When I finally matured, my wings fell away along with my tail. And my power rose so much so, it allowed me to control my gravitational field. I could manipulate it as I wished.
Fatou sped off in the car.
Where are you going now, Fatou?
I hovered overhead and sped along behind her, drifting several feet above the car and keeping the vehicle’s pace.
Twenty minutes later, we arrived at a three-level hotel.
I frowned in disgust.
Cracked lime green and sea blue paint covered the outer walls of this ramshackle building. Drugged-out prostitutes stumbled back and forth in front of the building, while cars, with their lights off, lined the streets waiting for them. Some of the girls leaned against their vehicles and smoked cigarettes.
A cracked neon sign proclaimed ‘Paradise Inn: Cheap Hourly Rates.
I hoped Fatou hadn’t been staying here long.
Was I the sole reason for your visit? Or are there other incubi here?
A wino pissed on the right side of the sign. The stench of liquor and urine floated from his wrinkled skin.
This depresses me.
I found Fatou as she parked and floated high above her.
She stepped out of the car and held the cell phone against her pointed ear. She had that ridiculous wig on again. “Adae, for the tenth time. No. I did not see Azar in the club.”
How did Adae trick you into working for him?
“Enough, Adae. There’s no reason for me to further search Azar out.” Fatou stormed off. “I’m going after the Boto Brothers. My flight leaves for Brazil in the morning.”
The Boto Brothers?
I shook my head. Those demons would tear her sweet flesh apart in seconds.
My rage at Adae soared to a new level, which was saying a lot since the sorcerer had bound me to years of slavery several times. Each time, I’d broken free. He was never able to keep me for too long.
Although Adae was human, he’d been around this planet as long as me, if not longer. I never knew how he figured out immortality.
My favorite dream was watching the breath escape his pale lips as I finally choked the life out of him.
“Can we get off of Azar, please?” She strolled over to the wino, handed him a few dollars, and crossed the parking lot.
“Thank you.” He flashed a huge grin and scurried away. “Tonight is my lucky night.”
“No, Adae.” She nodded and hurried away. “I don’t need another hunter with me. I’ve got this.”
Still cloaking myself, I lowered to her level and continued to float.
“Hell, no.” She spat the words out into the phone. “I do this by myself. I’m not splitting the money.”
She is stubborn as well as gorgeous.
I grinned, knowing she’d probably made Adae’s life a living hell.
“Well, I’m going after the Boto Brothers whether you give me your permission or not.” She rolled those violet eyes. She must have taken the contacts off when she first got in the car. “Yeah. Yeah, Adae. Let’s face it. We both know you’ll take the brothers if I bring them to you.”
My body tensed. My excitement in seeing her darkened. She couldn’t go after the brothers by herself.
Years ago, Adae had sent three hunters to capture them. A day had barely passed when the hunters’ heads were delivered to the sorcerer’s castle in a purple gift-wrapped box.
“Not that again.” She shifted the phone to her other ear. Those sexy heels clicked across the pavement.
I could make out the outline of her perfect ass, remembering how soft it felt against me. Her dress’s candy apple red fabric clung to each curve. My erection returned, pushing against my pants. I grinned at the effect she had on me.
I probably should turn around now.
She headed to the outer stairs and raced up to the second level, her ass wiggling under the dress. “I don’t care about your sources. Azar was gone.”
I flew in toward Fatou and stood barely a foot behind her. The night breeze rushed past me.
She stopped in front of a gray door and glanced over her shoulder, unable to see me under my cloaking, but I’m sure she sensed something.
She’s really good.
She turned back around. “Adae, I’m telling you that your sources are wrong. We’re wasting our time on this.”
I boldly touched one of her silver dreadlocks as it peeked out of the wig.
She quickly turned around and pulled out her keys from a small black purse. “Adae, that wasn’t the deal. I erase my husband’s debt, and you let my daughter go. That’s that.”
My body stiffened.
She has a daughter and a husband?
Turning back around, she opened the door. “The debt said nothing about capturing Azar.”
A creak sounded from the hinges.
I dived into the room behind her, blocking the door with my foot so it wouldn’t close.
The door stayed open.
“It was only a price tag.” She hadn’t noticed, still talking into the phone with her back to me.
