āYou mean I should leave without doing the job that I was hired to do? āBonnie felt a little uncertain with him glaring at her like that, but she said nothing.āI did get the impression you could handle yourself in almost any situation. Look at how well you took care of those drunkards? You didnāt even get bruised, and there were three of them.ā He said in a tone laced with sarcasm.āI know what you are trying to do, and itās not going to work. I did need your help, but I managed to lay one of them low.ā Bonnie said, absolutely proud of herself.āThat was after I showed upāShe could feel the blush starting at her hairline and traveling down to cover her entire face.āYes, wellā¦āHe seemed to give up. One minute he was rigid, his posture so imposing she had to use all her willpower not to cower. Then suddenly, he was idly rubbing his forehead. āLetās get out of here first.āBonnie hesitated. āWhere to?ā she asked.He gave her a puzzled look, āWell, you didnāt plan to spend the night

āPlease say something, Bonnieā she heard her mother plead. āAre you alright? Are you hurt?āāIām very fineā Bonnie replied. āI left mom. I wasnāt kidnapped.āThey were not listening. āThank Godā said Robert, āWe canāt wait for you to come homeāāThatās why Iām calling right now, dadā Bonnie began quickly, scared that they would talk her out of itā¦just like they talked her into almost everything her entire life. āI wanted to tell you myself that I wonāt be coming homeā¦at least not now. All my life Iāve done everything you have asked me to do, but now I think I want to make this one decision for myself. I will keep in touch as much as I can to let you know that Iām fine and safe, but I wonāt be coming home and I sure as hell wonāt not getting married to Marcus.āāBaby, we understand that, and no one is asking you to marry Marcus now. Just come home first. Thatās all we wantāToo bad it took running away from home to get them to listen to her, Bonnie thought sadly. This might have starte

Bonnie fumed and snapped at him. She was really worried and in no mood for his sarcasm.āYou know what I mean. What did my father say to youā¦ā¦āDavid laughed at her reaction, cutting her off. He shook his head, giving her a look that blatantly called her a fool. āI will tell you what I think. Donāt waste your time here, princess. Go back to your rich neighborhood, your fancy car and your fancier friends.āShe was so angry, she nearly cried. It had always been that way. She never shed a tear over pain or hurt feelings, but let her get really mad, and she bawled like an infant. His attitude toward her situation infuriated her. David stopped at a traffic light, and she jerked her door open, trying to step out. His long hard fingers immediately wrapped around her upper arm, preventing her from leaving.āWhat the hell do you think youāre doing?ā he yelled.āLet me go.ā She was proud of her feral tone. āDid you hear me? Get your hands off me.ā She struggled, pulling against his hold.āDammit

āI see.ā Bonnie said quietly. She wasnāt sure how she felt about him hanging around her and watching her, but at least this way she didnāt have to always be worried about her father finding her and forcing her to go home anymore. This way, she could get what she wanted. āMy apartment is close to here. You can drop me off and be on your wayā āI donāt think soā David replied. āI wonāt be doing a good job of watching you if i left you alone, would i?ā āWhat did you say?ā She asked. He didnāt reply, but let her figure out what he meant by herself. When she did, her mouth opened, but all that came out was, āOh God.ā Lifting one dark eyebrow, David felt triumphant. She was already realizing the implications of insisting not to go back to her parentsā¦He hid his chuckle and said, āCome again?ā Bonnie shook her head, then at the same time said, āNothingā¦ā She heaved a sigh, straightened her back, and then nodded. āOkay.

Crystal Lakes, as exclusive and ritzy as it was, sat only about twenty-five minutes from the lower east side. It was one of those areas where you could feel the gradual change as you left hell and entered heaven. The grass started looking greener, the business district slipped away, and eventually everything was clean and untainted. Bonnie pointed out her house, a small white one, with a front porch. It looked as if it had been standing there for more than a hundred years, and was surprisingly different from the newer, immense homes recently built in the area. There were lights in every window, providing a sense of warmth. All in all, the place was impressive, but not quite what heād expected. Somehow, heād envisioned her stationed in real money. Any truly successful businessperson could afford this house. David stared around the isolated grounds. āSo you decided to live here by yourself?ā She nodded, not quite looking at him, her hands clasped nervously in her lap. āAnd th

He braced his hands on the door frame, deliberately looming over her. "From this second on, I call the shots, with no arguments from you. If you really want to continue to stay here, you'll do as I tell you, whatever I tell you." He waited until she'd backed all the way into the kitchen, then he added, "You understand all that?" Bonnie's mouth opened twice, but nothing came out. She was too stunned to think rationally, too appalled to react with any real thought. David dropped his arms and stepped completely into the kitchen, watching her, and by reflex alone, she started sidling toward the hall door. She had made a terrible mistake. Her instincts had been off by a long shot. David's smile was pure wickedness. "Where ya' goin', Bon Bon?" "I, ah, I just thought of something..." she replied. Like a loud blast, his laugh erupted, filling the silence of the kitchen. She halted, a spark of suspicion beginning to form. "What is so funny?" "The look on your face. Did you think

