lifted both my hands with one of his and pressed them against the wall above my head before kissing my neck. “You do realize we’re going to have to christen our new bedroom tonight, don’t you?”
“Mmm and the bathroom. I’ve been wanting to get you in that huge bath since we first looked at the place.” Heat rose up my neck.
We kissed achingly slow, stopping when we heard someone on the stairs. “I love you, beautiful girl.”
“I love you too, Mr. Rutherford.”
We stayed like that for a moment, Kyle rubbing his fingers down the side of my jaw. He drew his brows together after his eyes lowered to my neck. “You’re not wearing your necklace. Did you decide to take it off?”
“Hmm?”
“My mother’s necklace. You must have taken it off. Did you forget to put it back on?”
My face chilled as my hand went to feel for the chain. “Oh no! I’m pretty sure I left it on the vanity of the bathroom in the apartment. I forgot to put it back on this morning after my shower. I have to go back and get it!”
“I don’t want you going alone.”
It’s not like I’d be wandering the streets out in the open. I’d be in a secure parking garage.
I thought about it. “You’ll need to stay here to guide the movers. I can be there and back in an hour. I’ll park underneath and hurry in and out, I promise.”
Kyle was fingering his hair, the muscles in his arm tensing.
I could see his indecision. “We don’t have a choice. The new tenants move in this afternoon and I need to get that necklace. Your mother would kill me if I lost it.”
Kyle paced, squeezing the back of his neck with one hand.
I didn’t think he was going to answer at first but finally he begrudgingly said, “Fine, but make sure your cell is on you at all times. If you need to call me for anything, no matter how small, do it. Don’t hang around. Just get in there and out.”
I walked over to him and ironed out the crease in his forehead with my fingers. “Stop worrying. I’m going to be either in the car or in the apartment at all times.”
His mouth was still set. “Why don’t you wait until the movers leave and then we can all go?”
I knew he was trying to protect me but the truth was, he couldn’t expect to be with me around the clock. There would come a time when I’d have to be on my own.
“It’ll be too late by then. I’ll lock my car door at all times, I promise. And I won’t stop anywhere else on the way.”
I didn’t wait for his response. I kissed him lightly and then turned to walk out, but not before he swiped me on the butt gently. “Hurry home.”
I stopped in the doorway and glanced back. “I’ll be back before the furniture is all unloaded.”
With that I left, stopping to let Daniel know where I was going before heading downstairs and out to my car, grabbing my keys and purse on the way through the kitchen.
Once in the car, I locked the doors and drove out the gates, which remained open for when the movers were finished.
Being a Saturday, the traffic thickened as I got on the freeway. All lanes were clogged and had slowed down to a crawl.
I turned on the radio to help pass the time and make the journey more bearable.
It took an extra twenty minutes to reach the apartment so I put the phone on hands free and called Kyle to let him know I’d been caught in traffic and would be late home.
As long as he knew where I was at all times, he wouldn’t worry.
His last words played over in my head. “Please be safe.”

The basement was chilly as the cool breeze seemed to squeeze through the gap at the bottom of the roller door that had closed after I drove through. I shivered as I parked and got out, making my way to the elevator. Inside, I scanned the card that enabled me to travel to the penthouse.
After unlocking the door, I walked through the empty space to the bathroom where I was sure I’d left the necklace. Sure enough, it
