Chapter Nine

As a precaution to make sure Trinity didn’t try another escape attempt under cover of darkness, Brody had camped out on the couch all night. Sixteen hours later, his leg still hurt like a bitch.

He was on the floor doing his stretches when her light footfalls came down the stairs. She paused at the bottom, looking fresh after her shower. “Sore?” she asked.

“A little.” He sat up, grimacing a bit as his stiff muscles pulled. “It’s just us here again.” His dad was in town getting some supplies and Wyatt was at a VA appointment in the D.C. area. Brody had told them he’d be taking Trinity back to D.C. at some point today. “You ready to go?”

“Yeah, but keep stretching. I’ll put on some coffee.” She headed into the kitchen.

Brody resumed his stretches and watched her as she worked. She was moving more fluidly today and the swelling in her face had gone way down. He couldn’t help but admire her shapely curves while she stood with her back to him at the counter.

When she lifted on tiptoe to reach into one of the cupboards and turned slightly, the hem of her borrowed sweater rode up, exposing the creamy expanse of her stomach. He’d lain awake for a good hour last night after coming back into the house, thinking of what she’d told him about her past.

It enraged him to think that a government agency would stand by and allow the sort of abuse Trinity had suffered. He ached to think of her enduring that, would give anything for the chance to replace that horrific memory with a good one.

The rich scent of brewing coffee drew him out of his thoughts. He pushed to his feet and headed over to her.

She glanced at him, those deep blue eyes pulling him in. “You take a bit of cream, right?”

“Yeah.” He wasn’t surprised she remembered that from yesterday. Operators watched their surroundings carefully and noticed details.

She added some cream to his coffee and offered him the mug. He made sure his fingers lingered on hers at the transfer, was rewarded by a delicate pink blush that stole into her cheeks.

“Thanks,” he murmured, glad that she was as affected by their chemistry as he was. She’d already booked a flight to London in the morning using an alias and a credit card belonging to that persona she’d memorized the number of.

If he had his way, she’d be spending her last night in the States naked in his bed at his place near Quantico. He wasn’t ready to let her go yet. There was something special brewing between them and he wanted to see where it led.

He joined her at the table, leaned back in his chair. “So, anything else you want to go over?” They’d already planned things out this morning. Well, she’d planned things. He’d been careful to let her run the show so she wouldn’t pull back from him, and he hadn’t had any objections to anything she’d said, so he’d kept quiet.
