Grade A Something

“Darling, I’m so glad to hear you resolved that pesky little issue you were having,” Julian’s happy voice fills the phone. “And the cousins are having a proper cat fight over that old apartment of yours. I think I’ll be able to raise the rent by a couple hundred.”

“You could have given me a little heads up.” I pull another pillow over my body, wiggling to ensconce myself beneath the pile. It doesn’t feel the same as my old home. The bed faces the wrong way, the large room giving sounds a different echo.

“I knew you could figure it out on your own.” A creak sounds, and I picture Julian kicking his feet up in his office at HelloHell Delivery. “You’re resilient when backed into a corner.”

“Speaking of corners, how’d you do against cousin Cassandra?” I tuck a pillow against my stomach, the blue feathers stabbing me through the tank top I pulled on earlier. I hadn’t found my favorite pillow with the purple sequins. This one doesn’t fit quite right, the size a little too small, the stuffing too flat.

“Oh, were you worried for me?” Humor fills his tone.

I actually was, which is the main reason I called. I knew he would have already heard about the claim against me being reversed. Julian’s delivery demons bring him all the best gossip. “Did she eat your mischief imp?”

“Only a small nibble. Poor thing will recover.” He sounds nonchalant, but a hint of weariness underscores his words.

Of all of my kind, Cousin Cassandra scares me the most. She’s one of the oldest of our kind, filled with energies gathered over almost a century of life. Everyone is open game, even her own kind. And not in the distracted, lazy way that my mentor, Landon, skims my energy. Cassandra is an active, frequently malicious, devourer.

My voice drops to a whisper. “And you?”

He stays quiet long enough that I think he won’t answer, but then his gruff voice mumbles, “I’ll be fine, darling.”

“I’m sorry if I was the reason she came to visit.” I curl tighter around the too small pillow, the pointy feathers little stabs of recrimination.

“Hush. She would have stopped by anyway. You were just an added treat.” He clears his throat. “Speaking of treats, I heard you’re now living with some grade A energy.”

“They’re grade A something,” I grumble and wiggle until my back presses against the headboard.

His voice brightens. “Oh, trouble in paradise already?”

I snort, still annoyed by my exchange with Tobias. “We’re still feeling each other out.”

“Oh, that sounds delicious. Tell me more.”

I huff in exasperation. “Not like that.”

“No, of course not.” Julian sounds equally exasperated. “I blame Landon for your failings as a succubus. He was far too young and lazy to raise you right.”

My wings shiver against my spine, instantly defensive. “He did his best.”

“You’re sweet, darling, but no he didn’t.” The creak comes again, followed by a thump. “I’m going to the club tonight. Should I pop by your new place to pick you up?”

“You’re not getting an invitation to come investigate that easily.
