did.”
    “I know you’re not my dad. It’s just hard for me to accept. I feel like everything has happened so fast. Me being in danger has put our relationship into overdrive.”
    Neil took Kate’s hand. “I really would feel better if you had security. If Roger is a killer, wouldn’t you feel better having a former Navy Seal looking after you and protecting you if necessary?”
    Kate sat there staring back at him. How had her life become so complicated and out of her control? She wanted some control back, but that seemed out of her reach right now. “Okay. I agree with you that security is a good idea. When do they start?”
    “When you return from Minnesota,” he said , kissing her on the cheek.
    “I appreciate you doing that for me,” she said, shaking her head. “I’m so sorry to put you through so much trouble.”
    “You are not trouble , Kate. I want to keep you safe.”
    “You do know how to get your way, don’t you, Mr. Statton?”
    “I sure do. Right now, I just want my way with you, baby,” he said scooping her up in his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck. She could see where this was heading.
    “Hold on tight, baby,” he whispered.

Chapter 7

    Roger woke up , realizing that he was going to have to end this fling with Rose sooner rather than later. She was too clingy and needy. He hated that in a woman. Sure, she was beautiful and great in bed, but it was annoying that she didn’t seem to have anything going on in her life. She had been available to him every night since they met, either spending the night at her house or at his apartment. He liked her, but she hadn’t taken his mind off of Kate. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to juggle her, Kate, and Paulina when she arrived with Jacob in a few days. Something was going to have to give.
    He had made excuses not to see Rose over the weekend. He told her that he had plans with friends that he couldn’t get out of. She tried to invite herself along, but he didn’t answer her. He was going to spend the weekend looking for Kate at Nordstrom again. It was his best bet for finding her. Perhaps the woman he spoke with had been protecting Kate and had lied about her quitting. It just seemed too convenient that she had quit the week before he was looking for her.
    If he struck out at Nordstrom , he would go to SDSU on Monday morning and drive around looking for her car. If he spotted it, he would just wait for her and follow her home. The only problem was that there were several places that she could park and he could spend time perusing one area and she could leave from another area. Maybe she was even parking in a different structure each day. He doubted that she had a different car. If she had, then he would have to actually spot her leaving campus.
    He would go to Charlie’s work on Monday afternoon and follow her in case she and Kate were still roommates. He had a lot of surveillance to do, but finding Kate would be worth all of the time and effort. He was sure that deep down, she was wanting him to find her.
    ***
    San Diego State had been a huge disappointment. He couldn’t find Kate’s car in the two structures that he searched. By the time he made it to the third structure, he realized that she would be gone. “Damn it,” he said, hitting the steering wheel. This was taking too long. His best chance would be later at Charlie’s work.
    He made it to Charlie’s office about four-forty-five. He drove around the parking lot, but didn’t see her car. He decided to wait just in case she had bought a new car. He stayed until six, but he never saw her leave the building. This day had been a total waste of time and he was no closer to finding Kate.
    He went home and decided to drown his anger by pulverizing the punching bag for a while. But, that didn’t work. He needed Rose’s body to take away the disappointment of not finding his Kate. He would see how far he could push things when he fucked Rose. It wouldn’t be fun for her
