Dane's a Decrypter down on his luck -- after accidentally dispatching the wrong creature, he's sent to a small town where the cryptids he hunts are sparse. Crypt Coffee becomes his business front, but instead of a thrilling new mission on the side, he's stuck sending ghosts back to where they came from. Dane can annoy customers, at least, and tries to scare off Professor Sean Sanderson when he starts poking around too much.<br><br>But Sean isn’t about to stay away. Not when he hears about the murder of a former student, and definitely not if young, exciting Dane has information about it. But the more he allows himself to get dragged into this supernatural world of monsters and ghosts, the more the danger escalates. And if Sean and Dane aren’t careful, tracking down a murderer who can use magic might just get them killed.

Bad Seed

Sean undid the button on Dane’s jeans and he pulled back.


“Seriously? You want me to fuck you on the stairs?”


“You’re surprised? Or you don’t have a condom?” Sean’s chest heaved as he looked up at him, and Dane swallowed. Dane wanted very, very much to fuck Sean roughly on the stairs and send him on his way. “What? You’re not going to tell me you don’t want—”


“The more time you spend with me, the more chance they find you out.”


“Don’t tell me you broke up with me to keep me safe, Dane. You’re a selfish bastard.”


Dane ran a hand through his hair, not wanting to have to talk about this when they could be fucking instead. It took him only a few seconds to decide they might as well have their fun—Sean was already here, after all, and incredibly willing.


“Yeah, I’m the one who’s shit,” he said, leaning back down again and reaching for Sean’s pants. He tugged the tucked shirt out. “Only reason you’re here is ‘cause you finally got a young guy to fuck you.”
