Dark Awakening
“Nic sat beside her, finally out of advice about her magic. He hadn't heard much about humans who had talent, so he'd gone through that information quickly. Next, he'd told her what he'd recalled about the kijo from Orcus legend, and then he explained the basics of how demons used their powers.
With every mile, though, he seemed to become more and more tense. She could feel it radiating off him, and it made her own anxiety increase. She'd never seen him like this, not even when he'd fought that ...demon in her apartment.
"Nic, are you okay?" she asked when she stopped at a light.
"Yes." He put his hand on her thigh and gave her a squeeze. "I only wish I could have left you at the hotel." She nearly snarled, but swallowed her words. How could he consider fighting alone? But there was no point in arguing about something that hadn't happened. Back in the room, Nic had claimed it might be a setup to leave her unguarded. Either way—as if she wanted to remain behind!
The light turned green and Kimi stepped on the accelerator.MoreLess
