The human let out a growl of his own and jerked open the door.
Gomez stood in the doorway, his hand raised. “Ah...Jude.” The hand dropped. “C-call for you. Some guy named Mickey.”
Mickey?Hyena-asshole Mickey?
Ben moved around Gomez and marched away.
“The guy says he’s got a tip, but only for you.”
Now wasn’t that some new shit. Mickey, offering him help on a case?

Jude went back to her, almost helplessly.
A jerk of his thumb had Zane heading out of her office, and Jude shut the door behind the demon. Then turned the lock.
Erin glanced up at the soft click.
“Got rid of the boyfriend,” he told her and stalked slowly forward. He eyed the room. Too much paperwork on her desk and the thing didn’t look sturdy enough. He could always stand but?—
Ah, that chair to the left, the one made of old leather would work fine.
“Ben’s gone back to Lillian?”
Jude didn’t want to lie. “He’s not in the game.” He’d better not be. The last thing Jude wanted to do was stumble on to the human while he was hunting.
And he’d be hunting again, very, very soon.
But first...
Erin rose and hurried toward him. “Jude, what is it? Why?—”
He caught her hand, brought her fingers to his lips, and pressed a kiss to her palm.
Her nostrils flared, and he saw the dilation of her pupils.
“Don’t have much time,” he managed, his cock digging hard into his zipper. “I had to come and see you.” Jude swallowed. Hell, he sucked at this relationship shit.
A frown pulled her brows low. “I don’t understand.”
He tugged her over to the chair, fell back, then pulled her down on top of him.
She straddled him when she came down, the skirt of her dress fluttering over his thighs.
Convenient.
A startled laugh burst from her lips. “Okay, hard to misunderstandthat.” She rubbed against his straining erection, pursing her lips. “But, seriously, I’ve got to be in court in half an hour. I can’t?—”
“I don’t want you to walk away from me.” The words fell out, hard and flat. “Not like you did with Ben, with no looking back.”
Her hands rose to push against his chest. The laughter was gone now. “Who says I never looked back?”
His fingers dug into her hips. He hadn’t expected that. “I thought you said that you and the human were finished.”
“We are.” Her chin tilted up and her hair brushed over her shoulders. “But I can still have regrets.”
Not what he wanted to hear. “A human wouldn’t be strong enough for you. He wouldn’t be able to handle things when they got...wild.” Not just talking about the shifter bastard out there.
