“What’s wrong?”
My hands are shaking as I show him the text message. Tristan holds me as he hands my phone to Keegan.
“I’ll call Sebastiano and get this to him.” Keegan says to us.
“I don’t understand why this persons doing this. Why me?” I whisper to Tristan.
“I don’t know why. But I’ve got you, this bastard isn’t going to touch you.”
Tristan leans down and kisses me.
“I’ve got you, we’re going to find out who’s doing this.”
“What if you can’t? You can’t stay here forever and Grayson said his guys will be available in two weeks. I don’t want you to leave.”
“I’ll stay as long as you need me.”
“Thank you.” I say as I hold onto him.
“Bastian said they’ll trace this text and get back to us tonight.”
“But it’s so late.” I say to Keegan.
“Don’t worry about the time. This needs to be looked into. Why don’t we put another movie on and wait for his call.”
“A-are you sure?” I ask as I look at everyone.
They don’t answer me. Instead, everyone grabs drinks and more snacks. We turn a movie on and wait for the phone call.
CHAPTER TEN
Lily
We all fell asleep in the living room. The guys are sprawled all over the floor while Paisley and Cora are curled up on the love seat together. Waking up in Tristan’s arms is where I want to wake up everyday. He’s even gorgeous when he’s sleeping. I haven’t told him about the conversation I had with Paisley. But I’m excited to talk to him about it.
“Is it time for breakfast?” We hear Apollo mumble from under his blanket.
“Um. I think you killed your bed.” I laugh as I look over at him. The air mattress he’s sleeping on is flat as a pancake.
“Ugh. No wonder I couldn’t get comfy. Stupid bed.”
“Maybe you should skip breakfast.” Armando laughs.
“Uh no? Why would I do that?”
“You broke your air mattress. It’s dead.”
“And? It was faulty, it had nothing to do with me. I just happened to get the shitty one.”
I laugh as I get up to make breakfast. I’m definitely going to miss all of this when they go home. I never really thought that I was lonely before. I mean I have Paisley and Cora, we’re together almost everyday. But lately that’s all I can think about. How lively my house is with all the guys here. Lake Renegade is sounding more appealing as the days go by.
I’ve already finished Carter’s book and he said it will be coming out in a few weeks. I always get excited for my authors when it’s time for the release.
“Sebastiano texted and said they haven’t been able to trace the number. It’s a burner phone. But they’re not giving up. They can see that whoever’s using it is here in Texas.” Armando says to us.
“We should update Grayson on what’s going on.” Tristan says.
“I’ll head over to the Ranch to talk to him.” Keegan answers.
