I don't recall Lara ever spelling that out in a plain-talk manner, something that was unambiguously a suggestion/offer.

She has spent her whole life (a couple of centuries at minimum) working the flirt-and-tempt angle.  Even if she meant it seriously, I think she'd couch it in flirt-and-tempt ways (and, consequently, Harry would always see it as a predator's lure).

I simply don't have the time to research it at the moment, but it is clearly implied from the get go.  If you think about it Lara has all the qualities that Harry wants and loves in a woman, only drawback is she is an unapologetic vampire, he is aware of that also at all times.

In White Night, Lara asks Harry (paraphrasing) if he is determined to remain with the Council, with an implied offer to work for her.

In Turn Coat, there's a scene where Lara predicts that someday Harry will (again paraphrasing) sleep beside her and take comfort from her, etc.  Not so much an offer as a prediction.

 There still is the little matter of the true love Harry felt for Murphy burning the crap out of her any time she tried to comfort him.  Then again, that can be gotten around.

Bingo.

What I remember from White Night, is Lara saying "I have enough food" when she offers him release from his burdens. In the sample chapters from Twelve Months, (click to show/hide)Harry recalls her offer and says something like Maggie is the only reason he doesn't take it.
