She looked up at Zeke, knowing her love was shining in her eyes.
Zeke turned to Reyes. “I’d like to know how Bartolli’s men knew what vehicle I was driving.”
Reyes scowled. “They could have gotten that information a number of ways.”
“Duke knew,” Zeke stated.
Reyes curled his hands into fists. “What the fuck are you saying?”
She looked between them both, her eyes widening at the rage coming off both of them.
“I’d trust Duke with my life,” Reyes snarled. “Could’ve been the mole I suspect I have. Don’t worry, I’ll find them.”
“See that you do,” Zeke drawled.
“I came in to tell you her brothers are about to storm in here,” Reyes warned Zeke. “And to say goodbye.”
“I’d say it was good to see you, but. . .” Zeke shrugged.
“Zeke!” Eden scolded. “Reyes saved me.”
“He’s pissed about that. He wanted to be your hero,” Reyes told her.
“He already is,” she replied, staring up at Zeke with a small smile.
Zeke ran his thumb over the back of her hand until Reyes cleared his throat. “Wondered if I could talk to you sometime?”
Zeke turned to look at him. “Yeah. I could do that.”
Reyes nodded. “I’ll be in touch.” He sent Eden a wink before walking out.
“Do you think he really will be in touch?” she asked.
Zeke shook his head. “I don’t know. And it might be for the best that we keep our distance considering what he’s been messed up in.”
“He’s a good man,” she argued. “Just maybe not a man who is always on the right side of the law.”
Zeke grunted. “Yeah. Maybe.” From outside the room, they could hear a booming voice.
“Clint is coming.” Eden stared up at him. “You ready for this?”
He snorted. “I’m not scared of Clint. The only thing that could ever scare me is losing you.”
“That will never happen. I’m yours.”
“And I’m yours too, baby girl. Forever.”

Zeke strode into the gloomy warehouse towards the figure wrapped in shadows. “Thought you would have grown out of this mysterious bullshit.”
The figure stepped forward into the moonlight shining through the high windows
, most of which were broken. Jacob Reyes shrugged. “You’d rather I just turned up at your precious Sanctuary?”
“I’d rather you didn’t send gifts to my woman, along with notes summoning me to a meeting. Do you know how difficult it was to get her to stay at home?”
Reyes eyed him. “If she was mine, I’d simply lay down the law and she’d do as she was told. Or suffer the consequences.”
