Chapter Ten

The night could not be any darker. Only the streetlights and my headlights provided any glow. I turned a corner, and then glanced at Kale. He sat with arms crossed, staring out the window—at what, I had no idea. The rain hadn’t returned and all the houses in the area had their lights off. I doubted he saw much, meaning he did it to avoid me.

Even after we dropped Henry off at the junkyard, his silence and the clench of his jaw declared his tight mood, matching my own. I heaved another sigh and focused back on the road. Hell, this bothered me too, even if I had no idea as to the why behind it. If he cared as he clearly showed, and I believed firmly now he did, why was he still being so evasive by never answering my questions and simply dodging them?

“What are you thinking?”

His voice startled me, because I thought we were playing the silent treatment. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye. “Pardon?”

“Your thoughts.” He turned to me in his seat, his voice became gentle. “Tell me what has your mind so busy.”

I took my foot off the gas pedal as the cemetery gates came into view. “Oh, this and that.”

“Why don’t you tell me the this first?” He pointed toward the side of the entryway. “Park there and we’ll walk in.”

I pulled the SUV over onto the grass by the wrought iron fence, cut the ignition, and looked at him. “Isn’t it obvious what I’m thinking?”

He shook his head. “Not to me.”

So many thoughts raced through my mind, it became almost impossible to pinpoint a single issue, but the one I’d share with him stood out among the most important. “A Prince of Hell is being summoned.”

“Do you not trust in my abilities?” He grinned, brightening his features, even if his eyes challenged. “You aren’t in any danger. I’ll protect you.”

Oh, I beg to differ.

I had landed myself in serious danger, of what I still had no idea. While I thought he could protect me, I didn’t have the confidence right now that it made me any safer. “You’ve proved you can kick some serious ass, and that I trust.”

His brow creased, eyes became pained. “Is that all you can trust?”

“Now we are on to the that.” With the thick air surrounding me, I needed to get out of the SUV for more reasons than the mission ahead. After I exited, I slammed my door behind me in hopes we’d leave this conversation behind to never be repeated again.

Kale stopped at the hood, staring with a fierce intent, and damn, did he look sexy now. “Explain.”

“Simple: I don’t trust much else about you.”

It seemed I surprised him since his eyes widened and his voice dropped low as if I insulted him. “You do think I’m involved in this?”

“I’m not sure what to think,” I told him, watching as he leaned a hip against the hood, the tension rolling off him in waves.
