That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming

All I wanted to do was live my life in peace. Maybe get a cat, expand my spice farm. Really anything that doesn’t involve going on a quest where an orc might rip my face off. But they say the Goddess has favorites. If so, I’m clearly not one of them. After saving the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, all he wanted to do was kill an evil witch enslaving his people. I mean, I get it. Don’t get me wrong. But he’s dragging me along for the ride, and I’m kind of peeved about it. On the bright side, he keeps burning off his shirt.

He thinks they’ll cage him for being with me. Our love’s not right. They won’t understand it. Forbidden. Immoral. Perverse. Vile. I don’t care what they think. It should only matter to us. We are innocent and beautiful and worthy. Love is wild. And we’re going to set it free…
