Chapter 9

Wyatt

I smile when I see her walk into my office and come right to me.

“That wasn’t a long enough bath,” I say as she sits down in my lap.

“Do you have my phone?” she asks, and when I look into her emerald eyes I see she’s got her mind made up.

“You want to talk to him, don’t you?” I ask, and she nods.

Shit. I’ve wanted to keep this pain from her, but I know it’s something that she needs to face. I open my desk drawer and take her phone out. It’s turned off, but I knew it was a matter of time before we needed to set things straight. I’m not worried that we’ll end up right back here and in our bubble of love, but I wish there was a way I could protect her from the hurt I know her family is going to inflict. They will never give her what she needs. They don’t deserve her.

“And you know I’m going with you, right?”

“I was hoping you’d say that,” she says, reaching out and touching my face.

“Princess, nothing could keep me away.”

I stand up with her in my arms and carry her to the front of the house. We grab our coats and then go out to the garage and she begs me to take the truck.

“We’re not going far. It should be okay to make the trip,” I say.

She climbs in the cab and I go in after her. “I’m nervous,” she says after a long silence.

“Don’t be. I’m going to be right here with you the whole time. There’s nothing he can say or do to separate us.” I wink at her. “Besides, I’ve got something on him that will keep him in line.”

“Care to tell me what that is?”

“Let’s wait and see if he’s willing to play ball first,” I say, and she nods.

When we get to her parents’ house, long-stored-away memories rattle as I park the truck and get out. I was never invited over to Savannah’s house, but I rode over here a few times with Aiden when he had to drop his sister off. It was hard on everyone when he lost her, but I know how hard that hit Savannah. There were so many nights I drove by here in this very truck and wished I could go in and give her a hug. But I knew her father looked down his nose at me and I heard the rumors about how controlling he was. It didn’t take long for me to see it for myself and then realize what I was going to have to do to make her mine.

I help her out of the truck and before her feet have hit the ground the front doors are thrown open. Her mother is in a silk robe with feathers around the sleeves and neck. It’s a bit like a soap opera as she stands there waiting on us to walk up the stairs to the front door.

“Mother,” Savannah says, and I squeeze her hand in mine.
