“Yes.”

I started laughing.

I had red lightning when I quit.

“I fucking love your laugh,” he growled.

And farg me.

I loved how much he did.

“So I’ll find something to do for a few hours tomorrow. And I’ll head back home before you get together with your females on Sunday,” he summed it up.

That did not thrill me.

“Now you need to know, I’m taking over your security,” he declared.

Although this made sense, and it was so great that Aleksei was offering the RS, it felt like a burden and definitely a favor I could never repay.

Thus, Tanyn said, “He’s protective of me. I got into some shit at The Eyrie. He took my back. I’ll have a word with him and he’ll get over it.”

“Rewind,” I said tartly. “You got into some shit at The Eyrie?”

“Yes.”

“What shit?”
