Chapter 71: GABRIEL

It's never a good thing to be in kill mode while stateside. It's never happened before. I've had moments of intense anger, and there were times when I wanted to shoot an idiot or two for being what they are, but always my control would take the upper hand and keep me from going over the line. Not today.That gut-deep fear I'd felt when I realized Calhoun had her in his sights will probably stay with me for another week or so. But that fear was nothing compared to the ice-cold rage that followed as I made my way to his place. He'd come too close; it was him who'd crossed the line, he who put himself in danger of me.I'd been willing to let the law handle it, no matter how much the others poopooed the idea. I saw it just Lyon not trusting anything to do with the government since he's always going on and on about some gripe or the other where they're concerned. Besides, Mancini's wife is a Fed, for crying out loud.So when they jokingly made reference to planting his body like a tree stum

Chapter 72: GABRIEL

I've never killed another human being in cold blood; that's not my style. I believe in the letter of the law, and due process, at least I always have until roughly a little less than an hour ago. I always found it weak in others to handle things in this way. The renegade, maverick, anarchist, any one of a million things I used to call them.Now I understand. You see, always before, my clients were just that, clients, a job, nothing more. Although I afforded everyone their human rights, it was never personal. Once the job was done, that was it. I never had any interest in their lives beyond that and never looked back.Now someone had gone after what's mine, had come too damn close to her, and I can't let him live. Not when I know what could've happened to her if he'd gotten his filthy hands on her. Just thinking about it, it's all I can do to let him live long enough to give me the information I needed to get out of him.The feeling was so natural it was almost surreal. That killing ins

Chapter 73: SILLA

My legs were shaking when I stood up to go to him, my eyes never leaving his. I was mesmerized, captivated, I think, as I went to him. There was something new in the way he looked at me this time, and a million thoughts went through my head though I couldn't tell you one of them.That all changed, though, when he studied me without speaking for what felt like hours. His eyes flicked over my head while his head didn't move. "Excuse us, Chantal." He reached for my hand and took me from the room. I only had a chance to look back at Chantal questioningly and maybe a silent plea for help before she disappeared from view."My pet...." Not that her presence could save me from whatever he was about to do, which from the looks of it, was nothing good for yours truly."Later!" I got the feeling that talking was not the best thing for me right now, so I kept my lips shut until we reached his room, well, our room now, and he closed the door. I felt like the child who'd been sent to the principal'

Chapter 74: GABRIEL

That was more anticlimactic than I'd expected it to be. All the way back here, I imagined myself yelling at her loud enough to put the fear of hell in her so that she'd think twice before ever putting herself in danger again. So how did I end up falling into the trap of her eyes once again? The more I fight against what Lyon and the others keep preaching, the more it seems like I'm in a losing battle with myself.Every man is different; at least, that's the argument I keep giving myself whenever they go on one of their spiels about their women and what I have to look forward to. I can't see myself being what they are or what they claim to have become after getting hitched. Why would I change so much because of one little female who barely reaches my shoulder and looks as if she's afraid of me half the damn time?But after this, I think I'm beginning to see some of what they've been claiming in the works, and I'm not sure how to feel about that. I don't need anything or anyone disruptin

Chapter 75: SILLA

I didn't see Gabriel again that night, not even at bedtime, which for some reason, made the whole situation feel worst. It had only been a few nights since I'd started sleeping next to him, but that night, I couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep without the warmth of his body next to mine. I've never been so miserable in my life; not even his scent on his pillow was enough to soothe me.I barely slept a wink because I kept getting up to see if he'd returned feeling empty each time I saw that he wasn't there. The longer that went on, the emptier I felt inside. I've known him only a short while, but already it felt as if I couldn't live without him, and the silence was killing me almost as much as the distance I felt growing between us as time went on. I wanted to go apologize to him wherever he was but was too afraid to face him lest he says something that would hurt my feelings.That feeling of emptiness gnawed away at my insides, and I felt more alone than I ever have before. It fe

