“Have you heard anything about my other girls?” she asked.
“Just that they are doing well and are heavily protected.”
“Good.”
“How about we go lie down? I’m anxious to be able to hold you in my arms and not have to worry about being caught.”
She nodded. “I’d like that.”
He led her into one of the bedrooms and shut the door.
“Where’s Mateo?”
“He’s coming. He had a last-minute thing to do.”
She let him take her shoes and jeans off but left her shirt on. He took off everything but his dress pants.
She lay on her side with her back pressed against his chest and one of his massive arms wrapped around her. It was the most wonderful feeling in the world.
“I’d ask for a kiss, but I think it would get out of control easily,” he said. “And I’d like Mateo with us the first time we make love.”
“I want that, too.”
“Good night, pet.”
“Night.”
An hour later, she felt another hot male body lay down beside her, and he maneuvered himself until she rested her head on his shoulder.
She giggled when Trent grunted his displeasure.
“Is everything okay?” she asked.
Mateo ran his hand up and down her arm that was draped over his stomach. “Yes, baby. Everything’s going well.”
“Why can’t I know how it’s happening?” she asked.
“Hey, we will never keep anything from you. It’s just right now, we don’t know a lot. The head of the Maclean family didn’t give too much information. I’m waiting for a call,” Mateo said. “I’ll tell you immediately after I’m done with it.”
“Okay, good.”
She felt his breathing deepen but couldn’t go back to sleep. Her worst fear was that Lorenzo would find them and kill them all, or they’d have to return to him. She knew she’d take the brunt of his anger. She always had, even if she wasn’t the cause, and she didn’t think she’d survive this one if she were brought back to him.
