before delivering the death blow.
“You love this, don’t you?” remarked Kier.
Before she said anything, he was in front of her, clasping her head with his free hand as he bent down for a deep kiss. She didn’t fight him. She actually encouraged it, bringing her bound hand to his waist and the other to his shoulder to pull him closer. As his tongue pushed into her mouth, not only did she allow it, but she met it with her own.
She needed this. The bloody bodies and the rooms full of debris faded away as he kissed her. They won. They were alive and they needed this contact.
The kiss ended as soon as it had started. Kier pulled away and looked down at her. “There might be more. We need to leave.” His gaze at her now swollen mouth said that he wanted to do anything but leave the bedroom, but she knew he was right. Demons liked to travel in packs.
Muriel grabbed her small collection of magical shirts and bras before they cautiously left the bedroom. Kier walked out first, wielding the machete close, prepared to strike at the slightest sign of danger.
“What happened to there just being two in the house?”
“Apparently one was quieter than the rest. Does it matter? We took care of him easy enough,” pointed out Kier.
This wasn’t the time to argue, so Muriel let it drop.
The coast was clear through the entryway and kitchen. Kier picked up his jacket and handed it to Muriel to pack away with her own clothes. He paused at the door as they looked out on the street. “Which car is yours?”
Muriel pointed to a rusty old Ford parked on the street and Kier rolled his eyes. “Seriously? You drive that?”
Muriel got defensive. “The engine is in much better shape than the body. I love that car. It’s gotten me through a lot.”
“Well, it’s about to get you through a lot more. Did you notice the black SUV?”
Muriel nodded as she looked out at the imposing vehicle that sat across the street. “Unfortunately. My car is closer than theirs, though,” she said with a hopeful tone.
“We might be able to reach the car before they do, but do you think we can out-drive them? You say the engine is good?”
Muriel bit her lip. The engine was good, but nothing amazing. On the other hand, SUVs weren’t known for being fast. “I can shoot out the tires,” she offered.
Kier looked her over, and she almost thought he looked impressed. “You did have good aim with that demon.”
“I practice a lot.”
“I could tell,” he said. She was much too happy with his words of praise. “If you think you can, I’m game. We both have to get in the driver’s side. You probably won’t have a clear shot until we’re in the car, and the demons are going to be coming at us by then. I will be focusing on getting us the hell out of here, so you’ll be on your own.”
She arched an eyebrow at that. “I think I can handle a whole thirty seconds without your protection.”
“I hope you’re right, because if you die, I go too,” he reminded her.
“Let’s just get this over with.” She hated that her abilities were in question. She hated that she was the slowest and weakest player on the field. She handed Kier the keys to her car. “This is all your fault,” she hissed as Kier pushed the door open and they ran out into the sunlight.
The next minute went quickly. She ran as fast as she could, but she knew she was slowing Kier down. When they reached the gold Ford, Kier wrenched open the door and pushed her into the passenger seat. She looked out the window and saw the two demons were already out of the SUV and running at her.
She supposed that she should be happy they didn’t just teleport over to her, but it was probably pointless to teleport such a short distance.
She could open the door to get a clear shot at the tires, but that would make it too easy for the demons to pull her out of the car. She decided the best course was to wait until the car was started and push the window down. The damn thing had
