Chapter Twelve

I stared at Val’s number on my phone. Usually I wouldn’t hesitate to answer, my sweetie had a great phone voice that purred all over my senses, but I’d already proved I couldn’t say ‘no’ when it came to Val’s demands. He possessed the power of an experienced incubus where I had no defenses. One come-hither comment and I was a goner.

Then again, I glanced at the furious demon pacing next to me, I had Amel as protection.

“This is Pia Blyton.” I imitated Cecile’s tone as best I could and tried to sound professional.

“Ms. Blyton.” Val almost growled my name. “Why aren’t you at your parent’s house?”

I blinked at the phone before answering. “How do you know I’m not there?” Was he tracking my phone?

“Because Hoel went to pick you up for lunch and you weren’t there. Your mothers didn’t have any idea of where you’d gone.” He took a deep breath before continuing. “If you had changed your mind about lunch, I wish you would at least have the courtesy to call and cancel.”

Oh shit. “I forgot.” Between arriving at home to a disheveled dad, waking to a demon in my bedroom this afternoon, and having a conversation with Cecile, I’d forgotten about my lunch date. “I’m trying to track down your package.” You big jerk was on the tip of my tongue but I held back. I looked around for someone to hand me an award for the mature act.

“You’re what? Oh…” He cleared his throat. “Thank you. Did you speak to Cecile?”

“Yes.”

His weak chuckle coated my skin like a warm hug. “Was she nice to you?”

“She didn’t call me whore this time if that’s what you mean.” I shuffled my cold feet to regain some circulation within them. “The package seems to be in New Harper for some reason. Cecile is sending you more so we have to work with what we’ve got until then.” We didn’t have much. He had me and whatever he could buy off the streets. That supply wasn’t inexhaustible.

“New Harper?” He made a frustrated noise. “Nothing we can do about it at this point. So you’re in the city? How close are you to Arnaud’s?”

“A few blocks. I’ll meet you there.” I started in the direction of Val’s favorite restaurant. They served Cajun food just like his mamas made. I glanced at Amel. “I’ve got company though.”

“Who?”

“It’s a long story and I doubt you’ll like it so I’ll explain in person.” I hung up before he could question me more. He didn’t sound happy to start with.

“This is a bad idea.” Amel strolled next to me in his t-shirt. A stray snowflake landed on his bare arm and sizzled into a puff of steam.

“Having lunch with my sweetie?” Who was grumpy with hunger. “Yeah, it is but we’re doing it anyway. I need to assess how desperate he is.” I may have to call my daddy if Val’s demonic nature had control over his body. A starved incubus could cause a lot of physical damage to our charm.
