Chapter 1
Ren rematerialized in the front room of The Witchâs Brew⦠right back in the same spot heâd disappeared from and glared down at the top of Lacey's head. She was sitting on the floor with her back to him holding and rocking Vincent like a damn baby⦠with his head pressed against her breasts no less. The muscles around his eyes tightened in irritation.
Lacey jerked her head up and frowned when the black lights in the room started to flicker, making her worry that the thunderstorm was going to take out the power here, like it had at the âMuseum of the Damnedâ. She flinched and tightened her hold on Vincent when a deafening crack of thunder slammed through the atmosphere, at the same second she saw the flash of lightning.
Vincent let a smirk pull at his lips when he noticed the man shaped shadow the lightning had fleetingly cast on the floor right beside them. Just for the hell of it, he snuggled his cheek deeper into Lacey's soft chest before murmuring, âI think your boyfriendâs back love.â
Lacey felt the tiny hairs on the back of her neck stand on end and dance. All of her brand-new paranormal senses were telling her that Ren was so close to her that, if she leaned back even slightly, she would feel his legs. She mentally blamed it on morbid curiosity and tilted her head back to look up. Sure enough⦠Ren was leaning over her and glaring down at the both of them.
That definitely wasn't the same gentle gaze heâd given her when heâd left only a few minutes ago and Lacey silently wondered what had happened to sour his mood when heâd returned to the museum. Before she could ask what his problem was, she felt the floor under her vibrate and swung her gaze around the room when everything started to rattle from what she was sure was an earthquake.
Ren gritted his teeth when he heard the crystals and other breakables in the room start vibrating off their shelves. Not in the mood to have the shop destroyed yet again, he stood to his full height and, with a resounding growl, focused his concentration on steadying the store until the quake moved past it.
Vincent pushed himself into a sitting position when the motion inside the store suddenly stopped but the streetlight right outside the front window continued to swing back and forth, casting a moving shadow in the room.
âWhat on earth is that?â Vincent asked softly when a cloud of dust and debris moved across the window almost obscuring the view of the street.
Ren didnât have to guess⦠he knew. He could feel the demons fleeing the destruction. Once the shockwave had passed he answered, âI do believe the city is now down one demon run museum seeing as how the building is no longer standing.â His gaze followed Vincent, who was now making his way toward the window and away from Lacey⦠smart man.
