A spigot streaming her thoughts turned on in his mind. He wasn't sure if he was losing his mind but he thought he felt the image she'd placed on his back tingling and burning faintly. He rolled his shoulders and clenched his jaws. Not because it was painful but because he was steeling himself to toughen up and get acquainted with her presence last he fall into the trap of being….wrong.
No.
That would not do.
He would not lower himself to being wrong.
He would just suck it up.
Her thoughts desiring him were not so bad to feel anyway.
Owen let her show off. Though his face was a neutral mask, there was no hiding his interest in her display of powers. Conjuring shit out of thin air. Neat. He thought about having an everything bagel with cream cheese as they took the stairs down to the first landing of his home.
"You should really avoid initiating spontaneous conversation until you get the feel for the place. People can be tricky. And they're always trying to figure things out about each other and use that to fuck each other. Okay? Just be cautious."
He put his hand between her shoulder blades to usher her from his house to his car and again from his car inside the menacing CAF central command base. In the early mornings the base was still shrouded in dusk-like shade. The sun rose behind the mountain the base was built into. The sun's rays wouldn't touch the building until later morning when it was approaching its zenith and when the sunset the face of the building burned with red and orange.
Owen ushered her inside the building and escorted her to security where she would be issued an employee I.D. He found it amusing to fill out the paperwork and have her photographed. Rubber stamping her fake identity was too easy. Child's play.
Once she was made official, he took her straight to his own office to work on the game plan for the day. His office was as severe as home was. Dark and heavy and sparsely furnished. Only what was necessary and not much else. The stark minimalism was his signature style.
His office wasn't as minimal as he expected it to be, as it was inhabited by his best friend. Maeve Reed, resident demonologist, arcanist, and busybody.
"Dr. Reed." He had the gall to act as if she were unwelcome. Not that it would make her go away. So rarely did his moods chase her off. Which is how they became friends. She refused to go the fuck away.
"Good morning." He didn't say anything further. Didn't introduce his demon secretary or address her newness at all.
No.
That would not do.
He would not lower himself to being wrong.
He would just suck it up.
