CHAPTER 5
A fine frosting of dew coated the windows of Bradyâs car. Head canted back, mouth open, he slept as if heâd fought a battle, which she supposed, he had.
She tapped on the milky glass, water pooling on her knuckles, and he startled, tossing one hand to the wheel. He turned his head and lowered his window.
âWhat time is it?â he mumbled.
She looked past him toward his dash. âFour. You didnât have to wait for me.â
One hand over his mouth, he covered a yawn. He then extended his hand to hers. âI was worried and didnât want you to think Iâd abandoned you.â
Emotion caught in her throat, she swallowed around it. âI wouldnât think that. Iâd think youâd gone home to rest, shower, and change. Only so many hours left before my dad will want to see your face.â
With that, a groan emerged. Brady ran his free hand across his face. âDiaz hates me.â
She squeezed his fingers. âYes, he does. Because you stand up to him.â
âBecause I defend Levin, but thatâs my job.â
âBrady ... Go home and forget Diaz. I want you to keep your job.â
He blew out a breath and nodded. He cranked the car. Their fingers still linked, however, he reeled her in. She ducked her head through the window.
âWill I see you?â he asked.
She pecked his cheek. âCall me, and weâll see. Too much of a good thing and we might get tired of each other.â
âNot going to happen,â he said.
She smiled. âFor a defense lawyer, youâre a real softie.â
âYour fault.â
She squeezed his fingers again and reversed. âGo home.â
Still, he didnât move. âIrina ... Levin knows about us, and probably Meteger ... be careful.â
She nodded. âI have a big gun.â
This brought a smile to his face. Retrieving his hand, he rolled up his window and backed out of the drive. She watched him go, returning his wave, then made her way inside.
Head slanted downward, she rubbed the back of her neck, her steps slowing at sight of the rumpled bed.
How had she gotten in this deep so quickly? One night was now two, and if he came to the door tomorrow, itâd be three. She was addicted, to the rush, to him ... which didnât make it right. In fact, saying no when everything in her wanted to say yes proved harder and harder to do.
Seating herself on the mattress, Irina curled her head in her hands, a prayer on her lips. âGod, I need this man ... I thought I was strong, but Iâm not. The baby, Levin, my dad ... Itâs all too much. Without Brady, Iâm sunk. Donât take him from me ...â Her eyes burning, she blinked back the sob that threatened to emerge.
In that instant, her stomach heaved, and eyes wide, she sprinted for the bathroom. Leaning over the toilet, hands shaking, the pressure of it all returned, and the tears came at last. She collapsed, sliding down the bathroom cabinet, her fears taking over the room.
