CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT

NALA POV

“What do you mean by that?”

The words came out harsher than I intended. A minute ago, we were tangled up in sheets, breathing each other’s air, but now the skin at the back of my neck prickled.

It was starting to feel unnerving, maybe because I knew I was looking directly at a side of Ivin that rarely saw the light of day. A version of him stripped of armor, admitting things that didn't fit into the neat, brutal muscled bodyguard he presents himself as.

    CHAPTER SEVENTYIVIN POVHer hand was still resting on the handle of that door.One wrong push of the numbers, one glance inside, and every single thing I spent years burying would blow up in my face before I even got a chance to fix it.I stood there in the shadow of the hallway, watching the stubborn tilt of her chin, and felt the anger spike straight through my temples. The anger was not at her, but at the fact that she couldn't just sit still.This island was supposed to be a clean slate. A quiet place for her to heal, put some meat back on her ribs, sleep without screaming from warehouse nightmares, and give me room to figure out how to talk to her like a normal man without sounding forced. I went through all this stress just for her. I stocked the kitchen for her and I actually wanted to really give her a few damn days where nobody was pointing a gun at her head and she didn't have to look at me like I was her warden.Instead, she was digging. Always fucking digging.My back p

    CHAPTER SIXTY NINE NALA POV I raised an eyebrow, letting him pull me along the stone path toward the house. “You cook?”“For you, Nalayna, I can do anything.”The casual confidence in his voice did dangerous things to my stomach. He kept his fingers laced tightly through mine as we walked back into the modern, open-concept kitchen. On the counter sat a skillet of creamy garlic pasta he had pulled together while I was showering.It wasn't Michelin-star dining, maybe a little heavy on the cream and slightly low on salt, but it was hot, rich, and made with hands that usually only held weapons. Eating it felt intimate in a way then afterward, he pulled me onto the wide leather couch facing the terrace, and his hands never really left me.First it was my shoulders, working out the residual stiffness from being tied up in that warehouse. Then his thumbs moved into the hollow of my throat, tracing the line of my jaw, before he shifted my legs into his lap. He began working on my calves,

A minute ago, we were tangled up in sheets, breathing each other’s air, but now the skin at the back of my neck prickled.It was starting to feel unnerving, maybe because I knew I was looking directly at a side of Ivin that rarely saw the light of day. A version of him stripped of armor, admitting things that didn't fit into the neat, brutal muscled bodyguard he presents himself as.He held my gaze for three seconds, his mismatched eyes completely unreadable, before the shutter snapped shut.“Nothing,” he said, his tone leveling out until it was smooth and impenetrable again. “I have a surprise waiting for you. Something you’ll like.”“Okay,” I dragged the word out slowly, not buying the retreat for a single second.He sat up, the muscles in his back bunching under his ink, and swung his legs over the side of the bed. “Freshen up and meet me outside.”“Alright.”Surprisingly, the fight

    CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN NALA POV The kiss was softer and more gentle than the question he left hanging between us, then he seeped his head, holding the back of my neck firm in his hand as his tongue explored the inside of my mouth and my hand fisted his shirt drawing him closer to me till I could feel every hard plain of his body against mine.Ivin’s mouth moved smoothly against mine like he’d been waiting years to do this exact thing, slow and careful, his hand moving to cradle the back of my head so I couldn’t pull away even if I wanted to. Not that I ever wanted to.The notebook was long forgotten as his skilled mouth teased my mouth, nipping and biting softly till I was moaning loudly against his mouth while his other hand fondled and roamed all over my body. This was a distraction from the questions I was asking and the answers he was supposed to give me about all the suspicious details about me in this house but I played along.I let him.My fingers slid up the front of his shi

    CHAPTER SIXTY SIXNALA POV“That’s mine.”His voice came from the doorway, but there was nothing flat about the way he crossed the room to get it, three long strides that ate up the distance faster than I expected.I didn’t hand it over.“Yeah, I gathered that much.” I held it up, angled so the spine caught the lamplight. “Wanna tell me why my school records name is on the front of it in handwriting that looks nothing like yours.”He stopped a foot away, close enough that I could see his jaw working, that muscle that only ever moved when he was choosing very carefully what to let out and what to keep locked down.“It’s old,” he said.“I figured that part out myself, actually. Genius detective work on my part, given the ink’s faded and the corners are soft.” I turned it over in my hands. “How old, Ivin.”“Give it here.”“No.”“Nala.”“I’m not giving you back a notebook with my name written on it, a handwriting that’s probably from before I was your ol’ lady, before I was collateral, be

    CHAPTER SIXTY FIVENALA POV“There’s no gate,” I said, standing on the dock and looking around like I expected one to materialize out of thin air.“No gate,” Ivin agreed, hauling both bags over one shoulder like they weighed nothing.“No cameras I can see.”“There are cameras. You just won’t see them.”“That’s not comforting.”“Wasn’t trying to comfort you. Was answering your question.”I followed him up a stone path that wound through trees heavy with something that smelled sweeter than anywhere I’d been in months, and I realized slowly that halfway up the incline, my shoulders had dropped unconsciously. I was far too relaxed for an unfamiliar territory, my eyes were not automatically scanning the treeline or counting exits. My body had simply decided, on its own, without consulting the part of me that didn’t trust anything anymore, that this place was safe.I didn’t like how easy that had been.“You’re doing it again,” Ivin said, not turning around.“What.”“Where you catch yoursel
