Once they were in Baton Rouge, Erin tried to get back into her routine as fast as possible. But, her routine had an unexpected addition.
She’d been given a babysitter. Okay, not a babysitter so much as a six-foot-two, two hundred pound, pissy demon who tailed her every move.
Erin looked up from her files and gazed at said pissy demon.
Zane raised his brows and gazed right back at her.
He was five feet away. Slouched in her ratty spare chair.
And the man wasn’t going anywhere.
When she and Jude had returned to Baton Rouge, Jude had dropped his little protection bombshell on her. Until the wolf was caught, she’d have twenty-four seven protection. One of the other Night Watch hunters during the day while Jude was out digging up leads, and at night, Jude would be with her.
Now, she was all about the Jude at night part. Yes, that worked for her. More than worked.
But Zane, and the irritating humming the demon kept doing under his breath, well, he wasn’t so much her thing.
Jude even had the human woman scheduled to take a shift with her. A human.
For protection?
That was just insulting.
One of the assistants came bustling in. “Erin, here’s the transcript from the Parsons trial?—”
A long, loud whistle.
Amy jumped and dropped the folder. Her hand flew to her chest as her head whipped to the right and Erin saw her spy the lurking demon.
He smiled at her. “Hi there.”
Erin growled.
He kept smiling at the assistant.
Don’t need this. Don’t. Need. This.
“Thanks, Amy, I’ll review it later today.” A dismissal. Probably too curt, but damn if Amy wasn’t starting to smile right back at the demon now. Great.
Erin cleared her throat. Twice. Amy finally darted out of the office, but not before she gave one long, last look at Zane.
“You’re an ass.” Erin told him, meaning it.
He blinked. “Ah, you’re just mad because I’m not flirting with you.” He shook his head. “But I don’t flirt with women who can fry my brain.”
Well, at least she was in his safe zone. Erin bared her teeth. She really didn’t like the reminder of that vicious encounter. “Didn’t we already go over this? Demon versus wolf? Why did Jude sendyouto watch me?”
A lazy shrug. “Because he trusts me.” A pause. “And he knows I’d fight like hell to protect you.”
Her eyes widened. That was new. Zane sounded like he meant those words, too. “You don’t even like me.”
“Sure I do.” A slow stretch. “Would even want to fuck you, if Jude hadn’t already claimed you.”
Heat burned her cheeks. No, no, he hadn’t just said?—
A soft chuckle escaped his lips. “Relax. I said Iwouldwant to. Didn’t say I was going to.” His right foot swung in a small circle. “I like women with a wild side.”
Oh, then he’d probably love her.
