left him.”
    “Grant—” she started.
    He shook his head. “I went to confront my mom, and while I was home…he had Jess taken.”
    “It’s not your fault,” she assured him.
    “I didn’t protect my sister. I won’t let him take you away from me too, Paige.”
    She smiled. “But that’s what he’d be doing if you tried to send me away. And notice I said tried. I’m still not going,” she told him with a soft kiss.
    He ran a hand through her hair, pulling out the holder. “You have no idea of the evil we are up against.”
    Paige leaned into him again and rubbed her lips over his. “Maybe not but I know we can defeat him.”
    “I wish I knew that for sure.”
    “Let me show you what I do know for sure,” she said with a smile and pressed him back on the bed.
    They kissed deeply before she took her time undressing him. When she took his hard cock in her mouth, he finally relaxed and let her lead.

    Later that morning, Paige was finally able to talk Grant into letting her visit Tasha. He promised her Tasha was okay but Paige wanted to see for herself.
    He walked her to the same room they had gone to the night before.
    “Visit with her, and I will come back for you,” Grant told her before he kissed her forehead.
    “I think I can find my way back to your room,” she teased.
    Grant grabbed her chin and lifted her face until their gazes locked. “Last time I left you alone with another of us, you ran away,” he said seriously.
    Paige dropped her eyes, unable to deny it. She hadn’t see Adam yet and was kind of hoping she wouldn’t. She didn’t know why he had told her the things he had but she wished he never had.
    She knew what she and Grant had was special.
    “Don’t think I won’t get to the bottom of it either,” he warned and dropped his hand.
    He started to walk away but Paige quickly grabbed a hold of his shirt. “I’ll wait here for you,” she told him quietly.
    He smiled. “Thank you.”
    “I love you,” she confessed. “I won’t be going anywhere.”
    Grant wrapped his arms around her shoulders and hugged her strongly. “Take your time. I will be here when you’re done. I love you too.”
    Paige opened the door after he walked away and stepped inside. Marisa sat in a chair next to the bed, writing in a notebook. She smiled at Paige as she entered.
    “I wondered when you would visit,” Marissa said softly.
    Paige tore her eyes from the fragile woman on the bed. “How is she?”
    “She’s going to be just fine.”
    “Tasha?” Paige called out to her friend as she made her way to the bed.
    Tasha opened her eyes and gave her a small smile. “Hi.”
    Paige laughed and hugged her gently. “Hi.” Tasha returned the embrace and Paige felt tears of joy fill her eyes.
    Marissa cleared her throat. “I can see she will be in good hands with you. If you wouldn’t mind me stepping out for a few minutes, I promised Grant I would get you set up with a computer.”
    “A computer?”
    Marissa smiled. “Yes, he told me that you would be working with him and Sam. You are his partner, after all.”
    Paige couldn’t help but grin. Grant hadn’t said anything to her but she liked the idea of being able to help Grant with his search.
    “Thank you,” Paige told Marissa sincerely.
    “No, thank you. You’ve made him very happy.”
    With surprise, Paige watched Marissa walk out of the room after her declaration.
    Tasha nudged her. “You okay?”
    Paige smiled at her friend. “I am. How are you?”
    “I’m sorry, Paige,” Tasha said and dropped her head.
    “Hey,” Paige ran a hand over Tasha’s hair. “You have nothing to be sorry about, honey.”
    She sighed. “I wish I haven’t been caught. I wish I’d never come here.”
    “I know honey, but you’re here now. We don’t have to hide anymore,” Paige tried to calm her.
    “Paige,” she said as tears fell. “I can still feel him inside me. I can feel how he felt when he saw you with that man, his son.
