I cleaned my apartment, ordered a pizza, and then occupied myself by watching TV while lying on the couch. It was the first time I’d been alone since I got into trouble with Bones in the first place. Now I could do whatever I wanted, even go out and meet a guy. I still had the tracker in my ankle, but even if he was watching my whereabouts, there was nothing he could do about it.

When it started to get late, I went into my bedroom and got under the covers. I cranked up the heater a little higher than I usually did because it was too cold. Bones’s body had provided an extra ten degrees of warmth. He heated the sheets and kept me comfortable all night long.

It was the first time I went to bed in a sweater.

Now I wasn’t used to my own bed anymore—not without him.

Every time I closed my eyes and tried to drift off to sleep, I heard a noise. It was pop here or a crack somewhere else. My paranoid mind got the best of me, and I kept walking into the living room to explore the sound.

I peeked out my window and saw nothing there. I checked the windows and made sure the front door was locked. Knuckles had broken in to my apartment, and now I’d seen five men break in to Bones’s place despite all of his security measures.

I didn’t feel safe anymore.

I went back to bed, but then the apartment would make strange noises, so I would get up again and check over and over.

I was used to his deep breathing drowning out all other sounds, and I was used to staying at his place more often than staying at mine. And I was used to knowing he would handle anything that came our way. I didn’t have to care about the strange noises because I had a bulletproof man to protect me.

I’d seen him be shot twice—and both times, it didn’t affect him.

How was that possible?

I kept getting up and checking the apartment, afraid that someone was watching me now that Bones was gone.

But I never saw anything.

I was just being paranoid.

I went back to bed and saw the time on the clock on my nightstand.

It was two in the morning.

Damn, I wasn’t going to get any sleep tonight.

I grabbed my phone and held it on my stomach, tempted to call the man I’d asked to leave me alone. I would judge myself if I turned to him, would loathe myself if I asked him to protect me. He was my biggest enemy.

But once the next sound erupted, I called him.

It barely rang one time before he answered. “Baby.”

I listened to the silence over the phone, hoping to catch the sound of his breathing. But I couldn’t discern any noise. I imagined he was lying in bed. He obviously wasn’t asleep because he didn’t sound like he’d just woken up.

I loathed myself for making the call, but the second I heard his voice, I felt better.
