Thirty minutes later, I was behind the wheel of the unmarked car I’d claimed as our own. I tapped the head of the Funko Pop Deadpool riding a unicorn that lived on the dashboard as soon as I got in.

Sawyer opened the passenger door and slid inside. “Are you sure you don’t want to rest a little longer? You didn’t sleep at all. I can go in and start without you.”

“Nah, I’m fine. Besides, the sooner we solve this case, the sooner we can—”

“Move onto the next one?” he provided.

“I was going to say get loose and tattoo each other’s faces on our asses, but yeah, moving on to the next one is a good idea too.”

Grinning, I started the engine, my gaze flickering to the rearview mirror out of habit, where I saw Willy standing there. Rolling down the window, I said, “Stand down, big guy.”

Sawyer jerked his head around. “Is the Gray Man here?”

“Yeah.” I swallowed. “You can’t see him?”

“No.”

I stuck my head out the window again. “Mind letting Sawyer in on the joke?”

An image of a comedy club filled my head.

“Yeah, kind of like that. Just become visible when Sawyer’s around.”

When I heard my partner curse, I knew he’d done just as I’d asked, only reaffirming that Willy was, indeed, my own personal slave. When I pulled my head back inside the car, Sawyer asked, “How often have you seen him without my knowledge? How often has he come to you?”

Tracing a pattern onto the top of my thigh, I thought about how to answer that. “A few?”

His jaw tightened. “A few as in a literal few, or a few as in if you tell me, I’ll lose my fucking mind.”

I made a weighing-up gesture with my hands, tipping my left hand up a little higher than the right. “A little from column A, a little from column B.”

When Sawyer next spoke, his words were a smoky growl. “When was the last time? In the lobby of the Matriarch?”

I couldn’t lie to him so I nodded.

“That explains the thread of fear I felt through the bond. Does the Gray Man scare you? Because if he does—”

I cut him off with a kiss. “He doesn’t scare me. I’m kind of still surprised when he shows up. It’s like having a tiger for a pet, but forgetting it’s a wild animal.”

“I still don’t like it,” he ground out.

“Noted, but until I can figure out how to break this bond that won’t physically or metaphysically hurt either one of us, I’ll do it. For now, we’ll just deal.”

Sawyer turned to face the front, a muscle in the corner of his eye twitching. “I don’t like sharing you.”

I snorted. “You aren’t. Willy and I hardly have a sexual relationship.”

“I… I don’t know how to explain it—only that I don’t like it.”

“Noted.” I checked my mirrors once more, not at all surprised to see Willy sitting in the back seat. Turning to Sawyer, I asked, “Would it be weird to get a ‘baby on board’ sticker for the back?”

His dry reply was, “In so many ways.
