He steps forward and takes my hand in his. "And I regret it every day," he says. His touch burns into me, but I know I can't be betrayed by this physical attraction again.

I pull my hand from his. "Enough. You don't get to touch me. I'm here for my family. Go back to your business. I'm not interested."

Gabriel moves into my personal space again.

Viktor moves lethally, placing himself directly between us. "She said enough," he says, his voice is cold steel.

It shouldn't, but Viktor's level of protectiveness sends a thrill down my spine. Fuck, I'm so wrong. Stop it.

Gabriel's jaw tightens, and for a moment, I think he's going to push back.

But then he steps away, his hands raised in mock surrender. "Fine. I'll back off. But only because Cass asked me too. It was wrong of me to barge in with expectations." "You're damn right it was," I say.

"I hope Winona recovers well. Perhaps you can spare me some time one evening. For me to apologize properly..."

"What part of the word no, don't you understand?" Viktor says.

"Actually, I'm free Friday night if you're still in town?" I offer. Viktor doesn't call my shots for me either.

"I can be. I'll pick you up here at eight?"

"Sounds great."

"The watchdog isn't invited," Gabriel adds as he turns to leave.

Henry begins a solid cry. "Sorry, I'll take him to the kitchen for his dinner. Welcome to join us, Viktor, Gabriel...?"

I glare at Jayden and he grins back at me.

"I'll take a raincheck." Gabriel says. "See you Friday, mi reina." And he's gone as quickly as he arrived.

"I have dinner organized thanks," Viktor says.
