Hearing footsteps and the sound of voices coming from the boundary of trees down the short hill he was standing on, Damon stepped around the corner of the shed and went to investigate. This edge of the cemetery was lined with tall, stately pines that separated it from a suburban neighborhood.
Being this close to houses, Damon was curious as to why no one had heard anything during the night and come to investigate. There were a few times he thought hed seen the shimmer of a barrier around the property but dismissed it as part of his imagination. If a barrier had been put in place, then maybe the demon hunters werent as useless as hed assumed.
He was almost to the tree line when two men emerged from it, but they stopped when they saw him. Seeing the white outline of a structure through the trees, he summarized that the main maintenance building was probably on the other side of them and these men had just shown up for work.
These guys couldnt have used any of the major roads to get there theyd been blocked off. Add to that the fact Damon hadnt heard any car engines approaching told him the men lived within walking distance of this cemetery.
Good morning, Damon said closing the distance between them so he could put them under his thrall.
The two men frowned at him. There had been a lot of strange things going on in the graveyard the last couple days and it made them suspicious of anyone who looked like trouble and the guy walking toward them fit that description to a T.
The one with a white tank top under his unbuttoned uniform shirt spoke in an authoritative manner. Can we help you? Visitors are not supposed to be hanging out near the equipment.
Damon nodded, focusing his vibrant amethyst eyes on them, almost smirking when their expressions mellowed out into a dazed state. Actually, Im here to help you by letting you know that you have already finished your work for the day. Your employer said to go back to the maintenance shed and relax until your shift is over. You do not remember seeing me and if anyone asks you worked hard all day.
The second worker with his uniform shirt buttoned up and looking more professional glanced over at his co-worker. Its time to try out that TV you hooked up in the shed.
Yeah, lets go catch Jerry Springer, worker number two said in a stupor.
Damon smirked and waited until they were completely out of sight. Once the humans were gone, he turned to start walking back up the hill when he saw an impressive mound of dirt go flying into the air. When he made it back to the top of the hill to check on Alicias progress, his expression darkened.
She was now fighting not one but three Skitters at the same time and it looked like she was having a hard time of it. A deep growl rumbled in his chest when one of them knocked Alicia to the ground with a bone-jarring thud.
Alicia lay there staring up from where shed been thrown. Everything had been going good until Spinnan number two and three decided to show up and have a tag team. Damon had been helping her out and when nothing happened to the other two right away shed looked around for him.
Not finding him anywhere, shed felt a little bit of happiness and frustration at the same time. Happiness because she thought he was allowing her to fight it out and frustration that he wasnt there to witness her kicking all three of their asses. Lifting her head up off the ground, she was about to push herself back to her feet when the Spinnan suddenly froze. They stood there for a second before abruptly shattering like glass.
Alicia covered her face with her arms to avoid getting hit with the debris. Thankfully, all of the bits and pieces had blown outward and away from her. When she lowered her arms, she found Damon standing there, straddling her lower legs and looking just as angry as ever. She flinched when he suddenly held his hand out offering to help her up.
Damn it Damon, I could have taken them if youd just given me a chance, she said while grasping his hand.
Damon gently pulled her to her feet and flush against his chest. Alicia was about to protest when she saw the tightness of his jaw and the hardness in his amethyst eyes. Her temper vanished realizing she had unintentionally scared him.
The rule is one monster at a time, Damon growled, gearing up for an argument he intended to win. He was taken by surprise when Alicia wrapped her hand behind his head, making sure to thread her fingers through his hair before pulling him down for a mind-blowing kiss.
When they finally pulled away from each other, Damon growled again and pushed Alicia back against the side of the shed hed been leaning on earlier. The growl would have sounded threatening to most, but to Alicia it was sexy as hell.
Youre not allowed to do that, Damon instructed softly.
Alicia looked up at him with feigned innocence shining in her eyes. Not allowed to do what?
Damon brushed his cheek against hers, his lips barely touching her skin before hovering near the shell of her ear. Youre not allowed to distract me.
Oh, Alicia whispered seductively. You mean like this?
