Chapter Eleven

Zoey checked her messages while Stryke dug through the records Lee’s parents kept in the house. The office was as out of date as the rest of the house, with cornflower-blue-plaid curtains and faded, threadbare carpet. The smell of death didn’t cling to this room as much as the rest of the house. She’d worried Stryke would lose it again coming back here, but he maintained the calm focus that seemed to be his default. It’d been his idea to come here in the first place. Since Lee’s family had seemed to avoid him, it made sense that they had a lake cabin or property close by.

Darkness knows, they hadn’t spent their money on their son.

Zoey had found Lee’s phone, but there were no missed calls. She checked the call history. “Mom and Dad” only showed up once in the last two months and it was all of a thirty-second call.

Before Zoey had totally demolished her family ties, she’d kept in touch regularly. When Zoey ran across her mother in her work, they were civil to each other. Zoey suspected that she’d been granted some leeway after losing Mitchell. Not in her right mind and all that.

What would they think now—but Zoey didn’t care what they thought, and hadn’t since they’d presented her with her first starched dress.

She raised her eyes to where Stryke tapped at an old desktop computer, looking like an extremely attractive thug businessman. He wore a black, long-sleeved turtleneck and black cargo pants, his wavy brown hair slicked off his face and hiding those horns. Her belly rippled. It’s not that the horns turned her on. They reminded her that Stryke wasn’t an ordinary male, and that turned her on.

Was he what it took to get her out of her funk from the loss of her mate? Her walk on the wild and irresponsible side? She couldn’t deny that his single-minded attraction to her was an aphrodisiac. She hadn’t experienced that in a long time.

Or ever, if she were to be honest. Mitchell had loved her, cared deeply for her well-being. He’d just been more “them” minded.

If Zoey announced she wanted to feast on a Chicago-style pizza and dance all night long, she suspected Stryke would drop whatever he was doing and use his energy transit system, or whatever it was called, to haul her ass to Chicago and steal the closest radio.

Turning away to rummage through the file cabinet, she hid her self-disgust from both him and herself. She’d prided herself on her independence since she was birthed. No good came from that level of devotion from a male.

“Here’s something.”

Her insides warmed at his voice, desire flooding her sex. The previous day should’ve worn her out, chafed her nethers, but leave it to Stryke to take care of that, too, always ensuring she was wet and ready. They’d fucked in so many positions, the variety kept her body on a fine edge of readiness for him.

She sifted through the papers in the cabinet, afraid that if she turned around, she’d walk right into his lap and ride him fully clothed.
