Levi Keller was going to be the death of him. Joe was sure of it. Maybe it was the hit on the head or perhaps the residual alcohol fumes folded into the ice cream, but there was no arguing the pub owner was hitting all of Joe’s buttons, including a few he didn’t even know he had.

Barefoot and dressed in low-slung old jeans and a ratty T-shirt, the man shouldn’t have been sexy, but there was something about his boneless sprawl into the corner of the sectional couch that made Joe grateful for the cooling hit of potent ice cream lingering in his mouth. The stretch of his muscles along his long arms and thighs was bad enough, but the sneak peeks of Levi’s lean stomach, with its faint whorl of soft hair below the dip of his belly button, were killing Joe.

His insouciant grace when tilting his head back to drink a sip of water led Joe to naughty places, wondering how the rasp of Levi’s tongue against the inside of his thighs would feel in the middle of the night or if that long lean throat would reverberate when he gasped during sex. Shaking his head, Joe cursed his grandmother for leaving him and wondered if he could still find a ride home, not trusting his hands on the steering wheel when he was obviously rattled.

“Gotta admit, you’re my first human to deal with finding out about all of us.” Levi licked at a drop of water on his lower lip, the liquid trembling until his tongue swept it away. “There’s conflicting ways to handle something like being seen, but a lot of them are kind of old-school.”

“Like what?” Joe shifted on the couch, stretching out his legs. His head was beginning to hurt again, a softer throb instead of the pounding through-the-bone spikes from before, but it was manageable.

“Well, a lot of older instructions pretty much said kill the human and bury its body, but that was back when torches and pitchforks were all the rage,” Levi said with a smile that was probably meant to soothe Joe’s nerves but did more to rattle them, especially when a deep dimple appeared alongside the smirk. “I’m leaning toward the option of ‘no one would believe you anyway and your grandmother would kick your ass if you said anything.’ A hell of a lot easier than starting a whisper campaign that you’re nuts. That was a big one too, but once it got out of hand in Salem, I think a lot of us Peacekeepers try to avoid it.”

“Nana said that. Peacekeeper.” Joe sifted through what he recalled his grandmother said before she left. “I’m going to guess you’re some kind of cop.”

“Sort of,” he murmured in agreement. “No gun, and it’s kind of a loose association. Not like we have an academy. Usually it’s the owner of a business or area where people like me and Toni can meet to hammer things out. Believe it or not, you don’t want a war between shifter families or covens rolling out into the street.
