Demons Not Included: A Night Tracker Novel (Night Tracker Novels)

by Cheyenne McCray

  My mind spun. I couldn’t get enough of his scent, his taste, and the wonderful feeling of being in his arms. I don’t think anything had ever felt so right in my life until that moment. As if I had been waiting for this without ever realizing it.

  Adam laid me on my mattress and I brought him down with me. “I’m not about to let you leave,” I said as he straddled me and braced his forearms on the bed.

  His brown eyes held my gaze. “I’m not going anywhere.” He lowered his head and blew air across my nipples. “I’d hate to be a homicide victim.”

  I gasped from the erotic sensation of his breath warming my nipples, and laughed at his words at the same time. “Good boy.”

  “Your nipples are so sensitive.” He smiled as he licked one of them, then met my gaze as I squirmed beneath him.

  “Right now I’m sensitive everywhere.” I reached between us and felt the hard ridge of his thick erection through his jeans. I squeezed his cock. “How about you?”

  Adam groaned. “Baby, keep touching me like that and you’ll find out.”

  I caught him by surprise by twisting just right so that I could flip him onto his back, and I straddled him. He grabbed me by the waist and gave me a sexy grin. “You like to be the one in control?”

  “Sometimes.” I brushed my lips over his. “Especially because of what I’m going to do to you now.”

  He raised an eyebrow, and I smiled against his lips before I kissed him, then moved down his body until I was between his thighs. I wished I could take his T-shirt off, but the shoulder holster would have to be removed and I didn’t want to mess with it right now. He probably had concealed backup weapons, so I would be limited in what I could do. For now.

  “I have a feeling that stripping off your jeans isn’t going to be an easy task.” I breathed in his scent as I nuzzled his T-shirt and felt his taut abs against my face. “So I’ll see what I can do.” I looked up at him and gave him my naughtiest grin. “If not, your clothes will go the same way as my shirt.”

  Adam laughed as I started unfastening his belt, and he slipped his fingers into my hair. “I love the blue highlights when the sun hits your hair just right.”

  At the mention of the word blue, I stilled for a second, then brushed aside the thought of him one day seeing my hair when it was cobalt blue. It caused an uneasy flutter in my belly, but that was quickly replaced by the deeper rash of desire that traveled straight between my thighs as I unzipped his jeans. I saw his boxers and laughed.

  “Sylvester and Tweety Bird?” I looked up at him to see his adorable grin.

  “Next time I’ll wear Taz.”

  “How about Marvin the Martian?”

  “Maybe.” He ran his fingers through my hair at the scalp and I shivered at the delicious sensation.

  “A cop wearing Looney Tunes boxers.” I tugged the boxers down. “Who’d have thought?”

  “Nyx.” Adam hissed through his teeth as I wrapped my fingers around his erection and lubricated it with the semen that had already escaped. “Damn.”

  “I hope that’s a good ‘damn,’” I murmured before I slipped my mouth over his cock.

  “Jesus.” Adam thrust his hips up as I took more of him into my mouth. One sexual talent I had apparently inherited from my Drow half was the ability to deep-throat, and take all of his incredible length and thickness in. “I never—damn.”

  I stroked the sac at the base of his cock with one hand while I worked the other at the base of his erection. I licked and sucked and scraped my teeth lightly over his cock as 1 moved my mouth up and down it. He tasted delicious, salty-sweet.

  The scent of his semen aroused me even more and I knew my Drow pheromones were kicking into high gear. No matter how he tried, Adam wouldn’t be able to hold back much longer.

  His breathing sounded a little ragged as he said, “I’m going to come. I’ll pull out if you don’t want to swallow.”

  As if I’d let him. I made a purring sound and sucked harder.

  I used a little of my fire element to direct static at his balls to intensify his orgasm. Adam’s hips bucked like he’d been shocked with a bolt of electricity. His come spurted down my throat as I took him deep. He sounded like he was holding back a shout as he cupped the back of my head and rode out the length of his orgasm.

  He groaned, and I knew that he was finished as tension escaped his body and his muscles slackened.

  “I don’t know if it’s possible to ever move again,” He sounded sated and worn-out as I let his cock slip from my mouth.

