“The Falcon House. It’s the opposite direction,” he said conversationally.
I turned and headed in the opposite direction, him walking beside me.
“You’re following me,” I accused four blocks into our journey.
“I’m not. I’m strolling.”
I snorted. “Strolling.The great and powerful daddy Klaus Seeley is out for a midnight stroll in his overpriced suit and his shirt unbuttoned.” I let out a laugh. “You know you scare people, right?”
I stopped and turned to him.
“Do I scare you?” he asked.
I stared up at him. “Sometimes.”
I shivered and rubbed my arms. He immediately took his suit jacket off and draped it around my shoulders.
“Thanks,” I murmured.
I looked past him and frowned.
“There’s a black SUV following us,” I said.
“Yes. It has been since you were walking the wrong direction.”
“Are they your men?”
“No.”
“Aren’t you a little concerned?” I widened my eyes at him.
“No.”
“We’re about to get murdered, and you’re OK with that? Are you drunk?”
He laughed. “Relax. They’re De Luca’s men. They’re watching you.”
I sighed and glanced to see them idling near a curb several feet away.
“Jerks don’t even try to stay hidden,” I muttered, pulling my phone out.
He watched interestedly as I tapped furiously at my phone. I put it to my ear, and it rang several times before Enzo’s deep voice came on the line.
“Call your fucking men off me,” I snarled. “I told you to leave me alone. I don’t need your shitty security detail.”
“Where are you?” he asked, shuffling around. I was sure I could hear Cole in the background.
“None of your damn business. Call your dogs off, Enzo. I’m serious. I will slash their tires if they keep following me.”
“Rosalie, you’re drunk. Where are you?” he demanded, his voice a soft snarl. I knew that voice. It was the overprotective voice he always used on me.
It pissed me off.
“I’ll come get you. Take you to your hotel. Give me the address. I don’t want to have to call my men for the information?—”
I let out a snarl and invited him to a video call as I dug into my clutch and pulled out a knife he’d given me long ago. His handsome face came onto the screen. He was in a high-rise somewhere. I could see the city lights behind him. Seeing him looking so breathtaking pissed me off more.
Storming forward, I went to his men’s SUV. Klaus watched from the sidewalk without saying a word.
