relief that my rescuer and would-be rescuer are connected. Vince nods, a grim expression on his face. “Yes, he’s a

master of deception, able to blend in anywhere. But it’s

been a month since his last check-in. We’re worried.”

I’m astonished that the daring, kind-hearted man who

pulled me from danger is a spy. Yet it eases my mind

knowing my rescuers are allies. My emotions are tangled,

unsure whether to feel betrayed or grateful. But one thing is

certain - I’m wrapped up in something far greater than I

realized.

When we finally arrive back at the cabin. Vince puts

the car in park and Vince lets out a sigh. He turns to me, “

Baby girl I promise you I will kill every motherfucker that

has ever touched you. You deserve the fucking world. If

you want to burn the world down. I’ll get you the torch and

smile as my queen does as she pleases”

I smile. Vince makes me feel safe and the only place I

want to be is in his arms. He grabs my chin and pulls me in

for a kiss.

A warm smile spreads across my face as Vince

releases me from our tender kiss, our noses still touching in

affection. “I’m going to run you a relaxing bath, my queen.

Go find some comfy pajamas and I’ll meet you there,” he

says softly. I giggle and reply, “Okay, Vince.” He pulls

away and we get out of the car. As we’re walking up the

porch Vince says, “I do have to tell dad that you know

Asher. That’s all I’m going to tell him.” I nod in agreement As we enter the house, Vince heads straight to the

bathroom to draw my bath, just as he promised. I’m getting

used to this princess treatment. Well I guess the queen

treatment as he says that I’m his queen.
