She makes a face and mouths, “Just go with it.”

Just go with it? She’s got to be kidding me, right?

I shift uncomfortably, and not because he’s thrown his arm across my back like we’re that cozy, happy couple again. No, it’s something else.

I take a few deep breaths as I look around the room.

It’s because I like how it feels as though he’s claimed me as his. It’s because I can’t stop thinking about what it was like to lean into him, to feel so safe in his arms.

I never felt that safety with anyone else.

I release a breath and relax, settling in my chair. My phone vibrates in front of me. When I look down, I immediately see pictures of the inside of my home.

“What?” I gasp.

“Grace?” Theo asks as he leans forward while also pulling me into him protectively.

Whoa. Let’s come back to this.

I glance up as my heart stops. Tears prick at my eyes as my chest tightens again.

“Grace, what’s wrong?” Devon questions as he races to my side. “You look like you’re about to pass out.”

I can’t speak, and the words won’t form. I open the message from the unknown number and flip through the pictures before handing my phone to Devon.

“It’s okay. I’m not going to let anything happen to you,” he says as he tugs me into him again.

Did he do this?

My brain says beware, but my body is mush from his touch.

I feel as though the walls are closing in on me. It’s like all of the air is being sucked out of the room but I’m the only one who seems to notice.

“You’re going to stay at Theo’s estate with him until we get this figured out,” Devon states.

“What?” Theo and I gasp at the same time.

Devon doesn’t pay attention to us as he calls over a giant wall of a man in aviator sunglasses and a tux. The two of them whisper quietly before the man walks away. I’m numb as I stare off into space.

This man was in my house when I was there, and I didn’t even know.

How did I not know?

He could have killed me and…
