“Sure you can.”

“Jenner, I’ll go crazy.”

“You like staying at home, though,” he pointed out.

“Not all the time. Besides, you have some more concerts coming up.”

“I’m thinking about canceling them,” he admitted.

“You can’t cancel them. They’re booked out. Jenner, you’ll disappoint your fans.”

He knew that. And he hated to do it. But he couldn’t imagine going to these concerts while there was this threat hanging over their heads.

“I think you and Tobias should stay here,” he told her.

“You don’t want me there?”

Shit. Fuck.

Why didn’t he think before he said shit like that?

Jenner cupped the side of her face and tilted her head back. “I always want you with me. Understand? Always. You’re my light. The sweetest thing in my life. And I can’t be without you.”

Shit. He needed to be careful.

“But what I want most in this life is for you to be safe. More than I want my own happiness and safety. You have to be protected, Immy. And if that means staying here, then here is where you’ll stay.”

Immy didn’t likethat at all.

Not that he didn’t want her to be safe. But that he prioritized it above everything else.

Including his happiness.

He shouldn’t do that.

“I want you to be safe and happy, though,” she whispered.

Jenner gently brushed her hair off her face. “I’ll be fine, baby. You’re what’s important. It’s always been you.”

Immy sucked in a breath. Was this what she’d been waiting for? Was he going to make a move on her?

Maybe you should make a move on him.

“Jenner,” she whispered, sliding onto his lap and facing him.

“Yeah?” He stared up at her with half-lidded eyes.

Was she really going to do this? She cupped the side of his face and then leaned in. She heard his breath hitch and she pressed her lips to his.

Oh. God.

It was everything she’d ever imagined. And so much more. She ran her tongue along his lips. Immy didn’t have a lot of experience with kissing. Bob had tried. That’s when she’d realized he wanted more than friendship and she’d run out on him.

But she’d read about kissing. And this had sounded hot. She’d always wanted to try it. She moved up onto her knees so she was looming over Jenner. He smelled so good and his lips were soft and warm and everything she’d ever wanted.

Then he drew her back and she let out a groan of disappointment.

No. No. No.
