And he was already ahead of the game.
I sat up, holding the sheets over my chest, and listened. Nothing. Levi was either being quiet, or he wasn’t in the hotel room.
If it weren’t for the bond that pulled him toward me, I was certain he would have left already. Probably long ago.
With a sigh, I got up, grabbed a robe from his bathroom, tied it around myself, and paused at the bedroom’s door. I opened it, spied out into the common room. Yup, no sign of him. I felt both relaxed and worried about that. Where had he gone? Did he think it was a promising idea to be out there after what happened at the club last night?
Well, he was a grown demon. He knew what he was doing.
I hoped.
I crossed the common room into my bedroom—the bed untouched—and went directly to the bathroom, where I took a long, hot shower. After, I put on black leggings, a burgundy tank top, and left my leather jacket and my combat boots by the bed.
Another twenty minutes passed and I paced the communal area, worried. What if someone had found Levi? A demon or a bear shifter, and now?—
I stopped those thoughts. No, Levi was powerful. He had been able to get us out of a full nightclub. He could get away from a handful of demons if attacked.
Damn, I couldn’t sit still, so I picked up my phone and called him.
The door opened and Levi walked in—his phone vibrating in one hand, a brown bag in the other, and a small box wedged under his arm.
“Good morning, sweetheart,” he said, the lopsided grin on full display. “Worried about me?”
I almost winced.
All right. We were playing the last-night-didn’t-happen game, then.
“What do you have there?” My tone wasn’t as natural as his. He was probably used to one-night stands, but I wasn’t.
He set the brown bag on the small table—the table he had spread me over and …
I shook my head, pushing those thoughts away.
I focused on the bag and I saw it was from a diner.
“Breakfast,” Levi said, his voice tight. He placed the box on the counter that made up the kitchen. “And this … is a surprise.”
I frowned. Coming from him, I wasn’t so sure I liked surprises. Opening the bag, I got two coffee cups set in a holder, and two hot breakfast sandwiches. We sat down across from each other, and once again, it was hard not to remember what that table had been used for last night.
“What now?” I asked to occupy my mind. I needed something new to focus on. “What do we do?” I took a bite of my sandwich.
“This is where this comes in.” He pointed to the box. “It’s a fake witch’s wand.”
The wheels in my mind worked. Wands were rare and only the most powerful witches of certain covens had them. “This could interest Duncan.”
He nodded. “Enough to let us in his house.”
I frowned. “That’s a big if.”
“I know, but it’s all we got.” He sipped his coffee.
“How did you get it?” I asked, curious.
“I had a friend of mine make it and send it to me.”
A friend of his. I couldn’t see Levi with friends, just a bunch of people who owed him favors. “Okay, let’s say he invites us in because of the wand and I find my wings. Then what? We fight our way out? I bet someone like him has lots of lackeys.”
Levi set his coffee down. “He does, and that’s why I called mine.” I stared at him and he elaborated. “I called a dozen demons that work for me. They are coming to help us.” He showed me his dazzling grin. “Don’t worry, sweetheart, we’ll get your wings back.”
