Chapter 9- Shane

April is terrified and with good reason. This isn’t her world; she’s never had preparation for anything like this. I could tell how scared she was, back in our hotel room but she listened to me with surprising ease. I could see her calm down, those icy eyes slowly becoming clearer until she was following my instructions.

When I told her to change, I could have looked away—but I didn’t. I told myself that it was for her protection, in case the sniper got a better angle. The whole time we were on the floor, that red dot roamed the wall behind us, and I was just waiting for it to lock onto April’s forehead again. Thank God it never did.

As we walk quickly down the hallway and into the main, I capture April’s hand in mine. I notice the same thing now that I did at the bar last night: Her hands are deceptively strong, evidence of her craft. Similar to the woman herself. She was scared, but she did what she needed to despite that.

I’m finding that I have great respect for my wife of less than twenty-four hours. And maybe I’m feeling something more than respect. She’s absolutely beautiful and if we would’ve been on the floor, her mostly naked, for any reason other than hiding from an assassin, I would’ve been kissing the living daylights out of her.

As it is, I’m very aware of her presence as she stands pressed against me in the elevator. We should probably be taking the stairs, but they’re on the same side of the building as the shooter was and I don’t know if there are any windows between the floors. Besides, we’re on the twenty-eighth floor and I don’t expect April to jog down all those flights of stairs in sandals, a sundress, and literally nothing else.

Damn. I was trying really hard not to think about the fact that she isn’t wearing anything under that lightweight pink cotton.

Without warning, April drops my hand. I expect her to say something, but she doesn’t. Out of the corner of my eye, I see that she’s braiding her damp hair with shaking fingers. She ties the end off and takes my hand in hers again. Subconsciously, I rub my thumb over her wedding band. Just like mine, it’s a perfect fit.

The elevator lets us out at the lobby, and all that’s waiting for us is a mildly hung-over couple in their fifties. They nod and offer a smile as we exit the elevator and they get on. I lead April at a casual yet quick walk to the front doors and we slip out.

We make it to the sidewalk that leads to the parking lot without any issues, so I stop April in the shadow of the building to discuss what our next move is. “The parking lot is wide open. Our problem is, that sniper has had time to relocate—they’ll be expecting us to leave the hotel. We need to get out of here fast.
