Obsession and Surrender (The Billionaire's Temptation Book 7) by Cali MacKay Page A

going hard against her aching clit. “Besides, this signing’s overseas. I doubt he’d go to such lengths.”
    “He’s obsessed with you, Lilly. So if you think something as simple as a plane ticket is going to keep him away from you, you can guess again. And you might be willing to take chances with your life, but I’m not.” His fierce intensity, especially when she was the focus of it and he was concerned for her and her safety, made her realize why she’d never gotten over him. “Tell your readers you have some personal stuff you’re dealing with and need to stay low-key for a short while. I’m sure they’d understand.”
    “ They would —these ladies are nothing short of amazing. It’s just that I don’t want to disappoint anyone.” She then had a thought, her smile kicking up as she pressed a kiss to his muscular chest, his skin warm below her lips. “I just had the best idea. What if I get a few bodyguards for the event? Young, sexy, built… preferably shirtless . My readers would love that.”
    “No way, Lilly.” But he was laughing and shaking his head. “But I’ll tell you what... If you don’t give me a hard time about this, and Sirius is locked up by then, I promise to personally escort you to the event, and even go shirtless for you and your readers. But only if it’s safe.”
    “Get Wyatt to join you, and you’ve got a deal.” Two sexy Foley brothers? Her readers would be crazy happy—if it happened.
    Keane gave her an apologetic look and stole a kiss. “I’d do it in a heartbeat, but you know Wyatt’s in Ireland, love.”
    “Which is why it’s a perfect scenario. It’s the Romance Readers Bash—and it’s in Dublin.” Better yet… “What if we head over to Dublin anyway? I haven’t seen Wyatt in ages, and if Sirius doesn’t know where I currently am, it’s another safeguard against him finding me. Besides, the event is still a month away, so it’s not like anyone would automatically think I’ve headed over there.”
    “Yeah…maybe. Getting away for a bit might be a good thing.” He looked like he was mulling over all the pros and cons, and though she’d usually be stubborn about letting anyone have any say in what she wanted to do, she knew he was just trying to keep her safe, and so far, he’d gone above and beyond. “Let’s check with Hadley to see how things are coming along. Then we can see where we stand and what our options are.”
    It then occurred to her that it might be asking a lot of him to just drop everything and leave the country with her indefinitely. “I feel like I’ve hijacked your life, Keane.”
    She was sure this was not what he had in mind when he first showed up on her front lawn. Most guys would have bailed at the first sign of any sort of complication. Instead, Keane was bending over backward and going completely out of his way to make sure she was safe and taken care of.
    She just hoped he didn’t suddenly find himself in too deep, since the last thing she needed was for him to suddenly panic and bail on her, especially now that she’d fallen for him again— not that she’d ever gotten over him .
    “You’re my everything, Lil. You haven’t hijacked my life—you’ve made it worth living.”

    Keane cursed under his breath, though he was grateful Hadley had come in person to give him the news. “If he’s some sort of computer genius who’s able to mask his identity and location, then you’d think he’d be known to the authorities. Right?”
    “I’m working my FBI connections, but they don’t see this as an imminent threat, which means that this is low on their priority list, especially since tracking him is going to be difficult. But I’m pulling strings and working with my own specialists.” Hadley let out a frustrated sigh. “I’m sorry this is taking so long. But…every time we manage to track him, to uncover some info on him, it turns out to be just another cover. I’ve just never
