I laughed because we’d snooped all over Callum’s house. She was right, though. That was terrible girlfriend etiquette. “Well, I actually remember the code to the vault. From when Bennett showed us inside. We just have to break in. A classic breaking and entering. Like we did at Callum’s place.”
“Do you not remember how poorly that went?”
“What do you mean? You two are together now.”
Emma laughed. “Yeah, but we almost got caught. Several times. And then I left him that voicemail…”
“Like I said, it all worked out. You and Callum are together now.”
“We could have been arrested!”
I laughed. “Officer Davis would never arrest me. So it’s a moot point. I’m thinking we break into the bank sometime past midnight when we know for sure the guys are asleep.”
Emma put up her hand. “Slow your roll. Callum has a room full of relics too. That he said he’d be happy to show me at any time. Let me check in there first before we rob a bank, please.”
I sighed. “Fine. But I’m actually really looking forward to pulling a bank job. Rumor has it that my newboyfriends are thieves. I think if they catch us they’ll just be impressed. Maybe even a little turned on.” I winked at her.
Emma laughed. “Maybe. Or they’ll be pissed that their brand new girlfriend of less than 24 hours is robbing them.”
“I’m helping them. Not robbing them.”
“Either way, my thing first. And then as a last resort we’ll try your thing. Deal?” She put her hand out for me to shake.
“Deal.” I shook her hand. “It’s not like I was going to pull a bank job without you anyway. Fingers crossed Callum doesn’t have the coin, though. Because I really want to do it.”
“Zoey.”
“Emma!” I said with a laugh.
“Shh, we don’t want to wake up Kebe.”
I laughed again. “Why? Afraid she’ll start texting Callum in the middle of the night or something?”
“Gah, I hope not.”
“Don’t worry, it’s great that she’s living here. I can keep an eye on her.” I would never let her steal Emma’s man. I yawned and lay back, my head hitting one of my pillows.
Emma collapsed down beside me. “It feels like college all over again.”
I smiled. “Except now we both have boyfriends.”

I slowly opened my eyes. Emma was still fast asleep. I needed coffee. A ton of it.
I was okay with Otto’s secret. Truly. But I could barely sleep last night. I kept picturing Titan’s sharpteeth and his low growl. I tried to shake away the image as I headed downstairs.
The sound of a drill made me turn my head. I almost screamed when I saw a man standing on a ladder by my fireplace.
Wait.“Ace?” I said.
He turned to look at me over his shoulder. “Good morning, Zoey.” He gave me one of his charming smiles as he climbed off the ladder.
“What are you doing?” I asked as I stared at the camera he’d just finished putting up.
He set his drill down and pushed his shaggy blonde hair off his forehead. “Installing a security system for you.”
God, he was so handsome. But I was a little distracted by what he said. It looked like that wasn’t the only camera. I saw a couple just in this room. “How did you even get in here?”
