Antoine agreed, and he knew that Cassandra did as well. He was well aware of how she must be feeling. He had crashed into her, and it changed everything for her. Antoine didn't regret it, but he wondered if Cassandra would. Would she wish that they had never met? Now, not only did she know about supernatural beings and a whole other side of the world that she didn't know existed, but she was soon going to give birth to a hybrid version of one. Not to mention, she’d almost been killed several times. There was a lot that Antoine had done to change her life, despite coming into it by accident. What would happen if she regretted it and wanted to leave?
He crawled into bed next to her and pulled her in close.
“Mmm. You smell nice.”
“I just got out of the shower.”
Cassandra pulled him in to her sleeping form and told him that she needed attention. Antoine, as always, was more than happy to oblige.
“I must say, Cassandra, not that it's a bad thing, but you get turned on by the strangest things.”
“Shut up and kiss me.”
Chapter 15
Cassandra
She knew that he had just done something bad. He smelled of cologne, but also of fire and soot. When she kissed him, she could smell it in his hair.
“Do we have anything to worry about now?”
He looked at her. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, did you take care of Gill?”
He agreed, and Cassandra wanted to know if he was really sure of it that time.
“I know that I said I would before, but I do hate to kill. It damages a part of your soul every time you do it.”
“I know, but I just want to know if we’re safe.”
“We are. We will have to stay at a hotel for a while until my house is built, but yes, we’re safe.”
“Why would we do that?”
“Do what?”
“Stay at a hotel?”
He looked at her confused, waiting for clarification. He couldn’t see another way.
“I have a place, Antoine, remember? Last I checked, it hasn’t been fire-bombed, so you can come stay with me.”
“Ah, with your knick-knacks.”
“Aww, you remembered.”
He didn’t answer her back but kissed her. They had a destination and even though he was going to be out of his comfort zone there, he was going to be with Cassandra, so that was all that mattered.
“Do you want to leave now?”
“Not right now, but soon.”
They kissed and neither one of them came up for air for a while.

Antoine looked around and Cassandra was waiting for his reaction. She knew that they had very different styles and she wanted him to feel at home there. She had felt at home with him and Cassandra wanted to return the favor.
