Chapter Eight

Kat sat in the passenger seat of her car. It was before five a.m., and Sloane looked insanely hot in a pair of workout shorts and a tank as he drove her Hyundai Santa Fe. He had no right to look that good on maybe three hours sleep, four tops. “You could have slept in and had Ethan pick you up at the condo later.”

“Not if Dr. Dickhead is back in town. I’m taking you to work, making sure you get inside and lock the door.”

Kat tensed. David was supposed to be back this weekend. Would he try to talk to her again, or leave her alone?

“I’ve put Ethan and John’s phone numbers in your cell.”

“When did you do that?” Grabbing her cell from her purse, she thumbed through the numbers. Yep, there was his driver, Ethan, and his friend, John Monroe.

“When you were in the bathroom.” He slid her a look. “Does it make a difference?”

That he was invading her life like a steamroller? “It’s my phone. I don’t go through your phone.”

His tat flexed over his biceps. “Did I say I went through your phone, Kitten?”

That soft voice just sharpened her anxiety. She was tired, and she was pissy, particularly since she was thinking about him leaving in the morning. No training with him. No sleeping with him. No fighting with him. No having intense, mind-blowing orgasms with him. No watching him come apart for her. It bugged her, and that sucked. But starting a fight with him wasn’t going to accomplish anything. “Why are you putting your friends’ numbers in my phone?”

“You have any trouble with Dickhead while I’m in South America, you call Ethan or John.”

That right there? Steamrolling her life. “We’re not doing this.” She snapped her head around to face the windshield and squeezed her fingers around the warm, silver travel mug cradled between her thighs. “I’m not going to depend on you. David is my problem. I will handle him.”

His silence flooded the car.

Kat refused to back down.

Clenching his fingers around the steering wheel, he said, “You’d rather I put a team of bodyguards on you?”

Incredulity blasted through her. “Are you trying to scare me or threaten me?”

He shot her a glare. “I’m going to be out of the damned country. You will be out of my reach. And right now, I’m not liking that shit. Not one bit. You got a dickhead ex—who I suspect has fucked with the wrong people and you already got caught up in that once. It is not happening again. It is not.” His teeth snapped together, and every muscle and tendon swelled to hulking menace.

The air whooshed from her lungs. A faint buzzing rattled her hearing. Not a panic attack, but shock. That sense of being thrown clean off a cliff and not knowing what was beneath her. “I—uh…” What?

“On top of that I’ve got reporters on my ass, spilling more potential misery into your life. So, baby, you can do this the easy way
