Nate walked through the dry, cracked landscape of the Outback with Greasy Dave at his side. He only vaguely remembered leaving Maddox’s office. It was so odd that Talia had been there when he’d left, but Nate didn’t question Maddox. It wasn’t his place.

Besides, talking with his leader was just what he’d needed. He’d been getting too soft with Adelaide and was losing sight of the plan. Now he was refocused with deadly intent. The time was right to take his plans with Adelaide a step further. He’d gained her trust, now to make her love him. Once he had that, he could do anything to or with her that he wished. And he’d serve her up to Maddox on a silver platter.

“Nate.” He suddenly heard her voice in his mind.

But something was wrong. She sounded as she did when she started the shaking….

Nate looked at Dave. “Something’s wrong. Gotta go.” He took off at a sprint. Couldn’t have her going dragon on him. That would ruin everything.

In moments he made it to the house and burst through the door. Nate took in her prone form and was immediately beside her. He picked her up, sat down on the couch, and cuddled her in his lap.

“I’m here. I’m here, now,” he murmured.

“This sucks,” she said through chattering teeth, using an expression Nate said often.

“I told you, m’lady, I would always come for you,” he said, laughter in his voice.

“Are you quoting that movie again?” she groaned. “Right now? Really?”

“How could you tell?”

“I don’t know. Something goofy in your voice.”

“We really do need to get you to watch it soon.” He gave another soft chuckle.

“Mmm-hmmmm.” She was starting to relax. “I was almost to a point where I didn’t need you anymore. And then this happens. Damn.”

“Swearing? You must be upset,” Nate teased.

He appreciated her spunk. But he had plans for her before she gained that much control. He needed her to be dependent on him just a little while longer.
