She smiled.“Which is why I have a gun.”
Given her profession, that didn’t surprise me.“Is it in your purse?”
“No, it’s in a lockbox in—”
“You should get it now, Ivy.”
She chewed her food and swallowed.“I’ll do that before you leave.Surely, you have better places to be.That reminds me, where do you live?”
I swallowed down a chuckle.“Why?Gonna send them my way?”
Her brows drew together and she almost frowned.“No, you followed me home.Fair’s fair in my world.”
“I live at the clubhouse.”
Her eyes widened.“You have that as your address on your license?”
I fought off a grin because that was what my sister said when we moved into the clubhouse – the brothers would never let us give that address.“No, my license still lists an old address.”
She tilted her head.“That’s not too smart.”
I chuckled.“Makes it harder for them to track me.”
“They know where you work.”
“Yeah, but that’s a problem for me and Killian.”
She stood and grabbed my empty plate.“Well, you should be on your way.I’ll be fine.”
A loud buzzer went off near her door.She gasped and fear shrouded her face.
I pressed my lips together, tamping down my anger.The next thing I knew she was at the door, talking into an intercom.“Who is it?”
I hurried up behind her as a garbled male voice said, “Amazon delivery.”
A zing of awareness shot through me when I grabbed her hand before she pressed any more buttons.I lowered my lips toward her ear and whispered, “You got a camera out there?”
She nodded and pulled her phone from her pocket.On the screen a man in a uniform walked away.
“Were you expecting a delivery?”
Her eyes slid to the side.“Probably.I have subscriptions for certain things.”
I didn’t trust this.Something about an Amazon delivery this late bugged me.“Humor me.Go get your gun.”
“It’s a package.”
I stared into her jade-green eyes.“It could be a trap.”
She kept staring at me and twisted her pursed lips.“Okay, I’ll humor you.”
She hurried through her dining-living room combo and into her bedroom, then came back with a small handgun.
“I’m going out the side door.”I held out my hand.“Give me your keys.I’ll come in with the package if it’s all clear.”
She went to her purse, plucked out her keys, and handed them to me.“Why do I need my gun if you’re going out there?”
I tucked the keys into my pocket.“In case I’m ambushed and they come in here.”
