Chapter Eleven

He ran straight for the flames. Harper was in there, and he had to get her out. He would get her out. She was going to be all right. She had to be. He’d get to her. “Harper!”

Someone tackled him. Launched right at him and sent Roman slamming into the pavement. He took his attacker down with him. They rolled, and he grabbed for the knife he’d put in his boot after getting off that plane—

“Roman. It’s me.”

He blinked. He was raising his knife…toward Harper’s throat?

Harper?

His Harper?

“Baby?” he gasped.

She yanked the knife out of his hand. “You can’t just run out in the open when people are gunning for you.”

The limo was burning behind her. Gawking men and women were spilling onto the street. Other cars had braked so the road was a sea of red lights. And flames. Lots of flames.

He ignored everything but her. “You’re…okay?”

She hauled him to his feet. “We’re getting the hell out of here.” She shoved him back toward the SUV.

He stumbled. Turned. Caught her hand. No, caught her. He pulled her into his arms, lifted her against his chest, and raced with her back to the waiting SUV. They ran right by a gaping Antony.

“The driver is okay,” Harper said as she curled one arm around Roman’s neck. “I got him out and left him near the light post. We should call an ambulance for him, though, just in case.”

Roman put her in the passenger side of the SUV. Paused to stare down at her. “You’re okay.”

“Yes. Fine. Maybe a few scratches.” She scrunched her adorable nose. “Maybe some singed hair, but I’m good. Now can you get in the car and drive—actually, no, scratch that. I’m driving.” She hopped over the console and settled in the driver’s seat. “Come on.”

He came his ass on and jumped into the passenger seat.

Antony ran toward them, waving his hands. “Wait! Wait for me!”

“Do we have to wait on him?” Harper asked.

Harper. Alive. Safe.

Roman leaned toward her. Curled his hand under her chin. Turned her head toward him and kissed her. Frantic. Hard. She’s alive.

The back door slammed as Antony hurried into the backseat. “Oh, yeah. Great job of keeping a distance. Way to listen to me.”

Roman raised his head. Then he glared back at Antony. “You almost got her killed!”

“Let’s talk about this after we’re away from this place,” Harper directed.

Roman’s focus shifted back to the road in front of them. Quite the crowd had gathered. And the limo was still burning.

“Don’t worry, I can get us out of here. Just make sure you’re buckled up, would you?” Harper’s voice was mild.

Roman’s hand lowered toward the seat belt even as Harper took off. She didn’t head down the crowded street. She whipped the SUV to the left, shot down the lane like a bat out of hell, then proceeded to drive like a winning race car driver through the streets. Left, right, she turned fast and kept her laser-like focus on the road ahead of her.
