"Why don't I believe you?"

"Dat be your problem."

"No," Wayde countered. "That is your problem." Danger, cool and completely controlled, fueled his tone. He squared his jaw and challenged Guy with nothing more than a look. "You touch her again and I'll kill you."

Guy narrowed his eyes at Wayde. Oh, dear God. Was he really stupid enough to challenge Wayde right back? The words weren't even directed toward her and they still scared the hell out of her. When James appeared and stood on Mia's other side, Guy nodded tersely and lowered his gaze until Wayde let him go.

"Now apologize to the lady," Wayde demanded.

"I don't see no lady," Guy snarled back at him. This man just didn't know when to back down. When he shot her another lethal glare, she shrank down and James pushed her behind him.

"You heard him," James added.

Guy looked at James, then back over at Wayde. Fury clearly seethed inside him, but he nodded and glared at Mia. "My apologies."

"I'll be making a phone call. You won't be breathing the same air as her, let alone touching her again," James told him, his voice low and even. She'd never heard him speak like that before. "Let's go." James kept himself between her and Guy. Wayde didn't turn his back to Guy until they were safely inside the elevator with the doors closed.

"Thank you. Both of you." Mia started to shake again, small aftershocks of adrenaline pulsing through her system. She was safe, for now. But what happened tomorrow night when she had to be backstage with Guy once again, no one to protect her but women who were either content and didn't want to create waves, or women who were too scared to challenge him? Did James really have enough pull to keep Guy away from her? What about when no one else was around?

Any way she looked at it, it didn't look good for Mia. On the other hand, now that she had sponsorship, would she ever need to be backstage again?

The thought of leaving the rest of the women to fend for themselves against that madman made up her mind. Their safety outweighed hers.

She had to rescue the ones who wanted out. She owed it to the courtesans before her who didn't stand up to him and were now lifers. She owed it to the courtesans who did stand up to him and suffered some sort of Under the Covers

torture as their punishment. And, Mia swallowed tightly, she owed it to those missing women—including her baby sister.

She just hoped she wouldn't soon be one of them.
