Was he wrong about Novo? About feeneral?

Maybe he just needed to have sex with that hard-ass feet hard--and this was not a surprise He’d been attracted to her since day one

Paradise, though, ho had his heart--not that she was even a re around Which sucked It was just … well, they’d developed a real bond during the raids, during all those phone calls when they had both been in their safe houses outside of Caldwell, isolated from everyone but their immediate families

He trusted her in ways he didn’t anyone else

And he was attached to her in ways he wasn’t with anybody else--

The knock that sounded out on his door was quiet, too quiet to be the butler--or that nurse who had forear hi on his head

"Coirl What are you doing here--what’s wrong"

The female didn’t answer him Hell, she didn’t seem capable of speech She just shut the door behind her and stood there, ashen and shaky

His first thought was that Axe had done so asshole had? Head injury or not, Peyton was going to castrate the bastard

"Co the bed next to him "What can I do?"

But she paced around, and it was a while before she spoke "You told…"

"What did I tell you?" he pro to me"

"About Axe … that I didn’t really know hi on?"

She put her hand into the pocket of her coat and took out an object As soon as he saw it properly, he frowned "What are you doing with one of those?"

"You knohat this is?"

"Yeah, it’s a pass to that sex club don The Keys I’m not a member, but I’ve seen them every once in a while Allishon had at least one--I asked her what it was once"

"This is not hers" Elise stared at the thing "But I went to her apartht I just had to--Axe ith me When I found the one that was hers, he said he didn’t knohat it was"

"So whose is that one?" Peyton had already guessed, but he wanted her to have to say it

"Axe’s"

"So he lied to you"
