Chapter Eleven

Blake

Trust her.

It would be a hell of a lot easier to do if I didn’t know she’s hiding something.

I pace my apartment, squeezing a tension ball in one hand so that I don’t do something stupid like use the Find My Phone app I put on Kiley’s cell when she’d been sleeping. Yeah, I’m that kind of asshole. But my trust issues go deep. And so does this damn need to protect her.

I keep replaying our conversation in the elevator over and over, and the more I do, the more I know I shouldn’t have let her go. But her promise to finally tell me everything had given me pause.

Trust her.

I want to, but that sinking feeling in my gut keeps getting worse.

“Fuck,” I growl out, tossing the ball across the room, then pull out my cell, fingers hovering over the app.

Pax whimpers and looks up at me from his spot on the floor.

“What do I do, boy?” I ask, dragging my hands through my hair.

He stands up and nudges my hand with his nose so that I’ll pet him.

My cell rings and I answer it when I see Brynne’s name pop up on the screen.

“Have you talked to Kiley?” she asks right away, and there’s something in her tone that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.

“I saw her twenty minutes ago. Why?”

“It’s probably nothing...” She lets out a shaky breath.

“Tell me.”

She hesitates. “She left my place earlier, and she seemed really upset.”

“Did she say why?”

“I shouldn’t be talking about her like this, behind her back, but I’m worried.”

“What did she say, Brynne?”

“She mentioned some guy named Cruz. Do you know who that is?”

“Maybe.” I grind my back teeth, having a pretty good idea. “Did she say anything else?”

“Just... she was talking about mistakes. I think she might be in trouble. I would have called Kane, but I thought—”

“I’m glad you called me first. Just keep it between us for now. Okay?”

She doesn’t answer.

“Brynne. I’ll deal with it. I promise.”

“Okay.”

I hang up, and the moment I do, I don’t hesitate to pull up the app and search for Kiley’s phone. My chest constricts when it finally pinpoints her location. I don’t know the spot, but I know the area of town. I’ve volunteered at a soup kitchen near where she is.

That voice telling me to trust her is silenced now, replaced by the pounding of my heart in my ears. I know she’s going to be pissed when she finds out I tracked her phone. But I’m prepared for her anger.

I’m prepared to face anything as long as she’s safe.
