Hazel POV“Good morning”, I say as I move on the bed, rolling to face Elliot, that is lying in bed with his glasses resting on his nose. His naked body is beautiful in this light.“Morning, beautiful”, he says, looking at me and smiling. I stretch my arms, and when I am about to get out of bed, he pulls me into his arms, wrapping his strong and toned arms around my body. I smile against the pillow. His chest against my back and his erection pressing just at the right spot. “I need to have a shower. I have classes today”, I whisper, and he grunts against my neck. “We’re still on our honeymoon”, he complains, and I smile. I  roll and look into his eyes, and he looks very serious as he watches me.“Says the guy that went out last night without telli

Hazel POV“It’s going to be okay”, Elliot says, and even though I believe him, I can’t really see anything being okay, we are under attack, and Elliot is freaking half-naked because I decided to be stubborn with him. He pushes me behind a car and opens the door digging in for a gun. When he finds one, he stands, broad chest as he starts shooting whoever it is that decided to attack him. Us. Me? I don’t know how they even got in. The shooting stops, and I move the guy's hands from my head to look at Elliot. His face is bright red in anger, and his body is shaking. I look at him, and there’s not even a scratch on his body, and I finally take a deep breath.Casings from the shooting are all over the place, and then I can hear the police sirens. “Fuck”, Elliot curses, looking at me. He grabs my hand and pulls me to the elevator. “Get in, stay with the doorman, don&

Elliot POV“Where are you going? Why aren’t you coming with me?” Hazel asks, and I can hear the pain and frustration in her voice. I am sorry I need to do this, but if I wait, I could lose my chance of catching Pavlov with his hands dirty. I cradle Hazel’s face between my hands and look her in the eyes. Iknow she is going to hate me for this, but I have to do this. Killian would kill me fi he found out I had a lead on Pavlov and Alvarez, and I didn’t follow it because of Hazel. He doesn’t like him already, and I need to do this and try and keep the peace between him and her. “I have some things to do, and I need you to trust me. I need you to trust Edgar. I say he will keep you safe, I won’t be long, and I will meet you at the hospital”, I say. I can’t let the frustration I am feeling right now to take over

Hazel POV“I’m going”, I say to Elliot as he walks into the bedroom. “Come here”, he says, grabbing my wrist and pulling me towards him as he wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me. I smile against his lips.“I would love to stay and be fucked till Friday, but I need to go meet that asshole”, I say, and Elliot frowns, looking at me and pulling away from my lips.“Way to push me away”, he says, walking back to the bathroom. These meetings are the only time I don’t go out with security. Hell, I go with them, but they are hidden. I walk to the dressing room, grab my shoes and walk out of the room. Spring is a beautiful time in New York; the flowers are booming, and people are much more receptive and in good spirits. I decide to walk to the diner. Pavlov changes the meeting place every week

Hazel POV“Elliot?” I ask while Elliot grabs my hand and pulls me to the bedroom. He is behaving weirder than I thought he would. What is going on? I know it’s bad that Pavlov knows everything, but I also know he will keep me safe, and he won’t let Pavlov get to me. His phone keeps ringing, and he keeps ignoring it, and it’s freaking me out. I don’t know what is happening or why it’s happening, and I am not happy about this. “Pack a bag”, he says as I watch him walk. He looks frantic, and I have to say he is freaking me out, big time. “Elliot? Where are we going? What is going on? How did Pavlov find out?” I finally let out all the questions that keep running through my brain. I watch as he shakes his head, taking a deep breath. “I have no
