Chapter 9

Ben paced inside Fiona’s apartment. He needed to track down Tommy again, and the only thing he could do was hope that moving Fiona’s stuff would lure him out. If he was honest with himself, Tommy had been an afterthought when he’d shown up there. All he wanted was to keep her safe, and to do that, he needed to make her comfortable, which meant getting her own things from her apartment. Her safety felt like the most important thing in the world to him, and he wasn’t sure how he was going to explain his actions to Hades. At least, not yet.

There was something about Fiona that drew him, had since the first moment he saw her, and it went beyond the fact that she was mouth-wateringly sexy. There was an edge of darkness to her, one that he presumed came from the torment that her ex had put her through. Or maybe it was the way her eyes belied every small emotion, like she was an open book and the story that lay within was captivating. Whatever it was, he wanted to be near it, near her. He wanted to save her from everything, even himself, if necessary.

Cin had texted him shortly after he’d arrived and advised him that all the furniture belonged to the apartment complex and all Fiona was interested in was her clothing, books, and bath products. The poor woman didn’t even care enough for him to pack her food up. Not that he knew where he was going to put any of this stuff.

He pulled her clothes out of drawers and the closet and shoved them into the well-worn bags he’d found, trying not to completely crumple anything, and yet also trying to be expeditious. Most women he knew had mountains of clothes, but not Fiona. She had a few drawers’ worth and some nicer stuff that she’d hung up.

The last drawer he opened contained all her intimates, and he felt like a bit of a perv handling them. It wasn’t like he was going through them or thinking about her wearing them. Or at least, he hadn’t been until he held up a bra that looked more like a shortened bustier with ruffles going along the edge. He quickly shoved it into the bag and tried to push the image of her wearing that out of his head. The last thing he needed was to go back to his place with a hard-on for the woman he was trying to help.

He had already taken a few bags down to his car, and was filling
