“What is it?” I asked, roused from my light sleep by Daniel’s movement.

He was up on one elbow, his eyes looking toward the door. “It’s Dev. He’s been out there for half an hour, Z. Why doesn’t he come in? It isn’t like him. He knows we’re naked. He should be clawing his way in.”

“Stewart got to him.” I knew exactly what the problem was. I shoved Daniel’s T-shirt over my head and opened the door.

Dev sat on the floor opposite our borrowed room. There was a tiredness to the set of his shoulders. A general air of the forlorn hung on him, his hair drooping and his clothes dusty. He had a bottle of whiskey in one hand. Only my faery prince could find a bottle on this isolated island.

“Is it helping?” I crossed my arms over my chest and cursed Stewart’s existence. The afternoon should have been relaxed. So many of our problems had been solved, but the damn demon had to bring up all of Dev’s insecurities.

“Nope,” he replied, taking a swig anyway.

“Are you coming to bed? We only have a few hours before dusk.”

Dev just stared up at me. “I am not a good man, Zoey.”

I sighed. He was going to play the drama out to its fullest. “And yet I still love you.”

Daniel walked up behind me wearing only his boxers. “Get in bed, man. You have got to stop letting that prick get to you. I’m not going to dump your ass if we manage to find Summer. I would expect you to accept her, Dev.”

Dev looked up, his face very serious. “I already accept her, Daniel. I’ve been very intent on finding the information we need. I would love her as my own daughter.”

“I know that,” I said and then I got to the heart of the problem. “Now stop thinking Daniel is anything like Declan. He isn’t. He knows every shitty thing you’ve done, probably so much more than I do, and he hasn’t used any of it against you.” I turned to husband number one. “And yes, I know all about the brothel.”

“Shit,” Danny cursed.

“He could have brought up any of that stuff the Order knew to try to wrestle me away from you,” I explained flatly. “There are probably things he knows that would have worked, but he didn’t try to fight you. He became your freaking partner in crime and tried to hide the fact that the two of you want to become the Hugh Hefners of the supernatural world. He’s committed to this family and that means something to Daniel. He won’t toss you out. He loves you. He wants you. He’ll accept you for all your lying, illegal arms dealing, gambling, pornographic, and pimping ways.”

“I am not a pimp.” Dev refuted only that statement. “I’m an investor.”

“Fine.” I gave him that much. “Then get your gangster ass into our bed. If we can all fit.”

Dev got up, leaving the bottle behind. “Are you sure? You didn’t seem to be in a sharing mood earlier.
