Chapter 9

When Sophia opened her eyes again, the pillow beside her was empty, and sun shone through an open window. Sophia stretched, feeling deliciously sore in all the right places.

Blade strode through the door. “Hey, lazy head, get up. Our excursion leaves in fifteen minutes.”

She pulled the sheet up to cover her breasts and sat up straight. “Excursion? What excursion? I thought we couldn’t go anywhere.”

“I made a last-minute reservation on a trip out to Chichen Itza. If we play our cards right, we can dodge whatever cartel spies are hanging out looking for us, but we have to get moving.”

Sophia tossed the sheet aside. “Wouldn’t you rather stay here?” she asked with a grin.

His eyes smoldered. “Don’t tempt me, woman.”

“Tempt you?” she grinned. “Is that all it is?”

“More than you know. So, get up, get dressed and let’s go.”

She pouted. “I was just getting used to the idea of staying in all day.”

“We have ruins to climb and lessons to learn about the Mayan people. Get moving.” He clapped his hands twice.

Sophia swung her legs over the side of the bed, stood and pranced past Blade wearing nothing but a smile. “Your loss.”

He groaned. “And don’t I know it.”

She dressed in shorts, running shoes and a tank top. She’d brushed her teeth and pulled her hair up into a messy bun, plunking a hat on top to cover all her hair. She hid her eyes with a pair of sunglasses and looked up at Blade. “Will this do?” she asked.

“Great disguise, but if you’ve got a lightweight jacket to cover your arms, that would be good too.”

“I’ll be right back.” She ducked into her bedroom and pulled out a light windbreaker and slipped it over her shoulders. When she returned, she found Blade wearing a polo shirt, khaki slacks, hiking boots, a Cancún baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses.

She hated the thought of him hiding his sleek black hair and gorgeous blue eyes, but better to disguise and get out without being detected than having a tail on them all day.

Rather than follow the path up to the hotel, they slipped around behind the bungalows and took a maintenance road leading to the hotel. They arrived just in time to catch the bus that would them out to Chichen Itza. Blade and Sophia climbed aboard the large bus with other tourists, taking a seat near the rear.

“Did you see our bouncers from last night?” she whispered.

“I thought I saw one standing beside the resort’s front door.” He nodded toward the man. “I don’t think he saw us.”

Sophia grinned. “Good. Maybe we’ll have a nice day after all.”

“I hope so,” he said. “I hate to think we might be pushing our luck.”

As the bus traveled the road out to Chichen Itza, Sophia and Blade took every opportunity and curve to look behind them to see if they were being followed. As far as they could tell, they weren’t.

Eventually, Sophia relaxed against her seat.

Blade reached for her hand and took it in his.
