A demon truck driver has been searching for his destination for twenty-six years. Meanwhile, a sweet chipmunk shifter has just six days to make a decision that will impact the rest of his life… are they on a collision course, or…
Demon Zese didn’t mind being on earth. He had a good job, he had a solid friend in Rigmus, and if Lucifer did summon him occasionally to help with “retrieval” jobs, he really didn’t mind so much. If only he could work out why he’d been summoned to earth in the first place, or by who.
Chipmunk shifter, Percy had been given an ultimatum. Marry the man who owned the club he worked at, or lose his job. Percy had friends and a loving family, but there was something seriously wrong with his boss… if only he knew what to do about it.

Percy
With his almost permanent smile highlighting his features, Percy sauntered into the bar and assessed the scene. Shock and awe, he mused, I’m the first one here.
Quickly getting to work, Percy was up to his elbows in lemon, lime, and mint when he felt a figure looming behind him. A shiver ran through him, but his smile remained in place.
“Evening, Gerard,” Percy said firmly, sharing none of the shivers he felt.
“Ahh, Percy, it lights up my world that you always know it’s me.”
Gerard was Luminosity’s owner, and with his creep factor increasing by the day, Percy silently hoped Benjamin wouldn’t be late. He was extremely conscious of the fact they were the only two people in the bar.
“What can I say? You have a distinct energy about you. Plus, it helps that we are the only two here at this time of the day,” Percy replied through his gritted teeth smile.
READ MORE“Always so quick-witted, Percy, one of the many things I adore about you.”
Coming from anyone else, Percy would have been flattered but Gerard was… weird. His aura was murky even on a good day and there was just something about him that set Percy’s teeth on edge. Realizing his boss was applying the pressure earlier in the day than usual, Percy knew he had to put a stop to it.
“Flattery won’t speed up my decision-making, Gerard. I asked for a week, it’s been less than twenty-four hours.”
“I didn’t realize what a stickler for the rules you are, too,” Gerard grumbled, pressing his body up against Percy’s behind, “but I’ll let it pass this once.” Gerard breathed into his ear, possibly thinking it was a romantic gesture.
“If you were following the rules, we wouldn’t be in this mess,” Percy replied smoothly, inching his body away from the grotesque man behind him. Percy felt Gerard’s lust rolling off him in waves and fought off the need to gag as Gerard leaned closer to breathe him in.
Fight or flight kicked in. Percy tried with all his might to suppress the shudder that loomed under his skin at Gerard’s unwanted attention. He’ll be gone any minute now, just breathe, breathe.
“Now, you’re not insinuating I’ve done anything other than offer you a reasonable business proposition, are you?” Gerard sneered.
Percy moved away, stacking his cut limes and lemons into the trays. “I told you last night, it’s an unfair offer. But you gave me your word, I’d have seven days to decide. And I intend to make use of those seven days.”
“Six. You have six days left, Percy. The clock is ticking.”
“I’m well aware of how to tell time, thank you.”
