Chapter Eleven

Traffic was heavy as usual at this time of day in the city so Jason had time to make the most of the close contact he and Toni shared in the car. It was probably the last time for a while that they could be themselves. In a few minutes, Toni would be thrust back into the life of excess and luxury. Jason was worried that between the stress of what was happening in her life and the influence of her family, he would get shoved aside.

He was so proud of her, though, the way she was dealing with it all. Jason had nearly lost his mind when Nate had calmly informed them of the device he’d intercepted. The sudden urge he’d felt to punch Nathan in the face for telling Toni about it so callously, was hard to resist. The bastard was an insensitive arsehole. Didn’t he even think how that sort of information might affect her? It wasn’t a normal occurrence to be sent a bomb with your name on it. Stupid fuckwit.

Glad he knows what he’s doing, though. Better to have Nate on my side than the other. Wouldn’t mind running a check on her father, though. Got to be something in his past… Something he has done that’s putting my woman in danger. Jason paused as he reflected on his choice of words. My woman? Yeah, I like the sound of that. Jason swiveled his head so he could catch a glimpse of Toni’s face as she rested against his shoulder. There were dark circles under her eyes, her lips were turned down and there was a frown, owing to her lack of sleep or maybe just sadness.

Jason lowered his head until he could brush his lips over her temple. “It’ll be okay, luv. I’m not gonna let anyone hurt you. Nate’s the best man I know for this kinda thing. We’re lucky to have him on board. It’s going to be all right.”

Jason didn’t respond to Nathan’s snort.

The car finally pulled to a stop outside the high-rise building that housed Grimaldi Holdings. He and Nate had already decided that the underground car park was not where they wanted to be, given that the un-sub had experience with explosives. Better to make a quick dash from the curb, both men shielding Toni.

All hell broke loose, though, the second the entourage entered the Grimaldi building. Security was everywhere, unfortunately not all of it Haven men. Police were crawling all over. They were just about to enter the lift when Jason felt a hand on his shoulder.

“I need you to step away from the elevator door, sir, and identify yourself,” someone demanded from behind him.

“Not a chance, bud. I’m taking Toni up to speak to her father and no one is about to stop me,” Jason replied with enough of a threat in his voice to make it clear he was dead serious.

“I said stop… I’m a police officer and have given you a clear directive. If you don’t comply immediately, I will arrest you.
