“Yup…just me. I can’t even get a cat because I’m allergic.”

There’s sadness in her features, and I’d love to press for more information. Why do I want to know everything about this woman?

She releases her hair from her now messy bun, threading her fingers through the ruby red curls with her right hand.

“Mmmm, this feels good,” she says, leaning her head back against the couch.

Holy Shit, now I’m visualizing my fingers eliciting her soft moans, as I whisper dirty, illicit things into her ear. I’m pissed I wore these tight jeans because my dick has been rebellious all fucking day.

Snap out of it, man.

“Um…I’d like to check the rest of the house, and make sure everything is secure.”

She glares at me, shaking her head back and forth. “Look, I haven’t agreed to this. Arie is going to get a mouthful from me tomorrow. I think this is a waste of my time, and yours, but have at it.”

Her skin is pale, and she flinches every time she moves her damn arm.

“Have you eaten?”

“Not hungry, just need sleep,” she mumbles.

She lifts her head off the couch, eyeing me curiously. I walk over and pick up one of the throw pillows. I step in front of her, and she looks up at me with doe eyes.

“Why don’t you relax, while I check the place out? I’ll make you a cup of tea before I leave, and we can start fresh tomorrow.”

“Mmm, yes, tea sounds delicious right now.”

I lean down and gently lift her arm. Hearing her hard intake of breath makes my dick hard as a rock. When I place the pillow underneath her arm, she takes her bottom lip between her teeth, studying me the entire time. Is she as affected as I am, or am I just being a pussy? Our mouths are close enough. It wouldn’t take much to lean in and press my lips to hers. I need to get out of here.

I clear my throat and stand straight. “I’ll get on that tea, and secure the place. Then I’ll be out of your hair.”

I switch on the kettle and make a walk through the house, making sure her windows are locked, checking any areas someone could hide. I spend a little too much time lingering inside her messy bedroom, inhaling her enticing feminine scent. It’s doing nothing to help the severe hard-on I’ve had all day.

I’m a little confused by her aloofness to the entire situation. She needs to take these threats seriously. I make my way back to the living room and find her stretched out on the sofa. I take a moment to observe her. Her eyes closed firmly, her pouty lips parted slightly, as gentle snores float through the air.

What is it about this woman?

I remove the blanket from the back of the couch, slipping it over her tranquil body. She opens her sleepy eyes, just for a second, and the corners of her mouth curve up.

“Captain,” she mutters just before closing them.

Why does she keep calling me that?

I turn off the kettle and make sure the house is locked up tight.

Heading back to Kane Security, I wonder what Jason’s game plan will be with this woman. My intention is to get her out of my mind, but I know tonight when I’m lying in my lonely bed, she’ll be all I can think about.
