“She’s your . . . friend?” Victor asked, looking skeptical.
“What? Are you implying I can’t have friends?” Regent asked.
“He’s not implying that at all,” Gracen protested.
“That is exactly what I am implying,” Victor said.
“Victor!” Gracen lightly slapped his chest. “That’s not nice.”
“Yes, not nice at all,” Regent said. “Jilly is a friend.”
“That’s why you’re so concerned about her?” Victor asked. “Because she is afriend.”
“Exactly.”
No matter how attracted he was to her, acting on that would only lead to disaster. What if they slept together and she grew attached to him?
It could get messy.
No. Best to stick to friendship.
That was all they could be to each other.
“I didn’t realize that friends spied on their friends,” Victor said.
“Of course you didn’t. Since you’ve never had friends.”
“Hey! Victor has friends.” Gracen frowned at Regent.
“No, I don’t,” Victor replied. “And I still think you’re going beyond friendship. You shouldn’t be spying on her.”
“I agree,” Gracen told Regent gently. “I wouldn’t spy on Sammy like this.”
“You wouldn’t care if Sammy was being bullied?” Regent asked.
“Of course I would.”
“Then what would you do?” he asked.
“Get her to talk to me about it?” Gracen suggested.
“Which is just what I’m going to do. We’re going around in circles. I’ll speak to her about this.”
“And if she won’t talk to you about it?” Gracen asked.
“Then I suppose I’ll just have to take care of things myself.”
But no matter what, Jilly wouldn’t have to put up with her bitch boss for much longer.

Her house had an extra security light.
Jilly stopped and stared. Then she rubbed her eyes, positive she was seeing things.
Why was there another security light attached to her house? It was eight at night. She was tired, her feet hurt, and tomorrow, she had to work at the library until five and then at Sexy Sins all evening.
She felt . . . worn thin.
