dilated like they had earlier. He’d have popped a hard-on if her brother
wasn’t in the room.
Navine shook her head, her silky black locks flipping around
her face and she squeezed her eyes shut.
“Is the addiction getting the better of you?” Baden asked,
his voice rough with emotion.
She opened her eyes, slammed her hand into the blanket and
hissed. “It’s him.” She pointed at Fin.
“Navie—”
“Just give me a minute alone. Be out in a sec.”
Baden didn’t look convinced but he followed Fin out of the
room, closing the door behind him. Raimee sat at the table, one hand holding
her chin, the other tapping the table top.
“Everything okay?” she asked. When Fin and Baden just looked
at each other, she said, “Well, I’m starving,” and grabbed a slice of pizza.
Baden and Fin each grabbed a slice too. A minute later, Navine
came out smiling, which surprised him. He figured she’d be wearing her Fin-is-a-fucking-mutant-and-I-want-him-dead
look. Her face was still flushed and he realized the smile was a show for her
brother.
“Navie, this is Raimee.”
“Hey,” Raimee said cheerfully.
“Hey yourself,” Navine returned. She turned to Baden and
asked, “Girlfriend?”
Fin didn’t miss the blush on Baden’s face. “No, just a new
friend.”
Navine found her pizza, picked out two slices and grabbed a
cherry beer from the fridge. She used her fingers to pick off chunks of fruit
and pop them into her mouth. “Ah, yeah. That’s good stuff, Bade.”
He grinned at his sister, obviously happy she wasn’t
berating him. “So, you doing okay? Need anything?”
She shrugged. “I’m okay.” The for now hung in the
air. “Some alone time would be nice. Can you get me that?” She cut Baden off
before he could answer. “Never mind.”
Raimee broke in, “So, how long have you and Fin been dating?”
Fin choked on his beer. Baden choked on his pizza. Navine’s
mouth dropped open, then she snapped it shut and gave Raimee one helluva glare.
“He is not my-my- anything . Can’t you sense what he is, Sensus
demon ?”
Raimee wasn’t fazed by the outburst. “No, he’s cloaked, but
I know what he is. So what? Look at him. He’s gorgeous. Fine specimen of male
right there.”
Navine’s eyes bugged. “But he’s,” she glanced at Fin and
back to Raimee, “you know.”
Fin knew she wanted to say mutant but probably feared
he’d kiss her in front of her brother. Probably mostly feared her body would
respond to him again.
Raimee raised her shoulders to her ears and let them fall
quickly. “Not an issue for me. Was a little shocked when I heard but hey, I say
again, look at him.” She waggled her brows.
Navine couldn’t believe this bitch was flirting with Caffin.
She’d come here with her brother, for fuck’s sake and she could tell Baden
liked her. Oh he might not know it yet, but a sister could always tell.
“Well then please take him with you when you leave,” she
said sarcastically.
Raimee turned to Fin and winked. “I might just do that.”
Fin and Baden made a few attempts at lighter conversation
but it mostly fell flat. Navine didn’t like that female. Fucking Sensus
demons. Not many species of demon cared for Sensus demons or Empath demons. They were too damn dangerous. Screwing with emotions and auras was
considered much more egregious than beating the crap out of someone or slitting
their throat.
Wait a second. Is that why Baden brought her here? She
jumped out of her chair. “Oh hell no. Hell no, Bade! You’ve already made me a
captive to him . You’re not having your friend work her fucked up
magic on me. I will hate you forever! And you ,” she directed at
Raimee, “I will kill you if you try any of that shit on me!”
With that, she stormed out of the cabin, slamming the door
behind her. The hell if she would stick around for that. She’d stroll around the
woods for a while and hopefully they’d all leave soon so she could die in
peace.
