No doubt his heart was pounding like Wren s. We re waiting out there. I don t have all day. I have shit to do. Fallon opened up the door and walked out. Give us a minute, Sebastian called. For making us wait, you can walk the hard-on walk of shame. Adjust and let s go, Fallon yelled. Wren blushed for the first time in a century. It was going to take some time to get used to Fallon. 70 Warming Up Sebastian Hell, who was he kidding, he might never get used to the god. They walked out hand in hand only to find Fallon kneeling next to Duncan. He was whispering soft words to Duncan, and Duncan was nodding back. Wren couldn t make out the conversation. Fallon rubbed Duncan s sweaty hair out of his face before he stood. Those that are staying behind need to go and get cloths and put them in the freezer until they get cold enough, then use cold cloths on his back. I have a salve in the Underworld that will help him, and I ll bring it back to you. That s about the only ointment that will help him. Night went over next to Duncan, reaching but not touching his back. You know why he s blistering like this? I do. Fallon didn t elaborate. Care to share? Night glared at Fallon. No. Fallon turned and opened up the front door. Let s go. Raven, you re coming, too. I don t think so. Raven stood at the doorframe. You re coming, or I call the whole thing off. Now, are you coming? Fallon zeroed in on Raven, staring hard at him. Wren wasn t sure what the hell was going on with Fallon and his obsession with Raven, but he knew that he was going to have to discuss it with Night. 71 Stephani Hecht and Jackie Nacht Could they be mates? It didn t seem likely. Fallon was a full god and wouldn t he have mentioned a tattoo to them? Or Raven, would he have been able to so vehemently resist his mate? Wren knew when fate had him meet Sebastian, it was everything he could do to keep his hands off him. Raven growled, Blackmail? Fallon smirked. Persuasion. Raven angrily walked out the front door. Wren thought he would actually see steam come off Raven, but if he wasn t mistaken, there was a definite bulge in the front of Raven s pants. Did he like the challenge? Wren followed the rest out the front. Night went to get into an SUV, and Fallon stopped him. We re not going that way. Grab a hold of me. Aww shit, Fallon. You know how this makes me sick. Sebastian grabbed Fallon s arm before grabbing Wren s hand and placing it on Fallon s shoulder. The rest followed, all looking at each other uneasily. One moment, they were standing in front of their home, and the next, they were on the side of some building in downtown Atlanta. Wren didn t even have a second to adjust before he was bending over puking his guts. 72 Warming Up Sebastian Chapter Seven ebastian took several deep breaths so he S wouldn t vomit like Wren was doing. Damn, but he hated when Fallon took him on his special rides. They never failed to leave him nauseated and wobbling around like a drunken circus clown. Raven took a couple of steps back, then dropped onto his butt. Fallon, of course, was more than eager to help the fallen warrior back to his feet. He grabbed ahold of Raven s hands and tugged him up. Thank you, but you can let go of me now, Raven said in a tight voice. I was just making sure you had your balance first, Fallon said with an innocence he d never had and never would possess. Sebastian rolled his eyes and instantly regretted it when the motion sent him on his ass. Shit, but he hated the after effects of popping in and out of places. It was one of the good things about only being a demi-god instead of a full one, like Fallon. 73 Stephani Hecht and Jackie Nacht And to think that Sebastian used to be a tad jealous of Fallon when they were younger. After a few moments, when they all gathered their bearings and stood, Sebastian asked, Okay, so what do we do now? We need to find some Blood Demons and see if we can walk by them undetected, Wren said. That shouldn t be so hard. This place is reeking of them. Raven wrinkled his nose. Sebastian had to agree. With as many guys who were wearing all black, had grayish complexions and soulless eyes, it looked like the entire town was swarming. Okay, does everybody have their necklaces on? Night asked, adjusting his own obol on his neck. Sebastian knew he had his on, but he still put his hand around his neck to make sure. After all, one couldn t be too careful when fighting Blood Demons. Then making sure that his large trench coat was hiding his weapons from view of all the humans, he nodded to the others he was ready to go. They walked out from the side of the building and into the clearing that led to the main area of the campus. A group of Blood Demons were walking right in their direction. Each step closer, Sebastian s breath quickened. Another step, his heart beat faster. Another step and Sebastian 74 Warming Up Sebastian swore he could hear the bead of sweat that fell from the tip of his nose. Then before Sebastian knew it, they were side- by-side with the Blood Demons. Sebastian tensed, waiting for them to attack or at least give some indication that they knew the Birds of Prey and Sebastian were there. But the Blood Demons didn t even give them a second glance. Sebastian held in a breath. While he trusted Fallon, a part of him still couldn t believe that the coins had worked. It just seemed too good to be true. They could actually have some freedom in life and not be hunted all the time. Sebastian couldn t wait to get back to the others and tell them. Aaron and David were going to be so excited. I knew Fallon wouldn t let us down, Sebastian bragged. Say what you want, but I saw the fear in your eyes when those Blood Demons were coming, Raven snarked. Can t you smack him around a little bit for me or something? Sebastian asked Wren. Wren rubbed his hand up and down Sebastian s back. Not while we re on a mission. Maybe later on when we get back home and there are no witnesses. 75 Stephani Hecht and Jackie Nacht Fallon let out a small growling noise. Nobody better lay a hand on him or they will know my wrath. The warriors all looked shocked, but Sebastian just laughed. Ease up with the drama, Fall, I was just kidding. I wouldn t do any harm to Raven. I know he s hands-off. I don t belong to him, so stop acting like I do, Raven snarled between gritted teeth. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
