Kevin said, “Kincade, it was such a good day today. No one got hurt, nothing blew up, and the future Luna is fine.” I joked, “Aww, don’t worry guys the night is young. It could turn around.” Both glared at me as I laughed.

When we got to my place we found Chase was outside with new furniture. He already had his shirt off. I made sure I wasn’t drooling and hopped out of the car. Chase wrapped his arms around me and kissed me the second I’d shut the car door. He pulled back, “I missed you.” I replied, “I missed you too.” Chase kissed my forehead, “Good.”

He turned to Kevin and Kincade, “Go home for the night. I’ve got her.” Both nodded and took off. I pushed him away, “We have furniture to move. You can’t be all hot boss man with your shirt off. A woman can only handle so much. The ovaries are threatening to explode already from this get up.”

Chase wiggled his eyebrows, “Oh really?” I nodded, “Yes, really. Grab the dresser.” He laughed and one by one we carried things inside. Chase insisted he only needed help with the dresser and bed. Then I got to watch him and instruct him where I wanted things.

I surveyed the pieces he’d picked out. I told him, “You have good taste or someone does. This is nice furniture.” Chase smiled, “I thought it would suit you.” I was somewhat stunned, “You picked it out?” Chase nodded, “Like I would let someone else pick out my Sweethearts bedroom furniture.” I shook my head chuckling, “You are too much.” Chase told me, “I’m going to take a shower.”

That wouldn’t do. I jumped on his back and bit his neck hard. I seductively said, “I don’t think so Mr. furniture moving man. We only have so much time before my man comes home. I have needs.” Chase growled and threw me off his back onto the new bed.

He asked, “Is that so, Miss Scott?” I nodded, “Please Mr. Furniture moving man. You’ve got me all hot and bothered. I’m desperate for you, I could barely control myself watching you move all this furniture around.”

He pounced on me, “How much time do I have?” I smirked, “About an hour.” He kissed me hard. He ripped my clothes off saying, “Then I’d best get to work so we don’t get caught.” I was moaning his name in seconds. When we finally fell apart, I said, “I think you went over your time limit, Mr. Furniture moving man.” Chase teased, “Yet we didn’t get caught.” I snorted and got out of bed. Chase followed me into the shower.

I couldn’t stop my smile. I wanted him forever, I wanted to marry him. The thought shocked me. I’d always thought marriage wasn’t for me. Even when I was with the Troll, I didn't want to get married. With Chase I really did. Maybe we could make it work.

He looked at me then gently asked, “What?” I admitted, “I’m just thinking about the future.” Chase smiled, “You are my future.” I agreed, “And you’re mine.” Chase kissed me, “I’m glad you see it my way. Stop getting shot then, and next time duck for cover.” I rolled my eyes, “Duly noted. Some of us didn’t get supernatural hearing. We find it annoying.” I did actually, and I knew Haley did too. Particularly since the Hackura had the ability and she didn’t.

We managed to get a few hours of sleep, but not much more because keeping our hands off each other was too difficult. In the morning when we walked downstairs Chase asked me, “What’s your favorite candy? I have noticed my Sweetheart has a sweet tooth.”

I furrowed my brow in confusion. Chase hadn’t seen me eat candy. Why would he think I have a sweet tooth? I answered, “I like dark chocolate and M&M’s. Crunch bars are a favorite of mine too.” Chase smiled, “Noted.” He smiled as he walked outside. Men were weird.

I giggled as soon as I stepped on my porch, “My car is back!” Chase smiled, “I see that.” I opened the door to a note from the Vampire King himself.

Ms. Scott,

I had this delivered to your office. The young lad named Ted happened to be around. He said he would bring this car to you. I figured that would be fine since he is your business partner. I am very sorry this unfortunate incident occurred at all, but especially on my property. Rest assured your belongings, as well as yourself are safe in my home. This will not happen again. Our next event’s security will be tighter lass.

My deepest apologies,

King Arthur

I spoke aloud, “I wonder why Ted was at the office late enough to run into King Arthur.” Chase answered, “He and Matt went back to Alpha Eric’s club last night for date night.” I smiled, “I’m sure they had fun then.” Chase looked away but not before I saw the guilt in his eyes.

He whispered, “I wish I could take you there.” I consoled him, “Hey, that’s not your fault. Technically speaking, it’s mine. This is my choice. Maybe one night you, me, Reagan, Cameron, Matt, Ted, Derrick, and hopefully Sally can go to your club on a weeknight. That would be fun.” I wasn’t going to have him miss out on another weekend night revenue. Not at a club. Chase kissed me then agreed, “Consider it done.” I laughed, “Oh you!”

The rest of the week passed by in a flash. Heath had texted me to remind me about my missions. He stressed I had to run fast to make it back to Chase’s border with Alpha Sophia. Even going so far as to say she was Eric and Haley’s ally too. What was his deal with this border? I mean it’s in our territory where the Shroud is. It’s not like he couldn’t just step out and help if things got out of hand. I shrugged it off.

He’d sent me the file with a picture of the witch I was going to kill in Alpha Raven’s territory. Honestly, after the last few witches I’d encountered I had no problem with it. I was due to get to kill one. Haley had texted me that the three witches that came after me were trying to find their friend that originally came with the Troll.

They were just paid for the job. They had no affiliation with said Troll just like I’d thought they wouldn’t. She’d given the original witch back to Chase for some reason. She was salty about it but abided by his wishes. She assured me Matt was going to kill the and I quote ‘witch bitch.’

I rolled my eyes at that obvious lie they told her. Chase probably killed the witch in question. Haley let her kids practice their fairy skills before she and Eric killed the ones that remained in their dungeons. I kind of wished I’d gotten to see her kids in action.

Apparently, she didn’t put the fire on their heads out until after they died. She said they could feel it burning their head, but it would never spread. She could be pretty scary if she wanted to be. I was here for it though. I was also here for the fact I was one of the people she wanted to protect so fiercely. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Because it’s the same way I felt about her.

Friday rolled around before I knew it. I opened my work closet not expecting anything to be there. I only checked in the off chance Haley had added clothes that would be perfect for my date. To my astonishment, there were clothes there. I snorted and shook my head. Haley had snapped three outfits in my closet because of course she did. I pulled the note off the garment bag to read what she’d said this time.

Lex,

I know. You don’t need these dresses, but I found this website called Pinterest. Emmaline talked about it, so I googled it. Do you know of this Pinterest deal? OUTFITS everywhere. I scrolled for hours! Eric said I had to stop. He was being a damn spoil sport. I found these outfits and I had to conjure them for you. They scream LEXI! LEXI! LEXI!

Love you,

Haley

P.S. If that’s not the saying, I fucking give up. Miley said it was right.
