“You can bet I will. I promise you that Mr. Smith is not getting in here. Not while I’m here.”

I believe him. I believe Leif. But The Dark One got in the restaurant somehow. Of course, the restaurant has several doors, and Leif doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head. This apartment only has one point of entry. No balcony or fire escape. Probably not the safest thing, but I understand why the Wolfes gave us only one point of entrance.

So that we—the victims of their father—would feel safe.

But I’m not safe. The Dark One knows where I live. He got into the building, found my apartment, and left me that scathing note. And then he found out where I work, got in there as well, and…

Images replay in my head, but I block them out. One thing all the years of my mother and all the years on the island did for me—I’m good at blocking things out.

I squeeze my eyes shut, burrowing my nose into Leif’s shoulder.

“Kelly, I’m happy to stay here and hold you, but I can’t do that if you want me to check the bedroom and bathroom.”

He’s right, of course. I pull back, gulping. “Yes. Please check the room. I’m so scared, Leif. How did he get into this building? How did he get into the restaurant?”

“I’m much more concerned about this building,” Leif says. “The restaurant has several entrance points. The main one, of course, where customers and employees go in, but there are two in the back. One for deliveries and one for refuse pickup. Clearly he used one of those. I had one eye on the entrance at all times, even after the doors closed for the evening. I knew there were other points of entry, and I probably should’ve had them watched as well.”

“I don’t know how that would’ve helped,” I say. “Three security guards on duty at the apartment, and he got past them. Have they found the two that are missing yet?”

“No, Kelly. They haven’t.”

I shiver. Falling in love with Leif has made me so much more aware of other people. Those two officers who are missing. Do they have families? Significant others? Children? People who are destroyed because they’re missing?

The Dark One doesn’t care about any of that. He cares only about himself. A classic narcissist, as Macy would say.

Leif touches my hair, kisses my cheek, and then he rises. He switches on the lights, and I squint against the glare, but my eyes quickly adjust. Leif checks the bedroom thoroughly. Exactly the way he checked my place a few days ago when I asked him to.

He’s done in about half an hour, and then he strips off his clothes and gets into bed beside me.

He spoons me against his warm body, kissing my neck. “Go to sleep now, baby. I’m here, and no one can harm you.”

His hard cock presses against my lower back, and I undulate my hips against him. I’m still wearing my underwear, but nothing else. He’s completely naked.

“Please…” I say.

“You need to sleep.”

“I’ll sleep better if you do. Please.” I push my panties down over my hips. Wriggle out of them quickly.

“If you’re sure…” He kisses my neck and slides his dick between my ass cheeks, finding my pussy.

I warm, quaking in anticipation.

The head of his cock teases my pussy lips, and then—

I suck in a breath as he pushes inside me in one perfect thrust.

He groans against me. “God, Kelly. You feel so good.”

“You do too. Take me away, Leif. Take me away from all this shit in the world.”

“None of that exists right now. Only me. Only you. Only our love.”

He slides in and out of me, and I undulate against him, meeting his thrusts. He slides his arm over my hips, and his fingers find my clit. He massages it slowly, methodically, in time with his thrusts, and soon my nipples are puckering, my pussy is throbbing, and I’m ready, ready, ready—

“God yes…” I say on a sigh.

The climax is different from the others. It’s soft and sweet and full of protective wonder. He continues to glide in and out of me, the pressure on my clit lessening, and then he thrusts hard, growling.

As my climax subsides, he releases, and I relish every pulse of his cock inside me.

“God, baby. I guess we both needed that.”

“Yes,” I say on another sigh. “Yes. I think I can sleep now. But don’t let go of me, Leif. Hold me all night long.”

“You bet I will.” He kisses my earlobe, slides his hand up, cupping one of my breasts.

I close my eyes, and I drift off.

This time…only Leif will be in my dreams.

LEIF

I wake early, which is normal for me no matter how much sleep I get. Some Navy habits are hard to break. It’s a little after six a.m., and Kelly’s still sleeping peacefully next to me.
