Chapter 8

The nurse’s words were like a thunderclap in my ear, making me deaf to anything else she might have said. I held the phone to me, shock filtering through me for the first ten seconds because there was no way that Rose was dying. That wasn’t possible. The doctor had said she just needed rest.

I clapped a hand over my mouth to stifle the sob as the truth hit me and I slid to my knees. I blubbered through my fingers. “No, the doctor said I should leave her alone. That I should let her get some rest!”

“I’m sorry, again, that doctor Etterson does not work here. Whoever you spoke to was not a doctor. As soon as this storm subsides, I think you should come see her. Say your goodbyes.”

She hung up on me and I didn’t blame her, though I did wonder if she was related to the 9-1-1 operator I’d dealt with earlier. Then her words sank in. Say my goodbyes? No, that couldn’t be.

I clutched the phone and ran into the kitchen. Diego was the only one of the four men waiting for me. His dark eyes swept over me once. “What’s wrong, Dominique?”

I grabbed his arm. “Rose. She’s ...she’s dying. I have to get to her.”

“The others have gone to investigate something in our home, to see if there were any batches of the kortine removed around the time you were attacked. They left me to watch over you.”

“You have a binding on you too, right?”

“Which means we can’t do anything outside of the rules,” he said. “I cannot leave here without the others,” he said.

I swallowed hard. “And you can’t take me to the hospital. You can’t tell me anything until that binding is gone, right? I mean, if I can remove it, you could help me get to the hospital, through the storm?”

He didn’t so much as blink those big brown eyes.

I sucked my bottom lip into my mouth, my mind racing. “I have to get to Rose, but I want you to come with me which means I need to figure out how to take your binding off.”

His eyes widened. “That’s not possible.”

I drew a breath. “Wrong thing to say to me.” I slid my hands under his cloak, and then under his shirt. His body tensed as I felt up and down his torso, focusing on the feel that I recalled from the binding around Corbin’s neck.

“Pants off,” I said.

His eyes widened but he didn’t so much as crack a smile. The fear in me was too heavy, which left no room for teasing, not when Rose’s life was on the line. I had to get to her, and that meant breaking the binding on Diego.

He undid his belt and slid his pants to the floor baring his thickly muscles thighs. I ran my hands over his hips and on either side of those thighs until I was on my knees right in front of him. I ran my hands
