jealous. Aedan thought the sun rose and shone with Natalya. And he adored her little son, Mateo, even adopting him.
    Mateo’s father, Diego Mota, had agreed to the adoption. It was probably for the best that Mota stayed out of Mateo’s life. As a lieutenant in the Fuerte cartel, Mota had done and seen some evil things. The cartels were not to be messed with.
    “He does. Just like Rogan cares about you.”
    Miller shook her head, grabbing the bag from the cashier with a smile of thanks.
    “I know you think he’s interested in me but he’s not.” He’d never made any sort of move toward her. “He feels responsible me. He feels guilty because he believed Iker’s lies about me.” Iker had been holding her against her will, pumping her fill of drugs. But he’d told Rogan she was with him voluntarily. “He thinks what happened to me is partly his fault. That’s what you see in his expression. Guilt.”
    Natalya sighed. “Come on, we need a drink. And by drink, I mean something rich, creamy, and delicious. Bit like Aedan.”
    Miller rolled her eyes, following Natalya as she marched off. Natalya’s bodyguard, Caden, followed them. Colm hadn’t come, knowing Caden would watch over them both.
    “We’re going for coffee, Caden,” Natalya informed him.
    “Great,” he muttered unenthusiastically. Miller felt much the same way. Natalya would interrogate her until she got the answers she wanted. She might act like an angel, but the woman could have worked for the CIA.
    Natalya led her into the closest café, choosing a booth right at the back.
    “This feels like déjà vu,” Miller said as she slipped into the booth.
    “So long as some crazy bitch doesn’t attack us in the bathroom.” Natalya grinned.
    “She was freakishly strong. I understand why she stalked Aedan, though. The man is hot.” Miller fanned herself. Aedan looked like he’d dropped to earth straight from heaven. His gorgeous face had helped make him a huge movie star. He’d stopped making movies, but he remained a hunk.
    The crazy blonde who’d been stalking him attacked Natalya in a public bathroom, but Natalya had gotten the upper hand. With a bit of help from Caden.
    The waitress brought them two high-calorie concoctions. Miller took a big sip, her eyes nearly crossing as sugar rushed through her blood. “Wow, that’s rich.”
    “Speaking of rich,” Natalya said. “Rogan is loaded but you’re always reluctant to spend his money. Now, all of a sudden, you want to buy a dressing gown thousands of bunnies had to die to make. What’s that about?”
    “It’s not made of fur! Worst segue ever, by the way. I do not care whether Rogan is rich or poor. Bad enough he pays for the roof over my head and the food I eat. I don’t have the right to buy whatever I like with his money. It’s wrong.”
    “So then why buy that god-awful dressing gown?”
    Miller sighed. “You are so tenacious.”
    “I know. It’s one of my best qualities.”
    Miller rolled her eyes. “According to you. I need a barrier between us, I guess.”
    “A barrier?” Natalya frowned. “Is he bothering you? I didn’t think Rogan would be the type.”
    “No, he’s not bothering me.” Far from it. She was worried about jumping his bones.
    “You sure? Because I could send Aedan around to deal with him.”
    Aedan wouldn’t have a chance against Rogan. They might be cousins, but they had little in common.
    “Rogan has been nothing short of wonderful. He paid for my rehab, he’s paying for my therapist, and he’s putting a roof over my head. I can never pay him back.”
    Natalya frowned. “Is that what you think? You owe him? ’Cause everything you just talked about was to do with money.”
    “I know Rogan doesn’t think I owe him. But I feel like a burden. I should have moved in with Dylan and Tilly.”
    It might have made things a lot simpler.
    “Your therapist is here. It would have been hard to change to someone new. Besides, I think you wanted to stay
