might find himself a little frazzled.
    “I take it they heard?”
    “You think?” Pokie sighed. “Sorry, for sounding snarky. They’ve been at this for a while now and I’ve run out of weed and ear plugs.”
    “Put me on speakerphone.” I drummed my fingers on the bar as I waited for Pokie to turn on the intercom. As soon as it clicked, I did my thing. “Hey, dumb asses. Stop fucking yelling at each other like bloody idiots and figure out where Azazel’s evil ass is.
    I’m pregnant, remember, and not in the mood for this shit. Oh, and Auric, when you pop your ass back to this bar to protect me, you’d better bring some of cook’s famous jalapeño pie. Baby’s hungry.”
    I didn’t wait for a response. I hung up. The princess had spoken.
    My glare stifled the laughter in the bar. I’d given up recently trying to keep my parentage a secret. Not that it accorded me more respect from regulars, but at least now, the damned assassins knew where to come looking. Kicking their asses helped keep me in shape and kept my boys on their toes.
    I threw myself into my work, trying not to let thoughts of Azazel on the loose bother me. Him I could handle with one hand tied behind my back. My growling stomach on the other hand was driving me insane.
    Auric showed up about an hour later, the picture of calm. He handed me a heavy basket filled to the brim with goodies. As I munched with a great appetite, he related to David and me things we already knew like Azazel’s escape and things we didn’t, like the major demon hunt going on for his capture.
    “Your dad’s also sending us one of his hunters, just back from the wild, for added protection.”
    “More bodyguards?” I restrained a sigh. I didn’t have just myself to think of anymore. Look at me thinking of the baby first. Hey, maybe this mommy thing won’t be so bad after all. As I peered into the empty basket though, I did find myself worrying about my waist line. At the rate I’m eating, I’ll need my own zip code soon.
    Business in my bar, Nexus, resumed albeit with Auric present. Most nights he just popped in and out as he went about his mysterious errands. I joked he was on a quest to save the world but in truth, I never quite knew what he was up to. I trusted him. For me that was all I needed to know.
    The evening passed in familiar comfort with patrons coming and going. They drank and filled my pockets with their ill earned money, the best kind.
    About an hour before closing, the main door opened and a cool breeze wafted over me waking my magic’s hunger. What the fuck? I turned to see what made my magical leech stretch and saw a familiar handsome dude.
    Fang boy had found me and elation battled with panic. If I’d been behind the bar I would have simply slipped into the back and avoided him. But out in the open, setting up the karaoke machine for the next night, I was stuck. A hide and seek player without a spot to hide, in other words, a loser about to get caught. Karma was such a bitch, aunt or not.
    With a smile that made my tummy tingle in ways that made me feel guilty, the vamp headed towards me, a dark presence that caught the attention of all the women in the bar and the male demon dressed as one—I tended to attract a wide gamut of patrons. But that’s not the only attention he drew. Before I knew it, my men flanked me; my fallen angel on one side and my bristling kitty on the other. It would have been hot if not for the upcoming and totally predictable testosterone match. I personally cringed, but my libido screamed Take off your clothes boys before you start fighting! What could I say, even in the midst of a crisis, my slutty side thought ahead.
    Fangalicious smiled at me and I really wished for a hole to open up beneath me and swallow me whole before my dirty, and yet titillating secret, came out. I squirmed as my cheeks blushed in guilt. Silly me, I should have probably admitted the accidental kiss to my boys, but then I would have to admit I