  I eased up so that I was straddling him again and kissed him. Would I ever get enough of his taste?

  Or the feel of his hands roaming up and down my body? Right then I didn’t think I’d be totally satisfied. I’d want him again and again.

  When I drew away from the kiss, my hair drifted over his cheeks like a curtain and I met his warm brown eyes. He stroked my hair again, and then I shivered as his fingers ran over the sensitive curve of my ear. as if he knew it was one of my erogenous zones.

  “I think I just got my second wind,” he said before catching me off guard and rolling me onto my back. Then he climbed off of me and off the bed, and I saw—I mean when he stood. His cock looked as hard as it had when I tasted him.

  He watched me as he removed his Clock, then took off his shoulder holster and settled both on the nightstand, next to the miniature Tiffany lamp. His badge and a tactical pocketknife followed. He shoved up his jeans on his left leg and removed an ankle holster that held a smaller handgun.

  I grew wetter and wetter between my thighs as he kicked off his running shoes, removed his socks, and shoved down his boxers and jeans. “Got any more weapons, Detective?” I murmured as I started to rub my palms across my nipples while I watched him.

  Adam took off his T-shirt, his biceps flexing, his abs more defined as he shrugged out of the shirt before tossing it aside. And then I could see every inch of the masculine perfection of his naked body. His sculpted muscles shifted beneath smooth flesh that was a few shades darker than my pale skin.

  My focus drifted to his erection, and my breathing grew more rapid as I imagined his thick cock sliding into my core while he sucked my nipples again.

  “Will this do for a weapon?” he said in a husky voice as he stroked his cock and moved to the side of the bed.

  “It’s a lethal weapon all right.” I licked my lips as I kicked off my tennis shoes while still lying on the bed. and then I reached for the button to my jeans.

  He pushed my hands away and stripped off my jeans faster than I could. “Sweet,” he murmured as he ran his finger along the inside band of my lace-and-satin panties. Thank the Goddess Mother had a drawer full of new sexy underwear that she’d purchased at Victoria’s on one of her trips from Otherworld.

  Adam glanced at my jeans that were now on the carpet and looked back at me. “I’ve never seen you in jeans before.” He tugged on my panties and started sliding them down my legs. “You look so beautiful, no matter what you wean” The way he took off my socks even felt sexy.

  Warmth infused my body at the feel of being almost completely naked and from the way he was looking at my body, his eyes hungry filled with desire. I started to unfasten my bra, which was still beneath my breasts.

  He shook his head. “Leave it.”

  I stretched out my arms for him. “Come here.”

  “Not yet.” The bed dipped beneath his powerful body when he climbed onto the bed and pushed apart my thighs. More shivers of desire coursed through me. He caressed my hairless mound.

  “Brazilian wax?”

  Not exactly. Elves and Dark Elves don’t have body or facial hair, but I didn’t want to get into that territory at this minute. Not when I needed him so badly. “Something like that,” I said.

  “I like it.” He slid his finger along the slit and then into my wet folds, and I gasped when he slipped his finger inside my core. “I really like it,” he murmured before he lowered himself and kissed my mound, flicking his
tongue over the soft skin.

  I sucked in my breath before letting it out in a gasp as he parted my folds and began licking my clit.

  The sheets were soft in my fists as I clenched handfuls of the material. as if to keep myself anchored to the bed.

  “Dear Goddess,” I said as I arched my back when he sucked my clit.

  Blue. A brilliant shade of blue flashed through my mind as I climaxed. I’d never seen colors before when I had orgasms. It was like my mind short-circuited, and all I could see were waves of blue rushing in and out as my body rocked and shook.

  Adam carried me to a second orgasm with his mouth and tongue, and the color in my mind shifted so that it was deep blue-green, as if I were falling into an endless sea.

  My core still spasmed as I felt Adam move up my body I opened my eyes and the blue faded as I looked into his deep brown gaze. I realized I was trembling.

  “You okay?” He kissed the spot between my jaw and my ear, his muscular body pressed close.

  “I will be when you’re inside me,” I said, and he rose up so that he was looking down at me.

