this alone. I can’t survive this guy that’s after me without you. Neither of us can do this alone, but together we can destroy them.” She stressed the last part of her sentence, punctuating each word with the calm sense of anger she now felt within her. Together they could win this. Together they could give an end game that left them both alive.
    “Then together we find victory, or we find death.”
    She nodded. “Victory,” she said because that sounded a heck of a lot better than them dying. Of course he was both a skilled warrior and a realist. He knew nothing was promised, no outcome could be guaranteed, but he would fight until death to make sure those responsible for his parents’ murder were punished and that she would be able to wake up every day breathing. He was protector and warrior. He was a man without borders, without boundaries, without mercy. He would do whatever it took to win this not just for himself, but for her too. Together they would take these guys down.

Chapter Five
    Abby had awakened early, showered and ate the breakfast food Rhys had prepared. She cleaned the kitchen. He cooked, the least she could do was help clean up. Then she went to the back room where she was sure he was at so she could spend a little time talking with him about their plan. She had barely made it into the room when he knocked her to the ground.
    “Stay down,” the harsh timbers of his voice sent fear cascading down her spine. Something was wrong. Somebody was out there. Had the guy found them already? How could he find them so quickly?
    “He’s here,” his words confirmed her fears.
    “How,” she whispered as if whispering would keep them hidden.
    “I don’t know.” He uttered words in a language she still didn’t understand. Clearly he didn’t want for her to understand them. “He tripped one of my sensors on the property line which triggered one of the cameras I have hidden. He’s good, but he missed my security—so far anyway.”
    “And if he figures it out?”
    “Then he’ll figure out how to cut us off. Right now he’s moving toward us.”
    “Should we leave?” He lay atop her, still covering her as if he were shielding her from bullets.
    “Too risky. Plus I need to get this guy. He won’t give up. If I don’t take him down he’ll keep hunting you.”
    “I get it, but what about capturing him and getting him to tell us who hired him?”
    “Men like him don’t talk, not even under torture.”
    His voice told her he knew of what he spoke. He had said this man was like some younger version of his skills so of course he would know how tough he was, how determined he was, and how mulish he could be when it came to going out his own way. Besides, capturing him would probably just end with him finding a way to escape and come back for them. “So two of us against one of him should be winnable right?”
    “Correction, one of us against one of him. You’re sitting this one out.”
    “Hey! Partners, remember?” Now was not the time for him to go all primeval caveman on her. They were going to get this guy together.
    “Not in this. You can’t win this. Stay put, stay low, and stay out of my way.”
    She would find righteous indignation but the man was right. She couldn’t win with this guy. He had already proven that. “Okay, but if you go down and I think you need help I will get up and help.”
    He snorted but gave what she thought to be the okay grunt. Well too bad if he wasn’t okay with it because he had to know that she was not going to lay low and let him get killed. If he died she would die here anyway so why rest on her haunches and watch him need help without getting up to give him the help he needed? No, she was going to help, if and when he needed it. Until then she would stay out of his way the best she could.
    She knew he would have to remove himself from on top of her body at some point, but that didn’t mean she was glad that he did. Not only did she miss the feel of
