Epilogue
Desmond strolled down the streets of New Orleans, basking in the cool winter air, at least what passed for cool this far south. He loved everything about the vibrant, sexy, slightly seedy city that had been his home for the last century. As he made his way down the French Quarter women stopped in their tracks and stared. Men knew enough to get out of his way. Everything was as it should be he mused pleased with himself.
Especially with his latest endeavor.
The gods knew it hadn't been easy. Daniel had been more dead than alive after his brothers had ripped his inner beast apart. Even with saving his original body, it had taken a considerable amount of Des's own vast powers to bring both Daniel and his beast back as one. Thanks to the length of the curse, they could no longer survive without the other at this point. But the beast had proven to be Daniel's savior - without its fierce strength and desire for Maya, Des may not have been strong enough to pull out the win.
But win he did. At this precise moment Maya and Daniel were doing the horizontal tango and he was one more love connection closer to breaking his own damn curse.
And break it he would. Daniel’s two hundred years of hell was a solitary drop in the ocean of Desmond’s own personal hell. Isadora’s curse would have felt like a summer vacation compared to the nasty bit of goddess vengeance he’d been whammied with. And tonight he was that much closer to getting his proverbial monkey off his back. Tomorrow would herald a new day and get him one step closer to his own bid at freedom. He even had the next lucky lady in his sights – only she didn’t know it yet.
But she would soon enough.
Des smiled, sending several pulses in his vicinity skyrocketing. Turning his attention to a pair of brunette beauties who’d stopped to ogle he gave them a wink and beckoned them over. Gasping, they made quick work of hustling over, being sure to bless him with quickly arched backs and their sultriest looks.
He had more than enough time to play a little in the Big Easy before heading back to Wolfgard for his next assignment.
After all, all work and no play…
Made Des really, really horny.
