Percy reappeared a few feet in front of Kevin, offering a weary smile. “I take it back. The World’s Largest Ball of Twine is pretty damn awesome.”
“Fuckin’ told ya’!” Kevin’s heart soared and he grinned, throwing his arms around Percy. He hugged him as tight as he dared, tears stinging his eyes. “For fuck’s sake. Look at you.” He pulled away to cradle Percy’s face and inspect the wound on his neck. “We need to get you cleaned up.”
“Nothing but a scratch,” Percy fussed. “I’m fine—”
The sound of a car alarm startled them, and Kevin turned to see the ball of twine bouncing off a car as it made its way down the street. He turned back to see Sebastian staggering to a knee, bloody and very much alive, glaring their way.
Kevin gulped. “Shit.”
“Well.” Percy grabbed Kevin’s hand. “I think that’s our cue to flee, peaches.”
CHAPTERELEVEN
Fuckin’ hell, what is that guy?” Kevin ran, pulling Percy with him toward the truck.
“Half-demon, remember?” Percy replied. “A tad tenacious!”
They broke apart to hop into the truck, and Kevin clutched the sword as he slid in behind the wheel. He dropped the sword into the floorboard and then fumbled with his keys, cranked the engine, and sped away, tires squealing. He zoomed through the tiny town toward the interstate.
A particularly tight turn made Percy groan in pain.
“Hey, hey. Here.” Kevin reached under the seat to grab a small red bag. “First aid kit.”
“I’ll be fine. He shot me with blessed bullets, that little shit.” Percy cringed as he ripped open his shirt, his skin briefly turning red as his demonic form peeked through. “We need to get as far away as possible so I can change. In my true form, I’ll be able to get these bullets out and heal much faster.”
“Fuck, demons are tough bastards.”
“What about you?” Percy reached for Kevin’s thigh. “Are you all right? Are you hurt?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” Kevin wished his heart wasn’t still trying to pound out of his chest, but he didn’t have a scratch on him. “Totally fine. I’m not the one gushin’ blood all over the fuckin’ place!”
“It’s only a little bit of blood.” Percy managed a pretty hearty eyebrow wiggle. “Want a taste, peaches?”
Kevin couldn’t explain the overwhelming need to lick Percy’s bloody neck, but he was certainly curious. “Maybe when we stop, uh…” He felt claws sprouting from Percy’s fingers, and he squeezed his hand. “Hey, what’s wrong?”
“I’ll be fine. Just get us to the interstate.” Percy inhaled shakily as his horns sprouted from his forehead. He grunted low, hissing between his teeth, “F-fuck.”
It was hard to focus on the road when his gorgeous new boyfriend was morphing into a full-blown demon right beside him. While slightly terrifying, it was also thrilling. “Shit, shit… Are you sure you’re okay? You do not sound good.”
“I’ll try to bleed more quietly,” Percy drawled.
“That’s not what I’m saying, asshole!” Kevin sped up to merge onto the interstate, swerving as he stole a peek over at Percy.
Percy had finished his magnificent transformation. It was lucky he was short, otherwise his horns might have hit the roof. He dragged his fingers over a bullet hole, hissing as he dug into the wound. “I’m fine, peaches. Trust me.”
Kevin glanced over, grimacing as he saw Percy extract a bullet.
Percy grumbled as he fought with the hand crank to roll down the window. “Fucking old ass truck.”
Kevin squeezed the steering wheel and whispered an apology to his truck on behalf of Percy. “It’s okay. He doesn’t mean it.”
“I most certainly do.” Percy flicked the bullet out the window. “Ugh.”
“Hey, we should have kept that for the scrapbook!”
“Don’t worry. There’s plenty more.”
Kevin couldn’t see exactly how many bullets Percy pulled out, but there seemed to be a lot. He did his best to keep his eyes on the road, but Percy’s demonic form was very distracting. He was possibly even hotter with horns, and that was definitely something Kevin wanted to explore later. He knew when Percy was done because he reverted to his human form once more and then rolled up the window.
