Etienne stroked her hair, loving the soft silk against his fingers. She lay in his arms, all warm female, all strength and purpose. Cindy had courage and spirit. He knew males who would have fallen apart after being dismissed so coldly by their families.

And despite her mother’s cold insistence Cindy was trash, the proof of her innocence now stained the white sheets. He’d been her first, he thought with primitive male possessiveness.

“I wish I knew they dismissed me like that. It just hurts so much,” she whispered. “All my life, they’ve loved me, Etienne. Why do they hate me now?”

He felt her pain like a visceral ache. Etienne cupped her cheek, hating her father all over again.

“They don’t hate you, chere. They just pushed you away because of me, they wanted you gone because I’m a Cajun.”

“But Dad didn’t say that. He objected to you being a SEAL. And it makes no sense because you’re not a SEAL anymore.”

Etienne didn’t answer. His mind was coolly clicking like a clock, whirling over Parker’s words.

Parker wanted Cindy gone. He wanted Etienne to take her away.

“A SEAL who thinks he’s invincible, always coming to everyone’s rescue.”

And then he remembered the men who’d accompanied Parker. Odd that Cindy’s father would drag all those Draicon with him for a very personal matter. From what he’d seen of the man, he prided himself on professionalism.

“I was in the middle of a business meeting with their employer, George.”

“Did your father have any clients named George?”

She frowned. “No. The only George I know would be a friend of mine, Jorge Hernandez, but he’s away on a trip right now. He would have informed me about a business meeting with a new client. I scheduled all his appointments.”

“Jorge,” he said hoarsely. “Son of a bitch. Jorge. Not George, the English pronunciation. Jorge Diaz.” His voice trailed off as realization hit him like a wrecking ball.

Cindy sat upright. He’d always been so careful to watch his language around her. And then her eyes went huge.

She made a strangled sound. “Oh sweet mercy, Etienne, that’s why he said those things. He wanted me away from here. He’s in trouble!”

Etienne scrambled out of bed, reaching for his pants. He dressed in a hurry.

“They wanted me out of there to save me, it was an act, my parents were trying to protect me.”

“Calm down, Cyn. Calm down.” He grasped her wrist as she bolted out of bed, her lungs grasping for air in giant gulps. “Breathe. Just breathe.”

He guided her over to the bed, where she sat, her hands shaking, her jaw slack with shock.

“But it doesn’t make sense. If Jorge wanted to kidnap me to put pressure on my father, why would his men let me go? Because you were there and they wanted no witnesses?”

Etienne rubbed her hand, trying to calm her. Trying to corral his own whirling thoughts. “No. There was something else… an undertone. They wanted you gone. And your father, he wanted you safe. Jorge Diaz usually disposes of problems with a bullet to the brain, so there has to be something else.
