Sorry about the delay-I'm trying to get back on schedule now that the holidays are over.
The Monster at the End of This Book
"What do you mean you went after a demon while we were gone?" It came out more like a growl, and that was after he'd restrained himself enough to respond.
She smiled that adoring smile, the one he didn't deserve after everything he'd put her through even if she was in the wrong. "I missed you."
"Don't change the subject, you could have been killed." Then he would have welcomed the apocalypse with open arms.
"That's impossible, I brought backup."
Good point. His accusing stare turned on Cas, to Dean's surprise his normally flat expression turned defensive.
"She would have gone regardless of my presence."
Kayla laughed and he tried to stay mad. "Did you see how easily he ratted me out? You're supposed to protect me!"
"I kept you from harm while they were away." He reminded.
"But now all bets are off? I see how it is."
The expression on his face changed again and he looked to Dean, seemingly for help. He involuntarily smiled when she laughed again, suddenly remembering how much he'd missed it over the two weeks in corporate hell.
"Now you know what I put up with." Poor guy, Dean knew the feeling. Keeping her happy and safe at the same time wasn't easy. He couldn't really be mad at Kayla, he would have gotten bored and gone hunting too. He was glad someone had her back.
"Wait so, Cas went hunting with you?" Sam cut in with curious laugh. "Wasn't that…quiet?"
"Quiet?" Kayla smiled. "Cas can talk. Mostly, he can ask questions like nobody's business. You know he's never even kissed anyone?" Her smile was devious, like she was trying to get back at him for getting her in trouble.
Dean smirked. "Yeah? You should make out with Kayla, it'll blow your mind."
Her expression shifted. "Why are you always pimping me to make out with people?"
"Oh come on it was only Sam and in case you don't remember, you did make out with him."
"Classy Dean." Sam grumbled, trying to sound humored but the comment had made him uncomfortable. "I'm gonna bunk down for the night…away from you."
Cas quickly threw himself next in line. "I have to get back to the garrison. If you need anything…"
"Hey," Dean interrupted with a grin. "If you need anything, huh?" He wiggled his eyebrows as he pushed his shoulder.
His eyes darted towards Kayla with what looked like fear and he was gone.
"I didn't even get my hug, you had to scare everyone off."
"That was the idea." His hands slid around her waist; he'd been gone two weeks after all. "You still shouldn't have gone after a demon, not until we got back." He scolded but placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"It wasn't a big player, just like, a wingman. Not even. He was like a baby demon. Did you really drive a Prius?" She shifted the subject back to the angel's 'lesson' for him. Cas had given her bits and pieces of information about it.
"Mmm." He grimaced, a painful memory.
"Did you at least get a hot secretary?"
"No, I didn't. I got ripped off."
Kayla smirked. "You want one?"
One of his eyebrows arched and he kissed her again. The questions floating in his mind about her hunt with Cas faded into the background as her tongue traced his bottom lip. No wonder they didn't include Kayla in his corporate life; he would have been perfectly happy wherever she was.
