“I didn’t realize Avery was back in your life.” Slater shot me a questioning look, though I didn’t miss the slight tone in his voice. He’d been so pissed off at me for hurting Avery, and I don’t think he ever fully forgave me for it, given that the two of them had been close, and afterwards, it’d been too hard for her to stick around.

“I hadn’t planned it that way. But I turned the corner at GTC, and there she was—which meant I was screwed. She knew damn well I didn’t belong there, and if I was there, then I sure as shit wasn’t up to anything good.” I still couldn’t quite believe it. Yet it only made sense that a firm so dependent on keeping their information secure would only hire the best—and there were very few people better than Avery. “I’m just lucky she didn’t turn me in, or we’d all be fucked and I’d be facing some serious prison time.”

“Are you sleeping with her?” The tone was still there, and though I was willing to cut him some slack, given that his current injuries probably weren’t helping his mood any, he was starting to piss me off.

“I don’t see how that’s any of your business, Slater.” It didn’t matter that they were friends. This still didn’t concern him.

“Just don’t fucking hurt her again.” He let out a weary sigh, tossing me a glare, though it was filled more with frustration than anger. “You didn’t see her afterwards... She was such a wreck, Dane.”

“Don’t you think I know that?” I already felt like crap about it—and I’d had four years to contemplate just how much I’d hurt her. “You know how miserable I’ve been without her in my life. And I don’t need you on my case about something that’s in the past. Because I’m not going to hurt her again—and I’m not going to let her go.”

He nodded. “Good. ’Cause you’re not the only one who missed her.”

I wanted to be annoyed with him, but I couldn’t be. Not when he hadn’t said a word these last four years, despite losing his good friend because of my fuck-up. “Listen...this thing with Stubbs...I hate that you’ve become a target, and I don’t know if things are going to escalate. Don’t suppose you want to get out of town for a bit? Make yourself less of a target.”

“Can’t. You know that I’m working with Blackthorn Security now.” Our cousins had a security firm, and since Slater didn’t have much interest in our family’s whiskey distillery, working with our cousins was a good option, especially since it seemed to keep him out of mischief. “We’re in the middle of a few important jobs and I don’t want to bail on them.”

“I get it. Just be careful, okay? Stubbs is an asshole, and he’s used to doing whatever he wants without having to deal with any consequences.” I pulled into Slater’s driveway, and made sure to get him inside and settled, just in case he had anymore unexpected visitors.
