Kate

He doesn’t look too happy to hear from his father, Kate mused, noting how River’s jaw tensed and his brow furrowed.

“Thank you, Gunner. You can tell Dornan I’ll get back to him when I can,” he said to the man Kate had seen from her window earlier.

Gunner. So now she had a name to go with the face. It suited him.

Gunner nodded and disappeared back from wherever he came from. She hadn’t even heard him approach, but that was par for the course for shifters. No matter how bulky they looked, they still moved with the deadly grace of a predator.

Kate had gotten pretty good at sneaking around herself, but she didn’t fool herself into thinking she was as stealthy as shifters. Or that her hearing was as good as shifter hearing.

The realization really put a damper on her escape plans. How was she supposed to creep past a bunch of shifters on high alert? Who knew how many Gunners River had roaming around the compound?

On his part, River’s expression had turned thunderous after the mention of Dornan.

“You seem to have things to take care of…” she started, standing.

“No, it’s alright. My father can wait.”

Sinking back into her seat, she was annoyed at herself that she didn’t just walk away when she had the chance. She was done with her food, so why was she still here?

I’m just curious about why he’s obviously avoiding his father, she rationalized. It’s not like I’m into his company, that’s ridiculous. If he’s asking me personal questions, I should be allowed to return the favor.

“You don’t want to talk to him?” she guessed, feeling warmth flow in her veins as she took another sip of her wine.

Now it’s my turn to ask the questions.

Running a hand down the back of his neck he let out a small sigh, looking tired all of a sudden. Kate couldn’t quite shake the desire to go to him and put her hands on those tense, broad shoulders of his, though she stayed dutifully in her seat.

“He has always thought he knows what’s best for me. It got old a long time ago.”

“If the rumors are true, you built Crimson Claws from the ground up. I’d think he would be proud.”

Wouldn’t a mobster be proud that his son is also a mobster? Or is that not how things work?

“You know fathers. It’s always something or another they think you should be doing differently.”

Not about to let him turn the conversation back to her, Kate jumped in before he could ask about her own family.

“What about your brother? Does he feel the same way?”

River scoffed.

“Oh, he’s the golden boy when it comes to doing what dad wants. He cares too much about what father thinks, if you ask me.”

Now that she wasn’t under interrogation, Kate found herself fixed on River. He looked casual yet polished in his dark jeans and navy button-up. His dark hair was tousled, conjuring up memories of her hands running through it as he was inside
