Chapter 20
After an hour spent ringing around my contacts in the families, I’d managed to get an agreement for a meeting. I hadn’t told them who else would be there, just pressed the urgency of it home. And any of them who were being dicks about it, well I’d just threatened them. Blackmail was sometimes the only thing these pricks listened to. You just had to know what buttons to press and when. We had all their dirty secrets thanks to our girl. It hadn’t taken much to persuade them after that.
Quinn had been on the phone to Viktor and afterwards, Geoff, but I didn’t ask for details. He seemed incredibly agitated and quite frankly, pissing him off any further would be a bad idea. Also bringing up Julian might cause him to go off the deep end. I was already pissed off about the whole situation. There was no doubt in my mind Julian was involved, but I didn’t want to alert him to the fact I knew. So I hadn’t gone charging down to the hospital to demand he tell me why he hadn’t kept to his word. I’d have to play nice for a little while longer.
I made a tray up for Ash in the kitchen as I knew she’d not eaten today and took it upstairs. Figuring Eric had taken Ash, I went to his bedroom first. I found both of them curled up in bed together. Walking in, I popped the tray down on the bedside table. Eric raised his head and gave me a grateful smile.
“She’s sleeping” he whispered.
I came around the bed and got in the other side, curling myself around Ash’s back. She didn’t stir as I stroked her blonde hair back from her face. She looked so fucking peaceful and angelic. A far cry from the mess she’d been earlier. My poor angel.
“Is she okay?” I whispered.
“I think so. She’s scared of losing us but determined to fix this.”
“That’s our girl.”
I leant down and kissed her cheek. When I raised my head, I noticed the dreamy look in his eyes as he watched her sleeping.
“What’s up with the gooey eyes shit?” I hissed.
The goofy smile on his face grew wider.
“She loves me.”
“She tell you that?”
He stroked her cheek so reverently.
“Yeah.”
“You look like you won the fucking lottery right now.”
He shrugged a little, continuing to stroke her cheek like she was the most precious thing in the world and he couldn’t believe she was his.
“Guess I did.”
His verdant eyes met mine and the depth of emotion in them made me blink.
“You’re not getting jealous again, are you? You know I love you just as much as her.”
I raised my eyebrows.
Me? Jealous?
Okay, so maybe I had been a little before, over the sex stuff, but I knew his heart belonged to the both of us. I didn’t like the feeling. It wasn’t like me. The guy who couldn’t get over the fact his girlfriend and boyfriend were together as well. If Ash could love four people and me, two, then Eric could love us both.
