“But you can handle her, Den. To you, she’s a woman. To me, she’s still a goddess. I was raised to believe they were untouchable. And I might not be able to get beyond that.” “But we’ve lived with her for the past three months. You know she’s so much more than a myth. She’s a woman, too. Flesh and blood and desire.” “And that’s why I can’t even consider it. She’s not just a woman to me. She’s an ideal. And I might need to believe in that more than I believe in the woman.” Well, shit. This was an angle Den hadn’t even considered and it made him shake his head. “Then you need to tell her.” “I plan to. I just didn’t want you to fight me about it when I do. And as soon as my sister’s safe, I’ll leave.” “What do you mean?” “You know what I mean.” Yeah, Den was afraid he did. And that was a whole other problem. They’d been a team for the past ten years. Den knew he could function without Jacoby. He just didn’t want to. “No. There’s a way to handle this that doesn’t require us to split up.” “Well, when you figure that out, let me know.” Another silence fell and this time, neither of them broke it for a half hour. They’d finally gotten into a more populated area and they needed to ditch this car for another. Since it was three a.m. on a Sunday morning, they decided a used car lot would be their best target. No one would probably notice the car was gone until Monday morning. By that time, they should be in den territory and the car would be long gone. It wasn’t hard to find the right car. A gray Honda with a few years on it, old enough that the electronics wouldn’t be a problem. Although with Jacoby’s powers... Yeah, that still made Den want to hit something but he managed to keep his mouth shut while they pulled into the dark parking lot and made quick work of getting into the Honda and getting it started. Then Den carefully maneuvered Kari out of their old car and into the new. She never woke, which worried Den. But not enough for him to insist they wake her. They’d be at the den in a few more hours and would wake her when they got there. Until then, he and Jacoby would have to deal with each other. “Jack...look, we need to stick together. The Mal’s going to come after us and we’re going to need to watch each other’s backs.” “Don’t you think I know that? I’m trying to stay the fuck out of your way.” “Why would I want you to do that?” “So you and Kari can be together.” “But she doesn’t just want me. She wants both of us.” Jacoby’s jaw clenched so hard, Den swore he heard his teeth crack. “And that doesn’t bother you? Honestly?” “The only person I’d even consider making this work with is you.
