PUFFING, HENRI slowed the treadmill and cooled down. The luxury of the holiday home offered benefits, such as the underground gym, pool, theatre room, and various other amusements. It certainly beat the previous accommodation for amenities, even if their protectors didn’t like it.

He turned the lights off as he left and with legs of jelly, climbed the stairs to the ground floor. He had just made it to the staircase leading to the second floor when Nate came from the kitchen.

“Been checking out the gym?”

“Yeah. You had a go at it?”

“Not yet, but I plan to tomorrow.” Nate looked at his watch. “You off to bed shortly?”

“Yeah. What is the time?”

“Eleven thirty.”

“Okay, well, I’ll see you in the morning.” Henri started up the stairs, leaving Nate to continue his rounds.

“Night.”

After he’d showered, Henri slid beneath the blankets. His muscles felt long, loose, and relaxed, but his mind jumped from one thing to another like a rabbit on crack. Mostly, it shot between Russell and Birch. The two men had become powerful presences in his mind, and it was like they were waging a war within him—Russell with his terror-inducing harassment, and Birch with his highly seductive serenity.

He hadn’t acted like he had, but then Jason could mask his reactions. SAS personnel probably underwent training to control responses as part of their skills acquisition. That’s what he’d needed when Russell had him. If his reactions hadn’t been so obvious, Russell wouldn’t have been so enamoured with him. It reminded him of when….

Shit!

Henri sat up on the edge of the bed and took several deep breaths. He hated the way every thought seemed to lead to Russell. He needed to derail his mind from this train wreck.

Rising, he paced for a while and tried various other amusements, but every path seemed to lead back to Russell. He needed alcohol to dull his senses and relax his mind enough to allow him to lead it away from the psychopath.

The strength of desire for alcohol caused him to recall his conversation with Birch. Perhaps now was the time to determine if he’d been serious when he’d offered his company in place of drinking.

Trying to minimize the noise, Henri laid a gentle knock on Birch’s door. He waited almost a minute before repeating it. The door
