We arrive in Athens soon after.
LeAnn grabs two metal cases and puts them into our black Cadillac Escalade. I'm still on the jet waiting for Ryder to exit.
He walks up to me, placing his hands on my hips.
"I want you to listen to everything she tells you, okay? And don't leave her side at all."
Ryder tucks a piece of hair behind my ear.
"I will, I promise," I say as I smile nervously. "I expect the three of you back in one peace."
Ryder nods.
"And we still need to finish our conversation from earlier. I intend to have it," I say as I blush. Ryder pulls me into a kiss.
I wrap my arms around his neck, standing on my toes. Placing my hand on his head, I deepen the kiss and let Ryder's tongue invade my mouth.
Do I really love this man? After all, I am sending him to death's door to get my parents back. Will he return to me or disappear as he has done before?
No! I can't think that way! It's his love for me that has him risking his own life.
