He steps back, smirking. “Nope. Let’s finish this run. You need your strength.” He winks before taking off past me, kicking up dirt in his wake.
I sprint after him, and when I finally catch up, we run side by side in silence, each pushing the other to run harder. It’s great motivation having a warrior angel train with you. It’s also a personal penance. Watching his muscles flex is torture, which only spurs me to pump my arms faster. The lure to join Zeke back in my bed is overwhelming.
Despite having Zeke here, I still can’t quite shake my unease. Something niggles at the back of my conscience. The hairs on my neck are still upright, and that makes no sense. I have acute demon radar and it’s never off, but it’s daylight and impossible. They’ve never wandered this far out of the city either. Too many signs point to a misfire on my sensor.
Still, I have an intense feeling I’m being watched. Someone other than Zeke is here.
“Did someone follow you?” I ask, turning my head toward Zeke.
He frowns. “No. I’m alone.” He slows to a stop, turning toward me. “What’s this about, Tori?”
“Someone’s here. I can feel them.”
