His eyes looked as if he was searching for a lie on my face. “You swear?”

I nodded, realizing that I was in love with him. That was the only reason I could honestly say that I didn’t want out. How could I want him and all the insanity that came with him if I didn’t love him? The man had crushed me yesterday, but he’d apologized, and I had been putty in his hands. It scared me that I thought I might be able to forgive him anything if he asked.

His mouth covered mine, and he kissed me like I was his source of oxygen and he couldn’t get enough.

“I’m not rushing things, but I got some shit to do. Kye is waiting on me,” Levi said, standing up.

“She needs time. You can go. I’ll call when we are ready,” Gage replied.

Levi shook his head. “I’m not fucking leaving you here. She doesn’t know this side of you yet. Someone has to watch your crazy ass until she understands what sets you off.”

If it was jealousy, then we would be fine.

“I don’t think there’s any cause for concern if we’re in this apartment,” I told him.

Levi smirked. “You have no idea. One text from your neighbor, and this crazy son of a bitch doesn’t need a damn gun to do damage. He’s trying, but that don’t mean he’s got it handled.”

Gage scowled at Levi. “You can shut up now. You’re freaking her the hell out.”

I was already freaked the hell out.

Levi shrugged as if it was something that had to be said. “Maybe she needs to make a list,” he said.

Gage glared at him. “What the fuck are you talking about?”

Levi held up my notebook and a napkin that had been on the table. “She makes lists. This napkin is a list of Netflix shows she wants to try in order. The notebook has lists—from what she needs to get accomplished that day to a list with questions about her past. You should answer them.”

“Levi!” I yelled. “Stop looking at my stuff.”

Gage grabbed my chin and pulled my gaze to his. “You make lists?”

I sighed, then nodded. “It helps me get organized.”

“You never made lists before. I like that.”

I shook my head. How did he get in my head so easily? I couldn’t stay focused.

Maybe it was best if they left. Both of them. Some space and time for me to figure out how all this fit now. “I’m fine here. I’ll call you later,” I started, and Gage turned on me, his eyes narrowed.

“You trying to get me to leave?” he asked.

I shook my head. “I just … I’m fine here. Levi needs to go and—”

“Levi can fucking go,” he said as his hand wrapped around my arm. “I’m not leaving without you.”

“Gage, I live here.” I stated the obvious.

He shook his head. “Not anymore.”

This we hadn’t talked about.

“Excuse me?”

“You said you didn’t want to leave me.”
