It worked the sae of the beta quartz thathere was peaceful Daemon’s kind was protected, but every once in a while, an Arum stuht in his buddies

Three of them had already been taken out This should be the last one

As Dae speed, he wondered what the hell his brother was doing On Saturdays, they usually spent the day watching all the Ghost Investigator episodes TiVoed that week

But Dawson had bailed on hi with the huy hit hi backward like a ball that had just been knocked out of the park He sroaned and shook as he slid down to the ot hi the thick shadow co at him like a souped-up bulldozer

The Aru the vulnerability All decked out in leather pants…and nothing else Nice Just what Daemon wanted to do--wrestle with a half-naked dude

Okay, so the Aru on his hu the Arurunted and threw a meaty ar up behind the Aru back, Dae about taking human form was that skin bled and bones broke Both of their kinds would have to flip back to their real form to heal, and then they’d be at their weakest Hopefully this Aruh to fall for it Dae to make friends

But the Aru back with one hand Dark energy shot forth, narrowlyto be tasssty, the Arum taunted

"If I had a dollar every tiht hit a thick branch, breaking it off He raced forward, catching theit like a bat He smiled "Batter up, mofo"

The Arum hissed--literally hissed at him What The Hell

He ca The crack shook his entire body, and the sickening thud pleased hio down

Pulling into himself like someone had shoved a vacuum into his back, the Aruh the trees, running like a pansy

Daeive chase, but he knew fro hinoring the raw pain shooting through his hip Once he was at hoe and heal Until then, he would deal with the bruises and aches

But once he got back to his house and took care of that, all he was going to do was just chill Like everyone else in this damn world did

God, Dawson had never felt this way before Every part of his body burned as he tasted her kiss and familiarized hiht seared his eyes The breathy, little fe were hs

And then his song stopped

Beth’s hand jerked off his shoulder, and she gasped against his mouth "Oh my God…"

He lifted his head and opened his eyes Oh, hell… All he sahite glow that bathed Beth’s face, reflected off the walls, covered the entire bed…

Oh, holy shit

Dawson sprang off the bed, but his feet never touched the floor beside it He hovered, staring down at hi alien mode up in her house, in her bedrooainst the headboard Her eyes ide as she stared at hi out

Shock suspended ti seemed surreal to him He wasn’t in Bethany’s bedrooirl--this beautiful hu freak

Grasping the edge of her comforter, she shook her head back and forth Like she was having trouble processing what she was seeing, which was understandable

Daas glowing like a star

His heart was racing so fast he could feel it in his fingertips Partly due to the whole kissing thing and partly because he was still in his true for faintly, like someone had dipped a paintbrush into white paint and shaded her edges Of course, Bethany couldn’t see it No huh EMF surrounding hi

Bethany blinked slowly, her fingers easing off the blanket "Dawson?"

Do so, he ordered himself But his control had slipped, and he couldn’t pull it back Light radiated fro every inch of the room

She rose to her knees little by little He was certain he could see her heart pounding through her sweater, could s fro her way toward hi, but in his true form, he didn’t speak like a hue of the bed, she peered up at him In her brown eyes, he could see his reflection, and he hated what he saw

"Dawson," she whispered, clasping her hands under her chin "Is that you?"
