“Wyatt.” Her voice is soft as her fingers drag against my side. She doesn’t lift her head or even open her eyes. “What time is it?”
“Early, trouble. Sleep. I’ll let you know when it’s time to wake up.” I just want to hold on to this moment with her for a little longer.
“Mmm.” She snuggles against me and my heartbeat quickens. No other woman has snuggled with me. Ever. I’ve never wanted this. Sex was just sex with those other women. Sara is more. I want this part of it. I want all the parts of it.
Blowing out a breath, I look at my phone. Finding out what’s happening with Tom is important. We need to know who’s after Sara and how to keep her safe. We can’t do that if we’re in the dark.
Me:
Sara’s at our apartment, but she might not be safe here
We need to know who’s after her
What the fuck did you get into this time?
Fuck. It’s one thing for him to drag us into trouble. It’s another to drag Sara into it.
I toss my phone onto the nightstand and breathe out.
“Were you trying to reach Tom?” Her breath warms my skin.
“Don’t know what good it will do,” I admit and run my hand down her back. I should have made her take off this nightgown and sleep with me naked. Next time.
She lifts her head and her pale green eyes meet mine. “He’s really in trouble this time, isn’t he?”
Her voice is tight. I wish I could say he’s not, but we all knew from the start that something more was happening than Tom deciding he needed a vacation. He never would have put Sara back in our orbit if he just needed a time-out.
The only way he would make her stay with us was if there wasn’t any other way to protect her.
“Probably.”
“If he’s in danger, shouldn’t we be doing more to help him? Like maybe contact those Feds?”
I search her eyes. “We don’t have anything to tell them. Maybe Tom worked for the guys Mac and X are after. Maybe he worked for someone that worked with them. I don’t know that I trust Mac gave us the whole story. He gave us what benefits his boss and that’s it.”
Sara sighs. “I think we should pay Beth a visit. Maybe she knows something.”
“Maybe.” I run my hand through her hair. “And by we, that means us, trouble, not you.”
Her eyebrow arches, and I can almost see the wheels spinning as she decides whether to get mouthy about it.
I shake my head. “Go get a shower and get ready for work. We’ll talk later.”
Her eyes stray down my body to my erection in my boxer briefs.
“Not this morning, trouble.” I lift her off me and swat her ass. “Go get ready for work.”
Sara
I shouldn’t have pouted at Wyatt when he kicked me out of his room, but one of the benefits to waking up with a guy under me is supposed to be getting off first thing in the morning.
Instead, I sulk in the shower. It’s been a while since I showered alone. Next time I sleep with Wyatt, I’m unlocking the door so Finn can slip in. Now that’s a good way to wake up.
After I’ve dressed and put on makeup and did my hair, I step out of my bedroom and head to the kitchen where there’s already a pot of coffee. As I pour a cup, arms curl around me from behind. That sinful cologne of Finn’s fills my senses.
“Wyatt’s room is going to be tricky,” Finn murmurs in my ear. “That bastard kept you all to himself last night.”
I lift my cup to my lips and lean back against Finn’s warmth. “He didn’t even take advantage of me.”
