CHAPTER NINE

Tristan packed some clothes and toiletries in a bag and then he and Jennifer drove a Can-Am Maverick to the village, Chad and Ray following them. They parked the vehicles next to the bakery, then climbed into the back of the Porsche Ray was driving and waited with him. Meanwhile, Chad snuck up the path to the prime minister’s villa. He was to sneak into the back door of the cottage using the security code for the alarms Jennifer had given him and check it thoroughly for sensors, recording devices, cameras, or unwanted visitors.

He returned about fifteen minutes later and informed them there were recording devices in every room, but luckily no cameras or ‘unfriendlies.’ He disabled the recording device in the upper east bedroom so they could pretend they were going to sleep but could actually talk freely in there. Everywhere else in the house they needed to monitor what they said or, even better, plant false seeds for William to chew on. Ray reassured them two guards would monitor outside constantly but would not be seen by William’s men.

“Do either of you have a Taser or stun gun I could borrow?” Jennifer asked.

Ray and Chad exchanged a look, then glanced back at her. “Why?” Ray asked.

“I just want to have something to protect myself when William does instruct us how to retrieve my parents from him.”

Both men looked at Tristan.

“I’m always carrying.” He said the words like a promise to his brother.

“But he might not be able to stay by my side,” Jennifer said.

Tristan’s entire body felt tight as every muscle seemed to engage, ready to defend her. “Let William try to pry me from your side.”

Jennifer’s eyes were warmer than they’d been since she supposedly saw him with the ‘gorgeous blonde.’ “Oh my, Big Bad Wolf, how lofty your determination is.”

“All the better to protect you with, my dear,” Tristan said.

Chad whistled. “I like it, friend.”

“I’ll bring you a stun gun,” Ray told her.

“Ray,” Tristan shot at his brother.

Ray shrugged. “We’ve seen what this snake is capable of. I don’t think we can have too many layers of protection.”

“Thank you.” Jennifer arched an eyebrow at Tristan.

He shrugged, conceding. Ray was right, and he wanted Jennifer safe more than he wanted to assuage his ego of being able to protect her.

Thanking them both, Tristan promised to call at even the hint of trouble. He escorted Jennifer out of the car. They strolled up to the cottage, flirting with each other as if she’d done as William instructed and gained his trust, but it felt fake. He and Jennifer were never fake. Would she let him talk to her and kiss her and work everything out between them?

They entered the cottage, and Tristan wondered if it was odd or unnerving for her to guard what she was saying. He was so used to it from the political spheres of his life that he could flip the switch easily.

But Jenn ... He certainly noticed her. The swish of her bronzed curls over her smooth shoulder.
