[color=#B0C4DE]”Mmm, usually, but this is the twenty-first century. Women can want things now, too,”[/color] I counter.

I go in the opposite direction, looking for locked doors or something. I eventually find a door, but I think it leads to the basement. [color=#DB7093]”Nic, over here,”[/color] I call. I scrounge through my bag until I find my lock pick set. I kneeled down, placed the instruments into the lock, and finessed the tools until the door unlocked.

I stood back up, putting my tools away before I opened the door.

I grinned when Nero effortlessly hopped into my lap. I rest one of my hands on Nero’s legs, rubbing my thumb along their smooth skin. [color=#006400]”I’m happy I make you so curious.”[/color]

I was genuinely glad I could. It validated the feelings Nero brought out within me. I knew we didn’t make sense as a pair. A demon and a part shapeshifter, part dragon, and my friends were concerned, but I knew how Nero made me feel and how I made them feel. I couldn’t explain that to them, but I didn’t need to. All I needed was to know Nero loved me as I loved them.
