A cold, congested expression settled on my face as I glanced at Jayce's sleeping form. He was curled up in the seat next to me, his head resting on a pillow propped against the window.

He'd been there for the last few hours, since right after we'd boarded the commercial flight. I would have preferred that we use Jake's jet to fly home, but that just wasn't possible.

We needed to get out of Italy, and it would take too long for the airplane to get here from New York. Jake had planned to charter another jet, but I hadn't felt comfortable waiting for that either.

I wasn't thrilled taking a commercial flight, but at least we were flying first class. And Paolo had met us at the airport with our luggage, so that was something.

"Would you like something to drink, sir?"

I glanced over to find the flight attendant standing next to my seat. I sent her the best smile I could, which wasn't much. "Coffee if you have it."

"Of course, sir."

When she came back a few minutes later, I asked her when we'd land.

"It should only be a couple of more hours. We have clear weather all the way in so the landing should be quick as well."

"Thank you." After she walked away, I slowly sipped my coffee. It was black, but whatever. I was more interested in the caffeine than the sugar level. I wanted to stay awake.

I needed to stay awake. With Jayce sleeping, I was the only thing that stood between him and the outside world. I'd let him down before. I wasn't going to do it again.

I swallowed tightly as I turned to look at Jayce again. This nerdy little man amazed me. It had been less than two weeks and he totally had me wrapped around his little fingers. I couldn't imagine my life without him in it.

I didn't want to.

In such a short amount of time, Jayce had come to mean so much to me. I adored him, and while I had thought that would happen at some point, I hadn't expected it so quickly.

Jayce was tucked under a blanket, so I reached underneath it and grabbed his hand. I wanted that connection to him, especially after he smiled in his sleep and squeezed my hand.

My determination to protect Jayce from the world renewed itself. This stunning man with the beautiful dimples deserved to be his nerdy little self without the threat of his family or Borelli hanging over him.

Considering how early in the morning it was, the rest of the flight was in silence and dim light. The lights only went brighter when the pilot announced we were coming in for a landing.

I leaned over and pressed a kiss to Jayce's temple. "Time to wake up, love."

"Hmm?" Jayce smiled as he turned toward me, and his eyes fluttered open. "Hey."

"Hey," I whispered back. I brushed the hair back from his face. "It's time to wake up. We're getting ready to land."

Jayce's eyes rounded as he sat up and glanced around.
