One of those lies Mavis predicted he’d tell himself, David supposed. But it was one he could live with. It would soften the blow for whatever was going to happen. He settled in on the deck of Blue Blood, sipping his beer, Duchess perched on the railing beside him, and drifted off to sleep beneath the rising moon.

And dreamed of going home to Bonnie.

—------------

David was finally ready to begin his journey to High Tide Harbor when he got a message notification on his phone. He opened the email, and was pissed when he saw who the message came from.

David hissed. Same unknown guy who had been sending those threatening messages. The idiot had given up for a while only to return now…probably to resume those empty threats. His eyes quickly scanned the message and his heart dropped into his stomach.

The message read:

'You probably thought that I had forgotten about you, and I don't blame you. I was just waiting for the perfect time to strike….Trying to figure out what to do to hurt

    Bonnie had just stepped out of the shower and into the room when the door flung open and David stepped inside and shut the door behind him. She was so startled that she almost let go of the towel she had wrapped around her body. Bonnie glared at him as she took a step back in shock. "Jeez. What the fuck is wrong with you David?" she asked, "What are you doing? You scared the hell out of me. Don't you know how to knock?" David said nothing, but his eyes were glued on her. She looked fucking sexy, with her hair tied up in a messy bun and her hands wrapped around her, gripping the loosely tied towel against her breasts. It only pushed them upward, making them even more pronounced and after spending hours away from her, David admitted to himself that he had missed her terribly. “What are you doing?” Bonnie asked again and lifted an inquisitive eyebrow. "And why are you back so fast? I thought you would still be fixing the boat?" David shook his head as if he was waking up from a tr

    “I wonder why that is…since you don't care” Bonnie said. He came to stand in front of her, his eyes blazing with anger, “I never said that i don't care he said, “You can say all you want, but don't twist my words. “Actions speak louder than words, David. ''Bonnie retorted, “You have been looking for ways to get rid of me for a while now, and now you finally have a reason so I'll leave but I still stand my ground. I’m not going back to my dad. You can take me back to my place and I'll stay out of your way from now on.” “Are you just trying to annoy me?” David asked, unable to hide his frustration any more. “Believe me when i say this, David. The way you feel right now is the least of my concerns. You said i’m a target because of you, i’m sure i’ll be safe when i’m away from you” He stiffened. “That's not how it works” “That's my decision, David. You better take it and stay out of my way. Now if you will excuse me, I need to get dressed so please leave. I need some privacy, and p

    "Fuck it," David swore and got up from the couch. When he headed towards the bed, Bonnie froze. He was wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and he never took his eyes off her as he climbed onto the bed and hovered above her. "What is your problem, Bonnie?" He asked. "I don't have a problem. You're a the one who has a problem" "Well then, do you mind telling me what my problem is? “I will" Bonnie shot back and lifted her body so she was balanced on her elbows. The position brought her dangerously close to David, but she didn't care, determined to try to talk some sense into him. "You problem is that you're afraid of being happy. You're afraid of letting go and letting someone in. You build this…. Annoying wall around yourself and end up pushing everyone who cares about you away and you make excuses for it… like your job and shit like that, but the truth is that you're just afraid of people leaving. You feel like you are better off if you are not attached to anyone and that's ju

    He dipped his head as he used his hands to spread her legs wider, exposing her fully to his view and taste. He ran his hands up her inner thigh until he slid a finger into her core while his tongue pleasured her skin. Her shoulders came off the mattress then as she screamed his name. David stuck his tongue out, and licked her from slit to starfish, and back again. She had a nice taste and David licked and licked, knowing that this might be his last time with her. Probably the last time he would ever touch her again. He kept one hand stroking either her back or her legs, keeping constant contact. It was only about five minutes and Bonnie was pushing her butt into his face, moving her thighs around, and she was even creaming on his tongue. She was moaning, but in a way that she certainly was self-conscious about making too much noise. After all, this was a hotel. She came all over his face, and David knew that it was time for him. David stood up, and as Bonnie tried to stand up, He p

    "Then go find whoever you are looking for. I don't care." Bonnie retorted, "But there is no way in hell I'm going back home with another one of you guys. I have had enough already." She pointed an accusing finger in his direction. "And you know what, David? You should really listen to me and take lessons in communication because you suck at it. What is with you and wanting to make every fucking decision for me without talking to me about it first?" "Excuse me, Mike," David said, nodding in the direction of his friend, before grabbing Bonnie by her arm and pulling her away so they could talk without Michael hearing their conversation. "Damn it, Bonnie!" he said, gritting his teeth, "What is the matter with you? I do that because you're so fucking stubborn. You never want to listen because you always want things to go your way. You fight me on everything so I think it's just better this way. And even after that, it's still so fucking hard." Bonnie yanked her hand out of his grip

