\u201cI knew you were too smart for your own good. That\u2019s exactly what I think. It\u2019s why we\u2019re going to circle down and around and then approach the mansion from the opposite side. They know you ran this way, so they\u2019ll be looking over here, hopefully we can sneak past them.\u201d Exhaustion was taking a heavy toll on her. When she\u2019d opened her eyes to find that Christian was here, Lila had thought everything was going to be okay.<\/p>\n

Instead, they were separated from his team and alone. Zara and Ross would have at least a dozen men with them, possibly more. Not good odds. Easing her off his lap, Christian shrugged out of his pack. \u201cYou should eat something and drink some water. I\u2019ll check your foot then we\u2019ll get walking again.\u201d Taking the offered energy bar, she opened it and took a bite. It didn\u2019t taste very good, but it was food, and she needed the boost it would give her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow long will it take us to get back to the mansion?\u201d \u201cI want to go far enough away that they aren\u2019t expecting it. I\u2019m thinking late the day after tomorrow. If we maintain this speed,\u201d he added as he peeled off her sock and examined her foot to make sure her toes were still getting adequate blood supply. The prospect of spending two more nights out here in the forest, two more full days of walking was almost more than she could cope with.<\/p>\n

Lila quickly took another bit of the energy bar, it was either keep her mouth occupied or burst into tears again, and she didn\u2019t want to subject Christian to another crying jag. \u201cDrink some water, sweetheart,\u201d Christian prompted as he put her sock back on and then maneuvered her heavily bandaged foot back into the boot. Lila sipped unenthusiastically at the water, rubbing her arms, chilled now she\u2019d stopped moving. Maybe she shouldn\u2019t have run. If she\u2019d just endured what Ross wanted to do to her, she would have still been in the mansion when Christian and his team got there.<\/p>\n

The two of them wouldn\u2019t be alone out here now. Although Ross and Zara probably would have taken her with them when they ran. And if she hadn\u2019t been gone Christian wouldn\u2019t have been chasing her, he might have been in the house when it exploded. \u201cTake some more painkillers.\u201d<\/p>\n

This sucked. Majorly. But with the threat hanging over his head Christian \u201cSurf\u201d Bailey didn\u2019t see that he had any other choice.<\/p>\n

Drawing in a deep breath, he forced himself to do this. Breaking Lila\u2019s heart would break his right along with it, but he couldn\u2019t let her know that. If he wasn\u2019t strong and didn\u2019t make a clean break of things, then he was painting a major bullseye on the woman\u2019s back, and he\u2019d rather break her heart than get her killed. Surf knocked on Lila\u2019s apartment door and schooled his expression into a mask of disinterest. If he didn\u2019t like the woman so much this wouldn\u2019t be so hard.<\/p>\n

When he\u2019d met her, he\u2019d been in the middle of a month-long sex binge. Falling for a woman had been the last thing he\u2019d wanted. After he and his team\u2014Prey Security\u2019s Alpha Team\u2014had been ambushed and held captive in Somalia, they had been beaten and tortured for two weeks before they\u2019d been rescued. He\u2019d found the only way he could cope with the mess of emotions and overwhelming helplessness the ordeal invoked was the high of an orgasm. Meaningless sex was all he\u2019d wanted.<\/p>\n

In and done as quickly as possible. Get the woman off, get himself off, then leave. He hadn\u2019t even known the names of the vast majority of them. Hadn\u2019t wanted to. It wasn\u2019t about them, wasn\u2019t even really about him, he just needed that high to survive.<\/p>\n

Until Lila had changed everything. \u201cOh, Christian, hi. What a great surprise.\u201d Lila\u2019s sweet smile greeted him like a beacon shining a light through a pitch-black night. She might not know it\u2014would likely never know it\u2014but she was what had saved him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
