They’d found a cheap hotel off the interstate and gotten a room for the night. Percy had complained about the lack of room service and other amenities, but he still said it was better than sleeping in the truck. As soon as they’d fallen into bed together, Kevin had passed right out.
Waking up beside Percy was definitely something he could get used to.
That fluttering feeling was back in Kevin’s heart and a surge of butterflies danced in his stomach. He didn’t think he’d ever felt this way about anyone before, and he couldn’t resist leaning in and pressing a soft kiss to Percy’s cheek.
Percy stirred at the kiss, and a smile crept onto his lips. “Mm, good morning. Money’s on the dresser. Lock up on your way out, please.”
Kevin let out a quiet laugh, and he gently brushed Percy’s hair back from his face. “I think you’re a little short. I definitely deserve a bonus. And pancakes. Gonna have to get my pimp in here.”
“I don’t want any trouble.” Percy opened his eyes, grinning. “I’m sure we can work something out.”
“I sure hope so. Julie doesn’t mess around. That woman means business.”
“Here. How’s this?”
The warm smell of maple syrup wafted by Kevin’s nose, and he looked down at the foot of the bed to see a giant stack of pancakes, a carafe of syrup, and a plate packed with bacon on a silver tray.
Kevin sat up, and his stomach immediately growled at the sight of the Scooby-Doo sized portions. “This is a real good start. We can definitely work something else out to cover the rest.” He bowed his head to kiss Percy.
Percy cradled the side of Kevin’s face as he kissed him back adoringly, but all too soon he was pulling away. “Mm, go on. Eat up. Another exciting day of staring at the open road is ahead of us.”
“Uh-huh.” Kevin’s cock throbbed from the awesome kiss and early morning hour, but he scooted down toward the tray. Food was the priority right now. “You want some?”
“I’m fine, thank you.” Percy pulled himself up against the headboard, and he had a large cup of coffee in his hand.
“Hey, more for me.” Kevin set the tray in his lap. “I thought maybe we could look for some fun stuff to do while we’re driving. Something to do along the way to break it up.”
“Oh yay,” Percy drawled. “More tourist traps, movie sets, and the like?”
“Yeah! I mean, it’s kinda hard to plan since I still don’t know where we’re going exactly, but maybe we’ll find something cool.” Kevin drowned the pancakes in syrup before cutting a bite out of the whole stack. He shoved it into his mouth, which didn’t stop him from speaking. “Wah ’bout that hunter guy?”
Percy grimaced. “No sign of Sebastian, but that doesn’t mean he’s not still out there. Without the tracking ward, however, he won’t be able to follow us, but there are other ways to locate us. Most of which I’ve done my best to block.
“Wah odder kendah wayhs?”
Percy made another face.
Kevin held up his hand while he finished chewing, and he grabbed Percy’s coffee to steal a sip to wash the pancakes down. It was no surprise that the coffee was syrupy sweet, and he handed the mug back. “Thanks.”
Percy scowled, snatching his mug away.
“What other kinda ways? How else can he find us?”
“There are multiple types of spells they could cast if they get a hold of our glasses or the cue sticks.”
“Wait, they can use what we touched at that bar to find us again?”
“Any item or surface we touched for a prolonged period of time, yes. I’ve put up a ward to hide us, but they can still use divination rituals to track my demonic energy.” Percy raised his mug. “Hence the coffee. Its magical abilities aren’t merely limited to making humans into higher functioning creatures. It will help dilute my essence and I might be able to pass as a mortal and slide under the radar. At least until we get far enough away from them.”
Kevin hated the panic trying to rise up and choke out his good mood. In just a few days, he’d gone from a normal guy to a fallen angel on the run from hunters with a demon. He had no idea where he was even running to, and he couldn’t help feeling guilty for dragging Percy into a big dangerous mess.
Percy sighed. “I should have just burned down the bar…”
“Hey, what about me?” Kevin asked between bites of bacon. “Do I have angel essence?”
“Of course you do. But no one I know of hunts angels. You’re the good guys, remember?”
“Is there anything else we can do?”