He hesitated another moment, then stepped outside, pulling the door shut behind him. Bonnie watched through the window as his car drove away, wondering where he was going, or what he was going to do, but knowing she didn't have the right to ask. Perhaps he had a lady friend waiting for him. Of course he does, Bonnie, she told herself. A man like him probably has dozens of women. But they're not ladies. He wouldn't want a lady. And for some reason, that thought sent a small, forbidden thrill curling through her insides. ________________________ Anger and frustration were not a good combination. David didn't understand himself. Or more to the point, he didn't understand his reaction to Bonnie. He'd been a hairbreadth away from kissing her. Not a sweet little peck. No, he'd wanted his tongue in her mouth, his lips covering hers, feeling her urgency. He'd wanted, dammit, to devour her completely. And she would have loved it, he could tell that much from her racing pulse and he

Spread across Davidās coffee table, several papers were scattered, including his laptop, phone and gun. The faint smell of lemon lingered in the air, a scent that reminded him of the late Rick Sanchez house. Rick had been obsessed with Pine-Sol like it was a geriatric version of crack cocaine. Everything, including the hardwood floors, had been doused in the stuff. David had spent many of his afternoons after school using the hallway downstairs in the quiet home as a Slip N Slide. Rick had always kept everything neat and clean, to the point that it was borderline disturbing, which explained why David, as an adult, couldnāt stand things to be displaced or messy. Everything had to be in order and have a purpose. And what was resting on his coffee table definitely was not a part of the planāof any plan. David took a deep breath and let it out slowly. āWell, shit on a shitter.ā Rick rolled over in his grave. He had always hated cussing, and while David tried to remember and live by wh

"You're awfully quiet" David said to Bonnie when they got into the taxi that was supposed to take them to High Tide Harbour. She had been that way during the flight and David was starting to get worried. "I'm not" Bonnie protested, but even she knew that she didn't sound convincing enough. "Yes you are. You barely spoke to me on the flight except for when I asked you a question. And you slept during most of it. Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong? You can tell me and I'll make it right." Bonnie gave him a small smile. She felt guilty for making him think that he'd hurt her. He'd been perfect the entire time even after they said goodbye to her parents. The truth was that she had a lot on her mind. Her fears had been confirmed. She was pregnant! The weird thing was that she was thrilled about it. She was happy in fact. She was having a childā¦ David's child was growing inside of her and she knew she'd love the baby with all her heart, but she was worried too. Having a baby ch

"You shouldn't be the one to apologize." Robert replied, as he touched her chin gently so she would look at him. "I was selfish, and I guess I was a bit too focused on what I'd benefit from your marriage to Marcus. I'll admit that I was really angry at first when you left, but after a while I thought about it, especially after David Stewart confirmed that you were alright, then I realized that I pushed you away. For that I'm sorryā¦ ""Oh, dad""I see howā¦ different you are now" Robert continued. "You look more confident in yourself and you're so happyā¦ am I wrong?" Bonnie blushed as she shook her head. Was it really that obvious? But he was right. She was happier than she'd ever been in a long time. "No you're not" she replied finally. There was a pause, before Robert added. "And am I wrong to assume that David Stewart has something to do with that happiness?" Bonnie averted her eyes. She knew the topic of David would come up sometime. His presence alone was going to bring it up an

"Do we really need to do this?" Bonnie asked David as they got into the car. Finally, she was going to visit her parents for the first time since she ran out on her wedding, and no matter how much she tried to stay positive about it, there was this nagging pit in her stomach. She also had this horrible headache that just wouldn't go away. David sent her a heart warming look. "Yes, we do," he replied, then he tried to make her feel better by saying, "I'm sure they would love to see you. When your father hired me to find you, all I could see was a man who was really worried about his daughter and her safety. Whatever you might be thinking, nothing is going to go wrong. You called and told them that you were coming, right?"Bonnie sighed." Yes, I did." "And what did they say?""They said they'd be thrilled to see me" David raised an eyebrow. "So what's the problem? I'm sorry, but I fail to see it." Bonnie shook her head at him. "You seem to have forgotten, but I ran out on my weddi

