*Tallon*
My nerves were still coiling the second Natalia ended our call. The beating of my heart stammered and crashed against my ribcage like it was trying to escape.
Hearing her broken voice through the speaker of my phone, left my palms sweating and a deep ache in my chest. What could possibly have happened that caused her to nearly break out, sobbing over the phone?
I snatched my phone off of my desk and headed straight for the car without giving it another thought. Out of pure habit, I packed my gun into my back holster and struggled not to think for the worse.
The sound of my heavy footsteps echoed madly throughout the house. I called one of the guards near the front doors to bring the car around. I wasn’t going to waste another moment. I needed to get to her. I needed to pull her into my arms, to feel her warmth and ease her stress.
