Because Jude needed some time to locate Shen, we had a few hours to sleep. My feet dragged up the stairs toward my tower apartment, but my skin prickled with awareness. Lachlan walked behind me. There wasn’t enough time for him to go back to his place and get rest, so it’d been the most obvious thing to invite him back to my place.

As soon as I walked in, I went to the bathroom to check out my new tattoo in the mirror. I tugged aside my shirt collar and peered at it. The markings were much fainter than the ones around my arms, a pale gold that shimmered in the light.

Swirls of gold danced over my collarbones, and if I squinted, it looked like a dragon.

“Cool.” I spared one look for my face and winced.

Yeah, I needed a nap. I looked as ragged as a superstore employee after Black Friday. I’d never personally attended a Black Friday sale, what with living in the desert and being broke, but I’d heard stories. It sounded more exhausting than driving across Death Valley.

“Help yourself to anything!” I shouted out to Lachlan, belatedly realizing that I’d just ditched him. “I’m going catch a shower.”

“Aye.” His voice filtered through the door.

Quickly, I scrubbed up, then changed into PJs and went down the stairs toward the kitchen. Lachlan handed me a warm mug.

I smiled. “What is this?”

“Hot chocolate. Found it in the back of your cupboard.”

“The only thing the cats haven’t eaten.”

“Though they might have tried?”

“Bojangles, definitely. That cat’s got a sweet tooth like you wouldn’t believe.” I sipped and sighed gratefully. “You know the way to a girl’s heart.”

“I wouldn’t mind finding my way to your heart, specifically.”

I smiled at him, my heart thundering. But I had no idea what to say, so I went with silence.

He squeezed my arm and set his mug on the counter. “I’m going to take a shower.”

“You do that. I’m hitting the hay. You can, um, join me when you’re done.” I held up a hand. “Sleeping only, though. We’ve only got a few hours at most, and we need it.”

The corner of his mouth kicked up in a devastatingly sexy smile, and he nodded.

I listened to him go up the stairs and waited for the water to start. Once I’d finished my hot chocolate, I climbed into bed. Softness enveloped me. Felt like sinking into a cloud.

I drifted into sleep almost immediately. Vaguely, I felt Lachlan climb into bed next to me, and I rolled toward him, snuggling into his arms.

I could get used to this.
