Razor walked over and put his arms around her waist. “Just the way I like you, baby.”
“Stop,” she laughed but didn’t move away from him.
“We could take a shower.”
“And put my dirty clothes back on? Yuck.”
“Good thing I asked Saylor to bring you something to change into. Several somethings, as a matter of fact.”
Ava moved his arms from around her waist. “Tabon, what happened back there?”
“I had reason to believe we were being followed.”
Ava raised an eyebrow and put her hands on her hips.
“What?”
“Tell me the truth.”
“That is the truth.”
“Who was following us?”
“I’m not certain.”
“You know what…never mind.”
Before he realized what was happening, Ava went into the bedroom, closed the door, and locked it.
“Ava?” he said, trying to turn the knob.
“Go away, Razor.”
He had no idea what just happened, but that Ava had called him Razor meant whatever it was, was bad. Thank goodness Saylor was already on her way here.

She couldn’t believe Tabon had just lied to her again. When they were in the SUV and Onyx asked if Tabon knew they had company, his immediate response had been, “How in the hell did they find us?”
Yet he’d just told her he wasn’t certain who was following them. Making it worse, his face did that thing she’d only seen before when she knew he was lying.
It was one thing for him to say there were things he couldn’t tell her. That, she’d accept, but he’d lied outright, and that, she wouldn’t.
It was her life, after all, and her sister’s. His lies meant she couldn’t trust the man in charge of orchestrating both those lives in the way he saw fit.
“Avarie, please talk to me.”
Until he apologized and told her the truth, she had no intention of opening the door or talking to him.

Razor walked out of the cabin, stunned to see Saylor wasn’t alone. She hadn’t thought to ask him if it was okay for her to bring their mother and his two nieces with her?
“Where’s Ava?” Saylor asked, getting out of her Jeep.
“Uh…she’s calling me Razor again.”
Saylor burst out laughing. “Uh oh.”
