Possess Me Under The Mistletoe
She's innocent, wicked with magic, and off limits... Just his type.
It's almost Christmas and Cyra Mane's landed her first solo mission to cleanse a haunted house. Easy. After all, she's keen to make a good impression with the demon hunting company that hired her. But when Gunn, a seasoned hunter she's desired for weeks, shows up, the seemingly simple cleansing task turns dangerous. And why's he there when he's ignored her for weeks?
Gunn's kept his distance for a dark reason that's followed him for years. And he sure as hell doesn't intend to drag sweet Cyra into his mess, even if he can't stop fantasizing about her. Besides, he's there as a favor to her brother.
But when Cyra's spell goes horribly wrong, not only are they imprisoned in the house, but they discover a portal to Hell in the attic.
Can Cyra keep her mind off the brooding hunter and on protecting the home owners before the demon hunting them turns them into Christmas dinner?
Chapter 1
Cyra
Ten minutes late to her first appointment, Cyra Mane sighed.
As sweat plastered her shirt to her back, she shifted around uncomfortably in the back seat of the cab, having run two blocks to catch the darn thing. Staring at the houses and streets they passed, she was excited for her first solo field mission, though the nerves refused to leave her. If she failed this task for Argos Inc., a clandestine demon hunting organization, she could kiss her brand new job with them goodbye.
A month ago, her grandma had broken her leg and insisted Cyra shouldn’t throw her life away by staying home caring for her, much against Cyra’s protests. And since her grandma was moving to another state, that presented Cyra with two options: live on her own or with her brother, Chase, in the heart of Detroit. She chose the latter, but skipped out on her brother and moved into a place on her own. And even as a nineteen-year-old with limited work experience, she’d make an invaluable member to Argos’ team. After all, they’d hired her on a probationary term instantly after seeing her hexing skills.
The cab traveled past gated homes draped in snow.
A three-story home complete with a pointy roof caught her eye with its S-shaped driveway and animal-shaped shrubs. Gorgeous. Christmas decorations dolled up the other residences—reindeer statues, trees decorated with tinsel and baubles. They reminded her of life on the farm, the gorgeous baked feasts, making her own decorations. That was what Christmas meant to her… time with family, laughing and watching old movies.
Her knees bounced with nerves that refused to leave her.
Her phone chimed. She fumbled at her pocket to grab it and read the message.
Hey, sis. I should be in Detroit in 2 hrs. If you’re still working, I’ll join ya on the job.
She tightened her hold on the phone. Typical Chase. She responded.
Told you yesterday. I can handle this. Thanks anyway.
Her mistake had been telling her brother about her assignment. Sure, he’d put in a good word for her at Argos, seeing as he’s a big league demon hunter there, and that had paved the way for an interview. But she was the one who nailed most of the magical tasks they’d thrown at her, and now she had a chance to prove herself with a real, paying job as a spell creator. Blitz it with this assignment, and her permanency job was secure.
Her supervisor at Argos had insisted the mission was a straightforward haunting, the non-intelligent kind that didn’t interact with the living. So it should be a simple task.
Another message hit her phone.
You sure you’re okay? Field jobs can turn dangerous fast. And I gave my word to Grandma to protect you.
There was such a thing as being overprotective. Like my brother popping over every second day or in the middle of the night, insisting she had to move out and live with him. His warning that druggies lived next door to her, or a brothel had opened up nearby, or whatever else he’d made up. She’d ignored him. Moving in with him was not happening. She was sick of being encased in bubble wrap. For the past month, she’d made herself comfortable living alone and had befriended many of her neighbors. It was a
