Radric smirks and leans in to me, pulling me up against him so tight that I can’t get away. The Sheriff lifts a dark brow and eyes us both cynically.
“You know, shifters don’t usually care about nudity but I’m gonna say that I’d really appreciate it if you put some clothes on.”
My cheeks flush and Radric grins, wide and wicked. His fingers caress my shoulder lightly, teasingly. “I kinda like the way I’m dressed right now. And she must like it too. I don’t hear her complaining.
I know my face must be fire-engine red at this point and I huff out an exasperated breath.
“How bout we all stop measuring our dicks, you put some clothes on, Radric and you tell us what you’re looking for here, Sheriff. Come on in.”
He steps through the doorway, wary and controlled.
“I’m looking for your weird guy. I’ve been running around through here and actually ran across a strange trail pretty close to here. It wasn’t you two. I could clearly see yours but this one kinda seemed like it was tailing you.”
Radric hisses and I see that predatory, malevolent look in his dark eyes and I know he’s planning what he’s going to do with this guy if he gets his hands on him.
I sincerely hope that he never gets his hands on them and if he does, I really hope that I’m not around to hear it. He looks like he could easily tear someone limb from limb.
I don’t want to see that even if I understand the reasoning. Some things are just meant to be a mystery.
Especially if I ever want to be able to sleep at night again.
CHAPTER5
Radric
Ieye the big Sheriff suspiciously. He’s obviously a shifter. It’s also quite obvious that he’s had dealings with my kind and he doesn’t like us.
While Artemis is out of the room getting a drink for all of us from the meager possessions that I managed to scrounge up and the Sheriff gave us, I nod at her.
“She knows what I am so you can stop looking at me like I’m fixing to drag her down to hell with me.”
“Aren’t you?”he asked coldly.
“Yeah. But not against her will. She’s my mate.”
His brown eyes widen. “Does she know that too?”
“She does.”
He chuckles. “I don’t envy you because there’s a lot to be said for being honest but telling your girl that you’re a demon and she’s your mate has to be a challenge.”
I growl. “No worse than telling her that she’s mated to a mangy wolf.”
A look of hellish glee lights up his eyes. “As opposed to a demon from Hell? Yeah, I think I’ve got the better line, man.”
His face sharpens. “By the way, the people around here aren’t necessarily friendly to demons and denizens of Hell. We’ve had some issues with one of our citizens. She’s been up against some characters from your home.”
“Everything that goes on in my house is not part of my life. I don’t know it all and believe me, I’m not interested in her. I’m not interested in anything but my mate and this thing that might be tracking her. Because if it is…I’m gonna drag it to Hell myself. You don’t fuck with what’s mine unless you want to pay the price.”
“Steep price.”
“Yes, it is. And I have no problem exacting it.” I smirk evilly. “It’s my thing.”
Artemis walks back in the room and I snarl under my breath when the Sheriff eyes her appreciatively. I don’t like it. And it’s plain to me that he’s not mated.
“Eyes on me, Sheriff. Not my mate.”
He gives me a playful smirk. “Can’t blame a guy for looking.”
