He smiles, his eyes dancing with the thrill of a chase.
"Well, let's make them your thing. I'm Craig."
"She's taken," Deke says while popping up out of nowhere, standing close to me in a protective sort of manner.
"Yo, man. I though you were with Sierra. That babe single now?"
What a jerk.
Deke's eyes narrow, and then he lets out a derisive scoff. "Even if she was, you wouldn't be able to handle her. Sierra's still mine. This is Kane's girl. You really want to keep playing with fire?"
The guy's eyes widen, as if he's sobering a little, and then he stumbles backwards.
"No. Sorry. Tell him I didn't know."
Without another word, he disappears from sight, leaving his balls behind apparently. I've never seen anyone so quick to bow out.
"Where's Kane?" I ask, having to yell over the music.
"He's out looking for you. I just sent him a text to tell him you're here. He's heading back now."
Looking for me?
"Why did he go looking for me?"
"Because there was another attack in town. We got a call a few minutes after you left. Two girls were found dead in their homes, and it wasn't pretty. He went to track you down and bring you home until daylight. But you're an expert at vanishing into thin air. Where'd you go?"
Crap.
"I just walked around mostly. There's a spot at the edge of town I like to go. When will he be back?"
Before he can answer, strong arms are wrapped around me and pulling me into a glorious embrace. I breathe him in, enjoying his smell like he was made for me. Those incredible lips find my neck and trail across my hidden wound as he kisses me through the fabric.
I stifle a wince when he presses too firmly against the still tender bite left behind. Though it can't be seen, it can sure as hell be felt.
I turn around, and he draws me in closer just before his perfect lips find mine. I smile behind the kiss that is far too passionate to be displayed in front of so many.
"No more late night romps through the town, please. My heart still isn't steady," he murmurs against my lips.
I smile bigger as I lean into him.
"I take it you were worried?"
"Very. I've called your phone at least a dozen times. Did you lose it?"
Oh shit.
I left my phone at Gage's before we even left to go set the trap that went terribly awry. I completely forgot it.
"I'm sure it'll turn up. I'm sorry you were worried, but I'm a big girl. I managed."
By the skin of my teeth, that is.
"I heard about those girls they found in town, and it scared the hell out of me. I left shortly after you did, but we couldn't track you down. Since then, I've been worried sick. I sound like a total control freak right now, don't I?"
I smile involuntarily to the point it almost aches. Giggling like a fool, I shake my head. The noisy room makes it hard for us to hear each other, but I can tell he likes the fact I'm more turned on than freaked out.
