Page 3 of Demon Rider

Harlan screams as the mark ignites, chains of shadow whipping out, binding him. Otto chants under his breath, strengthening the pull. Zeke and Teo hold the perimeter, ready for anything.

Huck, Rupert and Milo hang back, as the last line of defense.

Believe me we may be good at this job, but fuck, we have been caught off guard a few times, so now to cover all bases.

“You can’t keep me down there!” the voice thrills through the air.

“Watch me.”

The chains snap tight, dragging him into the dark, ripping him from the world of the living. His scream fades, swallowed by the pit.

The building stops shaking. Silence settles.

My gaze settles on the woman who is on her knees starting at us, with wide fearful eyes.

“Good work. Fuck I need a blowjob.” Pres laughs, but I do not look at him.

I can’t seem to look away.

Otto nods. “Fuck, yeah, I could go for a fast hard fuck, right about now.” He nods to the black mark on the floor. “One less monster topside.”

Teo smirks. “Drinks on me.”

“I am not sharing my food with you, pricks.” Milo states. “Women, money and loyalty yes, but not food.”

I exhale, letting the demon settle back into its cage.

“Pres.”

“What?” he looks to me, I nod to the woman. “Yeah, what about her? Otto can swipe her memory.”

Shaking my head, my fists clenched at my sides of the idea of her being taken from me. “My mate” I inform him.

Her eyes bug out of his skull. “No shit.”

I shake my head.

“Well fuck, brother, go get your girl. Otto will sort the bag of bones” He slaps me on the back, unfortunately the human host did not survive, fuck knows what Harlan did to his body.

Otto will make it look like an accident so his family will have some form of peace in his death.

I walk over to her, my steps slow, like I am approaching an injured animal. She is whimpering, moving away from me, her back hitting a wall.

“Hey, I am not going to hurt you.” I hold my hands up.

I know that once I touch her, it is game over. She will melt for me, and know deep in her soul that she is safe with me. Reapers only find one mate, and we treasure them.

Besides our reaping, they become our universe.

“My name is Tyson. I will not hurt you sweetheart.” I kneel down, so I am at her level. “What is your name?”

Hiding my hand out to her, for when she is ready to take it. I will wait for her, I can feel the pull already, our souls are so fucking close.

The sounds of my brother’s bikes firing up, making her help, I grin.

“It is just my brother’s leaving. They will help deal with the man that took you.” Her eyes flash wide. “Can you tell me where he took you from? What he did to you.” She shakes her head.

“Okay, maybe a name.”