    It was more of a statement than a question and David wondered how and when he became so transparent about his feelings. Did people always see through him this easily? Had he always been that way or did this just apply to Bonnie. He had a feeling that it did. He also knew that there was no point denying it to George so he didn't even try. "Oh gosh, man. You're in love with her, aren't you?" George asked and David flinched. "That's what this is all about. It's why you're finally taking this so serious. I get it now. I was wondering why they would treathen a client to get to you and now I finally understand." David shook his head. "It doesn't matter," he said, and hoped that he sounded convincing enough to make-up George stop talking. He didn't obviously, because George didn't stop talking about it. "I knew it" he said, almost as if he was enjoying the whole thing. "I knew when the right woman came along, you'd fall so hard. I said so. Didn't I? You love Bonnie Rimmer." Bonnie, D

    Six days, Bonnie thought. It has been six days since she had reluctantly said goodbye to the man she loved. Six days she'd spent trying to keep him out of her mind and move on… except that plan kept failing because even though she was trying, she hoped that he would at least give her a call to check on her, but he hadn't. In fact, judging by his actions so far, he seemed really okay with it. She knew that he called Michael regularly just to see how well the job was going, but that didn't mean anything because not once did he even ask to speak to her. Her emotions were all over the place. She went from neutral to sad to angry and then back to neutral. Right now, she was angry and she was done making assumptions from his actions. If there was one thing she'd learnt from this, it was that jumping into conclusions without any conversation was just setting yourself up to get hurt… and that was what she'd done simply because he'd been nice to her on his boat… she had jumped into conclusi

    David preferred darkness to light, and that was the reason why he figured it would be better to visit the house at night. After so much work, he and George had finally tracked down the location the texts and calls were coming from, and although David couldn't wait to get his hands on the bastard who had caused him so much stress, he figured it would be better to do it at night. He liked the shadows, the silence, and the fact that most people were asleep. Even those awake were on the low end of their energy cycle —although not him. He made sure of that. He didn't know just how many men would be at the house, so he'd brought two men from the agency to join him and George. He had also contemplated bringing Michael along, but decided it would be better if he stayed with Bonnie until he was sure that this was finally over. So far, there were no reports from Michael about anything being suspicious, and David was beginning to think that the message had been nothing but another threat, but h

    "You're awfully quiet" David said to Bonnie when they got into the taxi that was supposed to take them to High Tide Harbour. She had been that way during the flight and David was starting to get worried. "I'm not" Bonnie protested, but even she knew that she didn't sound convincing enough. "Yes you are. You barely spoke to me on the flight except for when I asked you a question. And you slept during most of it. Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong? You can tell me and I'll make it right." Bonnie gave him a small smile. She felt guilty for making him think that he'd hurt her. He'd been perfect the entire time even after they said goodbye to her parents. The truth was that she had a lot on her mind. Her fears had been confirmed. She was pregnant! The weird thing was that she was thrilled about it. She was happy in fact. She was having a child… David's child was growing inside of her and she knew she'd love the baby with all her heart, but she was worried too. Having a baby ch

    "You shouldn't be the one to apologize." Robert replied, as he touched her chin gently so she would look at him. "I was selfish, and I guess I was a bit too focused on what I'd benefit from your marriage to Marcus. I'll admit that I was really angry at first when you left, but after a while I thought about it, especially after David Stewart confirmed that you were alright, then I realized that I pushed you away. For that I'm sorry… ""Oh, dad""I see how… different you are now" Robert continued. "You look more confident in yourself and you're so happy… am I wrong?" Bonnie blushed as she shook her head. Was it really that obvious? But he was right. She was happier than she'd ever been in a long time. "No you're not" she replied finally. There was a pause, before Robert added. "And am I wrong to assume that David Stewart has something to do with that happiness?" Bonnie averted her eyes. She knew the topic of David would come up sometime. His presence alone was going to bring it up an

    "Do we really need to do this?" Bonnie asked David as they got into the car. Finally, she was going to visit her parents for the first time since she ran out on her wedding, and no matter how much she tried to stay positive about it, there was this nagging pit in her stomach. She also had this horrible headache that just wouldn't go away. David sent her a heart warming look. "Yes, we do," he replied, then he tried to make her feel better by saying, "I'm sure they would love to see you. When your father hired me to find you, all I could see was a man who was really worried about his daughter and her safety. Whatever you might be thinking, nothing is going to go wrong. You called and told them that you were coming, right?"Bonnie sighed." Yes, I did." "And what did they say?""They said they'd be thrilled to see me" David raised an eyebrow. "So what's the problem? I'm sorry, but I fail to see it." Bonnie shook her head at him. "You seem to have forgotten, but I ran out on my weddi

