Sage had managed to stuff every amenity that a girl could ever need into that bag, and it felt amazing to shower and change after the crazy night I’d had.

I stepped out of the bathroom, in pajamas that were too big on me and my hair still wet from the shower, to find Noah sprawled out on the couch. He’d changed into sweatpants and a white t-shirt, which made him look less “supernatural demon hunter” and more “college guy living in a dorm.”

But there was something about him—maybe his confidence—that made him seem ages more mature than the guys I’d shared classes with at school.

He stared at me, and I shifted in place, pulling at the sleeves of my top. The way he was looking at me made me feel more vulnerable than ever. Especially since I’d never spent the night at a guy’s before. I’d had a few boyfriends in high school, but nothing that had ever gotten serious.

My face heated, and I knew I had to say something before this got more awkward than it already was.

“I haven’t gotten a chance to thank you yet,” I said.

“For what?” He picked up his knife from the coffee table and threw it high in the air, catching it perfectly with his other hand.

Forget what I’d thought earlier about him looking like he could pass as a college student. I didn’t know any college guy who would do that.

“For saving my life in that alley,” I said. “If you hadn’t been there…” I didn’t continue, since we both knew what would have happened if he hadn’t been there.

I would have been taken, just like my mom.

“I’m no one’s savior,” he said. “I was just bagging my next demon tooth for my collection, and you happened to have benefited in the process.”

Then he threw the knife, sending it whizzing a foot away from my face and into the center of the dartboard behind me.

“What the hell?” I jumped to the side, glaring at him. “You could have killed me!”

“You don’t trust my aim?” He raised an eyebrow and stretched out on the couch, his shirt lifting to give me a peek of his perfectly defined abs. “Would you mind getting that for me?”

“Seriously?” I crossed my arms, waiting to see if he actually expected me to fetch his knife for him—the knife he’d used to scare me half to death.

He made no effort to move, which I guess meant he did.

I glanced from him to the knife and back again, and made a decision. I’d fetch his stupid knife, but I’d only hand it back once he answered one of my questions.

I stomped over for the knife and reached for it. But it burned my fingertips the moment they grazed the handle, and I shrieked, pulling my hand away.

“What?” The corner of Noah’s lip quirked up in amusement. “Never touched a knife before?”

“That’s not just any knife!” I examined the pads of my fingers. They were red, but it wasn’t too bad. If I hadn’t pulled away so quickly, it would have been much worse.
