A FTER THE SECOND TIME Rae heard something fall in the shower, she decided to intervene. The door was closed but unlocked, and she crept silently forward, peering through the clouds of steam.

How was it that this was the boy she was dating?

For a second she just watched him from the doorway. It wasn’t often she was able to catch him unawares, and she had to say she was thoroughly enjoying the unguarded view.

He looked like something out of a magazine, something that had been photo-shopped to perfection. His dark hair streamed down his neck as he ran his fingers through it in what looked like slow motion. It was only later Rae realized she was just used to seeing him move so fast. She could see every muscular outline in his arms and back, and for a moment, a brief, mischievous moment, she almost considered jumping right on top of him.

Then again, today he would probably drop her.

And then there was the other thing...

She folded her arms across her chest with a sigh. There was that pesky little other thing. She didn’t know exactly where she and Devon stood. They were still together, of course, but they hadn’t been able to patch things up since their argument back in Scotland.

Of course the fact that Rae decided to at least entertain the idea of giving London another chance made big strides towards reconciliation. And while her mother was distracted by the arrival of Carter, he was able to slip into her room that night with no one being the wiser.

But they hadn’t talked. Or kissed. Or even held hands.

They simply slept together. By the time Rae opened her eyes the next morning he was already dressed and downstairs.

The kiss that had just happened in the kitchen, well, that had been a gamble. One that had most decidedly paid off. Being back in the city, with Guilder and the Council just an hour’s drive away, it made it easy to forget everything that had happened in the interim. If the kitchen was any indication, Devon seemed to wholeheartedly agree. Gabriel was out of sight, staying at a hotel down the road, and although a part of her had never thought it would actually happen, Julian and Devon were actually moving in next door. Devon had a place but he and Julian opted for the apartment for now.

For the first time in a very, very long time, it felt like the beginning of something.

“ Shit —Rae!” Devon whirled around with a gasp upon seeing her there. One hand flew up to his chest as the other shot out like a shield between them. He dropped them both with a sheepish look. “You scared me.”

This time Rae couldn’t help but laugh. It was all too strange. “You know, I’ve known you since I was fifteen, Devon, and I can honestly say I’ve never seen you jump like that.”

“Shut up,” he chuckled, reaching for the shampoo. “I didn’t hear you come in... Wait ,”
