Page 173 of Her Daddies' Everything

All of them had been visiting Cat and Alejandro for a week now in South Hampton and it was time to get home.

Tobias nodded. “Sure. What about?”

“About whether you want to go back or not.”

Tobias straightened. It seemed that the FBI agent Cat was friendly with had found the wannabe-Deity. It wasn’t clear who this guy was or why he’d targeted Maeve and then Cat. But at least he was in custody.

Of course that also meant there was no real threat to Immy or the others.

“There’s no reason for you to return with Cat’s friends now that the FBI has someone in custody.”

“Except we don’t know why he targeted Maeve and Cat. And whether he was going to go after Immy next. He might have more Sentinels out there.”

Alejandro nodded solemnly. “All true. But you’ve been with them for a while. I could switch you out.”

“That’s not going to work. I know their routines. I know how to take care of Immy. Someone else will have to learn all of that and that would put Immy at risk.”

“And the others.”

“Immy comes first,” Tobias said firmly.

“She does,” Alejandro agreed. “Just wanted to check that you were still good with the arrangement.”

“I am,” he said.

“You seem to care about Immy. A lot.”

“There a problem with that?” he asked stiffly.

Was Alejandro trying to warn him off Immy? Did he think that Tobias wasn’t good enough for her?

“Not from me. You are aware she’s been in love with Jenner for a while?”

Tobias shrugged. “Seems that way. But he’s had time to make his move and he hasn’t. If he hasn’t laid a claim already, well, maybe he doesn’t deserve her.”

Alejandro studied him for a long moment. “I actually agree. And for what it’s worth, I think you’d be good for her.”

Tobias breathed out a sigh of relief.

“All right, I’ll tell Sampson that you’re coming back with him indefinitely. But if this guy the FBI has is the real deal and nothing happens for a while, then you might not be needed there.”

“And you’ll want me to come back?” he asked. Because he was well aware that he wasn’t actually in charge of where he went. He’d pledged his allegiance to Alejandro a long time ago.

“We’ll see. Just . . . keep Immy and the others safe. They mean a lot to Cat which means they’re important to me. So nothing happens to them.”

“You got it, boss.”

Immy let the music flow through her.

The fans cheering became background noise as she watched Jenner sing. He moved from one song into another.

And she recognized this song. It was her favorite song even though it was a bit sad. All about a man who loved a woman that he didn’t think he was good enough for.

Made her eyes water every time.

“You shouldn’t be here.”
