The sun was barely making itself known to the world when the persistent buzzing of my phone woke me just past six. Groggily, I looked at the caller, saw it was the guy from the pawn shop, and tossed my phone back onto the nightstand with a groan.

A light tap sounded on my door.

“Hey, Everly?” Anchor called softly.

“Yeah?”

“I’m going to take off now. Shepard said to call him if you need anything and to come a little earlier for your shift if it’s possible. He wants to talk.”

I let out a second groan, and Anchor chuckled.

“I’ll tell him to text you in a few hours to remind you.”

I mumbled something about overbearing bosses as the front door closed.

Knowing I couldn’t ignore the call I’d missed, I rolled out of bed. I needed caffeine and a wake-up shower. After that, I would figure out what to tell the pawnbroker.

Used to Vena being up before me, I fumbled my way through starting the coffee then shuffled to the shower. I was reaching for the conditioner when I heard the door latch snick closed.

“Vena, I’m barely functioning. No drama until after coffee.”

“This place reeks of wolves,” came the low voice outside the shower curtain.

I squeaked and ripped the curtain aside enough to be sure I heard right.

Dressed in the same atrocious leisure suit as the day before, Cross stood in my bathroom, a sexy smirk tugging at his lips. His light brown gaze swept over my wet face and down to where I clutched the curtain to my chest.

“What the hell, Cross!”

I chucked the bottle at him without thinking.

He easily caught it and smirked.
