CHAPTER EIGHT

Stepping off his grandfather’s private jet onto the snowy tarmac of Teterboro Airport outside New York City eight days later, Jager wondered if he’d made a deal with the devil to coax Delia out of Martinique.

Jager hadn’t wanted any of the McNeill red carpet treatment, and would have damned well preferred making his own travel arrangements, but wily old Malcolm had pulled strings to ensure the trip was exceptionally easy. With his connections, Malcolm had found a way to fast-track Delia as a trusted traveler, a designation Jager already had for himself. That streamlined their arrival process so efficiently that they didn’t even need to clear customs in the airport. The minute they got off the plane and went into the terminal, the limo driver was already visible with his white sign bearing the family name.

Jager hadn’t been able to refuse his grandfather’s help when it made things easier for Delia. No matter what her doctor said about her pregnancy being normal, he would continue to worry about her health and the health of their baby until they found out more about her mother’s medical history. So far, Dr. Ruiz hadn’t had any more luck unearthing facts about Celine’s first pregnancy than Jager had, but the Martinique physician anticipated speaking to one of Celine’s former doctors this week.

“What about our luggage?” Delia asked, shivering slightly as she peered back over her shoulder to stare up at the sleek Cessna, where the two crew members lingered.

Jager tugged her red plaid scarf up higher. He’d bought her warm clothes for the trip, including the long blue wool coat she wore belted tight. At seven weeks pregnant, she looked thinner to him, even in the coat. She insisted she hadn’t experienced any morning sickness, but he’d checked it out online to make sure that was normal.

“The driver will make sure they’re loaded in the car,” Jager assured her, grateful for the cold so he had an excuse to wrap an arm around her and pull her to his side.

The past few days had been busy with preparations to spend Christmas in New York, and he’d tried to give her room to breathe. But he missed her now even more than he had after they’d spent those six weeks apart when he’d been searching Europe for Damon. Seeing her every day, knowing she was carrying his child, only made him want her more. He hoped spending the holidays together would bring them closer.

“Do you always travel like this?” She ducked her head toward his chest, her silky blond hair brushing the lapel of his gray overcoat that hadn’t been out of his closet in two years.

“Definitely not.” He’d traveled around the world on his own dime—an experience he’d been fortunate to afford—but never with an army of personal staff members. “The added luxury is courtesy of my grandfather.”

Did Malcolm think he could bribe him to come into the family fold? Pay him off to accept his father back into his life?

Not happening.
