Strong foundations

She rode alone for several minutes, ears straining for the sound of hooves behind her. By the time they came, she’d almost given up hope that Finn would come after her. They rode in silence for a little while, until Javier’s villa came into view.

“Don’t you think if I could have left, I’d have done already?” Finn asked gruffly.

She’d even missed his gravelly voice, of all things. Hearing it now, when she’d thought he’d just keep riding in the direction she’d pointed…

“I don’t want you to feel trapped, Finn. You don’t owe me anything. I’m not keep—”

Finn’s laugh cut her off. “When I’m not close to you, all I can think about is you.” He straightened in his saddle, and, without looking at her, added, “I can reach over and touch you, but I miss you already.”

She turned incredulous eyes on him. “I’m right here, Finn.”

“But for how long? You’re living on borrowed time.”

Her heart clenched at his words, but it was the truth, wasn’t it? As much as she kept insisting Javier would never hurt her…he’d killed her almost as certainly as if he’d sliced her throat. But knowing that, having something that dreadful hanging over her…

If any day could be her last, then she’d better start living the hell out of life.

“I get it, Finn.” She reached across and brushed her fingertips against his leg. “You’re worried about me. But don’t be. Right now, I’m more useful to Javier alive.”

“And when that changes?”

“Then we’ll deal with it.” She glanced across at him. “I’ll deal with it.” She pushed back her shoulders, trying to force confidence into her spine. It was more difficult than it should have been. Javier intimidated the living shit out of her. And after what she’d witnessed at breakfast? She’d thought he loved his wife—in his own weird way—but it seemed Gabriella was as much a plaything for Javier as anyone else who crossed his path. And she’d heard that whispered threat. The promise he’d made to his wife if she ever disrespected him.

She wasn’t fond of Gabriella, but she would never wish Javier’s rage on anyone. Which was why Finn’s suggestion that they leave Lars behind had struck her so hard.

Or maybe she was still reeling from the fact that they’d both been so close all this time. Had that been why she’d imagined she could feel them.

“And the wedding? How do you plan to manage that?” Finn glared at her, and she blushed.

“I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen.”

Finn snorted, but didn’t respond.

She would figure it out. Maybe she could speak to Neo—he hadn’t exactly seemed thrilled about the marriage either. If they could persuade Javier together, then—

“Are arranged marriages even legal?” Finn asked, cutting off her thought.

“In Mexico?” Cora shook her head and swiped a hand over her brow. The sun was warming up the land, and she was starting to sweat. There hadn’t been time to grab a hat or any water. And Finn had just wanted to keep riding? They would never have made it.
