“Can someone please tell her this is crazy talk!” yelled Tyrius as he leaped up on his four legs, his body a crazed fluff of beige and black fur. “What’s wrong with you mortals?” His blue eyes flashed with his demon magic, and my nose wrinkled at the smell of rotten eggs. “Can’t you see how dangerous this is? No one in their right mind wants to summon a Greater demon! It’s too dangerous. It’s like putting a bunny inside the lion’s cage and expecting it not to eat it. It’s madness—”

“It’s brilliant,” said Jax, and Tyrius rolled his eyes back into his head and keeled over.

Pam, surprising me, was right next to him in a matter of two seconds, carefully stroking his fur and massaging his shoulders and back, which I suspected was why Tyrius stayed down longer than was necessary.

Shock shifted through me at Jax’s reaction, and I didn’t care that it showed all over my face. It was not what I’d expected, not even close. I looked at him and saw the silent understanding and eagerness to join in my mad plan.

Jax’s smile was a promise of terrible things to come. “It’s brilliant because the creature will never expect it. And when its lesser mind makes the connection, it’ll be too late.”

“Exactly,” I answered, feeling a little smug at my own brilliance.

“And where do you plan on doing this crazy stunt?” expressed Tyrius, still lying on his side enjoying Pam’s expert hands. He looked from me to Jax, his eyes bright and his face worried.

My self-satisfaction puffed out a little at the concern on his face. I bit my bottom lip. “My place—”

“The priest’s attic?” laughed Tyrius, and he slowly came up and sat. Pam looked a little put off at not touching him anymore, and she began to fold the edge of the sheet. “Just because he’s a priest,” expressed Tyrius, “doesn’t mean his building is sanctified and will protect you. Because let me tell you… it won’t.”

“I know that,” I said, “and it’s a risk I’m willing to take. I know what I’m doing.” Adrenaline pumped through me. “I’m doing this tonight.”

“Tonight?” inquired Tyrius, his eyes narrowed into slits.

“Yes. Tonight.”

Tyrius shook his head, mumbling in some demonic language.

Jax clapped his hands together making me flinch. “Then we better start preparing.”

“You?” I looked at Jax’s face. He was still a little pale and his voice a little too hoarse for my liking. “You’re not ready—”

“No, she’s right.” Pam’s tone gave me a clear indication she didn’t approve of Jax’s decision. She hovered over the bed looking like a concerned parent. She reminded me of my grandmother. “You’re not completely healed yet. You need to rest for another couple of days at least—”

“No way.” Jax lifted the bed sheet off his legs, covering Tyrius with it, and swung his legs over the edge. He was wearing only a pair of black briefs, and my eyes traveled down muscled, golden legs that were practically hairless. Those were some damn fine-looking legs.
