Another box entered through the front door.
"That one can stay there for now."
Her voice echoed throughout the living room as she continued directing everyone around her.
Juliet was busy directing another mover when a hand suddenly closed around her wrist.
Before she could react, she was pulled backward. A startled gasp escaped her lips as her back collided with a hard chest, and the familiar scent surrounding her immediately told her who it was.
Looking up, she found Cassian staring down at her.
His grip tightened slightly around her wrist, and the intensity in his gaze made her heart skip a beat. There was something dark in his expression, something that looked dangerously close to anger.
"You are not leaving this house!"
Around them, the movers instantly became fascinated by anything except their employers. Several lowered their heads and hurriedly carried boxes in the opposite direction, clearly pretending they couldn't hear a thing.
Cassian paid them no attention.
His eyes never left Juliet's face.
"You're staying here," he continued, his jaw tightening slightly. "And the more trouble you create, the more ways I'll find to make sure you remain here."
Juliet blinked at him.
Then she laughed.
The bright sound immediately eased some of the tension in the room. A smile spread across her face as she tilted her head and looked up at him.
"No one is leaving."
Confusion flickered across Cassian's features.
"What are you doing then?"
Juliet gestured proudly toward the mountain of boxes surrounding them.
"I'm moving in."

Cassian froze.
For the first time that morning, genuine surprise appeared on his face.
Juliet's smile widened.
"You told me to live here, didn't you?" she asked, spreading her arms dramatically. "So naturally I need my things."
Then she pointed toward the movers.
"Your people brought everything from my apartment."
Cassian's gaze shifted toward the boxes filling the living room before returning to her face.
A deep, possessive satisfaction settled heavily inside him.
Juliet, completely unaware of where his thoughts had gone, leaned closer and lowered her voice.
