Safe.Oh, I felt more than safe, a hell of a lot more.My body hummed with need I couldn’t sate with them in the room.
Nick turned on his side, spooning me, and began massaging my scalp.Dylan lifted onto his elbow and propped his chin in his palm before tracing a finger down my cheek.
With a moan of delight, I closed my eyes as the abstract patterns their fingers painted lulled me into darkness.
ChapterThree
Ashrill screech filled the room, jerking me awake.I tried to sit up but was tangled in a web of heavy arms and legs.Nick groaned and pawed at a leather case on his hip while the incessant alarm continued blaring.At the same time, Dylan scrubbed a hand over his face, then turned my way.
“Good morning, gorgeous,” he said, as a lazy smile spread over his lips.
“Hello,” Nick growled into his sat phone.“Yeah, just a sec.It’s for you,” he announced, handing me the phone.
“Hello?”
“Sanna?Please tell me you’re not hurt,” Mellie frantically demanded.
“I’m not hurt.”
“Oh, thank god.How bad is your car?”
“Completely totaled.”
“Well, shit.I’m sorry.”
“Me, too.What are you doing?”
“Well, I was sleeping, but…” I chuckled.
“Are you telling me you’re in bed with the guy who answered the phone?”
“Yeah, I mean…no,” I stammered.“Not like you’re thinking.I’ll explain later.Where are you?”
“I’m home,” she said with a dejected sigh.
“No,” I whined as I tucked the covers around me and sat up.“You really can’t get here?”
“Have you looked outside?Of course, you haven’t.You’re in bed with Mr.Dreamy Voice,” she laughed.“I was stuck all night in the Oklahoma City airport, watching the weather channel.You’re in the middle of a one in a thousand year blizzard.They cancelled every flight from Omaha to Chicago…indefinitely.I finally said fuck it and caught a red-eye back to Phoenix.I’m sorry, baby.I’m not gonna make it.”
“Well, shit,” I sighed.
Nick cleared his throat.When I glanced his way, he scowled and mouthed, “Soap.”
“I’m sorry I woke you two up so early.I hope I didn’t interrupt anything,” Mellie teased with a wicked giggle.
“Three of us,” I mumbled without thinking, then cringed.
“Oh, little sis, we’re going to have a nice long talk when you get home,” she furtively whispered.“I’m gonna need a play-by-play of all your sweaty deeds.”
“There’s nothing to tell,” I muttered, then quickly changed the subject.“You’re really not coming?”
“Baby, they’ve not only shut the airports down, but they’ve also closed all the highways as well.The only way you could get back to Kansas City for a while is with a sled-dog team.”
“Aww, dammit,” I groaned.
“I know.I know.But hey, it’s not all bad.You’re snowed in with Mr.Seduction Voice, and whoever else.And since I can’t get to you, I’m going to crash for a few hours, then repack and head to Cancun.Alejandro is waiting for me on his yacht.We’re going to sail up to Baja for a few days.”
“You lucky little bitch,” I giggled.
