Chapter 7

Becky wanted this—no, she didn’t—but really she did. “No.” She came to her senses pushing against him, but he didn’t budge. “Maverick, stop.”

He held her still, clipping her chin with his hand, lifting her face to his. “This needs to be as real as possible, Becky.”

It was too real for her; that was the damn problem. “I can’t do this.” She glared up at him. “I really can’t. I’ll take my chances.”

“You have no idea what you’re talking about because you have no clue who may be coming for you.” Maverick moved away. “Trust me, as soon as we know you are safe, I’m gone.”

Those words hit Becky like a brick to the chest, finally and clearly penetrating her dazed brain. He was gone, kept repeating in her mind. She wasn’t a stupid person. Obviously, he would know if she were in danger and yeah, she was afraid. So she would have to bite the bullet, let him do whatever he did to keep her safe, but guard herself. It wasn’t a matter of falling in love with him because she’d never stopped. Instead, it was a matter of losing herself again when he disappeared, and she knew that was exactly what was going to happen. He’d said as much.

“Are you done here?” His voice brought her out of her soul-searching moment.

She nodded as she walked away to the kitchen to check that everything was off and locked. Heading back to the front, she grabbed her bag and keys. Maverick opened the door, stepping out first. She noticed him searching the area before letting her out the door. She turned and locked it, then took off across the parking lot, but he grabbed her arm leading her to the passenger side of his car.

“But my apartment is just over there.” Becky pointed before being nudged into the seat. The door closed quickly behind her, and then he was sitting in the driver seat, revving the engine. He backed out, put it in Drive and drove across the street and parked. “Okay, well that was strange, but whatever.” When she went to get out of the car, he stopped her.

“Wait until I open the door,” he ordered, then slid out of the car, walked around the front and opened her door. She slowly pulled herself out and was surprised when he wrapped his arm around her and led her to her apartment. She lifted her key to unlock the door, but he took it from her, unlocked it and cautiously went inside.

She hated to admit it, but it was pretty fascinating watching him work, and she knew that was exactly what he was doing. He pulled her inside shutting the door, his eyes searching her apartment in one sweep. “Wait here.”

Becky did as he told her, her eyes wide and heart pumping. She didn’t know if her racing heart was because she was afraid someone was in her apartment or because Maverick Wilder was in her apartment. He walked around, checking her bathroom and then her bedroom.
