Alien Prince’s Son
Page 63
Trevor helped Lara out of the passenger side. Spencer got out, walking up to the man who had appeared to welcome them and shaking his hand. Trevor held Lara’s hand as she walked around the truck, smile on her face, eager to greet the owner of the dude ranch.
When they made it to the driver’s side of the truck, the smile slipped off Lara’s face and her stomach dropped. She stared at the man, her face blank.
He smiled at her, holding his hand out, but she didn’t take it.
“Hi Lara,” he said, still smiling despite her blank stare. “I’m happy you’re here.”
“I thought you were dead,” she said, then closed her mouth, looking around to make sure the children weren’t in earshot. “I thought you were killed in the shootout.”
She looked to Spencer for reassurance and was rewarded with a rare smile.
“It was part of the plan,” he said. “When I gave up all the information I had to the Feds, I had to die in order to go into witness protection. New life, new name, and new home.”
“You snitched?” she said, shocked.
“I did. I didn’t get into the mob life because I wanted to, and I made a promise to my wife.”
“How did-” she stopped and shook her head. “I saw them take you out in a body bag.”
He laughed.
“You should have felt the dye packs that the agent shot me with. He was the only one who knew, so I was still wearing a thin vest, just in case someone else shot me, but they still stung.”
“What about the coroners?” Lara asked.
“They were US Marshalls,” Spencer said.
“Wow,” she said. “I can’t believe this. And your wife?”
“She’s due in a month or so.” He stepped forward, taking her hand in his and smiling. “I’m so sorry that I almost blew you up in your car.”
She laughed, shaking her head and amused.
“I can’t even believe that I’m saying this, but don’t worry about it.”
“Thank you,” he said. “Your forgiveness means more to me than you will ever know.”
He led them inside, showing them to their room, one king-sized bed in the large room upstairs. Lara opened the window, staring out into the vast, open space, her smile a mile wide.
“What?” Trevor asked, standing behind her and wrapping his arms around her.
Spencer stood beside them, looking out the window, and reaching out for Lara’s hand.
“Nothing,” she said dreamily. “Everything is just so perfect. I can’t believe how lucky I am.”
“Trust us,” Spencer said, squeezing her hand and leaning in to steal a quick kiss. “We’re the ones who are lucky.”
