Lina would stay with him. Everything he ever wanted he had because of the woman lying asleep in his arms. She believed in his vision for the clinic. Heck, she’d helped him make the WWR clinic a sustainable reality. She believed in him. He was worthy in her eyes. Lina knew of the man he had been and accepted the man he was now. If only he knew who was after her and why? Lina depended on him to keep her safe. He’d followed up with the police, looking for a link between the two incidents at Lina’s place. The roses had been dipped in pig’s blood, but no roses were found at the scene tonight. Two and a half weeks and no leads on Lina’s stalker.

Gideon listened to Lina’s slow, steady breathing relishing the feel of her soft, womanly curves against his body. The flood lights at the corner of the neighbor’s house came on, streaming yellow-white light through the shears he’d forgotten to close. He threw off the top sheet, preparing to exit the bed. Lina had a long day and he didn’t want the light to disrupt her sleep. The last thing he wanted to do was leave the bed, but he’d be curled around her before her body heat dissipated off his skin. A grating sound from the patio caught his attention. He swung his feet to the carpet and stood.

A low hung shadow passed at the glass door, halting him in place. The muscles along his back tightened in anticipation, just as an object came crashing through the bedroom window. Gideon sprang into action covering a sleep roused, screaming Lina with his nude body. The object slammed into the lamp closest next to Lina, the contents on the table flew in varying directions as ceramic shrapnel rained down onto the bed. The glass shattering triggered the house alarm, its high pitched screech filling the air. Reaching for the bedside table, he hit the Stay button on the portable alarm control attached to his key ring. The alarm had camouflaged the attacker’s movements. The cordless phone, now off the hook, made a steady beep from the carpet. Gideon listened for signs of a second attack, separating the sounds of a predator from nature.

The neighbor’s chocolate Labrador bellowed several hoarse barks from over the back fence. Snatch, the neighborhood’s Russian blue tom cat released a cacophony of meows in response. What he didn’t hear were footsteps. Who were they dealing with? The man was experienced at this cat and mouse game. And he was sure the culprit was male. From his position on the bed, the framed large brick projected at close range spoke to strength.

“Shh, baby. Listen carefully. I’m going to slowly ease my weight off you and move down the bed. I want you to roll onto the floor and stay close to the bed frame.”

“What about you?” She whispered.

“Stay low, I will give you the okay to move.” Gideon pressed his hands into the mattress, before pressing upward and rolling onto his left elbow.
