In the Light of the Moon Jaxon laid his head on hers and sighed. “All fair points. What did you do to earn tonight?” She paused, having to think about it and then looked away. “I killed someone.” “So he wasn’t exaggerating, you are his killer.” She swallowed. “I’m not his only killer, but I’m the best. Because of the control he strips from me my human emotions don’t get in the panther’s way. It’s rare that he grants me a night like tonight where my panther and I work together.” “Who are you killing?” “I can’t answer that.” She pushed away from him, the good mood she had fading at the questions. “I really can’t. I shouldn’t be sitting here next to you.” She stood, but he pulled her back down to his lap. He nuzzled and kissed her neck. “Okay, I’m sorry, I won’t push.” She relaxed and let him hold her as the sun continued to rise. Once the sun was up and the clouds no longer held their glow they made their way back. Kass donned her clothes when they came across them and started to the back door of the mansion. She had expected that he would disappear, but he stayed behind her every step of the way. “You can’t come in.” He grinned. “Oh yes I can, Lucius has granted me free passage for right now.” “What? Why?” Her heart skipped a beat. “Truly?” “Yep, don’t know why, but I want to take the chance and get to know you.” He laughed, but she thought she sensed hesitation in his voice. “Other than your family woes and the fact that you have a birthday coming.” She unlocked the door, let him in and then slammed it closed. “Like what?” “Your hobbies, your likes, your dislikes, what you like in movies, what you like for music, anything and everything.” He smiled at her. “But that all sounds cheesy. I’d ask for a date, but we’re not humans in a regular situation and panthers don’t date. So I’m really not exactly sure how to go about this.” Kass laughed. “Come on, before someone sees your naked ass.” She grabbed his hand and led him to her room. He looked around and frowned. “Nothing here to tell you anything about you.” “Nothing here but a mattress, some claw marks and a bathroom.” She shrugged. “I don’t need any reminders of my past around, and I don’t really have any hobbies or interests to speak of.” “And why is that?” Jax asked, batting his eyes at her. She laughed and shoved him away with little force. “Because if I had spent time trying to enjoy my life, I’d be dead.” “Why?” “Because, my family was trying to kill me.” She sat on the bed and looked up at him.
