Maeve groaned. “Really, really sorry.”
“Stop saying you’re sorry, Maeve,” Alejandro told her firmly. “You would not call unless it was important, we know that.” His gaze moved to Gray. “Who are you?”
“This is Gray. He, uh, Cat, you remember me telling you about meeting a guy at a nightclub? This is him.”
Cat squealed and clapped her hands. “Oh, good! Wait, he’s there in Nashville with you? How? Why didn’t you mention him before?”
“Yes, why?” Alejandro added smoothly.
“Because back then I didn’t realize the depth of my feelings for him or his feelings for me.”
“Does he know about your stalker?” Cat asked.
“Yes.”
“And why did he not protect you?” Alejandro demanded, eyeing Gray suspiciously.
“If I had known about her stalker, he would never have gotten near her,” Gray told the other man. They stared at each other while Cat groaned.
“You kept that information from him? Maeve, you’re just asking for a spanking.”
“Yes, she is,” Gray agreed. “But it’s partially my fault. I didn’t realize until she was gone that I loved her. That’s why I tracked her down.”
“How did you find her?” Alejandro asked. “Maeve called you?”
“No, I had someone find her for me.”
“I did ask Isaiah to find Gray’s number,” Maeve added.
“You had someone find her?” Alejandro asked in a low voice. “Who? And just who are you?”
“Gray Hawkins. I work for Drew Markovich, who is a businessman in Billings, Montana.”
Alejandro frowned and looked to be thinking. “Yes. I know of Drew Markovich.”
“You do?” Maeve asked. “How? You’ve met him?”
“No, but he’s connected to some acquaintances,” Alejandro said mysteriously. “You know the Iron Shadows?”
Gray straightened. “Yes, the President of the Iron Shadows is engaged to Markovich’s daughter. Do you know Reyes?”
“No, but I have spoken often to one of the members, Razor. His fiancée is friends with Cat.”
“I’ll explain how I met Tabby later,” Cat told Maeve, who was giving her a curious look.
“Markovich, huh?” Alejandro had a calculating look on his face. “You work for him? Gray Hawkins.”
“Yes.”
“Are the two of you staying in Nashville?” Alejandro asked suddenly.
“Uh, no,” Maeve said, surprised by the change of topic. “We’re going back to where Gray lives.”
“Where is that?” Cat asked.
“I live on Markovich’s estate which is about fifty minutes out of Billings. His property has good security. I don’t want Maeve at risk.”
“She’s at risk where she is?” Alejandro asked.
