CHAPTER 13

“You meddler,” Cory teased when I answered his video call. Him beaming at me on the screen sent relief through me.

I returned the smile. “I did good?”

“You did excellent. I’m sorry about rejecting your company. I thought I wanted to be alone, but Alex coming over helped.”

Yeah, it did. I pulled my mind out of the gutter where it had sashayed.

He sighed and the smile faded. “It was embarrassing and a little scary how out of control I was. And you being there after seeing me like that wasn’t something I could handle,” he admitted in a somber whisper. “I reacted badly.”

“If I had magic, I’d have been just as out of control as you were. Probably more. But you stopped.”

“You stopped me.” He huffed out a breath. “If the situation were reversed, who would I send to your house to comfort you?” he asked with a new liveliness to his voice. “The Alpha or the god?” His question was breezy and casual, but I knew there was true curiosity and sincerity to it.

“Neither. They both suck,” I said, not caring that I sounded like a petulant child. “Because of Asher, I’m being stalked by a geriatric.” I told him about Ms. Harp’s running interference the night before. Cory’s fight to suppress his laughter didn’t make the situation any better. And then I told him about my efforts to convince Mephisto to rescind his offer.

“Did you use your charm?”

“Yes, I did my sexy kitten face and everything.” I lay back on my bed, holding up the phone so he could get a better look at me. “And I even gave him a ‘please.’” I said the last part in the sexy breathy voice I used with Mephisto before flashing him my sex kitten look.

Cory’s face scrunched. “Can I get you to promise to never show me that face again? That’s not sexy kitten, that’s suspicious mange face. Can kittens have mange? I feel like I should call the vet or animal control.”

“Shut up!” I laughed. “I’ve blinded you with my sexy allure and hotness.”

“I never denied your hotness. It’s the sex kitten part I’m calling into question. If that’s the look you gave him, you probably could have gotten him to rescind his offer by promising never to make that face again.”

I rolled my eyes. “Whatever.” My smile faded. “Should I be concerned that I use seduction on Mephisto for my job?”

“Oh honey, that face you made was more like an assault than a seduction. Your integrity is intact. The only thing you should be concerned about is actually getting a sexy face because the one you have is in desperate need of work.”

“Quiet!” I lashed out playfully.

“Did you try your other charming tactic? You know, the one where you storm the castle with all your violent toys and weapons and threaten to beat everyone up? That seems to have a higher success rate.”

“I don’t want to fight with Mephisto because…I need him.” I needed the Huntsmen and had to accept that sometimes our interests wouldn’t align.
