Her words are cut off as I end the call and drop my phone onto my lap.
Levi watches me with no small amount of amusement, his posture deceptively casual, his smirk on in full force.
“You’re talking about me to your friends, I see,” he teases.
“What can I say? You’re a pretty intriguing guy.” As I speak, I reach for the silver blade I always keep in a secret sheath on my arm whenever I go into public.
I’m just grateful I remembered to put it on when I changed out of my red dress into sweats.
I don’t know what good the blade will do against Levi if he’s a demon, but it’s the best I have. I refuse to go down without a fight.
“I have a feeling there’s something you want to ask me, Lily Dean.” His trademark smirk remains in place, even as he takes a single step closer.
I can’t help but inhale his unique apricot and vanilla scent. I was always told demons smelled like sulfur—rotten eggs—but Levi’s scent is…decadent. Mouthwatering. Addictive.
“No questions.” I flash him a smile as I inconspicuously glance in both directions, ensuring we’re still alone.
A hotel this old doesn’t have a lot of video cameras, hence why we struggled to get coverage of the dead couple. The few that the hotel does have are nowhere in sight.
Good.
If I need to stab a sexy British man, the last thing I want is to get captured on camera and then arrested.
“I know what you’re thinking,” Levi continues, rocking back on his heels. “And what you’re thinking is wrong.”
“Is it?” I cock an eyebrow at him. “You know what I’m thinking? You have clairvoyance as well as an annoying kink for murdering moderately happy couples?”
I move quickly, swinging the dagger at his face. He captures my wrist before it can connect with his skin and twists it just enough to cause me to lose the blade. It clatters on the floor with an audible ding.
I gasp, but the pain I expected never comes, despite the fact I know Levi could break my wrist if he so desired to. His strength is otherworldly.
Monsterly.
Demonic.
Fuck.
I lift my knee up and hit Levi between his legs, causing him to both release me and keel forward at the same time. I stealthily spin out of the way and dive for the dagger, but he grabs the waistband of my pants before I can take more than a few steps.
His voice is a harsh pant as he drags me against the solid planes of his chest. “Tsk, tsk, princess. That’s. Not. Nice.”
His hot breath wafts against my ear, and God help me, goose bumps ripple up and down my arms. I don’t know if they’re from fear…or lust.
I throw my head back and grin when I hear the satisfying crunch of my skull connecting with his nose. Still, he doesn't release me, even as he curses loudly.
“Lily, stop it.”
“Let me go.” I struggle in his embrace, but he merely tightens his arms around me.
“If you keep wiggling like that…” Levi allows his threat to dangle in the air like a guillotine blade, and it’s only then I become aware of the hard bulge pressing against my ass cheeks.
I freeze, every muscle in my body locking together, and Levi chuckles darkly.
“Good girl.”
He spins me around to face him but still keeps his hands on my waist. To anyone looking, they’ll see two lovers in a passionate embrace.
Not a monster and the hunter who wants to kill him.
