Quint grinned. “I wouldn’t mind one bit, Natalie.”

“Don’t hold your breath, cowboy. You lied to me. You’re a bodyguard, aren’t you?”

“You’re shaking.”

From fear, the fear of losing her. He swallowed hard. “I’m glad you’re all right.”

“And you?” she asked. “Are you hurt?”

Looking at Natalie, knowing that she was alive and well, he felt the soul-deep pain beginning to heal. “I’m just fine.”

“Good.” She straightened her shoulders. “Because I’m going to kill you.”
