“What other process do you have to go through?” I ask. I hadn’t thought to ask Ronan.
“Oh, they cut your uterus out,” Jerry tells me, chuckling as she sees my horrified face. “snip the men, too. I’m sure you and Ronan have already done the deed, and he told you, right?”
I shake my head.
“Wait, he didn’t tell you, or you haven’t had sex?”
“The latter. Well, and the first. Both.”
She shoots me a look, going back to riffling through my skirts. “That’s surprising.”
I’m not going to tell her about the things wehavedone, so I just ask her why.
“Because that man is a puppy dog for you. I’ve never seen him react to anyone the way he reacts to you when you just simply step in the room. It’s insane,” she tells me, rolling her eyes.
“Really?”
“Really.”
She throws a dress at me, and I don’t manage to catch it before it’s on my face. Pulling it off, I ask, “What is, um, what is the policy for relationships?”
She casts me a sideways glance before smirking. “Well, you’d have to join us. That’s about it.”
“And how do you do that?”
“You prove to the CIA that they can use you. And they’re picky. If a Fallen Angel chooses you, you have to understand that at some point, you have to either prove yourself useful or they’ll take you out.”
My head whips up. “Wait, does that mean I was always going to have a target on my back?”
Jerry shakes her head with a chuckle. “No. If you’re here for a mission, they’ll usually let it slide. We could have lied and said you didn’t know anything, too. I’m not sure. They can be idiots over there if I’m being completely frank.”
I laugh at that, lifting the dress. I don’t remember trying this one on. Or seeing it at all, actually.
“Will this even cover my ass?” I ask, standing up and holding it against me.
“You didn’t try it on?”
I shake my head.
She smiles up at me mischievously. “Ronan definitely threw that in there when you weren’t looking.”
I look down at it, deciding that if I was going to go all out, I might really go all out.

“What are you wearing?” comes a voice from behind me.
I turn around, watching as Ronan walks into his bedroom, his mouth agape as he looks me up and down.
“Don’t you like it? It somehow ended up in my closet,” I respond, smiling as I spin.
The tight black dress barely covers my ass, and there’s a wide slit that goes up until my hip.
I almost expected him to appreciate it for a moment and then tell me to take it off. To tell me that it’s too much. That he doesn’t want anyone to even look in my direction. I almost wanted him to say it.
But he doesn’t.
Instead, he comes over to me, scoops me into his arms, kisses me, and tells me that I look beautiful.
