Her jaw tightened, and that’s when he noticed a red blotch on her neck. Was that a hickey? Shocked, he took a step back but couldn’t rip his eyes off the revealing mark. “Oh.” It appeared that Enya had a sex life outside the compound walls. And why was he surprised about that? After all, all the single male guardians had one-night stands, and those bonded to their mates now had sought distractions outside the compound before they’d met their mates. It was nothing unusual. He’d just never thought that Enya was doing the same.

Enya glared at him even more outraged now. “What I do in my private time isn’t any of your business. You get that?”

Manus clenched his teeth. “Well, excuse me for being worried about you! Never mind. Next time, I’ll know not to give a fuck.”

Enya grunted unintelligibly. He wasn’t sure whether it was a curse, an acknowledgment, or an apology.

“So, did you find anything in the storage unit?” he finally asked, calmer now.

“Nothing. Lots of worthless junk.”

“How about the figurines? They were in a box.”

“Extremely good replicas of some Viking artifacts. Nothing of interest to us or the demons.”

“You sure?”

Enya gave him a stern look. “Do I look like I’m not sure?”

Manus knew better than to provoke her. “Fine. Guess that was a bust.”

“Guess so.” She turned on her heel and started walking away.

“Thanks, Enya,” he called after her.

She didn’t respond.
