Chapter Twenty

I was jolted out of sleep and sat up straight in bed. My eyes had to adjust to the darkness as I realized I was still in Julian’s bed. I looked over and saw Julian next to me, sleeping peacefully.

What had interrupted my sleep?

A moment later, I heard my phone chiming from the kitchen. I’d left my purse there earlier.

Carefully, I pulled the sheet back and set my feet on the wood floor, warmed by the heat of the fireplace. At the foot of the bed, I picked up Julian’s tee and slipped it on, smelling sandalwood and Julian on the soft cotton.

I peeked at the bed and was reassured that I hadn’t disturbed Julian. He still slept peacefully, his face completely relaxed.

I padded quietly down the hallway to the kitchen and snagged my purse from the middle of the island. I pulled my phone out and glided my finger across the screen, waking it up.

I had four missed calls from Six. Just as I was about to dial him back, another call from him came through. Fear fell into my stomach.

I walked to the sliding glass door to the deck before answering.

“Hi,” I breathed.

“Where are you?”

I didn’t like the sound of his voice. “I’m at Julian’s home.”

“Yeah, I know, I’m already in the town. What’s the address?”

I told it to him before I was fully awake. “Wait, why?”

“I’m coming to get you. We need to get the hell out of Colorado. Now.”

My throat constricted and I reached a hand up to massage the fear free. “Why? What is going on?”

“He knows, Andra. Hawthorne knows where you are. And he knows about Rosa.”

“What?!” My voice rose several octaves from a whisper. “What do you mean, he knows?”

“He figured out that you were in Colorado. I don’t know how. But it’s only a matter of time before he figures out about Julian. And then what, Julian’s sisters? You weren’t his last victim, you know. You need to leave Colorado until we can get a handle on this. Before he gets too close. He’s on his way to the ranch now.”

I wasn’t his last victim? Six knew about Julian’s sisters? We needed to leave, right away? My mind was filled with questions. “Are you fucking kidding? We can’t just leave! What about Rosa? What about the ranch? No. No, Six.”

“ANDRA!” His anger was loud through the phone. I had to pull it away from my head, wincing at the volume.

I glanced at the house while my mind raced. It was information overload. I tugged my hair on my head with my free hand, hoping to relieve some frustration. “Julian won’t let me just leave.”

“Then you can’t tell him you’re leaving. Just leave a note or something, but tell him not to seek you out.”

I choked on grief. I couldn’t leave Julian. My stomach pitched and I leaned over the railing of the deck to vomit. Tears streaked my face.

“I have people on their way to the ranch. They’ll stay there. I’ve already talked to Rosa.