    Her pulse quickened even more and her lips parted as she struggled to breathe. She wanted that now—to be in bed with him. “I’m sorry,” she murmured.“What? It’s not your fault,” he said. “It's not your fault that I couldn't stay focused on my job. Honestly, I’m glad I didn’t and I don't regret any moment I spent with you. It was all worth it.”Bonnie smiled, then for some reason probably just to tease him, she used her hands on his knees to lever herself to her feet. Then she turned to walk away from him, but he stood and reached out. Catching her wrist, he whirled her around to face him. “Oh, hell,” he muttered before he lowered his mouth to hers.David kissed her hungrily—like he had earlier. His lips nipped and nibbled at hers, tugging until she parted them. Then he slid his tongue inside where it tangled with hers. She gasped and panted for breath as passion overwhelmed her."Were you really going to walk away from me?" he asked as he withdrew, breathing deeply. "Nah, I just wa

    Bonnie unlocked her house and stepped in, carrying a big bag of groceries. Before she could finish locking the door behind her, David appeared beside her. He flashed her a smile that was difficult not to return. “Everything okay?” she asked him.He didn’t stop smiling. “Yeah. Why do you ask?”“Well, you were almost at the door waiting for me”“That’s because I missed you,” David replied.Bonnie simply blushed and looked away from him."Let me help you with that" he said, but Bonnie moved out of his reach and headed for the kitchen. He followed her. “You don’t have to. Besides, your shoulder hasn’t healed fully”"You know I'm not helpless, right?" he said behind her. "I'm just injured, and I have seen worse injuries." Bonnie dropped the bag and glared at him, "I’m sure you have. But like I said, your shoulder isn't completely healed yet," she said. "Don't put so much stress on it for now. I can handle the bag, and while you are here, you will do exactly what I say." "Yes, ma'am" Dav

    George nodded his head. "Yeah, I already told the cops everything. They'll handle him." "Good" "He's alive too." "He is?" Both David and Bonnie stared in surprise. "Yeah. Apparently he's a tough old bastard, but he's going to spend a lot of time cooling off in prison." "I guess so" came David's reply. "I also checked on Michael," George added. "And?" "And he will be alright. The doctors say it might take a while, but the surgery was successful. If everything continues to go as planned, he will be alright" Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief at this information. Everything would be alright. Everyone was going to be okay. She watched as George tapped David on his leg and realized that they weren't just partners. They seemed very close and genuinely cared about one another. After he said goodbye to David, he turned to her. "It was really nice to meet you, Bonnie" George said, "although the circumstances and situation in which we met were… really wild, but I'm glad I met you. You h

    Bonnie screamed as the shots went off, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw David and Jonathan crash to the floor. She thought he was dead. But he’d been fine. Not totally fine. Fortunately for him, Jonathan had missed hitting anything fatal, but David's shoulder had been hit. Jonathan, on the other hand, lay dead on the ground. She flinched as she remembered the image of Michael lying helpless on the floor, unable to do anything for him, then she snapped out of the shock and ran towards David. She shook him and watched as he slowly opened his eyes "Oh God, David," she cried. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Are you going to be okay? Can you hear me?…I'm so sorry, David" “It’s just a scratch,” David said to her and gave her a small smile to assure her and make her calm down. "Stop worrying. I'm fine… and so are you" "Thanks to you." said Bonnie, unable to stop the tears from falling. You saved my life. If you hadn’t come in when you had…” She shuddered as she realized that could

    While the other two men stayed outside and watched the building, David and George went into the house. It was empty. That was something David already knew, but he signed George to look around the other rooms while he went straight to the room he suspected Bonnie would be in. He got to the room but it was locked from inside. But he was now one hundred percent sure that Bonnie was in there because as soon as he tried the door, he heard her muffled voice. She clearly wasn't alone because someone made her stop. David's chest ached from the pain that had struck his heart when he’d heard Bonnie cry out from within the apartment. He had to get inside—without that man hurting Bonnie any more. He hammered at the door again. “C’mon, I'm here. lemme in.”“No—” Bonnie began but then cried out again.He stepped back, so he had room to kick in the door. When he tried once and the door didn't budge, he put his gun in the waistband of his jeans and moved backwards to try again. But before he could

    Bonnie sat quietly in the room where she was kept. Her face felt hot and she knew she had a cut on her lower lip from where she had been hit when she was grabbed. She had cried her eyes out until she didn't have the energy to cry anymore, so she just sat on the floor with her knees raised up to her chest and tried to think. Her life had changed so much since she ran out on her wedding…. It hadn't even been up to four months but so much had happened that it felt like years had passed. Her thoughts drifted to David. She was in this situation right now because she had gotten involved with him, but funny enough she still didn't regret it and didn't regret running out on her wedding. How stupid was she? She couldn't help but wonder because only a crazy person would think the way she was thinking right now. She sighed…. A person crazy in love. She winced when she thought about Michael. How was he? Was he dead? Did someone find him? The question bothered her and the assumption that he ha
