I speed up my movements, not stopping until he comes. Unlike a human male, who biologically needs a moment to recover before coming again, vampires are ready to go right away. I sit up, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand, and Lucas flips me over, pulling my underwear off and moving between my legs to return the favor.
And—fuck—he does.
I come twice before he moves up, pushing that big cock into me. Curling my legs around his waist, he rocks me into oblivion, and we come at the same time only a moment later. I rake my fingers down his back, eyes fluttering shut. Lucas slowly pulls out and lies next to me, covering us with the sheet. I’m hot and sweaty and ready to pass out—and then my phone rings.
It’s Evander this time, and Lucas answers for me.
“Hello?” he says into the phone.
“Oh, Lucas,” Evander’s voice comes through the speaker. “Is Callie around?”
“She’s naked in bed next to me, worn out from making love.”
I swat my hand at Lucas. “Seriously?” I say. “Give me the phone.”
Lucas laughs and hands me the phone, lying back down next to me and kissing my neck. “Hey, Evander. What’s going on?”
“Apparently not as much as what’s going on at your place.”
“Hah. But true. I am in bed with Lucas.”
“Gross, Callie. I don’t need that visual.”
“Oh please, we both know you like the thought of Lucas naked,” I tease. “But I licked him so he’s mine.”
“Are you trying to make me throw up my coffee?”
“How close am I?”
“Close enough to me coming over and drinking the rest of your morning sickness potion.”
“You wouldn’t dare!” I say, trying not to laugh.
“Keep up with the unnecessary details and I’ll be there.”
“So, you don’t want me to send you pictures?”
“Of Lucas naked in your bed? Please do,” Evander says seriously, and then we both laugh. “Not to change the subject, but I did call for a reason.”
“Right. The demon in the woods. I got Ruby’s message.”
“She alerted me right away, and I was able to get away for bit to look into it myself. The energy is reading as a lower-level demon, which would explain why you ran into scrappers in the woods last night. But given that boy’s description of the demon looking like a wolf, I’m a bit baffled. Demons who can shift aren’t lower-level, and it doesn’t explain another energy shift we sensed last night. I thought something might be wrong with the Ley line, but rest assured, all is fine. Though it still doesn’t explain why those nons described the demon as wolf-like.”
I look at Lucas, wrinkling my nose. Right. I have a buttload of information to tell Evander, starting with the wolves. “That’s probably because the demon isn’t a wolf and the wolf is actually a wolf. A werewolf, to be exact. Lucas and I kind of ran into one last night.”
“Seven devils, please tell me you’re joking.”
“I wish I were.” I bring my hand to my forehead, rubbing my temples. Everything from last night comes rushing back. “It set off our motion detectors, and Lucas was able to catch him before he ran off.”
“Don’t tell me you have him strung up in your basement.”
“No,” I say sharply. “Werewolves are human.” I get a flash to one of the first interactions I had with Easton after realizing who he really was. The group of hunters he’d been running with had tracked and slaughtered an entire pack of werewolves. I don’t know how much Easton actually took part, and I don’t want to know. The pack wasn’t violent, hadn’t harmed a human in their entire existence, and owned and ran a vegan bakery, for fuck’s sake.
And they were killed simply for being werewolves. Judged solely on what they were instead of who they were as human fucking beings.
“But this one…” I let out a sigh. “Lucas held him spellbound and he confessed everything to me.”
“Confessed?” Evander echoes.
“Yep. Basically, they want power from the Ley line and think it’s their turn to have it. They’re ready to fight us, blah, blah, blah. I sent him back to his pack with a warning to leave us the hell alone.” My heart skips a beat, thinking of what happened next. My anger surged through me, sending a blast of angelic energy so strong even Evander was able to sense it back at the Covenstead.
And then Lucifer showed up.
“I’ll let the council know. We’re on good terms with the Eastwood pack.”
“Oh right, we are. Hopefully
