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.

“No, pervert,” said Dane. “Thinking about my dick?”


“Bet it’s harder. Want me to roll over there and shove it against your ass?”


“No,” said Sean, although his own cock twitched in excitement in his pants. “I want you to tell me what the fuck just happened.”


“I figured that,” said Sean, rolling onto his back and feeling the motion from his wrists to his shoulders. “Damn! I mean who caught us.”


He rolled again, up onto his other side, and was facing Dane. He looked worse than Sean felt—his lip was swollen and bloody, his nose had a trail of dried blood underneath it, and his shirt had come up a little, revealing bruising on his side. Sean remembered how he’d felt when the pine trees had nearly crushed the life out of him and figured Dane was more than a little in pain.
