“I’ve never . . .” My breath shuddered as I tried to calm down. “I’ve never had a gun pointed at me before.”
His arms tightened around my back, holding me with foreign tenderness. “I’m sorry.”
“They saw me, didn’t they?” I sighed. “That’s humiliating.”
“Come on.” He didn’t let me go as he led me into his bedroom and grabbed a robe from inside the bathroom. He helped me put it on before guiding me to the bed. “Stay here. I need to go deal with them.”
With one more kiss on my forehead, he turned and walked out. I held my breath until the front door shut in the distance, then dropped back against the pillows with a heavy sigh.
Then immediately jumped.
Gunshots.
Three.
I leaped from the bed and ran to the window next to the front door.
Bodies. Three.
Holy. Shit.
I grabbed my purse from the counter and searched for my phone.
The texts were already coming in.