She rose up on her tiptoes and kissed him again, this time their tongues twining intimately with each other. When Damon pushed his thigh between hers, she spread her legs and pressed down. Liking the sensation, she started rocking back and forth on him. Her eyes slammed shut when Damon lifted his leg and her feet left the ground.
This is a first, Alicia panted when their mouths separated.
Damon smirked, You started it. His smile vanished and his eyes darkened to a deep amethyst, Now Im going to end it.
Alicia couldnt help but whimper and wrapped her legs around his waist, rubbing against the erection she could feel growing behind Damons zipper.
Damon roughly pressed her against the shed wall and unabashedly ripped her shirt open. His hands found her breasts, tantalizing the hardened peaks beneath the lace before unfastening her jeans.
Alicia lowered her legs and let Damon slowly push her jeans down. She stepped out of the denim around her ankles and lifted her legs around his waist again. Damon smirked while he worked his zipper open and freed himself from the confines.
Shifting their positions, he exhaled harshly as he thrust his hips upward at the same time he brought Alicia down on his erection. Alicia cried out and her head connected with the concrete wall behind her. Damon rolled his hips at a punishing pace, making sure she fully understood what it meant to distract him.
Alicia opened her eyes and grabbed on to Damons shoulders, pulling him closer to her. His head dipped and he sucked a nipple deep into his mouth. Alicia gasped at the sensations and arched against him. As hard as he was driving into her, it felt like her body was convulsing with each thrust.
A sound behind Damon made her glance up and her eyes went to half-mast when she saw a Skitter running up behind them. Apparently, the demon thought they were vulnerable and sought to take advantage of the situation.
Skitter at twelve oclock, Alicia whispered breathlessly.
She watched the creature shatter with Damons power and moaned loudly when he started thrusting harder. He was like a man possessed hard, fast, bordering on pain and she loved it.
On the right, Alicia warned.
Another Skitter met its maker and Damon lifted his head from her breasts. Taking her wrists in his hands, he pinned them to the wall behind her and bared his sharp fangs.

Come for me, he growled when he felt Alicias soft walls start flexing around him in the same rhythm he was pounding into her.
Alicia ignored his demand and turned her head to the side to avoid looking him in the eyes. She was trying to hold on as long as she could because despite what other people might think making love in the middle of a cemetery was hotter than hell. The fact they could be caught by anyone at any time made it all the better.
Do it, Damon rumbled viciously against her ear.
He was barely holding on by a thread but, like her, he wanted it to last and come to completion at the same time. They were both so turned on by the idea of being caught and killing demons while doing it that neither one of them were in any shape to last much longer.
Alicia cried out and finally gave in turning her gaze back to Damons heated one. The coil in her belly was wound so tight that she was sure it would break. More movement from behind Damon made her look over his shoulder and she gasped.
Behind you, she managed in a ragged whisper.
Damon smirked and extended his power toward the attacking Skitter. At the same moment it shattered, Alicias body tightened around him like a vise and she screamed her release to the sky above them. Damon followed a few heavy thrusts later, filling her with his seed once again claiming her body and soul.
They remained pressed against one another, breathing heavily as their heartbeats began the process of slowing down. Damon was so proud of his little hellcat, she was just as demented when it came to sex as he was and that was what made it so damn hot.
Finally, Damon pulled back a little and gave her a soft smile. They both moaned when he removed himself from her and let her legs drop from around his waist. Looking her up and down, he had to admit she made one sexy-as-hell vision.
Her shirt was ripped down the front with the lacy cups of her bra pushed down to reveal her bare breasts to the morning sunlight. It was the first time he realized that she wasnt wearing any panties nor were they tangled in her jeans still bunched on the ground.
How do we explain the shirt? Alicia asked when she looked down at herself.
We dont, Damon answered with a smirk.
*****
Warren and Devon circled around the Skitter that had crossed their path. It was hissing viciously at them and swiping its long claws. With a shared look, both jaguars attacked. Devon managed to grab one of the arms between his fangs while Warren was able to get a back leg. The Skitter began screaming when they started pulling in opposite directions.
