Washing quickly, he dried his aching body, then brushed the fuzzy residue of Patrón froroaned as he pulled on clothes, but at least he could find some aspirin and coffee now, in that order
As he stood in the kitchen, Raine’s kitchen, that farabbed hi the coffee to brew faster, he watched the drip-drip-drip of the little device Before today, he’d only made coffee for himself once in the last six years, when Raine had fallen ill with the flu He’d sat by her bed all night, watching her sleep fitfully, and helped her to the bathroom on cue To keep himself awake, he’d fixed a pot of coffee, then took the stea cup back to her room to watch over her soone
After downing plenty of pain reliever and pouring a hefty eon All the one, and the cavernous room see his way through the various stations, he wasn’t surprised when he again found hi bench on which he’d witnessed Raine’s punisho? Yeah, but it seees of Raine cuffed to the bench punched hiut Like the damned pervert he was, his cock jerked to life Even as he’d wanted to kill Lia her out froeous she’d looked bound and sub She’d looked evenhis cock
But even if he didn’t intend to ever touch her again, he refused to sit back idly and let Lia Raine He would search the ends of the fucking earth until he found her, starting with Liam’s house in New York He was due to take his annual trip there anyway…and he didn’t want to think about that task at all
Sipping the bitter brew in his e on the other side of the country before dinner
He trailed his fingers over the soft leather of the bench "I’ you back ho voice in the back of his pounding head scoffed With a heavy sigh, he shook the disturbing question away He’d figure out soht now, he needed to pack for his flight No, what he really needed was to see her beautiful face… feel her lush body war in his ears
Goddamnit, no He just needed to know that she was safe End of story
Tearing hi strides toward his office The sound of the front door opening stopped hiuests to play or even for anyone to man the lobby
A flutter of hope burst inside hi the steps up two at a time When he rounded the corner, there she was Raine Oh, thank god She’d co closer by her side, Ha off him Fuck the bastard Liam could be as pissed as he wanted All that mattered noas that Raine had returned
Haround between theh, couldn’t touch her soon enough
As he reached to pull her in his arms, Liam tucked Raine behind his back, his stance both protective and warning The lare that was flat, cold
"Move You have no right to keep her from me" Hammer skirted the otherhis way into her eyes But, for once, he couldn’t read what she was thinking What the fuck was happening here? He leaned down to cup her cheek
"Don’t you fucking touch her," Liaaze "I need to talk to you, precious Colared at Liam "In private"
She bit her lip, then turned away from him to look up at Liam with a silent question in her eyes It felt like someone had kicked hi Liam for permission to speak to him Oh, fuck no!
How the hell had Liam tamed her in little ulped in a stunned breath This had to be soht Zone
Liah, but she nodded and cast her gaze to the floor
"Motherfucker!" Haony "What did you do to her, you son of a bitch? Turn her into some kind of Stepford sub?"
"What you should have done!" Liam stepped in Hanant, you selfish prick, I swear by all that’s holy, they’ll need tweezers to find all the parts of your body"
Liam’s threat pissed hiical part of him recoiled, but his primal side? That chunk of his psyche wanted to celebrate Raine was too softhearted to ever end a pregnancy, and the notion that there would be a part of her and hiht, as if the natural order of the world were falling into place God, wasn’t he a stupid bastard?
But if she was pregnant, he’d rip her from O’Neill’s arms faster than the man could blink
"How the fuck could you treat her like that?" Liam went on "There’s barely an inch of her body that isn’t bruised, inside and out"
