“What’s up with you and your boss?” Shane asked as he drove.

“What do you mean?” I tried to play it cool. Rose already knew a little bit, but not that he’d been the one to kill me. Maria was the only one who knew that apart from him. Even my colleagues at work didn’t know.

“He’s got a strange vibe when it comes to you. You two have a … weird relationship,” Shane raised an eyebrow in the rearview mirror at me.

“They used to date,” Rose jumped in and I scowled. Way to go Rose. Maybe I didn’t want to share that.

“Damn, you dated a vamp?” Shane chuckled. “Does Percy know that?”

“Yep, they seem to have this hate for each other and yet they tolerate each other because they’re both part of my life,” I said as I stared out the window.

“Wow, that must get awkward sometimes. I take it he’s still into you then? What’s a vampire like anyway? You’d think that since technically their blood doesn’t flow, then they shouldn’t really be able to get it up.”

“Shane!” Rose hit him in the shoulder in shock, which he simply chuckled at.

“We never went that far,” I mumbled as I sunk down into the seat. My cheeks were slowly reddening, and I shifted myself out of his view.

“Really? Huh.”

I couldn’t help that I used to fantasize about it though. The dates we’d had, he’d been a true gentleman, and we never ended up in bed. Something I wasn’t sure if I regretted or not.

“So this is your building right?” Shane pulled me out of my thoughts.

“Yep, just wave this tag, it’ll let you into the underground parking,” I leaned forward to hand him my apartment tag.

“Got it.”

I drummed my fingers on my leg as Shane pulled up to the buzzer at the gate and swiped the card on the pad. It beeped and the gate slowly rolled open, and he handed my card back.

We drove in and I instructed Shane on where to go for my apartment’s assigned parking.

“Um, were we meeting Percy here?” Rose asked as she swiveled in her seat to look out the back window.

“No, why?” I frowned.

“He just followed us in on foot,” Rose shot me a look.

Crap. I’d ditched him earlier and gone to Rose’s. I hadn’t returned his calls or texts. I’d assumed he’d just gone home. The guilt gnawed at me like mad as I ground my teeth.

I could just disappear rather than deal with this, right? No, that was childish.

“Percy? Hey!” Shane acted surprised as he stepped out of the car.

“What are you guys doing here?” Percy asked as he strode right up to the car.

“Just catching up with Ivy, it’s been years since I’ve seen her.”

“You okay?” Rose murmured as she gave me a worried look.

“Yeah,” I nodded, but I hesitated before stepping out of the car.

“Nice to see you’re safe and home,” Percy turned on me as soon as I was out of the car. His voice was strained, and I knew he was pissed.
