“So you’re hangry?” he tickles my ribs and I swat at him.

“I’m going to kill you if you don’t leave me alone.”

He lets go and rolls away. “Where are you going?”

“To get you some food. Afraid if I don’t you might bite my dick off when I shove it between them lips.”

I grab a pillow and chuck it at him as he roars with laughter. “You’re not funny.”

“I see your lips twitching. You’re about to crack a smile.”

“Am not.”

“Are too.”

“You gonna stand here and argue or are you going to feed me?”

“Damn my woman has a sassy mouth,” he calls out as he goes down the hallway toward the kitchen. The light flicks on, and I hear him pilfering through the fridge and cabinets. Minutes later he returns with a plate holding two sandwiches and some chips with a can of Diet Coke tucked under his arm.

“I can’t eat all that,” I tell him as I sit up in the bed.

“One’s for me. You about near killed me. Burned off everything I’ve had to eat in the past week.” He chuckles, and I think long and hard about slapping him upside the head with one ofthe sandwiches but settle on letting him feed me instead.

Isaac gets half his sandwich ate when his phone starts buzzing from his nightstand. “Lo,” his voice comes out all husky and rough and my insides get all gooey again. “You’re shitting me. When? God damn, man. That’s terrible. Appreciate the update. Yeah. I’ll be there. Later.” He discards his cell phone back to the nightstand and scrubs a palm over his eyes.

“Something wrong?”

“You know a Donna Phillips?”

“What about her?”

“Call came over the scanner. Her husband came home from a trip and found her beaten, gagged, raped, and robbed. Said Jesse is the suspect.”

The sandwich I was eating nearly comes back up. “Oh my God. She was with him theother night at Pizza Palace. He said she wanted to hire him to remodel her bathroom.”

“He’s dangerous and come unhinged. Until he’s caught you don’t leave my sight.”

“I never thought he could be capable of something like this. He grabbed my arm outside of my dad’s. I’ve never gotten along with Donna, but I hope she’s okay.”

“She’s alive but that’s all I know.”

I nod. A million thoughts are running through my mind. None of them happy.

“Babe?”

“What?”

“He won’t get to you. I won’t let him.”

“I know.” And I do believe Isaac will do anything he can to keep me safe. I get the sensation I’ve known him my whole life.

“You done with this?”

“Yeah. Go ahead.” He takes the plate back to the kitchen, and I snuggle deeper into the covers, but I don’t think I’ll be doing much sleeping tonight. Not knowing Jesse is out there somewhere hurting women.
