Standing, I reached out a hand to him. “Deion, I’m Cale. It’s nice to meet you.” Shaking hands, I promised, “I will take care of her. She’ll be safe with me at my place.”

Lia, who had stood up as well, nodded at him.

“Okay then. Looks like we’re finished up here. Lia, don’t forget about the Halloween party on Friday night. I expect you’ll be bringing Cale?” he questioned her, now smiling.

She grinned back, “Of course.”

They hugged once more before he and the other firemen left us alone in the dark.

AFTER PACKING BAGS for me this time, we locked up and headed to our cars to go to Cale’s house. I was really upset that this creep Sam had tried to set my house on fire with us in it. I wasn’t sure how to handle the situation, but leaving for Cale’s house seemed like the safest bet at the moment.

He walked me to my car to make sure I got in safely. The man was extremely overprotective—not that I minded one bit. When I went to open my car door, I froze when I saw the rose sticking out the window with a note tucked behind it.

No! I can’t handle this continual harassment!

“Shit!” I heard him curse behind me.

Snatching it up, I tore open the envelope before Cale could take it from me, needing to know what it said. Holding up my phone, I used it as light for us to read.

I dropped the letter to the ground and spun around to face Cale with tears in my eyes. “Will it ever stop?” I demanded, letting him embrace me.

“I hope so,” he whispered into my hair.

The whole ride over to Cale’s, I thought about Sam.

What did he mean he’d find me?

I really wasn’t looking forward to that moment one bit. At least I felt like I had a reprieve from the stress of it for the rest of the week.

When we walked in the house, I sat down in the recliner, putting my face into my hands, trying to numb my mind while Cale quietly left the room. I was still deep in my thoughts when he came to get me a little while later. Pulling me out of my chair by my hand, he silently led me to the master bathroom. My eyes widened when I noticed the lit candles scattered about the bathroom.

“I ran us a bath,” he told me softly.

The funk I had fallen into since finding the rose tonight somewhat lifted as I smiled up at him. We undressed and slipped into the hot water with him behind me. The silence continued on as he washed my back, arms, neck, and breasts. I closed my eyes and fell back against him, leaning to the side, giving him access to my neck.

His kisses started out slow and comforting in nature. But they became more frenzied as he made his way up to my earlobe and gently nibbled, causing me to pant. I gasped when his arms wrapped around me, one hand caressing my breast and the other making its way down south.

When his fingers connected with my clit, I began writhing against him. I felt him harden behind me. Letting go of the events, even momentarily, I gave in to the orgasm that had been building and thrashed against him in pleasure. I cried out his name in ecstasy, finally breaking the silence. In just that moment, I was free of everything except my Cale.

Exactly the way it should be.

Cale finally spoke after a few minutes. “Lia, this won’t go on forever. He’s going to slip up and I will catch him myself if I have to.” He paused a moment before going on. “I’ve waited my whole life for something good to happen to me. It’s always just been out of reach. I never had the courage to go after what I wanted until now. And you, Lia, have had terrible shit happen to you as well—probably worse. You are so deserving of a great life. I’ll be damned if I let that dickhead interfere with our happiness. So believe me when I say I will end this. I promise,” he vowed.

I simply nodded. Funny thing was, I completely believed in his words. Sam might have scared the hell out of me, but Cale was the kind of guy that would make it all better.

As we quieted down again, sitting in the warm water that smelled of lavender, I thought about how, since I had met Cale, I hardly ever thought about the abduction, especially when I was with him. It was like, from practically the moment we’d met, we were orbiting around each other. Safe. I wondered if this was how everyone felt once they found that person they completely clicked with, the person who gets them on a level nobody else ever could.
