Afterward, I carried Ivory to her bedroom and gently arranged her with soft down and pillows. I couldn’t stop purring.

She slept so soundly. It had to be the first time I’d seen her anything like vulnerable, and as much as I was falling for the warrior sex goddess, this suited her. Her scent was sugar and glacier water, and that sheet of long blonde hair rumpled all seductive around her shoulders.

I slid into the bed and took her into my arms. Most women felt like dolls I might break, but Ivory fit against my chest like she was made to be there.

Strong, but soft in all the right places.

She was fucking perfect.

The night ticked on and my lids drooped, but I couldn’t sleep and miss the sound of Ivory’s breathing. Which made me kind of obsessed with her, didn’t it?

I’d followed her and teased the hell out of her, but I was ready to tear the appendages off any asshole who so much as smelled her.

Textbook fucking mating behavior.

Maybe I’d been into her before, but I hadn’t been expecting...this.

Some amazing sex, sure, but mates were forever, and I was not Ivory’s favorite cat.

She wanted out of the tower and the crew.

I was still getting to know Ivory. It would take a lifetime and I still probably wouldn’t figure her out, but I needed every one of those minutes. Now that I’d found her, no woman could fit into my life.

She accepted the beast.

Hell, she liked the cat more than she liked me. I’d be jealous if we weren’t the same guy.

And if she left? My heart. Meat cleaver.

I stared away the night, watching the moonlight glisten on her skin. Under the sheets, her natural chill mingled with my heat until we averaged out warm and normal.

Two halves.

Even a few hours ago, I would’ve kicked my own ass for being this sappy, but fuck it. Ivory was mine, and I could be romantic. If she let me. The sun started working its way up, but all I could do was stare and wonder where we went from here.

A ringing phone popped my bliss bubble and I jerked fully awake. I patted around for my cell before realizing it wasn’t the one ringing. Ivory stirred but didn’t get up. She’d better not.

I snagged the landline receiver and tried not to growl into the line. “What?”

Silence. Then Tank cursed. “Sounding a little rough this morning, Ivory. Bad night?”

Shit.

I wouldn’t have been able to keep it from Tank for long, mind-reader and all, but I didn’t want him picking up my mental images just now. Ivory was officially for my eyes only. Then again, if he were close enough to get telepathic, he probably wouldn’t have called. “What do you want, Boss?”

“I need you on-site for another super murder.”

“Where?” I got busy looking for my sweatpants.

“East 89th, between Second and Third.”

That froze me mid-reach under the couch. “New York?” Houston had been the closest the killings had come to our home turf, and we’d liked it that way.
