“You could just stop staring,” Fox grinned.
“My woman is right there!” he pointed at me.
“I see what the problem is. You’re worried she’ll get a little feisty and come after me. No problemo, man. I’ll get out of your hair so she doesn’t get the wrong idea.”
He winked at Eli, slapping him on the back as he passed. Moments later, the shower started and Fox was singing some song at the top of his lungs.
“Does this mean I can go back to bed now?” I mumbled, feeling even more tired than last night.
“We’ve got things to do,” Red said to Eli. “Cash wants us to go check out the hotel she stayed in and see what we can get.”
“Yeah, just let me get dressed.”
“And I can go to sleep?” I asked hopefully.
Kavanaugh laid back with a plop, thrusting one arm under his head. “Sure, if Eli thinks he can trust Fox with you.”
“Not a chance in hell. Scottie can stay.”
“Not IRIS?”
“She learned to throw knives the other day. I don’t need to come back to find she learned how to make an explosive device.”
“So…” I looked at all of them. “That’s a yes on going back to sleep?”
Kavanaugh sat up, smirking at Eli. “Scottie has to figure out how to get the plane home.”
“Then IKE,” Eli argued.
“No can do,” Red shook his head. “Cash wants him on this one.”
“Max,” he continued.
“Max doesn’t even work for the company,” Red scoffed. “And he was drunk the entire night. Do you really want to put him in charge of looking after your woman?”
This was ridiculous. It would go on forever if I didn’t put a stop to it. “I know this is hard to believe, but I’m perfectly capable of watching myself in my own room while sleeping.”
They all studied me for a moment before Red turned back to Eli. “Maybe we could convince Cash to hold back on the investigation into who stole the papers from her hotel.”
I screamed through clenched teeth as I flopped back on the bed. “Sleep! That’s all I want right now. And while you guys are in here arguing about who’s going to watch me sleep, there’s a very nice bomber out there probably getting all the information ahead of you. There goes your lead and your answers. Now, are you going to sit here and watch me or are you going to get the not-so-bad guy?”
“Do you even realize what could happen to you?” Eli snapped, walking over to me.
“I could get some sleep,” I answered with as little sass as possible. Though, that wasn’t really possible with the mood I was in, so it came out pretty much the opposite of how I intended.
“Sarah, let’s face it. There hasn’t been a single day—no, I take that back. There hasn’t been a single six-hour period in which you didn’t almost die. Explain to me how you’re going to keep yourself safe when you’re sleeping.”
God, I really hated how sexy he looked when he was pissed. And I swear to God, I tried my best to be angry at him for how he was treating me, but those amazing eyes stared at me with so much passion that I completely forgot what my argument was. I sighed dreamily and stared at the man who had stolen my heart in only six days.
“How the hell does he do that?” Kavanaugh asked, watching me in amazement. “Did you see that? Did you see how he yelled at her and still managed to get her to fawn over him?”
“Like you don’t have your way with the ladies,” Red retorted.
The cocky look on Eli’s said he knew he won. And I really wanted to be mad at him, but damn, he still looked too damn gorgeous. And if I tugged on that sheet just a little, maybe we could finally get what I’d been deprived of for the last three days.
A throat cleared, pulling me slightly from my lust-fueled fog. “And on that very uncomfortable note, I think it’s time for us to go,” Red said, jerking his thumb toward the door.
Kavanaugh quickly followed him out, shutting the door behind him. Eli was already kneeling on the bed, bending over me and taking my breath away with his perfect kisses. The sheet was down as his thick length was nudging against my entrance in just seconds.
