whiff of sulphur a moment before he registered a
    familiar figure looming in the corner of the lobby. His heartbeat picked up to a frantic pace,
    despite his efforts to remain indifferent to his presence. The man was gorgeous. Dressed in
    dark denim, a black T-shirt, and a steel grey military jacket, Dreo still managed to look regal
    and imposing. His long fall of hair had been pulled back into a queue, allowing Gray to be
    hit with the full power of those amazing eyes. He nearly gasped aloud at the raw need he
    saw reflected there. Gray had hoped the Demon’s effect on him during their last meeting had
    been a fluke, never to be repeated. It was clear that was not the case.
    Doing his best to ignore the man, Gray walked his client over to Sarah, giving his
    assistant a brief explanation of what they needed to have set up. With their appointment
    finalized, Gray bid the gentleman farewell before turning his attention back to what he was
    now considering ‘his Demon’.

    “How can I help you today, Mr Demos?” The words were polite and professional. His
    suggestive tone was anything but. Gray drank in the sight of the tall Demon as he fought
    back the urge to climb his body like a tree. Man, did he want another taste of that.
    “There are many ways you can help me, Grayson Muir, but for now, we will settle for
    the matter of you taking on my case and discovering who killed our Lord. I have allowed
    you more than enough time to consider the matter,” Dreo stated firmly. “I need your answer.
    If I cannot secure your assistance, we will need to look into other means of resolving the
    situation.”
    Gray frowned. “When we spoke before, you insinuated that I was your only option to
    fix the problem. Now, you seem to be brimming with solutions. What’s changed?”
    Crossing his thick arms over his chest, Dreo scowled down at Gray. “I never said that
    you were our only solution, just the best one. We have other means of flushing out the
    perpetrator, however, they wouldn’t be as tactful as having you discover the truth.” Dreo
    shrugged, dismissively. “In lieu of other alternatives, we can always declare a hunt for the
    guilty party. Eventually, he or she will be brought to justice, but innocents may be harmed in
    the process. Utilising your gifts would help us minimise the reality of unwanted violence.”
    Dreo’s expression was fierce, further inciting the hunger building inside Gray. He was
    consumed with thoughts of his Demon stripping him bare and mounting him in the office
    lobby, without a care to may see their coupling. It was disconcerting to say the least. While
    Dreo’s expression was all business, Gray could see the barely contained fire in Dreo’s eyes.
    He wasn’t as unaffected as he might like to appear. Gray smirked, a sense of victory filling
    him.
    “Sarah! How’s the rest of my day looking?” He threw a look over his shoulder, smiling
    in the face of her scowl. She really hated when he shouted for her.
    “You’re clear for the rest of the weekend,” she announced a few key strokes later. “You
    don’t have another appointment until Monday afternoon.” Her smug expression made Gray
    want to pinch her. She knew he wasn’t happy about this job. He’d been hoping she would be
    a good friend and give him an out. Glowering at her lack of loyalty, he received a finger
    wave in response. Giving her up as a lost cause, he turned back to the sexy Demon who was
    staring at him expectantly.

    “Fine!” Exasperated, he grabbed his jacket off the stand by the door. “If you need
    anything, I’ll probably be unreachable. Hell gets terrible cell service.”
    Sarah laughed. “I’m sure I can hold the fort for a few days without anything
    catastrophic happening. You boys have fun.”
    “Yeah, that’s real great advice for someone taking a trip to the Underworld,” Gray
    grumbled. He left the office with the sound of
