"Come here." I held out my hand for her to join me on the high backed hair I was sitting on.

When she was settled in my lap, I kissed her hair and hugged her close.

There was no other way around it, so I just went ahead and said it all at once.

"Dorian Carter is one of the agents in town to work on the case of the guy we found in the water."

I felt her body take the hit, it was a quick jolt but it was there nonetheless. She made to get off my lap, but I wasn't letting go.

"Where're you going baby?"

"He's here, right now?" She looked around as if expecting to see him walk through the door any second, there was fear in her eyes.

What the fuck? This is not the reaction of a woman who was cheated on, anger yes, but fear, hell no.

"Talk to me princess, what's going on?" My heart was starting to knock the hell out of my chest and that feeling that had started with her brothers had intensified.

She looked at me without saying a word.

"I can't talk about that right now, I just...can't, I need to get out of here."

"What are you talking about, you're not going anywhere, what the...what did he do to you?"

"Not now Donovan, please, maybe I'll tell you sometime, in fact I think if we're going to make this work, take it any farther, then I will have to tell you, but not now, please.

Just know that I can't be anywhere around that man. I don't want to see him. I know how his mind works; he came here for a reason. I can only surmise that that reason is me.”

I don't know why he would believe that I would want anything to do with him after the way things ended between us, but the bare thought of him being anywhere near me makes me feel ill."

"He won't get anywhere near you sweetheart, he'll have to go through not only me but your brothers and the chief."

I had to get to the bottom of this shit, I didn't like where my mind was going. If I found out he had hurt her in any way I was really gonna have to hurt that fuck.

"Listen, you're my girl aren't you?"

"It would appear so." She gave me a little half smile, not good enough.

"So do you think I'm such a wimp that I would let some other dude mess with what's mine?"

I tried to temper my words so she wouldn't hear the seriousness behind them, but she was not fooled. I should've known better, it seemed we were very attuned to each other.

"Donovan, don't do anything stupid okay. I don't want you getting into trouble, he's not worth it, and I'm depending on you to keep my brothers in check."

"No can do sweetheart, not on this, not when it comes to you, ask me for anything else but not that. If he steps out of line he'll get what's coming to him."

I'd had all intentions on keeping the boys under control until this new development. I won't push her, but I needed to know what the hell was going on, I couldn't protect her otherwise.

"On to better things, how're you doing baby, apart from him who should remain nameless being here?"

"I'm doing pretty good, you?"

What I was about to say could possibly get me a knee to the nuts, but I would protect what's mine at all cost, even if it meant having her pissed at me.

"Never better, I've got my woman in my arms finally, nothing can be better, one thing though. For the next little while, unless you're with me or one of your brothers you don't go anywhere alone."

She opened her mouth to argue but I cut her off.

"It's not up for debate love."

"How come I never saw this side of you before, you do know what century this is right?"

"You never had cause to see this side of me, because my woman wasn't threatened before, now she is, that pisses me off, and since you refuse to tell me what that threat entails, this is the best I can do.

You don't go anywhere alone, you hear me?"

I squeezed her side to get her to answer.

"I'll think about it...."

"Princess, look at me."

She looked at me. I'm sure the look on my face convinced her of just how serious I was. I've never sworn in front of her, not intentionally anyway, but this situation called for some harsh words. If she was gonna do this with me, then she had to know all sides of me, not just the easy going guy, but the hard ass that I could be when I needed to.

"I'm not fucking around. If you disobey me on this, there will be repercussions. I love you yes, but this is who I am, my woman minds me.
