“Nadia, look at me, sweetheart.”
The steam rose around us as the water danced on my back. She stared through me as she washed my chest.
“Yeah.”
I grabbed her beautiful brown face forcing her worried eyes on mine. “Talk to me.”
“Why?”
“Nadia, I understand what happened yesterday evening. I am not having second thoughts about us. You have every right to be worried. I freaked out. Part of the reason why I didn’t want a woman in my life was because I didn’t want to be cared for or loved. Or endure someone possibly breaking my heart. I didn’t want to be faced with that outcome. Just my luck, I never had to worry about being discarded, because I was away too long. Now, I have to worry about your heart breaking if I die.”
“God, Aiden, I-I’m trying to be strong. I don’t want to go a day without seeing you.”
“Shit, baby, the feeling is mutual. Nadia, we have to make this work. We will find our own way to make every day special like it's our last. What do you say?”
She smiled so fucking bright. My heart ached with a horrible feeling I never felt before, need. I needed to see her face every day. I needed to make her happy. I needed to show her she was the only woman who could ever have my heart.
I grabbed my cell out of my pocket, strolled out of the front door, then dialed Valen.
Hey, brother.
Valen, how are you?
I’m doing.
I have a problem.
What’s up?
Remember Lt. Commander Thompson?
He chuckled. How could I forget that asshole?
Yeah, well, it appears he’s turned into a private hit man. Whoever he’s working for hired him to handle my neighbor.
I need your help. Can you bring in Sebastian to consult with the situation?
Sure.
Meet me at my cabin in Bonners Ferry.
Ok.
Valen, we need to flush them out. This will be a dangerous mission.
Brother, you know I live for danger.
I chuckled. Don’t I. See you at O800.
Valen disconnected the call.
I exhaled walking toward the cabin. Time to bring Nadia up to speed.
“Nadia.”
She rubbed her eyes as the door slammed. “I dosed off.”
I sat beside her. “Come here.”
