Chapter Fifteen

"Thanks for the warning, Olivia. I'll be ready." Hark slowly hung up the phone back on its base next to the kitchen door. His shoulders slumped a bit before he straightened. Sitting at the table, Zhenya looked up from the newspaper she'd been pouring over. In her bouncy seat next to the table, Sophia cooed and kicked her feet.

"Is everything okay?" She set down the pencil she'd been using to work on the crossword.

"Your man is coming." He turned, his face expressionless. Gone was the affectionate brother figure she'd grown accustomed to in the past month. In his place was the warrior she'd had dealt with the first day.

Alarm flowed through her and her heart began to pound. "Sebastene found out we're here?" Panic consumed her. She had to get out of here. She had to run. She couldn't let her daughter go to that man. "I…we need to leave."

"This isn't something you can run from, Zhenya." He moved to the table and squatted down next to her. "And it isn't Sebastene. Olivia just told me Gabriel found out you are staying with me. He’s on his way here now, and I'm sure the hell gonna miss you and Miss Sophie when you leave." He sighed, before rising up. He laid a hand upon her shoulder. "I enjoyed having a family underfoot for a change. I'd forgotten how nice it was. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a woman and child in my home." He moved to the window and gazed out onto the street. "Crap is going to hit the fan when your Gabriel gets here. I want you to remember the shit that comes spewing out of his mouth is not going to have a thing to do with you, okay? Let me deal with him. The issue is between him and me."

Confusion swamped her. "Why would he be coming here? He's not my Dom, Hark. He only delivered Sophie because he was on hand and I begged him not to leave me. Any obligation he had was finished after she drew her first breath. He shouldn't care one way or another."

A soft laugh escaped him. "You've never had to deal with a Poulanos before, have you?" He checked the lock on the window, probably just for something to do, then shoved his hands inside his pockets. "They broke the mold when it came to the men who carry the last name Poulanos when it comes to protectiveness. At times I swear Gabriel got a double dose of it. They take their responsibilities very seriously. "

She frowned, scooping up Sophie and joined him at the window. "Be that as it may, I'm not going with him, Hark. I’m not his responsibility. I'd rather be here with you. I had the option of staying with him when this first happened. I refused." Holding her daughter against her shoulder, she gazed outside.

"Too bossy for you?" Hark asked softly. “I know he’s a Dom through and through.”

She shook her head.
