Kit smirked at him, and Cole’s eyes narrowed.
“Cole!” Stephanie shrieked and attacked him, smacking his chest hard with her little fists. “What were you thinking of? You’re not a fighter!”
CeeCee stepped back, looking bemused as Stephanie continued to berate him.
“Would you have left him?” Cole asked pointedly, tilting his head towards Kit.
“No,” Stephanie replied.
“Then you know why I wouldn’t leave Cecilia,” Cole retorted.
“Oh, she did much worse!” Kit interrupted, ready to stir the pot.
“Worse than a golem?” CeeCee said doubtfully, eyeing Stephanie the same way Cole was eyeing Kit.
“Stephanie took on a Hell-spawned demon and Human Killer at the same time!” Kit announced with a proud expression on his face.
“She did what!” Lucian exclaimed.
“Simultaneously!” Kit repeated.
“You had two to fight?” Benedict asked, confused, his arms around Mariah.
Stephanie glanced at Cole and shuffled her feet uncomfortably.
“Justin came back from the dead. He was a spirit called a Human Killer,” she whispered.
“He attacked here at The Green Man, but I drove him away. I’d no idea he’d hunt you down,” CeeCee said guiltily.
“It’s not your fault. Kit killed him while I fought the demon,” Stephanie said.
“You held a demon off?” Lucian said, flabbergasted.
“Not just held him off, but kicked his scaly arse, too. She sent him to Hell and made sure he stayed there,” Kit explained.
“Maybe we should sit down and get their stories,” Daniel spoke, interrupting.
The Nortons all scowled, and he grinned.
“Hello again, Stephanie,” Daniel said.
Kit snatched her close and glowered.
Daniel only grinned. “Kit, I’d like you to meet my wife. This is Sabine and the mother of my heirs.”
A pretty woman stepped forward and greeted them. Kit grasped it was Daniel’s way of saying he wasn’t interested in Stephanie. But even so, Kit planned to keep her nearby.
“Well, this is something I never expected to see,” Kit finally said, as an awkward silence fell.
“The Rakehell Six and the Nortons together without fighting and squabbling? No, I would have placed a huge wager on that not happening,” Henrietta interrupted.
“Funny, me too,” CeeCee declared. “But here we all are.”
“And with a shared mission,” Kit added.
Heads twisted towards him.
“What shared mission?” Tristian demanded, his eyes narrowing.
