Big Bad Bite (41 page)

Gage had stalked behind the bar until he
stood directly across from the middle sister and snarled, “What the
fuck are you doing here, Sergeant Demos?”

The woman set her bottled beer on the bar and
smiled in a way that reminded Jenna of the first time she saw Alec
fighting at The Arena. Like a cat playing with his mouse.

“I take it that you hadn’t heard, Master
Sergeant Ivanov. I’m out. But as for the reason as to why I’m here
in this bar, well that’s easy. I was looking for you.”

Alec sauntered up to the end of the bar so
that he could study the three sisters better. While his brother was
engaged in a pissing contest with the middle sister, he was busy
trying to eye fuck the pin up sister. Jenna rolled her eyes at the
flagrant example of his man whore membership, and then turned her
attention back to Gage.

“Why would you be looking for me you, little
harpy?”

Yikes. Someone wasn’t on Gage’s good list.
She wondered if this Demos chick had been threatened with rolled up
newspapers be the cranky cat too?

The brunette’s grin widened as if she had a
secret. It didn’t look good for her favorite commando for hire.

“I’m here to ask you about your sister,
Ivanov. Seen Lulu lately?”

Gage leaned across the bar to get in the
brunette’s face. “Why are you looking for Lulu?”

Reaching into her back pocket, Demos pulled
out a business card and pushed it across the top of the bar so that
it was in front of Gage. “I got drafted into the family business
recently, so I’m just here doing my job.”

Gage shot the woman a disgruntled look, then
dropped his gaze to the card. Wiping his face to display the best
blank look Jenna had ever seen he brought his attention back to the
woman and said, “That’s not possible. You can’t work for AI. That
would mean you’re-“

The snarky brunette cut him off, practically
in glee. She obviously knew Gage well enough to see past his
uncaring display to know that he was seriously unnerved about
whatever she’d just shown him. “That’s right Ivanov. Amazon
International would mean that I come from a line of Amazons
wouldn’t it?” She asked in a sickly patronizing voice as if she
were talking to an exceptionally small child. Jenna had to clamp
her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing at the poor tiger.
She would have danced a jig in unadulterated glee about the pushy
tiger being put into his place if it hadn’t been for the Demos
woman’s next statement.

“And I’m here with my sisters to investigate
your sister Lulu for the charge of murder.”

About the Author

Jessie Lane is the writing team of Melissa
Pahl and Crystal Leo. The two sister-in-laws share a passionate
love of naughty romance, cliff hanging suspense, and
out-of-this-world characters that demand your attention, or
threaten to slap you around until you do pay attention to them.
Because really, it is ALL about the characters.

(They're kind of megalomaniacs - but don't
tell them we said that.)

Crystal and Melissa often live half their
lives with their heads in the clouds dreaming of alpha military
hunks, werewolves and kick ass heroines crazy enough to chase after
creatures that they unquestionably should know better than to
chase.

Their first YA novel, The Burning Star, was
released in May 2012. Big Bad Bite is their second novel, but their
first adult paranormal romance. They are now working on their next
two novels, Walk On The Striped Side and Secret Maneuvers. With
these projects underway, they are looking forward to showing the
rest of the world their crazy stories, heroes and heroines that
often plague their minds until written, and hope you will join them
on their journey!
