Chapter 12

Lou realized her hormone induced mistake just when they reached her apartment.

“Maybe we should go to your place instead.”

“Still worried I’ll see the dirty socks on the floor?” He joked. She tried to laugh but she was suddenly too apprehensive. “Come on we’re here already.” He got out of the Range Rover and walked around to her side when she didn’t move. She was trying to convince herself that she didn’t have to sweep the apartment if he was with her. It wasn’t working.

“Are you alright?” He asked noting her strange expression.

“I am neurotic.”

“Always a good trait in someone trained to handle a gun.” This time she smiled despite her apprehension.

“Shut up I’m serious. If we go in there you might see something you don’t want to.” He arched a brow at her and held out his hand.

“I’ll take my chances.”

Jace could feel her apprehension almost like a palpable thing as they neared her second floor apartment. She unlocked the door and drew a deep breath.

“Alright, just wait here.” She said softly after she’d opened the door. He watched as she listened before entering the apartment. Even more intriguing he saw her retrieve a hand gun and sweep the entire apartment. Very quickly and efficiently, without missing a single place. She even looked under the bed despite the fact that it appeared to be too close to the ground to allow a human to hide underneath. She replaced the gun and didn’t meet his gaze.

“See neurotic.”

“Not neurotic.” He said softly. “Do you want to tell me what happened?” It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that something bad had happened inside her apartment. Maybe she surprised an intruder.

“No.” she said vehemently.

“You know we could put in a security system.”

“I’m not putting a security system in a rented apartment. I told you I am crazy.” She moved away and he reached out and grabbed her waist pulling her back against him.

“You’re not crazy.” He whispered. He wrapped his arms around her and she pressed her face into his neck. “I told you I don’t sleep with crazy women.” She snorted with the effort to keep from laughing.

“Right because you don’t want your rabbit to get cooked.”

“That’s right, or things glued to things they shouldn’t be.” He said with a mock shudder. She laughed.

“Well I don’t have any glue but just so you’re forewarned I don’t like surprises and I have three licensed handguns.”

“Duly noted.”

“Does this mean you don’t want me naked and sitting on your desk?”

“Sweetheart, I will take you naked anyway I can get you.” He swiveled his hips against her and she remembered what had prompted their trip here in the first place. She reached over and flipped the locks on the door and pulled him into the room.

“Tell me about the rest of those kinky fetishes.” She grinned and he laughed.

“I’ll be honest. I was kidding, I don’t actually have a foot fetish. At least I didn’t. I think maybe I do now.”

“I think maybe I do too.
