Chapter Six

Marcus paced the small room, checking the window every few seconds to see if Lena had returned.

His blood was still boiling from the note she’d left lying on the bed when he’d ducked in the bathroom for a quick shower.

It had been short and sweet:

Marc –

Gone for a run. Be back soon.

Lena

A run! A mother fucking run! If he wasn’t charged with her protection, he would bend her over his knee and give her a firm slap on the ass.

It was a thought that had surprised him, and one he quickly forced from his thoughts. Thinking of his attraction to her was the very last thing he needed to deal with. He needed to keep focused and his eye on the mission at hand.

His back was beginning to ache, forcing him to sit down for a minute before it got worse. He checked the small clock by the bed at least a dozen times in the past five minutes.

Lena had been gone for nearly thirty minutes. He knew running was a part of her daily routine, but being in a safe house didn’t allow for anyone to keep a routine.

He wanted her back here. He didn’t like the idea of her being out there without him to protect her.

The irony of that as he sat in the chair, suffering from a sore back was something he didn’t care to entertain. He knew he was no longer the man he once was. The bullet lodged in his back had seen to that. Still, that didn’t stop him from having the instincts of a warrior, willing to protect whoever he needed to in order to get the job done.

Too nervous to sit still, he got back up and began checking the window and alternating that with the unseen racetrack he’d created by pacing back and forth.

By the time he checked the clock again, forty-five minutes had passed since he’d last laid eyes on her.

Where in the ever-loving hell was she?

He would give her ten more minutes, but after that, he’d be forced to call Dan and head out in search of her.

It was against protocol to leave the safehouse unattended. He knew he should have called Dan the second he realized she was gone. His stubbornness had won out though and allowed her the time that she needed.

She had cried in his arms for so long he hadn’t realized how much time had passed. She had made herself vulnerable to him. And it was that same vulnerability that he wanted so desperately to respect and protect.

Which got him to the point he was in right then. In a safe house, nearly fifty minutes since his charge had vanished, and not a damn clue where she may be.
