him.”
    “I am much like you Mr. Briggs. I never fail,” Uri said with a smug grin.
    “Then I think we are done here,” Nate said and stood.
    “Of course,” Uri nodded.
    Nate picked up his piece from the table reassembling it and placing it in its holster. He nodded at Uri and turned to leave without another word.
    “Nathan,” Uri called after him. Nate turned and lifted a brow. “Does she know what you are?”
    Nate smirked. “Does she know what you are?”
    “No but I am not the man that is in love with her.” Nate narrowed his eyes and tilted his head at Uri. “Ah, it is right in your eyes. Being hard men is what makes us the best at what we do my friend, but Pamela puts on a show for the world.
    “She is much softer than she lets on and this is why I protect her so fiercely. Just be mindful that our life weighs on the vulnerability and innocence she so desperately tries to hide. Knowing the truth will soften the blow of what your line of work can bring home to her.”
    Nate nodded thoughtfully. “Thank you, I will keep that in mind,” Nate said and left.
    Uri sighed and rubbed his temple. If Luca wasn’t the only person who truly cared for him he would kill him himself. Being in the States was already proving to be a pain for a number of reasons. Uri got up to shower and get some rest. If he wanted to protect Pamela he would have to play nice for a little while.
     
     
     
     
     
     

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Ten
    N ate looked at his phone and frowned. He’d been distracted all morning. It had been about a month and a half since he showed up at Uri’s door. Uri still hadn’t made face to face contact with Pam, but Nate had a feeling that was because Uri’s family was keeping him busy. However he expected the man would be showing up at Pam’s doorstep soon, especially with the news Nate had received first thing this morning.
    Luca was back in town. He had been in London for a few weeks before he went to Chicago where he had been raising hell for anyone that would listen. Nate knew it was only a matter of time before he returned to New York but now it had him on edge.
    Nate clenched his jaw. If he were honest with himself Luca was not the real reason he was on edge. Pam had been complaining of a headache last night and she woke this morning and emptied her stomach of the breakfast he had made her in bed.
    He’d noticed she was a little sluggish the last few days. At this point he was just about positive that Pam was pregnant. He was frustrated because he wanted to get her to a doctor to start care for the baby right away but he didn’t know how to get her to realize what was going on with her.
    Pamela was stubborn and despite Nate asking her to take the day off she insisted on working. She had several new clients and she was worried about first impressions. Nate had conceded on her working but made her promise him lunch.
    What he wasn’t in the mood for was the email he was staring at. Luscious or Vanessa as he had come to know her had been sending him emails through Desire’s server to meet up. Nate hadn’t thought about her once since he slept with Pam.
    Pamela was everything he wanted in a woman, in the bed, in his personal life, even in business. Nate had found over the last few weeks that Pam was a good listener and she was a sounding board for the parts of his life he could talk with her about. Although Pam was getting a little annoyed with the time he was spending with Bobby lately.
    Bobby needed Nate a lot in the last week. The hanging out with a buddy excuse was getting old. Pam was lonely and in a new place. Nate knew he was soothing that loneliness and he loved it. It was just when duty called there was nothing he could do.
    He’d thought about just telling her the truth a number of times over the last few weeks, but she had been talking on the phone to Marie and Rita a lot more. That changed things.
    He couldn’t afford for her to slip up with Marie. Bobby also had his
