“Maybe in order to get the preternatural world to leave me alone…I should stop sleeping with half of it.”
“Huh?”
Oops. My internal dialogue must be broken. I grinned at the gorgeous pair sitting across from me and shrugged. “Nothing, guys. I’m just sorta tired. And possibly drunk.”
Twins! They were twins! Wait, is this internal? Checking…yes. Okay, these guys were twins--freaking gorgeous twins! And yes, they were supernatural twins, although I wasn’t quite sure what sort of supernatural race I was looking at here. Both had fine, shoulder-length hair that tried to be silver and white at the same time, both were very sharp-featured, and both had horns. What
was
it with horned guys and me lately? They were twisted horns that curled back over their heads and almost as white as their hair.
I just wanted to stroke them.
Both were on the slender side--slender, not skinny. With those sharp features, it also made them appear extremely androgynous. Wait, now that I was really looking at them, I wasn’t sure what I was seeing. Their nails were rather longer than most men wear them, and perfectly manicured. Their mouths were soft and almost effeminate, and I couldn’t tell if those red lips were natural or lipstick. Their lashes were dark with either natural coloring or mascara, and was that eyeliner?
Not that I’m all that picky about gender, mind you. There was this elf girl once…
Right, getting distracted now.
Both were wearing fishnet shirts, leather pants and buckled, steel-and-leather boots. Part of their hair was pulled back and knotted on the back of their heads, held in place with singular silver chopsticks. One had a silver hoop in his left ear; the other had one in his right. Both were drinking snakebites (half cider and half lager), and both were grinning quite charmingly at me…
…with really, really
sharp
fangs.
Okay, vampires don’t have horns…so what did that leave?
“Demons?” I asked curiously, pointing at them both.
They glanced at each other, smiling.
“She has good eyes,” said the one on the left.
“And good knowledge,” said the other.
“And belief.”
“And spectacular breasts.”
Demon Left blinked at Demon Right, who shrugged and grinned sheepishly. “Well, she does.”
I giggled into my Coke and rum. “Aww, you’re just saying that to get me into bed.”
They looked at each other, then at me. “Did it work?”
Ah, unison. And I was so damn drunk. Twin demon guys were speaking in unison at me.
Sexy
twin demon guys. And I was
so
damn drunk. I jerked a thumb over my shoulder.
“I live about three blocks away,” I announced carefully, trying not to slur my words. “’f you can get me home, you can stay the night and do wicked, naughty things to me.”
“Including your breasts?” Demon Right asked hopefully.
“Yup.”
They looked at each other again, grinning hugely. “All riiiiiight!”
Demons can move really fast--
really
fast. The minute they got me outside and figured out where my apartment was, I got hoisted onto one of their backs and we were off! Over the river and through the woods, to Briar Rose’s loft we went. Okay, that’s never going to be a song, but you get the idea.
They let me make about three passes at the lock before Demon Left took the key away and unlocked the door for me. Demon Right slung me over his shoulder and as soon as Left opened the door, both were rushing for the loft and my bed. I just giggled and grabbed Right’s ass through his pants, getting a startled noise for my efforts.
“She’s playful,” Right commented to his brother.
