“W

hy did you run?”

His voice rumbled through her body. With him wrapped around her, his bicep pillowing her head while his other arm curled around her body ending with his hand splayed over her lower abdomen, she was too content to move. But he waited for an answer and he wouldn’t wait forever.

“I came to the Cayman’s—”

“That’s not what I asked.” He cut her off. “I would’ve brought you here if that’s what you wanted. I’ll take you anywhere in the world. You had no reason to run when telling me where you were going and why shouldn’t have been an issue, yet that’s precisely what you made it. I want to know why.” Anger simmered in his voice.

Could she admit to feeling bitchy and whiny and ignored. Add territorial over her loss of freedom and uncertain about herself. She needed to come here to settle her father’s accounts. She wanted to come here without his knowledge to punish him. Have him worry and wonder. Possibly miss her.

Instead, she muttered, “Sorry. I should’ve informed you I was flying out, but…” Yeah, she had a but. “You stuck two bodyguards on me without so much as a single word. As if I can’t tell when I’m being watched. I do not need two bodyguards. I don’t even need one.” She tried to shift and face him, but he wouldn’t let her turn. He kept her where he wanted, pressed against the length of his body. The hand cupping her bump was now between her thighs, cupping her intimately, possessively.

“Lynda and Alezandar Karpovilov took out a contract on us.” His breath was hot on her neck.

This time he didn’t stop her from turning in his arms. Blood chilled, she studied his face, hoping this was a lame attempt at a joke that wasn’t in the least funny. Deadpan brown eyes stared back at her. Alezandar Karpovilov was a big fish in a big pond. A threat coming from him couldn’t be ignored. This was deadly serious. “Us?”

He nodded once. “Me. Joshua is to be kidnapped.”

Her hand went to her bump as her mind scattered. Karpovilov had taken a hit out on Julius, which was bad, extremely bad. But what about her? What about their baby? “Do they know?” she whispered.

His hand covered hers. His brown eyes burning into her. His tone threatening. “Not certain, but it’s a matter of time. I will kill anyone to protect you and our child. Anyone.”

Other than Laverne, Calista didn’t have a lot of faith in people. Not the unshakeable faith where you knew that one person had your back, no matter what. Letting someone into your body, your heart, your life, was all a leap of faith. A leap she had partially taken with Julius. With a threat bearing down, a threat to themselves and their unborn child, it was time to stop quibbling.

She needed him. Damn it, she still loved him. But that wasn’t important. What was important was their baby, and that meant working together until the threat was over.
