Keila didn’t waste any time. She moved as fast as she could to her room, Jason keeping an arm wrapped around her waist for support. She’d been incredibly grateful and also as pissed as hell to see him in the bar when she’d opened her eyes. He’d followed her, goddamn it, and placed himself in danger, again. All for her. It physically hurt to remember Zero’s hand flying toward him, but a warmth still stole through her body at his touch. Her shirt rode up a little as she walked and Jason’s hand came in touch with her bare skin. Sensation rushed through her. She grabbed her single bag and hobbled outside, hailing a passing cab.

“You know I’m not yours, right?”

Jason looked at her, his eyebrows raised and his eyes widened. “I’m sorry?”

She slid into the back seat of the taxi and Jason followed. “You said let’s go home like it was that simple, like I belong to you. This arrangement is temporary, very temporary.”

The cab driver met her eyes in the rearview mirror and Keila glared at him.

“I’m sorry, forgive me for once again being there to save you from your homicidal friends and then giving you somewhere safe to stay the night. Next time I’ll just finish my drink.” Jason withdrew his hand and stared out the window, and Keila immediately missed his warmth.

Give it up, already. He saved your ass twice in two days.

“I’m sorry,” she paused. Damn, it was hard. “I don’t, as a general rule, play well with others. I’ve never had to.”

He laughed at that, a short, sharp noise.

“I am sorry, and thank you.”

The cab pulled up at his apartment, and Jason opened his door and slid out onto the street. “If you really don’t want to be here with me, then I won’t stop you from leaving, and I won’t follow you anymore.” He sighed, and threw the driver a twenty. “I’m going up to my apartment now. I hope to see you there.”

Keila scrambled out after him. Catching up to him, she took his hand. “This is hard for me, but I really am thankful you were there tonight.” She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.

Jason’s eyes softened and he wrapped his arms around her in an embrace. “I’m glad I was, too, but I’m serious. I won’t stop you. I’ve seen the darkness chasing you enough in two days to get it. I can’t imagine what it must be like for you living your entire life running from it,” he paused, and his arms tightened before he let her go and stepped back. “I’m going inside to get cleaned up. If you’re not there when I’m done, well, I’ll understand.”

Keila didn’t answer as Jason walked away and then entered the lobby. Her eyes didn’t leave him and with every step Jason took away from her, her decision became clearer. She didn’t trust anyone, and never had, not since them. But Jason had come into her life unexpectedly, and had refused to leave ever since.