Chapter 76: GABRIEL

"Stop fretting; I'm here; nothing's going to happen to her while you're gone.""Who says I'm fretting?" I rechecked my bag to make sure I had everything I needed and to avoid Wolf's all-knowing gaze. It's true that I was more apprehensive now about leaving her than I was when I first made the decision to go.Not only because of the rift between us in the last day and a half but because she'd come so close to danger not that long ago. I realized that as much as I trusted my guys and was coming to trust Lyon and his squad, I couldn't bring myself to trust anyone else to protect her the way I could.I hope I don't have to live with this fear for the rest of my life. Always worrying about her well-being, wanting to be next to her every second of the day to ensure that she stayed safe. Though the feeling wasn't as burdensome as one might expect, it was still annoying as hell and was going to take some getting used to.For the first time in my life, I cared more about someone else than mysel

Chapter 77: SILLA

"Gone? What do you mean he's gone?" I felt panic rise and try to choke me at Chantal's words and stopped dead in my tracks. I finally experienced what it means to feel the bottom fall out. For a few seconds, I felt as if I'd lost time and space, as if I was floating somewhere above myself and way off balance.The rush of tears blinded me as my limbs grew weak, and my knees gave out. I'd have fallen flat on my face had Chantal not taken my arm. My thoughts became jumbled as I lost my breath, everything seeming to happen at once. Gone, Gabriel was gone, and it was all my fault. I felt a deep sense of loss as my body started to tremble. "Don't freak; I think it has something to do with work. Here, sit down before you pass out." It took a minute for her words to register, but they weren't much help, not right away anyway, because he was still gone. I'd felt so good when I woke up not too long ago because I was sure Gabriel had come to bed last night. I could still feel his chest beneath

Chapter 78: GABRIEL

I listened to the phone ring and waited for it to be picked up on the other end. I'd called the house, but Mace informed me that she wasn't back as yet from her trip to the hospital. I should've made her wait until I got back to take her myself; that way, I could be sure of her safety. Look at that, now I don't even trust my own men to take her a few blocks away without me there to supervise."How is Silla?" I didn't even give Sebastian a chance to say hello."She's fine; we're on our way back to the house right now. How are things on your end?""We're done here finally; the kids are all in a safe place. I should be heading back that way soon once the plane is ready." I closed my bag after making sure I wasn't leaving anything behind, suddenly in a rush to get back now that my work here was done.I shouldn't have left the way I did; that thought has been plaguing me since I landed here. Thankfully I'd got some reprieve from my guilt once I'd thrown myself into the job, then my mind was

Chapter 79: GABRIEL

I can't believe I'm this nervous to walk into a place that's mine; what the hell! I walked in the door, not knowing what to expect. All the way here, I imagined her meeting me at the door, but I could never see beyond that. What would we say to each other? Will there still be tears in her eyes? How hurt was she?I'd promised myself to put an end to this farce as soon as I saw her; it had gone on long enough. I'm not sure what Lyon expected me to get from this, but so far, all I'd gained was misery, and I was sure she was feeling the same like someone had severed a limb. I was going to shower her with affection to make up for my crime, but she wasn't there waiting when I walked in. Lyon must've had radar because he popped up out of nowhere like a damn spook, took one look at me, and shook his head before disappearing again. I think he called me a simp just before he disappeared from view, but I'm not sure. I gave everyone a quick breakdown of what happened with a promise of more to co

Chapter 80: SILLA

What the heck just happened there? Where did I get the gumption not only to throw myself at him but to ask him if he was still mad at me? Now that I'd started off on that foot, I couldn't go back, so I kept my brave face on even though my tummy was trembling hard enough to move stuff around in there. I'd been sitting here pondering my reaction upon his return. Ever since Sebastian hung up the phone in the car and told me that Gabriel was on his way back, I'd been on pins and needles, wondering what to expect.I went through every scenario in my head, my body and mind going in separate directions on almost all of them. My mind said freeze him out the same way he'd done to me, but my body, well, my body has been speaking a foreign language since we met, one that I have yet to learn.One thing was for certain, I hadn't planned on throwing myself into his arms at the first sight of him, but when I turned and saw him standing there, something inside me just took over, and I lost control. I
