It doesn't take me long to make my mind up. I don't doubt that I can keep my woman safe and this gives me a reason to get even closer to Carson without having to admit to her that I lightly stalked her before all of this.
Stay.
Jim's sending us more men over tomorrow so Steve can take Ana to a safer place. The way things are looking, these guys aren't going to wait around to make a move for try number two. They look like the kind that can't hold their wad.
"Hey Carson, we have to talk."
She rolls over so she can look at me. "Is everything alright?"
"No, not really." Her eyes fill with worry. "You know how I said we might have to quicken the pace a little bit?"
"Yeah."
"It's going to have to get a lot quicker, babe. As in you need to slide over here so it seems like we're making out."
"What?" I don't give her time to come up with an excuse for not doing it. I take her and pull her close. So close she's under me.
I bury my face in her shoulder and hair.
"I just got word from Remy that the guys in the house next door are watching the room."
"What?" She hisses it and tries to pull away, but I won't budge, which means she's stuck...laying on her back. "How the hell can you tell that?"
"Believe me, honey, there are ways." I drop a kiss on her bare skin and flick my tongue out for a taste. She rewards me with a soft gasp.
I wait for her to turn her head before capturing her lips with my own. I spread her legs wider with my hips so I can fit - perfectly - between her soft thighs. She gasps but I capture it with my mouth, stopping it from going any further than the two of us. I whisper against her lips. "We have to make this look convincing."
"Why does this matter so much? If they think we're together?"
"Because until we can find the man who keeps putting kill orders out on us, none of us will know a moment's peace. We'll be constantly running scared, trying to protect not just our own lives but the ones we care about most as well. This is the only way! Getting them to think my guard isn't up at all, that I'll be easy prey, is the only way to grab these bastards and force them to tell us who hired them." I've pulled back to look down at her so she can tell how sincere I am about this. How serious this whole thing is for all of us?
"Oh. That's a good reason."
I stare down into her eyes. And do the one thing I don't want to do. "Listen, Carson, if you want out...this is the time to go." Her brows furrow. "I can do this while you're safe, away from all of this. It would be like none of this ever happened. We could hide you and Jack until we have what we need."
I hold my breath, I actually hold my fucking breath, while she gives me her answer. She opens that lush mouth of hers and I stop her one more time.
"This is it, Carson. Last chance."
She doesn't understand what I'm trying to say to her, but I think on some cellular level she does. I didn't want to give her this chance to leave me and all this crap behind. I have to give this to her.
"I want to help you." Her hand comes up to caress my cheek as we keep eye contact with one another. "I...I don't want to be sent away like some...shunned nun or spurned lover. Not that we're...,"
I stop her. Not just because she needs to be careful what she says because of who might be listening but also because it won't be long before we are exactly what she was about to state that we were not. I crash my mouth down on hers and set to work making her forget just what she was about to say. I tried. I tried to let her go. Now, she won't be offered a second chance to walk away.
I run my hand up under her leg so I can help her wrap it around me. The feel of her soft skin under my touch sets my blood on fire. Her naturally talented tongue stroking against mine has me falling back to the more basic part of myself. It's the part the military relies on, the part they foster and promote. The wild part that understands life and death. That’s the part this woman calls to. The basic instinct to take what rightfully belongs to me!
And this woman belongs to me!

I run my hand up her softness until I come to the band of her panties. They piss me off because they are keeping me from what’s mine. I wrap them around my hand, looping the lace twice before I give a hard yank and hear them rip from her at the same time she gasps out loud at my actions. I hold them to my nose for a second before tossing them over my shoulder. I have plans for those later.
I nestle myself even more between her thighs and she just realizes that I've kicked my own boxers down. She breaks the kiss.
