Dex swung the door open, his fists clenched. His rage subsided when he saw her sitting cross-legged on the edge of Carl’s desk. Carl was sitting back in his chair, alive and looking oddly comfortable.

Anya turned to him and smiled. His chest loosened at the desire and joy that spread over her face.

“What are you doing in here?”

Carl waved his hand in the air. “Relax, Dex. She’s not here to kill me, right?” Carl eyed her nervously.

Anya stood from the desk, admiring Dex’s dark possessive eyes debating whether or not he wanted to hug or slug her.

“It’s good to see you, Dex.”

His thoughts were bouncing around in his head like plastic marbles in a child’s ball pit. He wasn’t sure how to react so he waited for an explanation.

“I’d like to say it’s good to see you too, but I’m not yet sure that’s the truth.”

She smiled at his comment, clearly entertained by it.

“I’m here to get to know your boss better, to find out if he has any relatives. Did you know he has a younger half brother named Chris?”

Dex looked at Carl, hoping for an explanation. Carl watched Anya carefully, more concerned with her actions than Dex’s.

“Remember how I told you I wanted to live a normal life and stop taking orders from the Arcane Society?”

Dex nodded, not understanding where this conversation was leading. “Yes.”

“I meant it. I received an order to kill Carl’s brother. Instead I came here to learn why the Arcane Society might want to kill him. I learned that it’s not Chris they want. It’s Carl. It’s this whole club. It’s full of demons. Carl refused to shut down, so the Arcane Society decided to take out his brother as a show of what can happen when you don’t follow their orders. I have no intention of killing Carl or Chris. I came here for answers and now that I got them, I’ll see myself out.”

Irritation tightened his chest. “Anya, you can’t keep waltzing in here whenever you please. You may not be taking orders from the Arcane Society anymore, but that doesn’t mean we can trust you.”

Anya studied his dark untrusting eyes, tight jaw and sexy, serious expression. Was he speaking on behalf of his co-workers or just himself?

“You’re right. You can’t trust me. I have to earn that. But I believe not killing Chris, Carl and you is a pretty damn good start.”

She walked past him, eyeing him with those mixed-colored eyes of hers. He smelled her desire and his brain and emotions lost any grip they had on anger.
