Chapter Five

Marco woke hard and aching. For none other than the woman who’s house he currently slept in. Niya. It wasn’t fair to know only the wall separated them. How come she slept so well? He expected to hear her up and pacing, as he’d done through the night. But nothing from her.

A whimper had him sitting up and staring at the crib, which had been put into his room. Rising from bed, he padded barefoot to find Eliana lying there, staring up at him with large eyes. Her lower lip trembled and he reached out and lifted her into his arms. She snuggled against him, smelling like innocence and baby powder.

Tears pricked his eyes as he carried her over to the changing table. After she was dry and redressed in her warm clothing, he gathered her close. Her trust in him was overwhelming. This was the first child he’d held and it broke the last bit around his heart which told him he had to continue with putting work first. He could do this. He would do this.

“Let’s get you something to eat, Angel,” he cooed to her as they went to the door.

He went through the living room instead of the dining, so he could peer at Niya’s door. It was shut. The fire burned powerfully and sent it’s warmth through the room. He saw Brooke sitting at the breakfast table, eating a bowl of cereal.

“Morning,” he said.

She looked at him, raked her gaze up and down his chest and nodded. “Morning.”

“Where’s Niya?”

She jerked her finger over a shoulder. “Office, she’s working.”

“Who does she write as?” he asked, sitting down. Eliana worked her pacifier and seemed content.

“Romance she’s Angela Grey and for mystery she writes as N. B. Posey.”

He frowned for a moment. “Wait, N. B. Posey? The one who writes The Guardian series?”

Brooke looked smug. “That’s the one.”

Mulling over her words, he tried to figure out why Niya would be living here if she was that successful. When Eliana whimpered again, he rocked her a bit before Brooke gestured with her spoon.

“Need some help with the bottle?”

“If you don’t mind.”

“You’re their guardian. As much as it kills me I don’t want her to suffer because you’re not sure how to feed her.” She backed away from the table and made her way to the kitchen. “I’ll hold her while you fix it.”

Marco handed Eliana over and followed her instructions on preparing a bottle. He was back at the table, feeding his niece and talking to Brooke when Niya finally made an appearance from her office.

Her gaze moved over all of them before she gave a nod. “Morning.” She focused on Brooke. “I’m going to crash for two, wake me if something comes up.”

“Got it.”

Marco watched Niya trudge across the living rooms carpet and vanish into her bedroom. “She looks exhausted.”

“She’s been up all night writing. J.T. will be up soon, but he can fix for himself. My guess is the weather will clear in a few days and then you’ll be able to leave.
