CHAPTER FOUR

“They won’t stop, you know,” Kiel warned as he and Tierney lounged in his bunk, naked to the air and goose pimpled from the coolness of it. “I told them their secrets would be released if I died. But I guess they think maybe they can figure out my security system and keep the emails from being sent.”

“Can they?”

“It’s possible … anything is possible. But it’s highly unlikely.”

She rubbed the soft hair on his chest, played with his hard nipple. “They think they’ve won because everything is so under the radar. If you could be out in the open, watched constantly … like I was on my TV show … well, they couldn’t hurt you, could they?”

“What are you getting at?”

“I think I’m going home, Kiel. I’ll step out and show everyone I’m still alive! Then I’ll restart my reality show … with my new fiancé, Kiel Fortune!”

He sat up on his elbow, examined her with wary eyes.

“I can’t let you do that, Tierney. Have you forgotten that somebody wants you dead?”

“No, but I’m going to be brave from now on. I want to be worthy of a man like you. And I want to find out who’s been trying so hard to kill me!”

“You don’t have to put on a brave act for me. I love you. I’ll admit that. I felt it right off, though I tried to ignore it, and smother it, and kill it. Be who you are, Tierney. That’s good enough for any man. Or it should be. And what’s this about your ‘new fiancé’? I don’t recall asking …”

“I know. I always assume these things. But if somebody has to actually do the deed …” she got down on one knee, “will you marry me, Kiel?”

He laughed, raised her nude body up and sat her on his chest. “Only if you keep me satisfied. Think you can?”

“Honey, just watch me!” she giggled.

***

Once back at the marina in Pierpont Bay they made a hasty but affectionate goodbye to Travers.

“Call me if you need an extra gun, Kiel. I’m ready and able.”

“I know you are, man! Thanks for all you’ve done.”

He hugged him. Then Tierney did the same.

“Will you be safe here?”

“Sure. I’ve got a sweet little cabin in the Malibu hills, bought it in the Sixties before the prices went through the roof! I’ll hole up there until all this dies down. You take care of Kiel, now. Keep him on the straight and narrow …”

“I will.”

They went their separate ways; Tierney turned to watch Travers go.

“He’s the closest thing to a father I’ve ever had.”

“That’s rough. My old man was the affectionate type, made me feel like I was the center of his universe. My mom was the same way. When they died I thought something was wrong with the whole deal. I thought I should be dead if they were. Took me years to get over that feeling.”

“I don’t like my parents. I honestly never believed they ever loved me. People shouldn’t have kids if they’re not willing to nurture them.
