Nick is an idiot.
But I can’t fault him for it. If he had realized Sasha’s
true worth—aside from killing and secret information—she’d still be his. She’d
probably be dead because of it too.
My hatred for him dims a little. I will never like that man.
Ever. But he left Sasha for a reason, I think. He left her because she was too
good for him. She was pure and he was corrupt. I have a feeling that leaving
her behind was as purposeful a move as any of the others he’s made throughout
the years.
But why?
Does he love her? Is she the missing woman? She can’t be.
Sasha freely admits she has not heard from or talked to him in a decade and I
believe her.
So who is the woman who lured him back to the States six
years ago? Sasha would’ve been just graduating high school. Her passport shows
she was in New Zealand with her family that summer after graduation. So if he
didn’t come to see her, then who?
This mystery has plagued me for years. Why does one of the
FBI’s most wanted criminals leave Central America and come back to the US when
he’s got a powerful position in a Honduran gang to protect him at home?
Why risk it?
For the job?
No. It can’t be that simple. Nothing about this guy is
simple.
Did he lie to Sasha? Was he really her promise? It’s
convenient that her father and his, the only two men who could substantiate the
claim he made, are both dead.
I ponder this until we reach the airport. And by that time,
Sasha is sleeping so deeply, she doesn’t even wake up when I pick her up in my
arms and walk her up the stairs. I take her to the back of the plane and place
her on the bed. “Sasha,” I whisper softly in her ear.
“Hmmm?” she moans back.
“Let’s take off your coat.”
“Mmmm.” She moves just enough for me to get her coat off,
and then she turns over and falls back asleep with her hands bunching the
pillow up to her face.
I stand there and smile down at her. Just smile. She’s so
fucking adorable. And I’m starting to regret that rash decision to have sex
with her in the car. You only get one first time. This one was pretty good as
far as first times go. But still… I should’ve waited. Made it more romantic and
less primal.
I lean down and kiss her on the head and then I walk out,
leaving the lights off so she can get some rest. I go all the way up front to
the business end of the plane and take a seat at the table.
“Drink, sir?” Essie asks.
“Sure. Brandy, if you’ve got it. You the only one on staff
tonight?”
“No, the other girls are chatting in the galley. But if you
want them, I can get them.”
“No, let them chat. I’ve got everything I need and I can use
the quiet time.”
“Very good, sir,” she says, placing a snifter with two
fingers of brandy in front of me on the table. “Just call if you need
anything.”
I need a lot of things. But nothing Essie can help with. So
I won’t be calling for her. I just drink my brandy and think about Sasha. I
think about picking her up again and carrying her to the car that will be
waiting for us when we land. I hope she doesn’t wake up.
Mostly because I want to carry her again. I loved that feeling.
Her soft body against my hard one. But also because I’m not taking her home.
And when she figures that out, she’s gonna be pissed.
