Chapter Eleven

Staying in bed and having pillow talk wasn’t really an option for them.

Sex with Sully had been necessary, as vital as breathing for Sadie. She’d had to feel him within her. She’d needed that reassurance. Needed to make absolutely certain that Sully was all right—alive, or, at least still undead.

But they had a killer to catch. As much as she would have liked to stay in the bed with him all night, a job waited. Sadie’s life wasn’t an easy one. Not a lot of downtime for a leopard shifter who spent her nights tracking killers.

There was a dangerous predator on the streets. She had to hunt, no, they had to hunt. So less than an hour later, she and Sully were scouring the streets of Miami. Her nostrils twitched as she fought to catch the scent of the other leopard. But she didn’t detect the deep, musky odor. Just caught the smell of cigarettes, car exhaust, whiskey, and too-expensive perfume.

“Anything?” Sully asked.

Sadie shook her head. “Not yet.” But she’d find him. Her gut told her that the leopard hadn’t turned tail and fled the city. Not his style.

He’d needed to heal, just as Sully had, and when his strength was back—could already be back—he’d hunt again. She wasn’t in the mood to find any more savaged human women. Women whose bodies had been tossed into trees and left for their blood to drip onto the ground.

In the wild, leopards often stashed their prey in trees to keep other predators, like lions, from taking their precious food. The better to savor the meal. But this was Miami, not the wild, and the leopard was leaving his kills in the trees for one reason…to make the humans afraid. To leave them a message.

There’s something in the dark you need to fear.

Yet despite his taunting warning, the streets were packed this night.

More prey, just waiting.

“They don’t believe what they see,” Sadie murmured as Sully came to a stop behind her. “They won’t know what’s coming for them until it’s too late.” A human would be no match for a full-grown, male leopard shifter. The leopards were so strong.

“We’re going to find him.” Sully sounded certain. “The bastard can’t hide forever.”

But he could kill again, before they found him. He could—

The phone on her hip vibrated. Sadie had the phone at her ear in two seconds time. “Owen?” She knew he’d be the only one to contact her now.

“Brently and Moore Street.” The special agent’s voice was thick with excitement. “Abandoned house. Got a phone tip—some guy swears he saw a jungle cat crawling into the house.”

No, it couldn’t be this easy…could it?

“He wants animal control,” Owen continued, “but he’s getting us.”

Sadie turned her head so that her gaze could meet Sully’s. “On our way.” The FBI team wouldn’t go in without her. Owen understood what he was facing. She ended the call. Raised her brows. “Our hunt just got a whole a lot easier.” Maybe. The leopard should have been too
