Chapter Fourteen

The gossamer yellow curtains in my bedroom wisped up and down with the early morning breeze when I awoke. The air felt cool against my skin, still sensitive from last night. We’d made love a few more times, Ewan coaxing me back from sleep with the fire of his touch and kisses. He now snoozed beside me on the bed, his large expanse of back exposed to my stare. My nerve endings jangled at the memory of his touch on my body—inside my body.

I pulled the cotton sheets over me. My movement must have woken him, because he turned, spooned me against him, then kissed and sucked my neck. The jangling nerves didn’t compare to the electricity running from my neck to my inner thighs. His voice was low as he said, “I’ve wanted to kiss you like this since the first time we met.”

“You mean the party?”

I recalled that meeting. Cora’s best friend Lily, a demon and non-profit fundraiser, had hosted a party to raise money for a local shelter that helped domestic violence victims. I hadn’t been too keen on going, but I also didn’t want my whole “avoiding the supernatural” thing to interfere with supporting family and friends and good causes.

I smiled, picturing Cora’s hand on my arm, leading me to the bar where Ewan stood, pouring himself a drink. Even then, I was struck by his presence. When he’s in a room, nothing else seems to have shape or substance. I’d known he was a supe, and my defenses had immediately set up a perimeter.

“When did you first meet my grandmother?” I asked.

“At a Halloween party.”

I laughed and rolled on the bed, dragging the sheets with me.

“What?” he asked, his tone a mix of amusement and curiosity.

“She wrote in the journal Malthus gave me that she had met the perfect demon for me at a Halloween party.”

“Your grandmother was a smart woman.” He lifted his upper body and propped an arm on the bed. “I have to admit that at the fundraiser I enjoyed the many ways you blew me off. It was like trying to catch a hummingbird, flitting off nervously, wings buzzing every time I approached.”

His fingers worked their way up my thighs, making it hard for me to focus on our conversation. “I saw your distrust for supes, for me, every time you squinted at me and perched your hands on your hips. I figured our paths would intersect again, and you’d realize your mistake in blowing me off . . . and of course you wouldn’t be able to resist my body.”

I sat up and whacked him across the head with my pillow. “What if that intersection had never happened?”

He threw the pillow on the floor and moved his body over mine, forcing me back down on the bed. “I would have made something up. A poor kitty stuck in a tree, needing the powerful necromancer to help her.”

I laughed. “How would my power help the kitty get out of the tree?”

He shrugged.
