Telling the demon Simi no when she didn’t want to hear it. And using Thorn’s summoning name. “Your lack of discretion is foolish,” Devyl warned her. “Were I you, I’d stop before I lose more ground and my head.””
