Valory leaned her arms on the table, forcing me to do the same to hear her.
“Wolves have to hunt, right?”she said, twisting her lips.“And they come out under a full moon, which last I checked...the calendar on the wall at the register...at the shop...said tonight is a full moon.”
Understanding dawned on me, as I considered her words.
“Are you suggesting we give the wolves something to hunt?”I asked, my mouth suddenly dry.
Valory bit her lip, nodding.
“A distraction, yes.The wolves will be out prowling once the moon rises, no doubt.They move in packs.If we can keep them distracted long enough for one of us to...to get onto the property...”
“We may find Mercy and be on our way to bringing her salvation,” I said.
My gaze dipped to Valory’s tangerine-stained mouth.
Perhaps the wolves were not the only ones in need of a distraction.My cock swelled at the sight as a memory surfaced, of her backside pressed against me, of her plush, soft lips grazing mine.
I needed tobreathe, and with the way Valory was looking at me, with the way her words hung in the air, I found such a trivial notion difficult.
“Excuse me, Valory.”I said as I removed myself from our booth, heading to the men’s room to quell my stupid cock and itsdistraction.
I’d just locked the single use door, and I turned to free my cock, jumping at the sight of another person.
Or more accurately, another demon.
Roche leaned back against the sink, her tight-fitting, red mini dress hugging her curves deliciously, her perfectly circular breasts nearly popping out of her dress.She grinned at me with ruby red lips.
“Endor, darling...”she said with practiced sweetness.
I buttoned right back up.
“Roche,” I said as I approached her, crossing my arms.
“What the hell do you want?’
Roche tossed her hair over her shoulder, pouting at me.
“The question is what doyouwant, Endor?Because I thought someone who desperately wanted a promotion would do everything in their power to get the job done right, the first time...”
I ground my teeth at her words.
“A minor inconvenience...”
Roche laughed, the sound like nails on a chalkboard.
“A minor inconvenience?You lost alost soul.You had one job, Endor.One fucking job.Get the girl to her body, and claim her soul.And yet, here you are, cavorting with a fucking angel, drinking margaritas while your lost soul has been fuckingkidnapped.”
I advanced on her, growling in her space.
“Like I said, minor inconvenience.It was not my fault I had beenmisledby the power that be that I was the most powerful being.When clearly they were wrong.Had I been given therightinformation, perhaps I would not have put all my eggs into one fucking basket.Boss.”
Roche reached out, letting her blood red fingertips trail down my exposed forearm.
“You are distracted,” she purred, her dark eyes flashing at me with excitement.
“I am no such thing,” I lied.
Roche set her hand on my hip, imploring me with her fiery gaze.
