Ah, screw them.
He caught Erin and yanked her against his chest. He held fast when she fought him and when her head tipped back, he kissed her.
She bit him, then kissed him back. “Bastard,” she whispered against his lips.
A tremble shook her.
Or maybe it shook him. Hard to say. Her mouth widened and his tongue swept inside. This—thiswas what he needed. Her taste. Her body. His for the taking. His.
Always his.
“Uh, dude, seriously, if you two have sex, I’m outta here, fast,” Dee said, her voice gruff.
His head lifted. Sex with Erin. Always something he was up for but?—
But darkness would be falling soon and a killer waited.
“You’re really going, aren’t you?” Erin asked as her hands rose to lock around his arms.
A nod. Yes, he was going. For her. He’d stop the bastard, one way or another.
She absorbed that, then said, “Then I’m coming, too.”
“The hell you are!” No, no way, she?—
“My life, Jude.” Her hold tightened on him. “He’s been screwing withmylife all this time. I’m not sitting on the sidelines anymore, and I’m sure not letting you go in alone with this freak waiting to tear you apart.”
Her scent filled his nostrils, sending his cock surging to full, hard attention and making his heart race with a twisted mix of lust and need and fear. Lust and need—because he always wanted her, even when he’d just left death’s cold door. Fear—the fear came because he didn’t want to risk her. She could take down demons, but if the stalker shifted, she’d die. “You can’t go with me.” Giving her a straight order wouldn’t work, but logic might sway her lawyer’s mind. “Erin, he’d catch your scent long before we closed in and the bastard would run.” Then they’d be back to square fucking one.
No. The game would end tonight.
“Uh...this really isn’t police protocol,” Tony pointed out.
“The police aren’t gonna be handling this.” Jude released Erin and stepped back. He thought maybe the move would help to ease the hunger he felt. No such luck. “Night Watch has priority. The shifter is expecting me and the demon, and that’s what he’ll get.”
“Ah...not quite.” Zane cleared his throat. Jude glanced at him and saw the hunter’s green eyes fade to pure black. “He’s expecting you, and he’s going to gettwodemons. The SOB over there—and me.” His smile held a cruel edge. “You freaking shifters think you can scent everything a mile away. Well, when he smells me, all he’ll get is demon.”
An answering grin stretched Jude’s lips. Zane had always been there for him, ready to kick ass and walk right into the dark. He slanted a glance at Erin. “Between the two of us, the wolf will go down.” The other shifter wouldn’t be expecting the threat—from Zane or from him and that would be the wolf’s downfall.
Erin was one hell of a fighter. She’d more than proved that tonight. But now, it was his turn. “This is what I do,” he told her, his blood already heating. “It’s time for me to finish this hunt.”
The struggle was on her face. Fury and fear warring together. Yeah, he knew that mix well.
Jude turned to the demon who’d set him up to die. “What’s your name?”
His lips thinned.
“Ah, does he want me to beat it out of him?” Dee asked. “If I can’t go hunting with you, at least let me have some fun now.”
“Kyler,” the demon spat.
Jude grunted. “Okay, Kyler, this is how it’s gonna work. You’ll doexactlywhat I say or you’ll find out what it’s like to have a tiger rip you open.”
The black eyes didn’t blink.
“Got me?” Jude pushed.
A slow incline of Kyler’s head.
