WIND RUFFLED STRIDER’S HAIR as he reached out and grabbed Kaia by the waist.

He was fast, but not fast enough, and by the time he had the woman anchored over his shoulder

fireman-style, both of Haidee’s cheeks were claw-slashed and bleeding.

Haidee appeared too shocked to react, much less defend herself. Which wasn’t like her.

No one had self-protective instincts like Haidee. Either she was slipping or being without Hate

had slowed her down.

“You do not touch him. You do not speak to him. Ever!” Kaia snarled in a voice layered

with another being’s screams, her own fury, and plumes of darkness.

“Damn it, Kaia.” Strider smacked her ass. She didn’t notice. She tried to twist around and

accidentally kneed him in the stomach. Hard. Air gushed from his mouth, and he hunched over,

almost losing her. He readjusted his grip, one hand on the back of her legs, the other on the small

of her back. And damn, she was hot! Literally. Heat seeped from her, burning him.

Win?

And, there was his demon, making another appearance. Freaking great. At least the

bastard wasn’t quite sure how to proceed with the Harpy. I’ve got her, don’t I? What more do you

want?

“Kaia,” Strider said. “If you don’t settle down, you’re going to hurt me.”

To his surprise, that worked, penetrating the fog of her fury. In a blink, she settled,

remaining draped over him, her palms pressed into his back, her heated breaths wafting over his

shirt and slithering past the material, caressing him with molten deliciousness.

Hello again, Stridey-Monster. Thank gods the fall of her legs hid the evidence of his

arousal.

Won. Defeat sighed with pleasure and that pleasure shot through him, increasing his

enjoyment. An enjoyment far stronger than anything he’d experienced with Haidee.

There were several humans in the bar, watching them. He smiled sheepishly. “Women.”

They nodded in understanding.

A frowning Amun rushed to Haidee’s side. Haidee said, “It’s nothing, baby. I swear.”

Still, he cupped her cheeks and the frown became a scowl. A scowl he leveled at Strider.

As the keeper of Secrets, Amun could read the thoughts of everyone around him. So

Strider opened up his mind and allowed his friend inside. Don’t even think about getting back at

her. This could have been a lot worse and you know it. Kaia merely scratched her up, nothing

more.

You protect what’s yours and I protect what’s mine, Amun signed angrily.

Kaia. His. He didn’t want to analyze the thrill of delight that joined the pleasure. And he

didn’t need to. She was his. Just for a little while—another reminder.

Haidee wrapped her fingers around her man’s forearm, leaving a smear of blood on his

mocha-colored skin. “It’s fine. I’m fine.”

Kaia traced something on Strider’s back, distracting him. A heart, he thought, wanting to

smile.

Amun’s hands began another furious bout of signing directed at him. You think this is

funny?

“Yeah. I do. If you’ll excuse us, we have a little business to attend to.” Strider carted Kaia

to the dance floor.

Sabin had yet to arrive, which meant there was no reason to resist. With a shrug of his

shoulders, he bounced Kaia up and slid her forward. Her body pressed against his as it descended.
