“You look tired.”
Reuben shot Alejandro a quelling look. “We’re not doing this.”
“You’re running yourself ragged.”
Reuben groaned. Was this fucker for real? “You’ve gotten soft since meeting Cat.”
“You forget who you’re talking to,” Alejandro warned.
Alejandro’s two bodyguards, The Scot and Cairn, flanked them as they waited for the elevator.
“Listen, just concentrate on Cat. I don’t need to be fussed and worried over.”
“I do not fuss,” Alejandro told him. “And Cat is fine. I will always keep her safe.” There was a touch of irritation in Alejandro’s voice.
Reuben understood. But still . . .
“I’ve got an itch.”
“Uh, do you need to see a doctor?” Alejandro asked.
They stepped into the elevator.
“No, I’ve got a feeling . . . like something big is going to happen.” Reuben tapped his fingers against his thigh.
“You think something is coming?” Alejandro frowned at him.
“Yeah. I can feel it.” He’d had this feeling for weeks. The only problem was that he didn’t know whether what was coming was going to be good or bad.
“Whatever it is, I will keep Cat safe.”
“But will Cat do as she’s told?” Reuben asked.
“Catarina is a good girl. She does what I tell her.”
Reuben stepped out as the elevator doors opened.
Right into a web of falling spiders.
He sighed. Cat.
And as if that wasn’t enough, something cold and slimy landed on his head. He shuddered, resisting the urge to reach up and wipe his hair.
Instead, he turned to Alejandro.
Did the other man just hide a smile?
“Did you know?” he asked as he heard giggling in the distance.
“No. Of course not. I would never have allowed this. Kitten!” Alejandro yelled, walking inside.
Reuben noted how Alejandro, The Scot, and Cairn looked up and around cautiously. As though they expected more spiders. Or slime.
“Rafael!” Alejandro called out.
“I’ll get her,” Rafael grumbled, stalking past. “But I had nothing to do with this.”
