Letting out a frustrated groan, Iris turned off her phone so she could sleep uninterrupted and curled up under her soft covers She hadn’t slept in nearly two days because of work Worrying about anything else right noas stupid when deep down she knew that Wyatt wouldn’t sleep with soally bound It wasn’t the way he was hardwired And she needed rest in the worst way When she talked to Wyatt she needed to be on her game Because if he sensed any weakness, he’d pounce and take full advantage

Wyatt looked up from his laptop as the door to his office opened He’d recently bought a ho into this one ht of living here on a perined Because the sole reason he wanted to stay lived here too He just needed Iris to talk to hi a s were great They’d had breakfast, talked about the future, then he’d gone to work for a few hours and when he’d coing by the pool, but then he’d realized all her bags were gone In their place she’d left hiet back to work, but she’d call him as soon as she landed in Miami She’d never called Instead he’d received standard divorce papers two days later

He got pissed even thinking about it Divorce? It shredded hie like that He’d been holding back his feelings for her for what felt like forever Feeling a dark mood settle over hi in the doorway The twenty-four-year-old wohly reco and hadn’t gotten him in time to talk to Iris Now Iris’s phone was turned off and he was edgy at being unable to speak to her "Yeah?"

"Not that we can tell, but we’re taking inventory and checking for explosives"

His frown deepened as various scenarios raced through his mind "Do a full sweep of the kitchen Check the food, drinks, everything" He received his fair share of death threats so it wasn’t a con concept that someone would try to poison him It had happened a couple of ti deal Coot desperate so further instructions

"What should I do? Should I call the police?" Ellie’s face had paled a fraction as it dawned on her why he was having Jay check the food

Wyatt held back a snort He respected law enforce they could do other than take a report Which would just waste his tiht hate that the woer every time she went to work, but Red Stone Security was the best protection agency in the region And if he had to hire Iris as his personal security to get her to talk to hiht now and the thought of Iris protecting hiet on board with that Wyatt knew that under noruard hie favor for Keith Caldwell, Harrison’s father, a few years ago, and the man owed him It was time to collect
