Ooh. Top secret angel business, huh? What’re you going to do? Dance on a pinhead? Lobby for National Cute Puppy Day?

I’m a succubus.”
He shook his head. “No, you aren’t.”
“Yes, I am.”
“You aren’t.”
I was a bit surprised to be having this conversation. “I am too.”
“No. Succubi are flame-eyed and bat-winged. Everyone knows that. They don’t wear jeans and sweaters.
What kind of sick bastard burns down a Christmas tree?”
Hugh and I exchanged glances. “That’s an excellent question,” I said dryly.
Peter looked startled. “Was it you?” he asked Hugh.
“No,” said the imp. “It was Carter.”
“Your Christmas tree was burned down by an angel?” asked Cody.
“Yup. The irony isn’t lost on me

It’s important to keep up appearances with books,” I explained. “Image goes a long way in this business.”
He dared a look over at me, still nervous but steadily recovering his composure. “I go more for content.”
"Really?” I repositioned slightly so that we were touching again, the soft flannel of his shirt brushing my bare skin. “Because I could have sworn a moment ago you were pretty caught up in outside appearance.”
His eyes shifted down again, but I could see a smile curving his lips. “Well. Some things are so striking, they can’t help but draw attention to themselves.”
"And doesn’t that make you curious about what’s inside?”
"Mostly it makes me want to get you some advanced copies.”
Advanced copies? What did he—?
"Seth? Seth, where—ah, there you are.” Paige turned down our aisle, Doug following behind. She brightened when she saw me, and I felt my stomach sink out of me and hit the floor with a thud as I put two and two together. No. No. It couldn’t be—
"Ah, Georgina. I see you’ve already met Seth Mortensen.
John Cusack is standing over there.”
I followed his incredulous gaze to where a man very like Mr. Cusack did indeed stand, smoking a cigarette as he leaned against a building. I sighed.
“That’s not John Cusack. That’s Jerome.”
“Seriously?”
“Yup. I told you he looked like John Cusack.”
“Keyword: looked. That guy doesn’t look like him. That guy is him.

Seth was a wonderful kisser. He gave the kind of kisses that melted into your mouth and filled you with sweetness. They were like cotton candy.

Feminist,” he said, clearly amused. “Next you’ll be telling us you hate men.”
She gave him a blank look. “I only hate stupid men who don’t actually understand what ‘feminist’ means.”
He laughed. “You run into a lot of men like that?”
“All the time.”
“Really?”
“Even as we speak, Nick.”
“Oh no she didn’t,” said Peter. I groaned.

He laced his fingers through mine and lifted my hand to his lips. I had gloves on, but he kissed exactly where I wore his ring.
“Why are you so sweet?” I asked, my voice small. My heart beat rapidly, and every star peeping through the clouds seemed to be shining just for me.
“I don’t think I’m that sweet. I mean, I just told you to be quiet. That’s one step away from asking you to wash my laundry and make me a sandwich.”
“You know what I mean.”
Seth pressed another kiss to my forehead. “I’m sweet because you make it easy to be sweet.

Me, I always wanted frost power.”
“Frost power?”
“Yeah.” Seth gestured dramatically toward my coffee table. “If we’re talking superhero abilities. If I had frost power, I could wave my hand, and suddenly that whole thing would be covered in ice.”
“Not frost?”
“Same difference.”
“How would frost and/or ice power help you fight crime?”
“Well, I don’t know that it would. But it’d be cool.

This is it?” I asked. “This is going to keep away an uber-powerful dream entity? It looks like a prop from The Blair Witch Project.”
“It can’t force her away,” he said. “Nothing can. But it might make her think twice. It’s more of...a repellent.”
“Like citronella?”
He rolled his eyes. “Yes, like citronella.
