The threatening voice behind Nick made the hairs on the back of his neck stand straight up. Guilt shoved hard at him. He realized the man had slipped inside and hidden when he and Lexie had been in the back office. That was part of the noise they heard. He should have checked, should have been more careful!

Bare-assed and buried inside Lexie, the only thing he cared about now was protecting her.

He pulled out of her, and at the same time he whirled around, shoving Lexie hard to knock her off the end of the table. “Under the table, Lexie!”

He heard the thump of her falling to the ground, along with the crash of the box of office supplies, but his attention was on the man holding the gun. He stood about five foot, eight inches, and was in his late twenties, with thinning brown hair and his face was red with anger. The vein in his temple throbbed. He glared at Nick with jealous hatred.

Nick didn’t recognize him, but it had to be Lexie’s stalker.

“Harry! What are you doing?”

Nick’s heart stopped when Lexie rose up beside him, clutching his t-shirt to her body as a shield. “Get down,” he snarled at her, while reaching to his thighs to yank up his boxers.

Livingston’s face got redder. “Whore. I told you to wait for me!” He waved the gun at Lexie.

A possessive rage exploded in Nick like nothing he’d ever felt. The sight of the gun moving toward Lexie made everything crystal clear.

He loved her and would kill to keep her safe.

He would die to let her live.

He sized up their chances. None of them were good. His gun was on the floor on the other side of Lexie. He tried distraction first. “Let Lexie go. You don’t want to hurt her. I forced her.” Delusional stalkers tended to build a story line in their heads—Nick tried to feed it.

The man bared his teeth. “I saw what that whore did to you. She liked it!” He turned his attention to her. “Bitch whore, I told you, you’ll die!”

Nick knew Livingston was going to shoot her. He couldn’t reach the man in time. Instead, he pivoted and threw himself on Lexie.

A gunshot exploded, the noise reverberating like a bomb.

As Nick hit the ground, he felt the searing pain dig into his left thigh, but his years of training helped him roll to keep Lexie from absorbing all his weight. As soon as he felt his back hit the floor, he tried to roll over again to get Lexie beneath him.

She shoved him off her.

His thigh screamed, a hot flash of sheer agony that ripped through every nerve in his body, then settled in the upper leg. Sweat slicked his body. “Christ.”

Too late, he realized Lexie was on her knees next to him. She yelled, “You shot him!” and brought her hand back in an overhand pitch and threw something.

A wet smack and distinctive crunch sounded. “Ow! You…” The words trailed off, followed by a thump.
