Rohan’s arm shot out to the wall, blocking me. The two of us faced in
different directions. How apt.
“Move,” I said
He didn’t budge.
I stared resolutely ahead.
Finally he dropped his arm.
I pulled my keycard from my coat, walking directly to my room. No
passing go. No collecting $200.
“Don’t leave.” He spoke quietly but in the silence of the corridor, I
had no trouble hearing him.
My hands balled up. Hadn’t it been enough for one night? That thread
between us that had felt so comforting earlier threatened to strangle me now.
Anger fueled my turn. I would have welcomed a corresponding anger in him, but
the naked longing on his face and the defeat in the slope of his shoulders
undid me. That and his sincere, “I love watching you dance.”
The hallway was empty but it suddenly felt hard to breathe.
He held out a hand.
I leaned back. The magnetic push/pull between us demanded a certain
distance, a certain resistance, as much as attraction. Wrung out on every
level, I couldn’t afford to let Mr. Force-of-Nature Mitra take advantage of my
weakened boundaries to redefine our hook-ups into whatever vision he had of
them.
The air conditioning kicked in and I wrapped my arms around myself.
“When you see my shower, you’ll thank me.” He scrunched up his face, a
lock of hair falling boyishly over his eyes. “Nothing happens. Just sleep.”
I wasn’t sure if that sweetened the offer or not, but I nodded.
BLURB:
50%
boobs. 50% sarcasm. 100% new breed of hunter.
After a
bumpy start as the only female demon hunter in the top secret Brotherhood of
David, Nava Katz heads to Prague for her first undercover mission: unmasking a
demon movie star. She'd be all kinds of thrilled if it weren't for the fact
that her fellow hunter-with-benefits, Rohan Mitra, has reclaimed his rock star
status and assigned Nava the role of groupie.
Rejecting
her "be a good girl and follow orders" directive, Nava unleashes an
alter ego guaranteed to hook their celebrity target and drive Rohan crazy. No
downside-until she finds herself up against Rohan's past, the Brotherhood's
antiquated thinking, and her own identity issues, turning her personal life
into a bomb that could blow up the entire operation.
Sparkly
and deadly; it's a plan.
