With a sigh of relief, I shut off the engine, picked up my purse, and shoved thoughts of Tony far away.
Chapter 3 Rael
My Reaper sensed something was off with Nylah first. He could see in the dark better than I could, and he growled within my chest.
Something spooked our beloved.
I stiffened as my Berserker rose to the surface, shoving both the Reaper and me to the side as he sniffed the air.
Fear. Worry. She’s upset.
Well, fuck.
We need to find out why.
Let us fuck her so she knows she’s protected.
That last thought was the Berserker.
“She knows that already,” I reminded him, but I wasn’t opposed to taking her for a ride on my bike and my cock tonight. I’d find out what upset her and deal with it.
And reap a few souls.
Maybe.
Or just fuck them up, my Berserker added.
I wasn’t opposed to that either.
As soon as I saw Nylah up close, I could tell she’d had a long day. Her eyes were glassy and a bit puffy. Her smile almost seemed a bit forced. I didn’t think she wasn’t happy to see me, just that her day had been shit and exhausted her.
Dinner was probably postponed. We could pick something up if she was hungry. I’d let her decide.
I reached for her purse and stashed it in one of my saddlebags before bringing her in close and tilting her chin up. “You okay, my beloved?”
“Yeah. Just tired.”
“You hungry?”
She shook her head. “I had a late lunch.”
I thought so. “You still want to take a ride?”
“Definitely.” She slid her arms around my neck. “But maybe you should kiss and remind me why it’s such a good idea.”
Hell yeah.
My lips brushed hers, tightly controlled, applying enough pressure to show her that I loved her, but resisting enough to also let her know this was only the tip of what I had to offer. Pun intended.
Her eyes fluttered as she lightly scratched her nails on the back of my neck. “Teasing me? That’s a dangerous game, my sexy bastard.”
Sexy bastard.The name I typed into her phone contacts the day we met. When I brought her sister in after finding her in the middle of a vicious assault, Nylah punched me in the gut when she saw me, convinced I’d been the one to harm Mimi.
I fell in love with her almost instantly. To this day, we still joke about me being her sexy bastard. It’s my favorite nickname.
“Let’s go so we can find someplace private.”
I shivered. Couldn’t help it. That sultry voice of hers sent excitement straight to my dick. “Get on this bike before my cock is so hard I can’t sit in the saddle.”
