There was no angel in sight.
At least I'd been right about that.
A firm body rushed me, knocking me to the concrete and I blinked into the stormy blue of Levi's unamused gaze.
"You didn't happen to try and kill me with your illusion magic?" I said. "Say in a grove in an indeterminate reality?"
His body blanketed mine. I was safe. His hands felt so right curled up against my sides, holding me like I was something precious, and cars passed as I was caught between a road and a deliciously hard place.
My breathing kicked up when Levi turned his head to whisper in my ear, "The day you push me to a non-negotiable act of homicide, I promise you'll see my face."
It sounded like that day might come sooner rather than later.
I shoved him off me. "Really? I always figured you for a knife in the dark kind of guy."
