“Thank goodness for Gen,” I murmured for maybe the second time in my life.

I loved my sister, but she tended to be high-maintenance. Right now, though, I cheered her on. After all, I’d misjudged Marius at the beginning. I could be just as guilty of misjudging Clem. And if he and Gen found happily-ever-after together… Well, that would be nice for everyone.

Footsteps sounded as the men followed. All except Marius, who wrapped his arms around me and kissed me softly.

“Back to work now, but later…” he murmured.

I grinned, turning in his arms to kiss him.

Our lips moved in tandem, and soon, the police championships, Clement, and other worries faded away, leaving just my mate to focus on.

Because thelaterMarius referred to didn’t just mean tonight or next week or next year. It meant a lifetime.