Her pulse quickened even more and her lips parted as she struggled to breathe. She wanted that nowāto be in bed with him. āIām sorry,ā she murmured.āWhat? Itās not your fault,ā he said. āIt's not your fault that I couldn't stay focused on my job. Honestly, Iām glad I didnāt and I don't regret any moment I spent with you. It was all worth it.āBonnie smiled, then for some reason probably just to tease him, she used her hands on his knees to lever herself to her feet. Then she turned to walk away from him, but he stood and reached out. Catching her wrist, he whirled her around to face him. āOh, hell,ā he muttered before he lowered his mouth to hers.David kissed her hungrilyālike he had earlier. His lips nipped and nibbled at hers, tugging until she parted them. Then he slid his tongue inside where it tangled with hers. She gasped and panted for breath as passion overwhelmed her."Were you really going to walk away from me?" he asked as he withdrew, breathing deeply. "Nah, I just wa

Bonnie unlocked her house and stepped in, carrying a big bag of groceries. Before she could finish locking the door behind her, David appeared beside her. He flashed her a smile that was difficult not to return. āEverything okay?ā she asked him.He didnāt stop smiling. āYeah. Why do you ask?āāWell, you were almost at the door waiting for meāāThatās because I missed you,ā David replied.Bonnie simply blushed and looked away from him."Let me help you with that" he said, but Bonnie moved out of his reach and headed for the kitchen. He followed her. āYou donāt have to. Besides, your shoulder hasnāt healed fullyā"You know I'm not helpless, right?" he said behind her. "I'm just injured, and I have seen worse injuries." Bonnie dropped the bag and glared at him, "Iām sure you have. But like I said, your shoulder isn't completely healed yet," she said. "Don't put so much stress on it for now. I can handle the bag, and while you are here, you will do exactly what I say." "Yes, ma'am" Dav

George nodded his head. "Yeah, I already told the cops everything. They'll handle him." "Good" "He's alive too." "He is?" Both David and Bonnie stared in surprise. "Yeah. Apparently he's a tough old bastard, but he's going to spend a lot of time cooling off in prison." "I guess so" came David's reply. "I also checked on Michael," George added. "And?" "And he will be alright. The doctors say it might take a while, but the surgery was successful. If everything continues to go as planned, he will be alright" Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief at this information. Everything would be alright. Everyone was going to be okay. She watched as George tapped David on his leg and realized that they weren't just partners. They seemed very close and genuinely cared about one another. After he said goodbye to David, he turned to her. "It was really nice to meet you, Bonnie" George said, "although the circumstances and situation in which we met wereā¦ really wild, but I'm glad I met you. You h

Bonnie screamed as the shots went off, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw David and Jonathan crash to the floor. She thought he was dead. But heād been fine. Not totally fine. Fortunately for him, Jonathan had missed hitting anything fatal, but David's shoulder had been hit. Jonathan, on the other hand, lay dead on the ground. She flinched as she remembered the image of Michael lying helpless on the floor, unable to do anything for him, then she snapped out of the shock and ran towards David. She shook him and watched as he slowly opened his eyes "Oh God, David," she cried. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Are you going to be okay? Can you hear me?ā¦I'm so sorry, David" āItās just a scratch,ā David said to her and gave her a small smile to assure her and make her calm down. "Stop worrying. I'm fineā¦ and so are you" "Thanks to you." said Bonnie, unable to stop the tears from falling. You saved my life. If you hadnāt come in when you hadā¦ā She shuddered as she realized that could

While the other two men stayed outside and watched the building, David and George went into the house. It was empty. That was something David already knew, but he signed George to look around the other rooms while he went straight to the room he suspected Bonnie would be in. He got to the room but it was locked from inside. But he was now one hundred percent sure that Bonnie was in there because as soon as he tried the door, he heard her muffled voice. She clearly wasn't alone because someone made her stop. David's chest ached from the pain that had struck his heart when heād heard Bonnie cry out from within the apartment. He had to get insideāwithout that man hurting Bonnie any more. He hammered at the door again. āCāmon, I'm here. lemme in.āāNoāā Bonnie began but then cried out again.He stepped back, so he had room to kick in the door. When he tried once and the door didn't budge, he put his gun in the waistband of his jeans and moved backwards to try again. But before he could

Bonnie sat quietly in the room where she was kept. Her face felt hot and she knew she had a cut on her lower lip from where she had been hit when she was grabbed. She had cried her eyes out until she didn't have the energy to cry anymore, so she just sat on the floor with her knees raised up to her chest and tried to think. Her life had changed so much since she ran out on her weddingā¦. It hadn't even been up to four months but so much had happened that it felt like years had passed. Her thoughts drifted to David. She was in this situation right now because she had gotten involved with him, but funny enough she still didn't regret it and didn't regret running out on her wedding. How stupid was she? She couldn't help but wonder because only a crazy person would think the way she was thinking right now. She sighedā¦. A person crazy in love. She winced when she thought about Michael. How was he? Was he dead? Did someone find him? The question bothered her and the assumption that he ha
