She shrugged. “How about ours?”

  He frowned. “I don’t get it.”

  “I know we’ve only been together for three months, but we see each other nearly every day, so I was thinking…well, maybe we could try living together…if that’s what you want?”

  He grinned. “There’s nothing I want more.” He paused. “I guess it would make more sense for me to move into your place, with your mother—”

  “Seriously, Junaid, mother is going to be fine.” It was amazing how Pearl had come along, meaning Ivy had none of the concerns she did three months ago. Mother could now look after herself, and as they worked at the same company, they would still see plenty of each other. “We can live anywhere…my place, yours or a brand new one. As long as we’re together.”

  “I like the sound of that.” His smile was wide as he intertwined his fingers with hers. “How about we look for a new place? One that’s perfect for us?”

  “I love that idea.” The suggestion was just what she’d hoped for. He drove out of the car park, a big smile on his face. Now there was only one thing that worried her. “No more news from the Association?”

  It was the only threat that still lingered over them, but they would fight it together.

  “We’re expecting something to kick off soon,” he said. “Blade has put together a group that is already making plans to tackle any potential problems.” He parked up outside his apartment and turned off the engine. “Some of the supernaturals…well, let’s say they don’t take too kindly to humans…so Blade has suggested getting a human on board who can make them see things differently.” He cleared his throat. “If you don’t mind, I’d like to suggest your name.”

  “Me? Negotiate with supernaturals?”

  “You’d be a voice of reason. You’d make my kind see the other side. We need someone like you, someone who understands why humans are so scared of us. And because you were with the Association so long, that will help, too.” As they got out of the vehicle, he asked, “What do you think?”

  As she followed him up the stairs toward his apartment, she considered the offer. It was one that scared her, but she’d decided three months ago that she wouldn’t allow fear to stop her. She loved managing the business, but by getting involved in this work, perhaps she could prevent others from experiencing the situation mother and she were once in…a situation where they feared for their lives…

  After they stepped inside his place, she glanced at the weapons on the wall. She had learned to handle several of them, and before they left in the morning, she would have a training session with Junaid. “I’ll do it,” she said, “It’s a fight I can’t help but become involved in.”

  “Hopefully, it won’t turn to a fight,” he murmured, pulling her toward him. “I’ll let Blade know. But let’s forget about it for now…”

  When his mouth met hers, all other thoughts dissipated. As he softly bit her lower lip, she asked, “Is your beast joining us?”

  “I want you just for myself, so no fangs and claws tonight.”

  “I want you just for myself tonight, too,” she said, pressing her lips harder against his.

  As he kissed her, there was no more fear or guilt to separate her from him. There was no room for anything else between them…apart from love.
