Chapter Six

The next morning, I wake up to the sight of my boyfriend Knox. He leans over my bed, wearing a leather jacket and a sly grin. There are a number of things I could say at this moment.

How did you get into our apartment?

Why are you here at 7 a.m.?

Do I smell bagels?

Instead, I say the most important thing first: “Elle and I are going fae shopping today.”

Knox lifts his brows. “I didn’t know they were for sale.”

“They’re not, but they have their own network of hidden stores in Manhattan.” I lace my fingers behind my head. “Remember how you wanted to know about the next big scheme for me and Elle?”

“I did.”

“This is it. Fae shopping.” And because I just woke up and am not yet thinking clearly, I move right on to the second most important order of business. “Thank you for bringing me bagels.”

One advantage of being a werewolf is you have an incredible sense of smell.

“I did, yeah.” Knox runs his finger along my jawline. “Alec is bringing the lox and stuff.”

At the sound of Alec’s name, Elle’s voice echoes in from her room. These walls are like paper. “Did Knox say Alec is coming?”

“That he did. He’ll be here any second with lox.”

Elle whips open my bedroom door. “Good morning, Bry. I let Knox in. Is Alec coming over?”

Knox does his chin-nod thing. “Yup.”

“Do I look terrible?” she asks. “I’m not a morning person.” Elle isn’t lying. Her hair is knotted into one of those beehive things that went out in the 1960’s. It really is amazing the kind of bedhead she achieves.

No point making Elle feel crappy about her bedhead, though. “Who looks great in the morning?”

“Runway models,” says Elle. “Most of lower Manhattan.”

Okay, she has me there.

“You look adorable. I love those jammies.” Today, Elle is wearing these super-cute flannel pajamas with little cartoon tigers all over them. Adorable.

“Really?” She smooths down the top. “Well, I’m not leaving them on just to look cute for Alec.”

I’m aiding her self-delusion, but what else are friends for? “Okay, but no boys when we go fae shopping.”

Knox gives me a chin nod. “That’s right. Fae don’t like weres.” His ice-blue eyes narrow. “Will you be safe?”

“Bry has fairy power,” explains Elle. “So I can sneak her into stores. But having you along? Nuh-uh.” She twiddles her fingers at us. “I’ll let you discuss.” With that, Elle leaves the room.

Knox frowns. “I’m not too crazy about you going shopping at stores run by the fae. I can wait outside or whatever.”

I crook my finger at Knox. He leans in closer. “Here’s the thing, big guy.”

Knox runs his nose along the length of mine. That move always makes my insides go squirmy. “Yeah?”

“Most of my schemes with Elle are dangerous.”

“I get it.” Knox brushes a kiss across my lips. “You two don’t need a babysitter. Just promise me one thing.”

“What?”

“Keep your cell handy. Text me TBL for trouble. That way, I’ll know to come running.”

“TBL. You got it.
