“She climbed in bed with me and tried to fuck me,” he says.
I almost laugh. Tit for tat. Stupid girl. I step closer and put my hand on his back. “Let her go, baby.” He releases her and she glares at him, then me.
“Isn’t that what we do around here? Share?” she snarls, bold now in the face of her murderous rage.
“Need some help?” Cade queries from the doorway.
“Please,” I say as I drag her roughly to her feet. “Try that again and I will make good on my husband’s threat,” I say to her quietly. “Go now with Cade. I will come and discuss this behavior with you later.” I throw her to Cade, who then takes over.
“How much longer is she going to be like this? I didn’t sign on to be a babysitter,” he complains.
“I know, I’m sorry but you are good with the whole magick thing. A few more weeks unless Devon decides to sort his act out,” I say, annoyed at her, not Devon. “I’m going to have to pull out the big gun
s here. He isn’t listening to me, so CK will just have to have words with him.”
“Hm, that would get me in line,” Cade says with a loud laugh. “I will see you later.” I wave him off and turn to Cole, who is looking more amused than anything else. “I can only assume that was in revenge of witnessing you and Devon going at it?” he says with an eye roll.
“Kind of,” I admit. “But all she saw was us talking and then I went off in search of Dawn and found her…” I smile at the memory.
“Found her what?”
“In bed with Scott!” I say.
He looks scandalized. “Scott? And Dawn?”
I nod. “I’m glad that he finally noticed she was interested. I might have had to have words. For an Empath, he can be pretty clueless,” I snort in amusement.
“You knew she was interested?”
“You didn’t? She couldn’t keep her eyes off him yesterday. Well, until she saw you, of course.”
“Me?” he asks, confused.
“Oh, Cole. Really? You didn’t know she has a thing for you?”
He shakes his head. “No, don’t be ridiculous. She doesn’t have a thing for me.”
“Baby,” I say, taking his hand and sitting on the bed with him. “Every woman on the planet that can see, has a thing for you.”
“Doubtful. But only I care about you,” he says, pulling me onto his lap.
“Oh, I definitely have a thing for you,” I say with a slow smile, running my hands up his chest to the back of his neck. I pull him to me, but we are interrupted by a knock on the door.
“Go away,” Cole yells.
“Liv,” Lincoln says through the door. “You really need to come downstairs.”
“Why?” I ask, irritated.
“Just come down,” Lincoln says pushing the door open regardless of not being bid. “Trouble is brewing.”
“What kind of trouble?” I climb off Cole.
“You are going to have to pick a side to beat down, either your sire or your Demon friend.”
“Oh, for fuck's sake,” I grouse as I follow Lincoln out of the room with Cole, who hastily pulls on some sweats, hot on my heels.
“What the fuck is going on?” I thunder at them as I find them dueling in the foyer. “This is not the 18th century and this floor cost a small fortune. If either of you fucking nicks it, I will kill you myself,” I yell at them.
