My hackles rise.
There’s no way she could even get out of this place. You need a code to do so, and I didn’t give it to her.
I should give it to her.
She was locked in that room with Miles McAllister, and I don’t want her to feel locked in again.
“Savannah?”
I find her in the bathroom, in the bathtub, her eyes closed. I stick my fingers in the water. It’s lukewarm.
The poor thing fell asleep.
I nudge her on the arm. “Savannah. Wake up.”
Her eyes pop open. “Shit.” She moves around, splashing water. “Damn. Where am I, Falcon?”
“You fell asleep, Savannah. Don’t you know you should never fall asleep in a tub full of water?”
“Of course I know that. God, I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.” I grab a towel and hand it to her. “The water’s cool now. You need to get out before you catch a chill.”
She stumbles out of the tub, and I get a good look at her naked body. God, she’s so beautiful. Every part of her.
But right now, she’s shivering. I wrap the towel around her and hug her close. “Promise me you’ll never fall asleep in the tub again.”
“I promise.” She shivers. “That was really stupid.”
I say nothing more. Just hold her.
She finally pulls away. “I was supposed to make you lunch.”
“Don’t worry about that. I’ll throw together some sandwiches. You get dressed.”
“What are we going to do for the rest of the day?”
I cast my gaze toward the bedroom. “I have an idea.”
She chuckles. “That’ll be great, but what about after that?”
“Savannah, I can do that for a long damned time.” I kiss the top of her head and then I leave her in the bathroom, head through the bedroom and out, making my way to the kitchen.
My satellite phone rings on the table.
I take a look. It’s Leif.
“What’s up?”
“Just checking in to see if you’re okay.”
“So far so good. Good thing we’ve got a lot of books and movies here.”
“I’m sure the two of you can find something to pass the time.” The tone of his voice tells me he knows exactly what I’m planning on doing with Savannah.
“I taught her to shoot this morning. The girl’s a natural.”
“She should be, coming from her stock.”
