Do I have something to prove?
Some deep buried need to show my worth?
I can’t deny that I took the job at the agency because I want to help people get justice for the wrongs visited on them. I can’t deny that it would feel good and right to stop a terrible man like Harlan West.
But neither of those things feel like the answer.
I’m still wondering what the answer is when Spencer asks if I’m tired, or if I want to stay up later.
“I’m pretty tired,” I tell him, because I am.
I know I won’t sleep, but that’s okay.
All I have to do is wait for him to sleep.
I’ll go back to the couch then and watch the clock tick down until it’s time to get dressed and leave the apartment.
Even though my mates don’t want me to do it. Even though Secret doesn’t want me to do this. I still feel like I need to.
The why doesn’t matter.
I use the bathroom and strip down to my shirt and panties to climb into bed.
Spencer comes into the bedroom, and I get back up.
“I forgot to change my bandage,” I explain.
He nods. “Do you need help with that?”
I shake my head. “It’ll just take a second.”
I go back into the bathroom with my purse and change the bandage.
It’s clean again. My wound might actually be starting to heal.
When I step back into the room, Spencer’s in the middle of the bed.
Perfect. I won’t need to be super careful getting out of the bed when I need to leave.
I lay down beside him and kiss his shoulder. “Night.”
He turns and kisses me on the lips, this time slipping his tongue into my mouth.
As far as first, real kisses go, it absolutely steals my breath and makes my body warm right up, ready for more. So much more.
He smiles when he moves back. “Sweet Dreams, Leanne.”
“You too, Spencer.”
My dreams would be way more than sweet, if I planned on having any.
I turn onto my side and try to relax a little.
I’ll be glad when the next day is over, and I have that jar in my hands.
