Chris continued to check in with David. At first it was to see if Prince Kalen had determined who was going to be his guest for the dinner event. The answer had always been the same. Kalen was still dragging his feet. It was beginning to piss Chris off, but at least he wasn’t sitting on his ass babysitting anymore.

Of course David’s line of questions made him believe he was still on the job. As far as Chris knew, the assignment was Prince Kalen and not Melissa. He was tempted to remind David of that but if he pushed it too far, David would find some lame excuse to bring his ass to the farm as well. So he’d let David believe what he wanted, that Chris was somehow keeping an eye on Melissa.

It wasn’t the first time, but usually it wasn’t Melissa he was actually watching. It was whoever was staying with Melissa for their so-called safety, first Deanna, then Hydria, and finally Ellie. Seemed like all the Turchetta men ended up needing their women protected at some point. Not shocking with the line of work they were in. And when Chris was assigned the protection detail, he was only one of the team members. This feels more like spying than protection. She’s not in any danger from Sirveo. He laughed to himself. Hell, I’m the most dangerous thing around here.

Several times Chris wanted to ask David what he thought would happen, but he knew David wasn’t going to share that information with him. So instead he fed David a daily report of how boring and quiet their time on the farm was.

Chris couldn’t recall a second he’d spent with Melissa that he’d refer to as boring. Even when she wasn’t speaking, there was something that held his attention. Even the way she smells is captivating. It wasn’t like any perfume he’d smelled before. She smelled like a spice from the kitchen, yet he couldn’t put his finger on which one. There were a few occasions he found himself standing inches away so her scent filled his nostrils.

The board he was carrying slid, and he cursed as it fell off the roof and landed with a thud on the ground below.

“Do you want me to get it?” Melissa asked.

It’s your fault I dropped it. “No. I don’t want you moving around anymore than you have to.” It was bad enough she insisted on being on the roof with him. That was dangerous work. He’d told her to stay on the ground, but his words went in one ear and out the other. If anything happened to her, he’d never forgive himself. As he made his way to the ladder, he shot her a warning look. “Not one inch, do you hear me?”

She nodded and rushed to retrieve the wood he had dropped. Once he was back on the roof, he was pleased to see she finally had listened. He quickly repaired the final hole and attached a fresh piece of sheet metal over it.
