sleep. Maybe not as much as a regular human, but if he didn’t get enough his condition would suffer. He’d been up for days tracking and subduing the last creature from Hell Michael funneled his way. He’d awoken this morning after only three hours of much needed sleep.
    When the demon fell asleep, he went to sleep. Simple as that.
    It was stupid of him. He couldn’t make that mistake again. From the very beginning this assignment had been trouble, but he should’ve known that the minute Michael told him he was being deliberately targeted, and why. Whoever orchestrated this scheme to steal his immortality had been wise to choose Camille as the host. He wasn’t detached. He was too invested in Camille to do the work properly.
    He almost wished Michael had sent another immortal on this assignment. Then again, he didn’t. The mere thought of another man seeing Camille’s naked body on crude display made his blood start to boil.
    Seth could handle this. He just needed to take additional precautions.
    The doors of the elevator opened, letting him out into the warehouse. The door sealed tightly behind him, but he needed to hurry. He didn’t want her left alone for long. He wouldn’t have left her alone at all if it weren’t absolutely necessary. At least the break and the fresh air would clear his mind and smother his arousal.
    Seth jogged to the opposite side of the warehouse, opening the small door that was closest to the front entrance. From there, he could spy the courier truck parked outside the gates of the property. He used this company for all his shipping and delivery needs. They were quick, reliable, and most important, discrete.
    He called and asked them to come after he’d been able to shake off the sexual haze Camille had trapped him in. They said they would meet him outside the gate at eight-thirty. Seth glanced at his watch. They were right on time .
    He jogged across the parking lot and handed the package through the gate to the courier he recognized as Jeff.
    Jeff accepted the padded envelope, eyeing the label in confusion as he went to scan it with his tracking gun. " You want me to deliver this back here? "
    Seth expected the confusion. " Yes. Deliver it back here tomorrow morning at exactly six. I’ll meet you at the gate. "
    Jeff was trained not to ask too many questions, and Seth paid enough to soothe his curiosity. " Yes, sir. " He turned on his heel and climbed into his truck.
    Seth watched him disappear into the distance before he started back to the warehouse. He was filled with newfound confidence as he waltzed back through the safe house door and sealed it behind him.
    " You look pleased with yourself, " Camille noted.
    " I am. " He slammed back the last of his energy drink and crushed the can in his hand before tossing it in the trash. He let a smile spread wide across his face as he plopped into the chair at her cell and leaned in. " Wanna know why? "
    She seemed confused, but still curious. Camille approached the edge of the cell, gripping the bars and poking her face through. " Why? "
    " Because I’ve won, " he gloated.
    Camille wrinkled her freckled nose as her confusion increased. " You mean you think you’ve beaten me already? "
    " I don’t think —— I know. "
    " And what makes you so certain, Seth? What makes you think that in the next nine hours you’re not going to open that door and make passionate love to me the way you want to? "
    " I know, " he grinned, " because I no longer have the key. "
    The color drained from Camille’s face. " W-what do you m-mean? " she stuttered.
    " I mean it doesn’t matter how much pixie dust you blow on me or how badly I want to bend you over that table and give it to you. I can’t let you out. The one and only key is gone. "
    " But what about Camille? Are you just going to leave her in here? " Her voice cracked. The demon’s low voice now had an edge of hysteria building in it.
    " The key is coming back, but not until tomorrow —— and
