Finn leaned against the corner of the building and watched Tori get out of the human cop’s truck. Things had been getting interesting, and for a minute he’d thought they were going to make out right there in the parking lot. Not only would it have been entertaining, it would have given him something to throw into Tori’s face whenever she got too big for her britches. But to his disappointment they hadn’t.

“So you’re also a voyeur,” a lilting voice said from behind him. “Good to know.”

He turned his head and looked at Keira as she walked up to stand beside him. “I spy on people only when it might lead to something useful.”

She cast him a sidelong glance. “Do you play Peepin’ Tom much, then?”

Finn shrugged. “I lurk. That’s what I do.” He shifted his position, leaning his back against the wall. “And just what do you mean by ‘also a voyeur’?”

Her smile was a slow dance of pure wickedness. “Oh, you’ve quite the reputation.” She drew one finger down his shoulder, leaving a trail of sparks he could feel even through his clothing. “Playboy. Ladykiller.” Her expression sobered. “Ne’er-do-well.”

“Oh, a ne’er-do-well, really?” He crossed his ankles, bearing his weight on his heels. Shoving his hands into the front pockets of his jeans, he said, “Now you’re just flattering me.”

“Do you think so?” Keira reached into her purse and pulled out some sort of plastic hair clip. Holding it between her lips, she lifted her arms and gathered her long hair up off her neck, then fastened it. Stray strands fell around her face, curling in the humidity of the approaching dusk. Without thinking he reached out and scooped several strands behind her ear.

She drew in a startled breath but her expression didn’t change. “You have an odd opinion of yourself then.”

He made note of her reaction and determined some day, and someday soon, he was going to get that reaction from her again. “I’m a demon,” he said, figuring that was explanation enough. He glanced around the nearly empty lot. “What’re you doing here?”

“Oh, meeting new people.” She gave a dainty shrug. “Gettin’ the lay of the land. You know.” She moved a little closer, tilting back her head to look up into his face. “I’m findin’ that Scottsdale’s an interesting place.”

She didn’t know the half of it. He heard a car start up and peered around the edge of the building to see Tori’s tiny piece of tin she called a car pulling out of the parking lot. For God’s sake, who ever heard of a werewolf driving a Mini Cooper?

Not him. As much as he hated to leave Keira’s side, he had to keep an eye on Tori and her family. He’d been hearing things, things that surprised him and piqued his interest. He turned back to Keira. He hated to bail on this gorgeous woman, but he needed to see what Tori was up to. He had reports to file, and the lord of demons didn’t like to be kept waiting.
