Page 41 of My Guardian Demon

I adjusted my clothes and settled on the stool. "Do you think Eston will come here?"

Onyx retreated to the coffeemaker and opened the cabinets to find a mug and coffee pod for himself. He put everything on to brew and hit the start button. "He's coming here. The man sold his soul for this address. As soon as he's healed enough, he'll be here."

"So what do we do?"

Onyx turned to look at me. He leaned back against the counter. "Well, we can wait for him to show his face or we can give him bait to lure him here faster."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you still have him on social media?"

"I don't. He was stalking me."

Onyx nodded. "That's all right. I know some good hackers. You need to change your relationship status to 'in a relationship' and we need to take some photos together."

"All I see is your demon form," I said as I sat at my kitchen counter and looked at the digital pictures of me and Onyx. He looked over my shoulder at the phone as I scrolled through them.

The pictures were innocent enough. Us in the pool, posing in front of a tree, and me sitting on Onyx's shoulders, smiling at the camera.

"That's because you know about the supernatural. Non-aware humans will see me as a human in the photos."

"What about Eston? He sold his soul to a demon. Can he see your demon form now?"

Onyx paused. "I'm not sure. But it's even better if there are photos of you with a demon, and Eston thinks he knows but you don't. Won't that drive him crazy?"

"They look great. I wish I could see what the pictures look like to humans, though."

"Why? Don't you like my natural look?" Onyx teased. He kissed the side of my neck.

I laughed. "It's not that. I just wonder what everyone else sees."

Onyx thought for a moment. "Hold on." Onyx disappeared.

"That's really creepy," I said to myself.

Although... If he could disappear like that, could he turn invisible? Was there more to that "bump in the night" comment and the feeling of being watched when we met? Was he present in my room?

Nah, he couldn't, right? I shook my head.

Fleetingly, I thought about how Osian was napping in Onyx's apartment and I hoped Onyx didn't wake him.

A minute later, Onyx appeared. He handed me a pair of old-fashioned spectacles.

"Put these on."

"Appearing and disappearing like that is creepy."

He laughed. "You'll get used to it. Put the glasses on."

I followed his instructions and put the glasses on. I blinked as Onyx's human form appeared in front of me.

He grinned, and it struck me by how handsome he looked. He looked exactly as breathtaking as when he'd beamed at my door's peephole.

I teased, "I spent a lot of years as a human, and I have to say, your human form is fuckin' sexy. I'd have your babies."
