He glanced down to where Bethany's dark head lay on his shoulder. She hadn't stirred either. They'd made love countless times until they'd both fallen into an exhausted sleep.
He reached for his cell phone lying on the nightstand and saw that Kaden was calling.
"Jace Crestwell," he answered.
"Mr. Crestwell, I thought you'd like to know that Kingston returned to the apartment."
"He's there now?" Jace asked in a low voice.
"Yes, sir. Came in a few minutes ago. Let himself in and he hasn't left yet."
"Make sure he doesn't," Jace said curtly. "I'll be right over."
"Yes, sir."
Jace disconnected the call as Bethany stirred beside him. She lifted her head and gazed at him with sleepy eyes.
"Everything okay?"
He kissed her forehead. "I have to go out for a while." He hesitated a moment. "Jack came back to the apartment."
Her eyes became more alert, shaking off the veil of sleep. "I'll go with you."
He shook his head. "No. I'll handle this, Bethany."
