Infernal: Bite The Bullet (27 page)

I moaned. “You are a wicked man.”

“You love it, demon girl” he teased, smacking my
ass.

I glared at him, but failed miserably to hold back
laughter. “I do,” I conceded.

“I love you too Neva.”

Dammit but I liked the sound of that. His lips
touched the corner of my mouth and I twisted to capture him in a kiss.

“You think there’s any truth in all that occult
stuff? Are we cursed?” I traced the faint outline of the handprint on his
chest.

Konstantyn’s shoulder lifted in an unsettled
shrug. “I hope we never find out. Dante believed, but he was a desperate man.”

“And the others?” There had been so many, it made
you wonder if there was something beyond the sheep mentality.

“Perverts mostly. Sexual deviants and pain
junkies, along for the ride.”

I hummed thoughtfully and nodded. “Gracie said
there were others though, based in Europe.”

“Yeah, hardcore occult groups. And that brings me
back to what I need to talk to you about.”

Oh yeah
. I caught his gaze and tried not to
get distracted again.

His hand filtered into my hair, and I got the sense
he was holding on to me in case I freaked out on him again.

“When the British government recruited me, I told
them I wanted in on the operation exposing the others.”

“But–” I’d only got him back, and he was planning
to leave?

“Shhh. Hear me out,” he said, pressing a fingertip
to my lips. I shushed, but my heart was thumping against my rib cage like a
trapped bird.  “I also told them I wanted a partner.”

I blinked at him a few times. “A partner? You
mean...”

“You. Why not? You’re perfect. You have no real
ties here, you’re agile, fearless. You proved you can think on your feet, and
deep down, I know you’re still stoking a fire for revenge.”

I couldn’t deny it. A thrill shot through my belly
at the thought.

“It would be dangerous,” he added, but it didn’t
sound like he was trying to dissuade me, more the opposite.

“But we’d be together?” My lips curved up at the
corners and his inched up in response, steadily getting wider.

“Yeah.”

“I’m in,” I said, and just like that, I bit the
bullet.
