The drive from the airstrip in Naples to the safe house took exactly twenty-eight minutes. Landon knew because he counted every single second as he sat in the third row of the Escalade, watching Olivia in the front seat.

Mick Hedley had picked them up at the airport, and the Aussie was currently chatting with Olivia about the Amalfi Coast where Ryder’s private vacation villa was located. For her part, Olivia was making polite small talk as she looked out at the passing scenery—the mountains rising steadily out of the sea, the pastel-colored buildings, the lemon groves, and the winding coastal road—but Landon could tell she was rattled. She’d barely spoken two words to any of them since he’d mentioned the Red Brotherhood on the flight.

He should have waited to discuss the situation with Zane and Eve until after they got to the safe house and Olivia was well out of earshot. After everything she’d been through, he didn’t need to scare her into thinking she wasn’t going to be safe when she went home.

But would she be safe? He rested his elbow on the windowsill and rubbed his aching forehead. The woman did what she wanted, when she wanted, and even if Ryder assigned security to her in the interim, there was no telling if she’d play nice. He couldn’t be a hundred percent certain what she’d do, and that bothered him. But he couldn’t possibly keep her with him, not where he was headed, and he had a strong hunch she wouldn’t want to go even if he asked.

Zane turned in the middle row and hooked his arm over the back of his seat, looking Landon straight in the eye. “What’s going on between you and the sister?”

Shock sent a burst of heat straight down Landon’s spine. His gaze snapped to Eve, who was sitting beside Zane, leaning forward in the second row to talk to Hedley and Olivia at the front of the vehicle. If she heard what Zane had asked, she didn’t show it. “Nothing.”

“Something.”

Landon frowned and looked back at his buddy. “Stay out of it.”

“I will, but she won’t.” He nodded toward Eve. “So you better figure out what the hell you’re gonna say because that one’s gunning for you.”

A whisper of relief rushed through Landon. Not because Eve wanted to kick his ass, but because he knew after he left, someone would be looking out for Olivia. He wanted it to be him, but her domineering older sister wasn’t a bad second.

“We’re just friends,” Landon said. “I didn’t know she was heading to Spain to see me. It was a total surprise. But trust me, after everything that happened, I’m pretty sure the younger Wolfe wants to have nothing to do with me. So Eve can stop stressing. I’ll be out of her sister’s life in a few hours.”

Zane narrowed his eyes. “You sure that’s what you want?”

No, that wasn’t what Landon wanted at all. But it was the only thing he could do. “Wanting shit only gets you in trouble.
