“How could I? I just told you I’ve never been.”
I pull out the loaf of bread and some deli meats and cheese. I grab some mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato.
“Here, let me help.” Savannah takes the tomato from me. “You know where anything is?”
“Nope. We’ll just have to search, but the kitchen should be fully stocked with everything we could need.”
She begins opening and closing cupboards and drawers until she finds a cutting board. “Voilà.” Next she searches and finds a knife, and then slices the tomato and pulls leaves off the head of lettuce.
I go through the cupboards until I find plates. Soon, we each have a sandwich ready. I grab two bottles of water out of the fridge.
“Is there any booze here?” she asks.
“I don’t think Hawk would’ve left bourbon out.”
“I could sure use a drink,” she says.
“I could too, Vannah, but it’s the middle of the night. Let’s eat our sandwiches, and then let’s try to get some sleep.”
“Yeah, you’re right.” She takes a plate and sits down at the small table in the kitchen. She opens her water and takes a drink.
I take a bite of my sandwich.
The meat is a peppery turkey breast. Pretty good, but certainly not gourmet fair. Hell of a lot better than the food in prison, for sure.
We finish our sandwiches quickly.
“You sure you should have eaten so quickly?” I ask.
“Yes, I’m fine. Trust me, that nausea and vomiting was because Miles was making me sick.” She rubs her stomach gently. “Literally sick.”
I caress her cheek. “God, Savannah. I’m so sorry about all of this.”
She looks up at me and her eyes light up. “Falcon, you came for me.”
I take my hand away from her and scowl. “But he had his hands on you.”
“He did, but his cock never got inside me. And that’s thanks to you.”
“I think that’s thanks to you and your throwing up.”
“Yeah, but he eventually would’ve found me. And he would’ve finished what he started.”
Just the thought of that makes my hands curl into fists.
She covers one of my fists with her hand. “Easy. It’s over. It didn’t happen.”
“And it never will,” I say, my jaw clenched.
I’m still not sure she believes me, but that’s okay. I know the truth.
Because if that degenerate ever comes near my woman again?
I will kill him with my bare hands.
