Meet me at my job,” she said and gave him the building address. Heck, he was Ivy’s friend and they had nothing going. She should reject the idea but he was nice and he could be her friend. Ivan was supposed to come into town with me, but he’s being held up at his office down south so I will be there in a few hours and wonder if you’d like to meet up for dinner?” Too bad she had zero desire to go out with him. She heard concern in his voice and smiled. She was thirsty for knowledge and couldn’t stop thinking about Talen. She felt a little guilty since her main desire to speak to him was to find out more about shifters. Though he still flirted with her, he didn’t try to push the issue. She’d been chatting with him online randomly. Since they’d been back from Aurora, Gerri had gone off to visit a sick friend for the past few weeks, so she’d been working at Gerri’s on her own. Ivy had called and annoyed her enough times about going to the doctor that she’d given in and left Gerri’s early in order to make the doctor’s office before they closed. She’d been fighting fatigue for the past two weeks. She hadn’t made an appointment but they were usually really good about seeing her last minute.

Have you considered that?” “Hey, women are not the only ones who are used for sex. Use him for sexual pleasure? It made no sense. The smile died on his lips when she continued staring at him like that was an actual possibility.

He broke into a grin, thinking Bella must be joking. I say you should call Gerri before showing up on Earth and getting told off for being there to begin with.” She scrunch her face in distaste. I had to handle it and sleep through injuries I suffered in order to heal.” “It’s been four days.” She said the words like he’d committed a crime. “Are you sure you didn’t do something to piss her off?” “Come to think of it, she seemed to be in a rush to go home.” She met his gaze. She wouldn’t have left if she thought you wanted something permanent.” If you’re going to see her, you have to take it nice and slow and make sure you’re both on the same page.

“I’m trying to save you some heartache and possible physical injury here.
