Chapter Nineteen - FIVE

I’m peeking out from behind a palm frond to assess the situation on the pool deck. Rory is standing off to the side, biting her nails. Like she’s nervous our babies might fail.

Shit, if I was worried about that I’d be all set. None of this sneaking around would be necessary. But there’s no way our babies will fail this test. Gonna ace it for sure. Gonna get into any goddamned school they want, no doubt. Gonna wanna move away and never come back.

And for a moment, it’s not the idea of them getting hurt that bothers me. It’s the never coming back part… by choice.

What if they go out there and fall in love with it? Make all kinds of new friends and Jesus, soon they’ll be wanting boyfriends and then jobs, and then college, and marriage and…

Fuck that.

I can’t deal. They’re just babies. My little princesses. How in the world did Spencer Shrike ever let his girls grow up? I can’t imagine it. Not even a little bit.

I look at Rory and realize she is the spitting image of her mother when she was younger. Bombshells, both of them.

And then I glance at my two girls sitting under the palapa, pencils in hand, furiously writing… and understand what growing up really means.

They will be bombshells too. They will be beautiful, and alluring, and men will fall in love with them—the same way Spencer fell in love with Veronica and I fell in love with Rory.

But it’s different. I’m my father’s son. Which means I’m one of us. Who will they fall in love with who can protect them the way I can? Who?

There isn’t a single worthy man on this planet, let alone two of them. And then I wonder the same thing about Louise and Mathilda. Jesus Christ, what was I thinking bringing four princesses into this fucked-up world?

I need to stop this before it starts. I don’t know what kind of future I want for them other then to be safe. And for as long as they’ve been alive, this place—this island—it’s been our haven. Our sanctuary. Our refuge. An oasis in the middle of turbulent global politics, and secret shadow governments, and assassins who don’t have a name, but a number.

I need to convince Rory, that’s what I need to do. I’m almost sure Mysterious is gonna fuck up this job. He’s a mess about something. Probably afraid to get married and give up his exciting life as mastermind fixer.

I almost laugh at that. Because Oliver is not happy about that little match-up at all. If the Vance-Shrike wedding falls apart before tomorrow he’ll probably celebrate.

Point is, I can’t trust Paxton to get the job done. I need to go right to the woman in charge herself.

My wife.

An evil Five Aston plan creeps into my mind. Date day. My wife, who is still worriedly looking at our twins as they test as she bites her nails, just needs to be reminded that I know best.
