Chapter Seven

Arabella followed Felix into a small apartment. Her optimism about going out with Felix independently to stay on the offensive had been promptly squashed in the truck he had borrowed from Winter’s boyfriend. Their job now was to sit and wait, which was her least favorite part. This day had started out so promising and then morphed into a steaming pile of fly-covered shit. She couldn’t interrogate the guy Felix had picked off, because he was in official custody, she had no idea where the rest of the hit team was or how many there were, and now she had to sit on her thumbs and wait for Darek to make a mistake. They could be here forever.

Impatience nagged at the back of her neck as her mind spun with next-step possibilities. The weight of this entire mission, if that’s what she could even call the last irritating four months of her life, sat firmly on her shoulders. It didn’t help that Felix was in the mix and her feelings for him were all screwed up. She’d shown up in his bed with the intent of keeping her emotional distance, but then his embrace had brought back sexy memories, Felix style. And he was helping her despite her deceit. Now she found herself torn between leaving and never looking back, or fighting for him. Two very different choices that would lead to two very different lives. At least, that was the hope. She’d put herself out there for Felix before, and here she stood, in a safe house with him even though he wanted a divorce. Right now, Felix was a fifty/fifty gamble if she tried to win him back. She could see it in his ice blue eyes. He was ready to walk away.

“I’ll be right back.” Felix went out the front door, and she took the opportunity to take stock of the Wyn Security safe house. In one word: simple. The front door opened to the kitchen on the left and living room on the right, and a bedroom and bathroom were the only other two doors in front of her. One bedroom. Great.

She jumped a little at the sound of the front door when Felix returned. Exhaustion made her eyelids heavy. Months of light and sporadic sleeping was slowing her system. She collected herself and tried for a smile. He had their bags and a couple of grocery sacks.

“When did you go to the store?” she asked and wrapped her arms around her chest.

“Amelia went for me. I didn’t think there’d be anything here.”

“Amelia?” Her voice was high and insecure. Oh Lord, she was tired. On no planet did she want him to hear her jealousy.

“You were in with Winter when she stopped by.”

She stopped by to say hello? What the fuck, Felix? Arabella nodded and looked in the bags. If he wasn’t going to elaborate, she wasn’t going to ask. Maybe she’d been wrong in her quick assumption that he wasn’t involved with someone else.

She took a deep breath to put her emotions in check.
