“I told you, love. You have two choices. Either move into another apartment where your previous tenants relocated, or move in with me.”
My nose flared at him. “I’m moving in with them.”
He tsked. “Too late, princess. I gave you the choice to choose before.” He glanced at me and smiled, a dimple popping on his left cheek. I wanted to smack it off of him. “Now I choose for you, and you’re moving in with me.”
“I don’t want to!”
“Too late.”
“You can’t do this!” I whined, covering my face. “I’m sure this is some sort of house kidnapping or something.”
“Oh, come on, don’t be so dramatic,” he said. “You’ll have your own room, and I won’t ask you to pay rent… at least till our contract lasts. And you get to live with a sexy man.”
Damon dared to wink at me after saying the last sentence.
At least no rent was a good deal, and if I got to eat delicious food while I lived with him, it would be even better. Not to mention, the media would eat it up that we lived together. It made sense.
Dang it, he is too smooth.
I nodded. “Right. I can’t wait to cuddle with the sexiest man tonight.”
“Really?” He looked so hopeful.
I smiled and batted my lashes. “I’m sure Void missed me as much as I missed him.”
He sighed and rolled his eyes. “Brat.”
Even though he tried to hide it, there was a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips with a tiny dimple.

SUMMER
Damon grew his own vegetables, so when we reached his home, Void, with his big yellow eyes, saw us from the glass doors as Damon nerded about different kinds of chilies, which all looked the same to me. He showed me the different fertilizers he used and showed me a chart where he had written how much water each plant needed. He had made a spreadsheet for his plants.
It was adorable.
I would have never thought that Damon, out of all the people I know, was into gardening and growing his own little farm in his backyard. Void greeted me at the front door, and as soon as I scooped him up in my arms and pressed a million kisses to his chubby face, I was glad that Damon house-kidnapped me.
Unfortunately, Damon got my cold the next day, and I nursed him back to health. He looked even grumpier than before, but he was back on his feet in no time.
Since we had lost precious time, we had to pull our asses at work. Heather occasionally called me to remind me how terrible Damon was and I shouldn’t live with him.
“Why the fuck didn’t she offer you to be her roommate?” Damon asked one night while we were watching Mean Girls. Void was asleep between us on the couch.
I didn’t have a reply because I never thought about it. He was right. Why didn’t Heather ask me to move in with her? After all, I was the reason she got a huge bonus and a raise to purchase that apartment.
I was humming and doing laundry when I found Void’s whisker on the floor. I picked it up with a grin and stashed it in a tiny box. It was my personal belief that if you find a cat’s whisker on the floor, that day will go great or something lucky will happen.
I hoped it did. I had been ignoring Carol’s calls, even though it was making me stressed about her situation. I just hoped she’d move out.
“Whatcha reading about?” I asked, walking into Damon’s home office and finding him fumbling around with a book and trying to hide it from me.
I narrowed my eyes when he lied, “Nothing.”
I hummed and, swiveling his chair, I straddled him. His eyes darkened, and I smiled, cupping his face and kissing him. I moaned when he kissed me back, his hands lowering to my ass.
