“Creed,” she murmured.
“I'm here, baby. It's all good. You got Bender, I got the demons.”
“Good.” She licked her bottom lip and sat up, still on his lap. “Let's get out of here.”
“I'll call in an extract for you, but I've got to stay.”
“I thought you killed the demons?”
“Until this demon link is broken, the entities Bender's called on will continue to manifest—and they won't be limited to this house. People in the area will be vulnerable. So I don't so much as give a shit about Bender, but this will spread if it's not completely cleansed.”
“How long will that take?”
He shrugged. “Days, probably. Just let Devlin know I'll be back.”
But she was dialing her phone—he saw ACRO flash on her screen and then she was barking an order before clicking off. “I'm staying with you.”
Hot damn, he wasn't going to argue. “Just tell me one thing.”
“What's that?”
“Before, when you were thinking your happy thoughts—what were you thinking about?”
She yanked him close, a hand on the back of his neck at once both gentle and strong, “You know it was you, Creed. Always you.”
About the Authors
Sydney Croft is the alter-ego of Larissa Ione and Stephanie Tyler, two New York Times bestselling authors who blend their very different writing interests into adventurous tales of erotic paranormal fiction. Together, they developed a world where people with extraordinary abilities, like the power to control storms, could live and work with others like them. The series has been described as “Erotica meets the X-Men,” and is unique in its own “erotic super hero romance” niche.
Larissa and Stephanie live in different states and communicate almost entirely through email, though they often get together for conferences and book signings.
