Iwas winded, and I couldn’t believe I was saying that. But I was. A DJ came in, and we’d been dancing for the last three hours straight. I had sweat sliding down my back, and had no idea how my hair was looking. And when I said we were dancing, I meant Kennedy, myself, and She Shay. Also, She Shay was awesome at dancing. She could twerk way better than me and Kennedy. I was blaming her magic powers for that because if I’d had to choose any magic powers, twerking would be it. Or flying.
Probably twerking, but I needed a break.
Heading back to the table, I saw only Kellan sitting there. He had a whole steely gaze going on, and he switched from watching his woman shaking it to watching me coming toward him. When I got there, I sat on the chair across from him and looked around.
“Your man is trying to pay the bill. The male Shay went to piss.”
Male Shay. I liked He Shay better. Or Our Shay. I wiped at some sweat on my forehead. “Oh. Cool.”
He’d gone back to watching his Shay, but his gaze flitted to me once again. “Cool? That’s what you human folk say nowadays?”
I considered it and shrugged. “Pretty sure it’s supposed to be ‘lit’ now. I’m showing my age. I think ‘awesome’ shows it more.”
“Words are so fickle. They have power that humans don’t respect.”
I frowned. “I respect my words. I don’t say anything that’ll hurt someone unless it’s the truth and it’s supposed to help in the long run. I have a feeling you don’t have the same regards.”
“I’m a demon. What are you not getting about that?”
I shrugged, relaxing more into my seat. “A demon lost over his angel. Love kinda screwed you.”
His eyes sharpened. “Excuse me?”
“I mean, look at you. All brooding and badass. Your whole aura is like ‘don’t mess with me or I’ll squash you with a thought.’”
He leaned forward, a dangerous smile starting to form. “Icansquash you with a thought. Don’t tempt me, Human.”
Okay. Now I was getting irritated. The back of my neck was heated up and angry. “Stop calling me that name.”
He frowned, a flicker. “You are a human.”
“Do you want me to refer to you as Demon? Yes, Demon. No, Demon. Whatever you say, Demon. I’d think it would get annoying.”
That evil grin was back. “I prefer it. Thank you.”
I flushed. “My name is Summer. Yours is Kellan.”
There was a twitch in his gaze, and I swear that it was amusement. He was enjoying this conversation. I narrowed my eyes, sitting back, giving him a longer studying look. “You know what I think?”
“I have a feeling I won’t have to wait long to find out.”
“I think you’re so in love with Shay, and she’s having so much fun, that not only are you doing this to appease her,you’realso kinda having fun too. I’m right. Aren’t I?”
A flicker of annoyance blazed from him briefly. “I want to kill most humans. I only half want to murder you. Satisfied?”
I was. Immensely.
I beamed back at him. “I have that effect on people. I grow on them like weird seaweed.” A different thought came to me. “Do you see spirit animals?”
A bored expression was starting to settle over him before my last question. He frowned again. “What?”
“Spirit animals. Do you see them? I’ve always thought I have a bee as mine. Do I? Can you confirm that?”
He looked around me before shaking his head. “Why do you think you have a bee?”
I was so right. “I do, don’t I? You can just confirm it and we’ll move in. Promise.”
He sighed. “You have an entire hive around you.”
