I nodded.
“Flynn’s been making Harper unhappy for awhile. Now, Harper’s not unhappy, he’s angry. When his boys got nabbed, something else he’s not pleased about, he assigned two more to come after Flynn.”
I nodded again.
“And Flynn is after you.”
I blinked then asked. “And?”
“They figure they’l get Flynn when he comes after you again. No matter Marcus’s warning, Harper isn’t cal in’
them off. You could get caught in the crossfire.”
“No,” I breathed.
“Don’t worry about it. You’re protected. Luke’s assigned to you. Vance is stil out there, trying to find Flynn. He’s good, Roxie, very good. Because of that, I’ve pul ed Mace.” I started to panic. “Lee, I need to go. I need to get out of here, I can’t ask you to –”
“You go I’l come after you personal y.”
My breath caught at his tone. There was no doubting he meant it
“But, this is a lot, you’re doing too much,” I argued.
“It’s a family thing.”
I stared at him. “I’m not family.”
He gave me a look.
Then his eyes, dark brown, warmed into melted chocolate. I watched him, mesmerized and he reached out and playful y tugged a lock of my hair. He got up, walked to Indy, wrapped an arm around her and kissed her upturned lips. He spoke softly to her for a second and then he was gone.
“Guess we’re done talking,” I said to Indy as she sat beside me.
She put her hand on my leg. “Welcome to the family,” she said in a teasing voice.
Jeez.
There was no shaking these guys, any of them.
“You okay after last night?” I asked.
“Yeah. You?”
“Yeah. I guess Lee isn’t mad at me for putting you in danger,” I said.
“You didn’t put me in danger and anyway, Lee likes you.
He told me that Vance told him you were a rock after he found you. Other women, they’ve had other…” she stopped.
“Let’s just say, you impressed them.”
I stared at her, floored.
“Want a coffee?” she asked.
“I want a drink,” I answered.
“Whisky?” she teased.
