Kara was speechless. The more she heard what her father had been doing, the more upset she got. Not only had her father called and ask her for the only savings she had when he was in trouble, he’d also taken the money that was hers from the ranch.
“If we can take down Rovshan and his men tomorrow, can I pay you and your friends to help me find my father?”
She didn’t know how her father was going to react when the money he was taking from her stopped. Kara needed to sit down with her father and figure out what she could do to help him with his addiction.
Grayson’s lips were turned down in a frown. “You are not going to pay me to help find your piece-of-shit dad.” When she went to respond, he held up his hand. “No good father would steal from his only daughter. After we take Rovshan out, you and I are going to have a good sit-down discussion with your dad. I also have a lawyer looking over the trust to see what you can and can’t do.”
Kara had never had a man stick beside her before. She’d only met Grayson a few days ago, and he had risked his life twice already to keep her safe. Deep down, Kara was starting to develop feelings for Grayson, and she couldn’t hold them back any longer.
Flinging her arms around his neck, she leaned in and captured his lips. Grayson ran his hands through her hair and deepened the kiss. Kara shifted to straddle his lap then ground her pelvis against him.
Grayson groaned. He stood and, with Kara’s legs wrapped around his waist, headed down the hall. Moonlight filled the hallway, lighting their way to the bedroom.
