Chapter 10

Apparently, the detective I’d spoken to paid more attention to my dissection of his case than I credited him for.

I wasn’t the only one to come to the conclusion Pete hadn’t done the crime. Before we even set foot in front of a judge, they’d released Pete. According to the grapevine—ahem, Brenda—we owed it all to medical science, better known as “the creepy guy in the morgue.”

The coroner’s initial report stated there was no way a human or Lycan had left the marks on the body; the dentition impressions just didn’t jive. Nothing they had on file matched the marks.

Creepy because it meant whatever had killed the witch remained at large and a mystery, a mystery that intrigued the whole office, which buzzed with inane theories.

My two cents? Didn’t know and didn’t care.

Sticking my nose into a case involving a dead body that somebody had taken a chunk out of and chased down with a slurp of blood wasn’t something I considered necessary for my mental or physical health.

With my late afternoon court visit for Pete cancelled, I stuck my nose to the grindstone—surfing Facebook and reading the latest scandal on TMZ.

It was too late in the day to tackle anything new or intensive, although I wouldn’t have minded taking to the floor my unexpected visitor.

Pete showed up at my office bearing a grin and a box of donuts. It was a toss-up which I drooled for more. Having worked through lunch, donuts won.

The jerk held them out of reach until I’d given him a kiss on the lips. The things I did for sugar.

Breathless and hungry for more than just jelly-filled goodness—the bakery kind, not the sausage—I sat down and gestured for him to take the seat across from me.

While I chewed, he crowed. “I told you I didn’t do it.”

“I never thought you did.”

A snort escaped him. “Yeah, right. Admit it. For one teensy tiny moment, you wondered if I had.”

“Well, you did pee on the woman’s flowers.”

“I also like to write my name in the snow with urine and chase my tail in circles.”

“You have a tail?”

“No. I’m just messing with you. Although…wanna check to make sure?” He wiggled his brows, and I bit my lip so as not to laugh. He truly looked adorable.

“I’m good.” Besides, I’d already seen his fine ass. It was tail free. The only appendage down there jutted from the front, and it bobbed rather than wagged. It also dipped, but I tried not to think of that, lest we entertain my coworkers too much when my old desk broke under our combined weight. “But, tail or not, you do get hairy, with big teeth and claws.”

“I do. I’ve got great big fangs.” He grinned widely at me with his perfect white smile. “It doesn’t make me a killer.”

“Not even when you’re in your wolfman shape?”

“Depends on what you call a killer. Am I more primitive? Yes. Do I hunt? Again, yes. But I hunt animals. Small creatures like rabbits and squirrels.
