Chapter Fifteen

Maverick

If there’s one thing I hate about my brother Cain…well in truth there are plenty of things but one to focus on now, it’s that when he wants you locked up, he does a fucking fine job of it. Back in Hell, he’d do Father’s dirty work and sometimes that involved securing one of us sin demons until Lucifer was ready to deal with us. Cain would use anything he found around, be it vines or a curse. Whatever got the job done, right?

I grab the handle to the basement door and tug. It opens a sliver only. “Oh, fuck you!” I wrench on the thing, but it’s like trying to haul a wagon of fat-ass hellhounds. I glance out into the hallway through the thin gap and find a line of salt and earth running along the floor, and it’s clear it’s the spell keeping me locked down here. “Fucking ass.” Of course Cain would make it impossible for me to break out this time. Crouching down, I take a deep inhale and blow a long breath, hoping to dislodge the salt and soil.

Nothing.

No chance of breaking the line from my distance.

Shit!

The huge cat in the house comes to mind and how he could scuff the dirt to release me. I have no idea if he’ll come like a dog, but I’m not beyond trying anything right now.

I give a low whistle. “Here, kitty kitty. Got a treat for you.” Okay, that sounds creepy, but I don’t stop.

After fifteen minutes of calling, the familiar click-clacking sound of nails hit the floors. Around the corner, the lynx appears, and it approaches, sniffing.

“That’s right, come closer, kitty.” I make small kissy sounds, as I hear cats seem to respond well to them.

Sniffing the line of salt and soil, the cat stops, not far from the door, then lifts its head at me. “Now come closer,” I say with the sweetest voice I can find. “Drag those huge fluffy paws over the line.”

Instead, the thing looks at me as if understanding what I’m up to. And as quickly as he came, he turns and pads his way out of here.

“Wait, no, come back, you stupid cat!” I growl under my breath, and it vanishes around the corner. “Fine,” I yell out. “Go choke on a furball.”

Huffing, I turn back to the basement and resume my pacing.

The thing is, I didn’t leave one prison in Hell to come to another on Earth.

I drop onto the couch and groan. Apparently, helping my brother equates to locking me back up like a dog. Even that furball gets treated better than me.

Of course, sitting around doing nothing has my thoughts drifting to Aria. She’s constantly on my mind, and I can picture her standing in front of me. Five-foot-five, long black hair, pouty tempting lips, and huge vulnerable eyes that scream ‘I need saving.’ She may not know it, but that look drives men nuts, and just like my brother and those two idiots who follow him around, it’s close to impossible to resist such a beauty.
