“I hold no world records.” I stop a few feet from her bed.
Her eyes widen, and then she laughs. “Youwerelistening.”
“I was.”
She rolls her eyes. “Your obsession with me knows no bounds.”
I chuckle. “You have no idea.”
“To what do I owe this visit? Meetings done?” She stretches her arms out, reaching up and yawning before standing.
“All done.” I close the space between us, bending down to place a kiss on her lips. As soon as I pull away, she groans.
“Sorry, firefly, I have to leave.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to meet with Jaxson Price.”
“The billionaire?” She sounds confused, and it’s cute.
Fuck, Gideon. You sound like a pussy whipped fool.
“The one and only.”
She lifts a brow. “Do I even want to know?”
“He handles my security. I want to hire more men.”
“Will I ever be safe?”
“You’re always safe with me. But until we find the money, we won’t be able to get the Russians off your back, not without going to war—”
“I don’t—”
“I know you don’t. I’m going to follow up on a few leads. Now that we know who’s after you, it’s easier. And if worse comes to worst, I’ll just kill them all.”
“Gideon!”
“Just keeping it real. I think you don’t understand just how much you mean to me. I’d burn the world down to the ground to keep you safe.”
“I love you.” She lifts on her tiptoes.
“Love isn’t a strong enough word for how I feel.”
I pull away. “As much as I’d love to continue, I do have to go.”
She nods. “I’m free to go to the pool?”
“You are.”
“Thank you.”
“Be a good girl, and I’ll reward you later.”
Her cheeks flush red. “Promise?”
“Yep.” With that, I turn and leave.
