And I knew Mason was the right man for me. I thought the twins were as well, but IknewMason was meant to be with me.
“I’m ready,” I whispered as I slid my hands up his chest and behind his neck. “I want to be together with you like that. I want you inside of me so you know true heaven and won’t ever think of anything but me.” I brushed my lips over his. “I want us to be together in every way.”
“Me too.” He kissed me deeply, his hands everywhere and heating up my skin as they moved. “You’re almost done with undercover, right? Get that off your plate and let’s have a night just for us. I’ll handle everything.”
I nodded but then stared at him. Why had he said it like that?
“Some of the shots they took at you last night landed,” he said gently. “I don’t know what was said, but I felt it later. You were… Emotionally licking your wounds? I don’t want that on your shoulders when I give you what you need.”
“Thanks, Mason.”
He made us breakfast, and I finally got to shop with him for the idea I wanted to give him as a housewarming present. He picked out the seed starter and an indoor planter shelf, both of us agreeing on the spot and that it was the perfect fit.
“What would you think about working with the twins more?” he asked when we sat down to eat. “And maybe have a project just for you? Like I want to work on the house. I’m meeting with the contractor that Tracey brought in, and he’s going to do a full inspection, but there are parts I want to do—learn. Or maybe just painting. We could do it together.”
“No, I think you need to do that,” I said after a moment. “I get where your head is, but I don’t want to.” I reached over and took his hand when he seemed hurt. “What we did yesterday taking down that monster? That’s what I need more of. I want more time on my computer. Ilikethat and the wins help me. A lot. That’s what I’ve realized.”
He squeezed my hand and let it go. “Good. I’m glad you were thinking about it seriously.”
“I have. I do want to work on a project with the twins, but more to be sneaky since they sense a lot as elves. But also to get me training harder. Last night—even if she was a bitch hazing me, I woke up sore. That was a fucking workout and a half. I want to start having nights just doing that. Rotate around clubs and push myself physically.”
“Dancing more,” he muttered, swallowing loudly.
“Just on the main stage.” I searched his eyes. “It’s the private dances you don’t like as much, right? That’s intimate and normally topless.”
“Yeah,” he sighed. “I think I would really like you to try and keep those for only when you need to be undercover.”
“Done.” I nodded when he did a double take. “I don’t really like lap dances. It’s part of the sexy goddess fun and yes, stripping, but I only did it to find people to feed from when I was flying solo. I don’t need that anymore, and I know the twins and Aidan don’t like that part either. I’ll gladly say that I’ll cut that out unless I need to for undercover.”
“Thank you, Jasmine,” he whispered, taking my hand and bringing it to his lips. “Really, thank you.”
I nodded. “But I do want to do the endurance stage dancing. It was killer, and I think it could be a good draw. Good promo. I might have to have a cover as a supe for it, but whatever. I also want to work with Kiera on going over my choreography. They were doing it at the club and not paying. I know lots do that, but it annoys me. We need to do a review of all of the dancers as well.”
“Okay, so you have a lot of projects you want to get into, I got it,” he cut in when I ramped back up.
Just as we finished, Evan texted saying Mudbug was asking for me. I chuckled, impressed the puppy learned to talk overnight, but went and got them through the portal. It gave me the chance to talk to him about my idea of working with the demons we had working security. The background checks were all done and we were handling the red flags, but there were always people who slipped through.
But they couldn’t get by an elf.
Or like the Jackson club I was undercover with was a perfect example. There weren’t any demons on security and we needed to fix that. Evan agreed and said he could give me Tuesday and Thursday mornings to beat up whoever I needed.
Perfect.
I worked on a bunch of everything for a while and then changed to head into corporate. I wanted to ask Elijah if he had an ancient to work with to be my shield with ISLE and handle the requests to get involved in problems… Among other things.
He was actually near my office tapping his phone. He glanced up and nodded. “Good, I was just messaging you. There were twelve supes who didn’t sign the new addendums to their contracts.”
“I remember. We did as we said. We fired them and they got severance.”
“Their councils are objecting to the decision and the addendum.”
“Shocker,” I drawled.
He snorted. “They’re demanding a meeting and we reverse our decision.”
“Oh, they can’t meet with us about having demons as pets because they’re so fucking busy, but this they have time for? How fucking predictable and pathetic. Fine, invite them to my party.” I pulled out what Melissa had sent me this morning and handed it to him.
“What did you do?” he sighed.
