CHAPTER NINE

Everything became a kaleidoscope of new surroundings and faces once they arrived at the Kingston estate, too much so for Brianna to be able to take it all in as she stood beside Felix in the huge entrance hall of the main house.

She was pretty sure delayed shock had begun to set in as she’d sat beside Felix in silence while Nikolai drove the SUV onto the estate through huge open iron gates.

The Russian had handed Brianna a business card, waited for her and Felix to get out of the vehicle, and then driven off again. No doubt he was now well on his way back to London to report on the situation to his pakhan.

A glance at the card showed her it only had Nikolai’s name on it and a mobile telephone number. She’d ignored Felix’s scowl as she slipped the card into the back pocket of her jeans. She might need to ask for Nikolai’s help again before this was all over.

She now clung to Felix’s hand for reassurance as she was introduced to two of the Kingston brothers, the tall and distinguished Sinclair, and the long-haired and mischievous-looking Casper. These were the two brothers who had taken part in her rescue, although their black tactical gear and slightly disheveled appearance didn’t look anything like the bloody mess that covered Felix.

She did manage a small smile when she was introduced to Sinclair’s wife, the glowingly lovely Remy, that glow no doubt due to her obvious baby bump.

Brianna became lost in her own thoughts as the four members of the Kingston family talked softly together. She only forced herself to rejoin the conversation when she heard them discussing Felix escorting her upstairs to one of the guest bedrooms.

“I want to stay with Felix,” she told them abruptly, unable to even bear the thought of being on her own right now.

She had just spent three days and nights with nothing for company but the tortuous thoughts of what her future held. She didn’t want to be alone with only those for company again now.

“I think that’s probably for the best,” Felix told his family after a brief glance at the stubborn determination on her face.

“Of course,” Remy agreed softly. “I’ll have more towels brought up so you can both take a shower.”

Which, Brianna realized slightly hysterically, was probably Remy Kingston’s polite way of saying they both needed to take off their bloody clothing and then wash the blood off themselves. Brianna had to admit, the other woman sounded very calm about it if that was the case.

“I think the clothing is unsalvageable.” Remy’s next comment confirmed that was exactly what she’d meant. “If you’d like to throw it all out into the hallway, I’ll arrange to have them taken away and burned. I’ll find you some things to wear from my wardrobe.” She glanced down at herself. “They obviously aren’t going to fit me for a while,” she added dryly.

Brianna was sure they were all aware that by destroying
