Bodhi grinned shyly. “Yeah?”
“God, yes.”
He reached over to stroke his hand over her hair. “Sailor King…you make me so happy. I don’t want to freak you out or anything, but one day, I want to marry you. Don’t worry, I’m not asking yet, but I will ask, someday.”
Sailor reddened with pleasure. “And one day, I’ll say yes. I promise.”
Bodhi took her plate from her and set it down on the ground. He pulled her to her feet and led her down the hill. Sailor chuckled at his mischievous face.
“Where are we going?”
Bodhi laughed. “The olive grove…another fantasy of mine is to fuck you there.”
Sailor’s heart began to beat faster and she grinned. “Lead on, Mr. Creed.”
In the middle of the olive grove, he took her, laying back on the earth and moss, and grass, her legs hitched around his hips, his cock driving deep inside her.
Afterward, hand-in-hand, they made their way back to the house, talking and laughing. Sailor happened to glance around and stopped Bodhi. “Look.”
They saw a cloud of dust making its way up the hill. “Someone’s coming.” Bodhi frowned. Soleil and Claudio weren’t due back for another day.
They walked back to the house and waited for the car. Sure enough, it was Soleil and Claudio, along with Tim. Tim got out of the car and ran to hug his father and Sailor. Soleil greeted them, her usually cheerful face somber. She glanced at Claudio who nodded and took Tim back inside for something to eat.
“Hey guys,” Solly said, “I’m sorry we had to break into your time, but something’s happened back home, and I thought you should know.”
“What is it?”
Solly looked at Sailor, her face sad. “Bay Tambe was attacked in hospital. She’s in a pretty bad way.”
Sailor covered her mouth in horror. “Oh god…what happened?”
Solly drew in a deep breath. “Stuart Lawson. He attacked her with a scalpel. She was protecting the baby, oh, by the way, she had a boy a few nights ago, and thankfully the baby’s not hurt. Bay was cut, and her femoral artery was severed. They had to operate for hours and she’s in intensive care again.”
Bodhi put his arms around Sailor who was sobbing. “Did you hear it from the news?”
Solly shook her head. “The F.B.I. called me to try and get in touch with you. Stuart Lawson’s singing like a bird. Seems like Bartholomew Foy arranged his escape, hid him, gave him the opportunity to kill Bay.”
Sailor gaped at her, tears still pouring down her face. “Bart? Why the hell would he want Bay dead?”
Soleil looked at Sailor, deep sympathy in her eyes. “According to Stu…to punish you. He knew you were friends, god knows how. Bodhi…you have a spy in your team.”
“Fuck!”Bodhi was angry now. He tightened his arms around Sailor who was sobbing even harder now. Bay had been attacked because of her?No.No, she couldn’t bear it.
“Bodhi, we have to go home,” she said, trying to calm herself, but Bodhi was raging.
“No, no way, it will be like putting you in the firing range.”
“No-one else is getting hurt because of me, Bodhi, I won’t permit it.”
“Not gonna happen, sweetheart.”
“Stop telling me how to live my life!”Sailor lost it then. “It’s my decision, Bodhi, not yours! I’m responsible for this…god, Bodhi, she’d just given birth! How do you think Tomas feels? The girls? Because of me, their mommy is…” She couldn’t get the words out.
“What’s done is done,” Bodhi’s voice was cold. “Sacrificing yourself won’t change that.”
“It’s not your choice,” Sailor snapped. “We’re going back to the States tonight. I need to be there for Bay.”
Bodhi threw his hands up in the air. “You barely know her!”
