Dex peeked into the hangar. Empty except for the helicopter. He frowned at the faint scent of sulfur but didn’t linger. Backing out, he drew the door closed again. He didn’t know where Frost was. She’d not returned to the cabin and it was nearing midnight.

He checked the training rooms—nothing. When he got to the pool he spied a light on at the far end of the room. Striding through, he slowed as he discovered her. Submerged in the hot tub, she rested her head on a folded towel and had her eyes closed.

“There you are,” he said.

She opened her eyes, rolled her head on the towel, and met his gaze. “Hi.”

He crouched beside her and kissed her. “What are you doing?”

“Soaking.”

“Do you know what time it is?”

“Nope and I don’t care either.” She closed her eyes once more. “I’m relaxing.”

He angled her chin better and scowled. “What the fuck happened to your face?”

“Demon.”

It took him a moment. He blinked and waited. She didn’t say another word. He cleared his throat.

“Demon?”

“Uh huh.”

“Frost, would you look at me.”

She did and he saw faint markings around her eyes. “What?”

“You’re just lying there talking about how you fought with a demon.”

“Technically, I’m sitting, but yes.” A siren’s smile lifted her lips. “You could come in and join me. There’s enough room for both of us.”

Despite his anger at her nonchalance of the demon, his body reacted to her offer. Once he’d whipped his shirt off over his head, he went to work on his boots. Soon, his clothing landed beside her robe and he was making his way into the heated water.

It felt amazing—the heat totally worked through him, relieving his tension. She sat up and pushed across the area to where he was, straddling him. Her hair covered part of her face and he moved it back as she lifted her shoulders out of the water.

“I suppose these wounds are from that demon as well?”

“Yes. Don’t worry, I’ll be healed in a day. Until then, it’s a dull pain. My sign has been mending me.”

He touched the string holding up her bikini, trailing it below the water line to her breast. She shook her head and backed away.

“I’m waiting for an explanation on where you fought this thing and how it happened.” He kept on his side although he longed to have her back on his lap and in his arms.

“Really?” She closed her eyes again. “You didn’t say.”

“I just did.” He thought she would put him off again.

“I confronted Mason.”

Mason had been the saboteur. Anger slammed into him with the knowledge. “I’ll kill him,” he growled.

“That won’t be an issue.”

“Frost?” He nudged her with his foot. “What are you talking about?”

“He’s dead.”

“You killed him?” Damn it, why is she lying there with her eyes closed as if this is a small matter?

“No, not me. One of the demons cut off his head.” She lowered herself in the water again until it reached her chin. “Full disclosure though… I would have if one of them hadn’t.
