She heard the door open and shut and she glanced down to see Scope and Cap heading toward the war room.
She wondered what was going on but decided that she needed rest more. Making it to her room she took out her earbuds, took off her blue jeans, motioned to Caesar for him to get on the bed and then she slid between the sheets again.
Everything would be clearer when she woke up.
She hoped.
CHAPTER FIVE
Cap had no idea how he was going to convince her to go with him.
But he’d been in tighter situations and come through. This time would be no different. As he watched her sleep he wondered if she ever dreamed of him. Because God knows he dreamed of her nightly. If he got sleep.
She’d been gone from him for two years. Two years where he’d wondered if she was even alive but trusted that he would be able to feel it if she wasn’t. That’s how deep their connection went. And no matter how much she tried to deny it, she still felt all she’d felt for him two years ago.
She shifted under the covers and Caesar adjusted to her movement. Damn dog hadn’t changed either. Still as protective as he’d always been. He and his mistress looked they’d been run to ground, though. It was time for Cap to step up.
She’d finally ended up on his radar and he was on her now. Nothing was going to happen to her while he was around. Melody had told him she had plans to leave after dinner. Dinner had come and gone an hour ago and still she slept. The woman was tired of running and Cap understood.
As if she felt his gaze caressing her, her eyes opened on his. He’d left the lamp on, knowing she hated the dark. He’d not wanted her to wake to the black, not now that he was here. Her hair was spread across the pillow and his hands clenched on his thighs. It was either that or reach for her.
Her eyes were spitting fire so he figured discretion was the better part of valor and he continued to sit in the chair beside the bed.
“Hey,” he said, knowing she couldn’t hear him but speaking anyway.
She made a growling noise he found inordinately cute. “How the hell do you keep ending up in my room?” she signed furiously.
He blew on his nails and rubbed them on his chest. “I’m just that good,” he mouthed.
She banged her head against the pillow and growled again. He wanted to hear her do that while he was inside her. “Just that annoying. Seriously,” she signed sitting up. “How did you get in? I not only locked it, I shoved that chair under the doorknob and I pushed the dresser in front of the chair.”
He cocked his head. “I not only got in but I did it without waking you. Do I get extra points for that?”
“You get no points, Cap. None.” She pushed the covers back and he was afforded a look at her long, firm legs. Runner’s legs. Fucking sexy is what they were.
“I don’t remember you being this stingy,” he signed to her, doing his best to hold back a smile.
Another growl, and he went hard but stayed in his seat. She stood then and he noticed she only had a t-shirt and panties on. How he’d love to put his hand in those panties and stroke her to orgasm.
His hands clenched again.
“I’m going to take a shower, Captain. When I get out, you need to be gone.”
“How about I shower with you, we both get off, and then go back to bed?”
He was really pushing her but he couldn’t help it. He wanted to be inside her in the worst way.
She’d changed. Matured. Her life had been hell the last twenty-four months and where she’d been a slightly impressionable young woman when he’d met her three years ago, she was now all woman. It was yet to be determined if he could impress her.
The shower cut off and he imagined the water sliding down her body, skin moist and fragrant. No matter what soap she used she always smelled like vanilla.
Goddamn but he loved vanilla.
His jeans were tight and he was pretty sure his dick would break his zipper if he stood up. So he remained where he was. He’d come here to talk her into going to Chicago with him and the rest of his men, not fuck her. Not here. Not yet.
It’d be a tough fight but Cap was determined to win.
“You’re still here,” she said on a heavy sigh. She’d put her earbuds in and her voice was low and sexy.
