“Then let them try. We face it together. Not as contract partners. Not as players in a game. But as us. Real, unshielded, unbreakable us.” His hands rested on her waist, holding her close. “I don’t deserve your bravery,” he murmured. “Not when all I’ve ever wanted to do is protect you.” “You don’t have to protect me alone,” Vanessa said softly. “I can protect you too.
