Once they’d arrived at the stoplight a block away from her building he got out and headed over. “Meet me there.”

He didn’t bother with calling up. The door was being opened by someone leaving and he caught it, heading up to her place via the stairs. He pounded on the door. “Mia, are you in there?”

She opened moments later, holding a towel over herself.

He pushed inside and locked up. “What’s going on?” He took the towel, ignoring her squawk of annoyance, and gave her a close look. She stopped struggling, and he was so angry that anyone would touch her that he could ignore all that pretty skin he usually wanted to lick from head to toe.

“I’m all right. Mainly. One of them tore at my back. That’ll take another hour or so. They fucking shot at me. Shot at me! What the hell? They were shifters. The same scent as the night you were shot. I don’t think they used silver though.”

“Get your things.” He stalked, pacing back and forth.

“What? I’m not going to the hospital. I was attacked when I was shifted. Those fuckers were not anywhere near as good as me.”

“Don’t try to be cute.”

“I don’t have to try. Don’t hate, Gibson. I’m naturally cute. Why are you all Pacy McPacerson over there?”

“What if they know where you live? You can stay with me. Or with your parents. Or with my parents for that matter. You’re one of our cats.”

Her eyes widened, and he realized he’d made some sort of man mistake but didn’t know what it was.

“You look here. I am no one’s responsibility. You got me?”

“What? Of course you are. They clearly think you saw something when you helped me that first night. Or they see us together and believe you to be my mate, or important to me. You’re in danger because of me and I’m involved because of the jamboree business. So of course you’re my responsibility.”

“You need to go.” She pushed him toward the door but he stopped, not wanting to be moved. Dario called, Gibson knew his ring and he picked up.

“I’ll get back to you. I want you to look around, see what you can see. Any signs of surveillance and I want to know about it immediately.” Gibson hung up.

She tried to push him toward the door again and he sighed. “You’re not strong enough to move me and you’re only going to make that slice on your back worse. Just stop.”

She stepped back, the air between them, usually so hot, was now icy cold.

“What the fuck is wrong?”

“I’m apparently a weakling and a burden.”

“What? I never said that.” And that’s when he realized they were totally in a relationship and she was his—for wont of a better term—girlfriend.

“I already told you I’m no one’s responsibility and I’m not so weak I can’t take on two full-grown shifter males and kick their ass. I hope they bled out on the sidewalk.” She began to pace now, snatching her towel back and putting it around her body.