  He smiled, reached for his badge wallet on the nightstand, and pulled a condom package out of the wallet. As Drow I was fully protected from anything, and couldn’t get pregnant unless I wanted to.

  But I wanted him to feel comfortable by practicing human safe sex. “I hope this is still good,” he said. “It’s been a while.”

  I raised my eyebrows. “You, the gorgeous Detective Boyd, celibate for any length of time?”

  Another adorable grin as he tore the package open and tossed the wrapper aside, leaving him holding the condom. “Ever since I met you—I just haven’t been interested in other women.”

  “Really?” I blinked as he rolled the condom down his erection. “Why—”

  He kissed me. “It’s taken this long to get close to you,” he murmured against my lips. “You’ve been holding back for quite a while.”

  “To think what I’ve been missing.” We smiled against each other’s lips, and then he shifted and his cock was slightly inside my core. “Oh, Goddess, that feels good.” My eyes nearly rolled back in my head as I arched my hips and took inches more of him.

  And then he drove his cock all the way in. I whimpered, moaned, and cried out with each thrust. He took me harder than I expected, with even more passion than I’d imagined.

  He sucked and licked my nipples, his hips spreading my thighs wide as he moved in and out. And then he was kissing me as I grew more and more frantic from my oncoming orgasm. I squirmed and raked my nails across his back.

  Closer, closer, nearing that precipice.

  Red. This time red flamed behind my closed eyes when I climaxed. Amazing. Goddess, it was amazing. My entire body was suffused with warm, sweet, stinging sensations. No place on my body was left untouched. My whole self was alive beyond my imagination.

  Within moments of sliding down from that orgasm I had another. And then another. I was so sensitized by the last one that tears would have been in my eyes if it were possible.

  Adam thrust even harder several times and then stopped, pressing his groin tight to mine. He gave a hoarse shout as his cocked throbbed inside me.

  I opened my eyes and watched him. His brown hair was slightly messy, his brown eyes like melted dark chocolate, his strong jaw tense, his body taut. He was so beautiful in a masculine way as he rode out his climax.

  When the orgasm faded, he slumped and his body pressed down on me. He adjusted himself so that his full weight wasn’t on me. I found his muscular body weight warm and comforting, and I wanted to stay like that as long as we could.

  Adam rolled onto his side, drawing me with him so that we were facing each other. We both smiled, and he stroked my hair away from my eyes.

  He tucked me in close. “You’re so beautiful, Nyx.”

  “So are you,” I said as I snuggled close to him, and took a deep breath of the scent of sex the two of us had made together. Good. It smelled so good.

  I’m not sure I’d ever felt so relaxed, so at peace. So much so that I tumbled into a deep sleep in his arms.

  My whole body tingled, and I smiled as I drifted from sleep toward consciousness, loving being in Adam’s embrace.

  Oh, my Goddess. I jerked awake as I registered what the tingling meant.

  My eyes immediately went to Adam’s face. I couldn’t let him see me change without explaining it first. I had to prepare him. Somehow I’d have to get him out of here. I’d hide in the bathroom.

  Gutless wonder.

  Then I realized it was too late and I went completely still on the bed as I watched Adam. He had braced one arm on the mattress so that he was partially up, and his other hand was holding a lock of my hair, which had already changed from black to cobalt blue.

  The muscles in my slender arms and the rest of my body grew more sculpted, and my short incisors scraped my tongue as I lay beside him, afraid to move. His gaze met mine and his lips parted as he brought his fingers up and caressed the pale amethyst of my cool cheek, then traced the curves of my pointed ear.

  “Is this the secret you’ve been keeping?” he said softly.

  My throat hurt as I swallowed, as if I’d been screaming. “I’m half human and half Drow.” At his confused expression, I added, “Drow are Dark Elves.”

  He continued to trail his fingers back from my ear and over my face to my mouth, and he touched one of my small incisors.

  “No, Dark Elves are not related to Vampires,” I said before he could ask.

  “I didn’t think you are.” He ran his thumb along my lower lip before skimming his fingers down my throat, his gaze following the movements. He continued on between my breasts, where my areolae and nipples were now a deep shade of amethyst. He stopped when he reached my taut abs, settled his warm palm there for a moment, and met my gaze.

