Wait.
“They let him? They were happy with him in their enclosure?” he asked. “Is his dick all right?”
Shit. That was a question he never thought he’d ask.
“Uh, I wouldn’t say they were happy. But they haven’t exacted their revenge so I think we’re okay. And he came out with everything unharmed.”
Christ. So now he owed this bastard for stopping to help Isa with her car trouble and retrieving eggs from his she-demon chickens.
“I really am sorry, Tink. I wish I’d been here to help you. Is your car all right?”
“It’s at the garage. I’m not sure how long it will take to get fixed, though. I’m thinking about renting a car since I still have to get to work on Monday.”
She should quit that job. He knew it didn’t make her happy anymore and he hated that. But he bit back those words.
Saying that in the past had never gone well for him, strangely enough.
“You know I’ll take you.” In fact, heneededto take her. He didn’t like the idea of her broken down on the side of the road for anyone to come along and hurt her.
And in this case,anyonewas the man who stared at her way too much.
Remy.
Not that he’d hurt her. Loki wanted to hate him. It was burning a hole in his gut. He’d been there for her when Loki couldn’t be.
Fuck his screwed-up fucking mind.
“I know you will,” she said softly. “But you shouldn’t have to. I’m a big girl.”
No, she wasn’t.
Sometimes she had to be. But he knew that other times she just wanted to sink into Little headspace and forget about the world. All of her worries and concerns.
He got it.
Because he’d give anything to be able to do the same. Going into nature gave him some respite. Being with Isa brought him more peace. But the last thing Loki wanted was to be a burden.
Isa had had to grow up fast because of her asshole dad and stepmom. She’d lost her childhood.
And he hated that.
“I don’t like you driving that much on your own anyway,” he said. He’d always hated it. He still didn’t understand why she couldn’t work for him.
But she’d told him that she didn’t want a job just handed to her. That she had to earn it.
What kind of bullshit was that?
“You okay?” She snuggled in against him. “What do you need?”
Loki wrapped an arm around her, breathing her in.
She smelled like happiness.
Like home.
And she always had.
“Just you.”
