How to Date a Demon, Rule #16

If you give the devil a ride, he’ll always want to drive.

“Why are you back? Why can’t you leave me alone?” I huffed.

“I have a job to do. That job is finding your friend,” Cole said.

“Does that really mean you have to tag along with me?” I walked faster.

He nodded with a sigh. “Apparently, it does. You’re not exactly the most delightful person to hang out with.”

I glared. “How dare you. I am a very pleasant person. You try losing your best friend to a demon and see how you feel.”

He stared me straight in the eye and said, “I did lose my best friend to a demon.”

I couldn’t really come back with any witty quips about that. It looked like I had my demon-hunting partner back. Lucky me. Had he really lost his friend or was he just saying that? I didn’t know what to believe anymore.

We were headed down the sidewalk when Cole stopped me. He was doing a decent job of keeping pace with me. We hadn’t said much to each other since we’d left my building. Enough with the small talk with this guy—find Jennifer and he could be on his merry way.

Without warning, he shoved me into the alleyway, pushed me against the wall, and held his arm across my chest. The action had caught me off guard and knocked the wind out of me. One minute we were walking along, and the next, we were smashed up against each other next to a brick building. He didn’t look at me, but instead he poked his head around the corner of the building. As if this was an everyday occurrence. Heck, maybe it was in his world, but I wasn’t having any part of it. Cole wouldn’t get away with treating me that way. He could do that to demons all day long, but not me.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I asked with a growl.

My skin prickled and I felt the familiar sensation when my eyes began the change. A pull tugged inside of me. Hair would be sprouting on my arms at any second if he didn’t back off immediately. I’d hate to have to jam my knee into his nether regions repeatedly.

He answered me with a shush.

The man actually shushed me. Did he cherish his family jewels? I thought not, based on his behavior. This guy had some nerve. If he thought he could push me around like he did the demons, then I’d show him a thing or two. I shoved his arm off me with a not-so-friendly push.

He didn’t respond to my actions. It was as if he didn’t even notice. Like this was his everyday behavior. What a bully. Probably it was his everyday behavior, but it wouldn’t cut it in my world.

“You touch me again like that and you’ll be on your way to hell with a one-way ticket,” I said.

“You see those men there?” He pointed out toward the street.
