Chapter 12

Jude stared at El ina.

Pete was gay?

Suddenly his behavior of the whole morning seemed even more absurd. He’d been acting like an alpha wolf—which, of course, wasn’t out of the realm of possibility for him.

But even he had to admit it was over the top.

He stil felt that Pete was a threat. There was something about him that just agitated Jude, yet now that Pete was gone, he couldn’t figure out what or why.

He started to open his mouth to tel her…what? He wasn’t sure. But his need to find the right words, an excuse, was saved by the bel . Or rather by a jingle.

El ina’s phone.

El ina started as if the sound startled her too, but she was just as relieved as he was for an escape. Without a word to him, she hurried out of the room. He debated whether he should fol ow her, then decided against it. He needed to give her a little space at the moment, and he couldn’t blame her. He’d overstepped his bounds.

Especial y with that kiss. In al his years of taking jobs, he’d never kissed a client.

He’d claimed it was for her own good, to create a believable pretense, but he knew as wel as she did that it hadn’t been necessary.

He’d just wanted to kiss her. He’d wanted to stake a claim over her in front of her human friend.

Whether it made sense of not, he had sensed a threat from the human male. Right away something had rubbed him the wrong way about the smal er man.

Now that he was gone, Jude couldn’t say what it was, but something had made him act that way.

Was it…jealousy? Or was it something more?

He didn’t know. He didn’t understand himself this morning.

As he sat there contemplating his weird reaction to the man, El ina returned.

Her brow was creased, her eyes gray with worry.

“That was Maksim. He says that Jo is having a very difficult delivery. He would like me to come to the hospital.”

Jude rose, noticing that she already had her purse and her usual y bare feet were clad in black boots.

“Just give me a minute.” He stood, starting toward the guest bedroom.

“There’s no need for you to go,” she said. “I’l just take a cab.”

He glanced at her. She regarded him with grave eyes and a firm set to her mouth. She stil didn’t get that she was potential y in danger. She also didn’t get that he didn’t have any choice but to go with her.

She was his job.

You’d do wel to remember that too, buddy.

“I’l drive you there,” he said evenly, trying not to sound as authoritarian as he had most of the morning.

She looked as if she were planning to argue, then she nodded. Probably because she didn’t want to waste time debating with him.

He nodded too, then strode to his room. Once there, he pul ed out his Glock, laying it on the bed as he went to the duffel beside the bed and pul ed out a pair of jeans.
