(1) The Devil's Hybrid (D. Winchester)

Chapter Twelve

Erika taps her nails on the table as Dean sets a glass of whiskey down next to her, she looks to it and then to him as he sits across from her. Sam sleeps on one of the motel beds.

"Thanks" he tells her. "For helping" she shrugs and fingers the edge of the glass.

"Ah well.....I was bored...and you're cute" she teases, he smiles a little. "And I just can't help a damsel in distress" she adds, Dean snorts and looks to her, she bites her lip as she raises her glass.

"We would have managed" Dean tells her, she shrugs.

"Oh?" she asks leaning forward. "So...it was just an excuse?" she asks, he raises an eyebrow. "You keep turning up in my life, Dean Winchester, and I don't just think it's coincidence, you keep seeking me out"

"I don't know what you are talking about" he grumbles, hating that he's been caught out, not that he will ever admit it, Erika smirks at him and crosses one leg over the other. "I suppose I better get moving" she states before standing.

"Really?" Dean asks, she smirks and looks to him.

"If I don't leave, how will you ever miss me?" she pouts playfully, he smirks and shakes his head turning away from her, her smile falls and she looks to Sam before looking back to Dean. "Dean" Erika states as he shrugs out his jacket, he turns to her. "There's nothing more important then family, trust me, I know" she pulls on her own coat. "Your brother needs you" Erika tells him softly, he nods. "Whatever is going on, it's never worth falling out over" she smiles at him. "You have my number, and you know where I live....if you ever need anything, I wouldn't be against you asking for it" he smirks and scratches the back of his neck.

"Sure, thank you, Erika"

"Goodnight, Dean" she turns and leaves, Dean sighs and then follows her.

.............

Outside the motel room he looks around and spots her heading away, he jogs after her.

"Erika" he calls for her as she walks away, she turns to him.

"Yes, love?" she asks as he reaches her, he shuffles slightly then nods before he kisses her. Softly at first, checking, waiting to see if she is okay with this, despite the flirting he can't read her, Erika flexes her fingers at her side and then kisses him back, her arms coming up around his neck, his hands finding her waist. Damn it. Dean thinks. Sam was right. She pulls back and licks her lips. "Is that it?" Erika teases. Dean smirks and kisses her again, she laughs against his lips and tugs him closer by his shirt. Her eyes catch the figure of Samael watching from where he leans against the wall, of course he would choose now to appear, to torment her, to make her feel guilty, she closes her eyes and tries to block him out.

..............

Uriel and Castiel stand watching Dean and Erika.

"The weapon will be on side then" Uriel states. "I'm surprised"

"She could have gone either way, she still could" Castiel adds. "If Lucifer rises we will loose her as an ally, he will claim her"

"We shall see" Uriel states and then vanishes, Castiel watches the two of them a moment more before following.

.................

Dean licks his lips as Erika smirks at him.

"You wanna grab a room?" he asks, she bites her lip and shrugs.

"Well...." she looks to her watch, Dean groans and she chuckles. "I suppose I could spare ten minutes"

"Hahah" he mocks laughs and yanks her closer, she kisses him and then pulls back.
