helped Ashton towel off.
    “I suggest we go to your place and pack a few bags. I think we need to keep exploring this and the best way to do that is for us to be together,” Nate said, looking at her expectantly.
    Ashton looked at them both and agreed. “Okay. I have a shift tonight, so I need to take a nap. Let’s go soon so we have plenty of time together this afternoon.”

Chapter Seven
     
    Shock overwhelmed Ashton when they arrived at her apartment, finding the door broken down and the apartment she shared with Sophie trashed. Their furniture was destroyed. It looked as if someone took a butcher knife to it, or at least that’s the way it appeared.
    Neither Ty nor Nate would allow her inside. Instead, they called it in to the police. The men flanked her, one on each side, as they waited for the police to come. They left her with a patrol officer in the hall when they went to look over the apartment with an officer. When they came back, both men looked as mad as hell.
    The cop talking with her men explained inadvertently, “That’s fucked up, jerking off on both their pictures. You need to tell your girl to call us if someone out of the ordinary seems to be watching her or let us know if something else happens like this.”
    Her head jerked up, and she saw Nate and Ty glance at her face as she reacted to the stupid cop’s words. Cursing the dumb-shit beside them, they quickly made their way back to her. The guys muttered that they wouldn’t be able to salvage much from inside and, even if they could, they didn’t want her in the fucking apartment until they could have the damn thing cleaned up and ensure it was safe for her presence.
    Nate said, “Babe, let’s go. They have all of our information, and we need to pick up some things for you.” Grabbing her hand and linking it with his own, Nate pulled her down the hallway to the elevator with Ty taking up the rear, watching out.
    After they had her safely in the SUV and were headed down the road, Ty asked, “Baby, you need to call work and tell them you won’t be there for a while. Has anyone been harassing either you or Sophie? Calls, notes, or anything like that?”
    “No, nothing. Why would someone do something like this?” Ashton immediately queried.
    Nate shook his head in frustration. “That was someone obsessed, and the fact he was comfortable breaking into your home says he considers you and Sophie his possessions. I’m going to call Mike and Keith and explain everything to them, and they will keep Sophie safe until we can figure out what’s going on and who this guy is. Make a list when we get home of things you need, and we will pick them up or have them delivered.”
    They started home with Nate making several circles and loops through various neighborhoods, and he even pulled through some different businesses. Finally home, they convinced her to go and make her list in the kitchen.
    Walking into the kitchen, she found a pad and pencil and wrote down things she might need. Pulling her phone from her pocket, she called the hospital, explaining what had happened at her apartment and that she needed some time off. The supervisor could only give her four days, so she started with that. Maybe she could take some vacation time or sick days later in the week. She was worried about Sophie, so she called her cell and got her voice mail.
    Frustrated, she went looking for the men, and, hearing their voices, she found them in an office-type room. Ashton poked her head in. Nate greeted her quietly. Seeing Ty on the phone, she tried to back out of the room, but Nate grabbed her wrist and towed her to the chair he occupied then pulled her into his lap. Afraid she was crushing his legs, she attempted to hold herself away from him, but he yanked her into the crook of his chest and maneuvered her legs across his own. His fingers grazed over her mound and up and around her breasts, and then he seemed to content himself with lightly brushing her nipples. He made