Putting more strength behind it, Devon abruptly jerked his head to the left. The arm gave and Devon backed away with the dismembered arm in his mouth. Warren dropped the leg and took a few steps back when Devon pounced and sank his fangs into the demons neck.
Warren sat down and started cleaning himself when he heard the unmistakable sound of another Skitter just beyond a cluster of trees. Looking back at the skitter that Devon was finishing off, he decided that everything was in good hands and went to investigate.
Devon saw Warren leave out of the corner of his eye and quickly killed the Skitter before jumping off its back. Dropping the head, Devon shook himself and turned in the direction Warren had gone. Theyd tag-teamed since joining up with one another and Devon was having a blast.
Hed gone a few feet when another Skitter dropped from a tree directly in front of him. A deep growl erupted from his throat and he hunkered close to the ground preparing to pounce. His feline eyes narrowed when he noticed that this one looked extremely agitated.
They stared into each others angry eyes before the Skitter hunkered down in mimicry of what the jaguar was doing. Devon growled and leapt toward the demon, intent on killing it quickly. The Skitter leapt at the same time and the two collided in midair.
Devons claws swiped at the Skitter but missed, however the Skitters strike directly at his head was dead on. The Skitter landed unharmed on all fours while Devons unconscious body landed with a thump knocking him out cold.
The Skitter hissed victoriously, ambling over to the jaguar and grabbing one of its hind legs with a long clawed hand. Dragging the huge cat across the cemetery behind it in the opposite direction its partner had gone, the Skitter approached a small crypt. Opening the door, the Skitter placed the jaguar inside before backing up and staring down at the animal for a moment.
Its head tilted at an odd angle as if it was deciding the best way to kill its prey instead, it simply backed out of the crypt. The creature returned moments later dragging two of its dead brethren through the damp grass. Dropping them beside the unconscious jaguar, it moved back out of the crypt and shut the door, locking it with the loosely hanging bolt lock.
Without looking back, the Skitter ran at top speed across the cemetery, avoiding the demon hunters scattered across the property. Making its way to a side road, it stopped and appeared to take a deep breath before its body began to shift.
Within the passing of a few seconds the Skitter was gone and in its place stood Trevor.
Rolling his neck and shoulders before dipping down to pick up the clothes he had discarded, Trevor calmly stepped into Eveys view. Hed backtracked to the cemetery and parked her there before re-entering the graveyard saying he was checking on the progress of the battle. Once he was out of sight of his car, hed shifted into one of the Skitters and put his plan into action. Now all he needed to do was get dressed and finish his self-appointed mission.
Trevor combed his fingers through his hair in agitation he didnt like what hed just done but still allowed the small smile to form on his face. When Evey opened the drivers door for him, he closed the distance between them. Trevor paused when he heard a fox whistle coming from her.
Looking down at his naked body, he wondered what Ren was thinking when hed given Evey such a human personality. It was a good thing the car had no idea what hed just done otherwise hed been in a world of shit.
Such a magnificent specimen, Eveys voice teased.
You hush, Trevor growled and quickly dressed. He slid behind the wheel knowing he would only have a couple of hours before Devon woke up. This would have to be fast if he wanted to get away with it.
Trevor was silent as he drove Evey to another secluded spot and shut off the car. He sat there for a few minutes with his eyes closed wondering if he was doing the right thing.
Is everything all right Trevor? Evey asked softly.
Im fine Evey, Trevor said. I need you to do something really important for me. Ive got a secret mission that I need to finish. No one else in PIT is to know about this its top secret. He cringed at what he was about to say next, Storm doesnt want any reports filed on this and you cant say anything to anyone.
Evey was quiet for a moment, How long will you be? she asked.
Only a couple of hours, Trevor answered. It wont be too long.
Be careful, Evey said then the dash lights went dark.
Trevor got out of the car and started walking down the street. Once he was out of Eveys sight, he shifted once more this time into Devon Santos and jogged the rest of the way to Chads place. Walking into the house using the spare key Envy had forgotten to take back from him, he made his way through the quiet apartment.
