"I didn't say I wanted you to stop."
The blue eyes opened and pinned Emma with a look she hadn't seen in forever. Cain almost looked like she cared.
"How about you and me make a deal until all this is over and we settle back into some semblance of a normal life?"
"What did you have in mind, Cain?"
"Well, we share a name and all these kids running around, so what do you say to being friends? That's one thing we haven't tried in a while."
"I'd love that. You'll see with time that I mean what I've said to you. I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere ever again."
Cain gave in to her fatigue and closed her eyes. "One day at a time, sweetling. Let's not get ahead of ourselves." The feel of the towel disappeared, but not the fingers running through her hair. Their presence put her to sleep.
Merrick was sitting behind Cain's desk at home getting some business done when the phone rang. They had gotten back from the hospital after the nursing staff wouldn't be put off anymore and evicted Emma from her spot on the bed. After a late lunch the Caseys had retired upstairs for naps.
"Runyon," she barked into the phone.
"Merrick, this is Blue over at the club." The man sounded winded and rushed.
"What's going on?" She reclined in the comfortable chair and glanced out the window. Six guards perched on the fence line not far from where she was sitting.
"Some f.u.c.ker just blew the s.h.i.+t out of the place."
Giovanni's eldest son looked on from a few blocks away, the detonator still in his hand. They would take out every one of Cain's holdings, showing her she had no safe place to hide, and they wouldn't stop until all of the Caseys were dead. The blond b.i.t.c.h who had the audacity to touch his son would pay the ultimate humiliation before he personally slit her throat. He smirked as he thought about making Cain watch as he f.u.c.ked her precious little wife before he took her out.
"Tick tock, Casey. Your time's running out, and I'm holding the stopwatch."