  My heart wasn’t beating anymore, I was sure of it, and I was holding my breath.

  “I don’t understand,” he said as he moved his hand away from my abs. My heart started to sink as he cupped the side of my face with his palm. The intensity of his gaze and the emotions in his eyes were confusing. What was he thinking? “Why did you keep this from me for so long?” he said.

  I let out my breath. “I was afraid of what you would think if you saw me like this.”

  “I’m not that shallow, Nyx.” Adam’s tone was almost a reprimand.

  My eyes widened as more confusion set me on a shaky edge. “I never thought you were. I just—I had a bad experience with a man I cared for. He freaked out and it was pretty nasty. I’ve been afraid ever since.” He shook his head. What did that mean? “The guy was a fucking idiot.” Adam cupped the back of my head and met my gaze as I tried to register what he was saying. “Whoever it was sure as hell didn’t deserve you.”

  He kissed me. Long and hard and sweet. All the fear rushed out of me as he took his time kissing me, as if making sure I knew he wasn’t like the other guy.

  When Adam drew away, I blinked a few times as I opened my eyes. He was smiling. “You are so damned beautiful, Nyx. Every inch of you. Half human, half Drow, whatever. You’re incredible.”

  “Thank you.” The words came out in a whisper. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you—show you—sooner.”

  “Just don’t hold back anything else from me, okay?” He kissed my forehead as I nodded.

  “I promise,” I said.

  “Good.” He rolled me onto my back and a thrill went through me at the feel of his erection against my thigh. “Now I’m going to make love to the world’s most beautiful purple woman.”

  “Amethyst,” I said, and he smiled as he slid inside of me.

  CHAPTER 24

  In sort of a daydream, I walked to the rucksack where I’d left my XPhone after calling Rodán.

  I smiled as I thought about Adam, the way he had made love to me, and how he had accepted the Drow half of me without question. Even the way he’d been almost angry with me for holding back from him, before I
told him about Stan.

  I missed Adam already, even thought it hadn’t been that long since his cell phone rang and then he’d had to leave because something had come up on one of his cases.

  Nadia or Olivia? I paused for a moment before deciding who I was going to call. Definitely Nadia.

  Because Olivia was going to kill me for not waiting for her to finish her conversation with Rodán night before last, when I almost ended up in Summerland.

  I grabbed my XPhone and hit speed dial for Nadia. I tugged on my leather pants and corset at the same time the phone rang.

  “Nyx!” Nadia was obviously reading her incoming caller screen. Her voice was filled with relief. “I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear your voice.”

  “It’s good to hear yours, too.” I kept thinking about Adam, even as I talked with her, and a giddy smile was on my face. “It’s soooo great to be home.”

  “Come over and tell me all about what’s making you sound so dreamy,” Nadia said with a laugh.

  “I’m making dinner.”

  Seafood, no doubt. After all, she was a Siren.

  “Yum.” I looked at the entrance, remembering how wonderful Adam had looked when I opened the door. “See you in a bit.”

  Pounding rain echoed on the rooftop as I ended the call and finished adjusting my leather outfit.

  The leather felt good against my skin, and it only took me a few moments to hook my weapons belt around my hips.

  I dug into the rucksack for my weapons. After I fastened my buckler at the front of my belt, I sheathed my daggers, holstered my 9mm Kahr, and made sure my XPhone was on vibrate before clipping it to my belt. Couldn’t have it belting out AC/DC’s “Back in Black,” my latest ringtone, as I was stalking Demons.

  It was September, and I couldn’t believe all the rain we were getting. I could have used my air powers to keep myself dry once I went into the rain, but I had to admit I didn’t feel totally at full speed, and I didn’t want to waste any elemental energies.

  By the time I reached Nadia’s apartment two blocks away, I was completely soaked. I hadn’t bothered with a glamour this time, also to save energy. After all. this was New York City, and in the near-darkness, a drowned rat of an amethyst-skinned, blue-haired woman barely got a glance. I did cloak and protect my weapons and XPhone, though.
