Risto scanned the crowds as he and Callie ate their food. The guerilla soldiers were only mildly interested in the two of them. So far, his idea to stop and give Callie some rest from the debilitating tension and fear of the last couple of days was a good one. She looked more relaxed already. Her skin was still too pale under her tan and she hadn’t been drinking enough. They’d stay here long enough so she could replenish the majority of her body fluids. With the potential of another night camping in the rainforest, she’d need to be as equilibrated as possible. Teo’s assurances that no one had been asking after a tall, blonde norteamericana woman had taken a lot of the pressure off. Cruz was most likely looking in all the wrong places. He smiled as he imagined the man and his minions scurrying to chase them down in the main cities and toward the Ecuadoran border, the safest crossing out of the country other than by plane. By the time Cruz figured out he’d taken Callie out by the more dangerous route, she’d be in Chicago and he’d be on his next assignment for SSI.

Risto laughed silently. Cruz would be beside himself losing Callie—the embarrassment alone should turn his attention to easier female prey.

“I’m done.” Callie pulled a wet wipe from her seemingly bottomless tote. “You said I could get a shower some place?”

“Yeah, the hotel has public showers. Just like the rooms, they rent by the hour.” He stood up and collected their trash.

“That sounds wonderful. I still feel that snake all over me.” Callie followed him to the trash receptacles.

Risto noted that while she stayed close enough to touch him, she stayed away from his gun arm and was highly alert. He smiled. She was sharp and had good instincts. Like Ren’s wife Keely, Callie could more than handle herself when needed. So what if she couldn’t street fight as Keely did, she hadn’t hesitated to shoot to kill the mercs at Conn’s house, and her response to the anaconda despite her intense aversion was more than many soldiers could’ve done. He’d seen hardened warriors turn pale and puke at the thought of touching a snake that large.

“Let’s go, sweetheart.” He took hold of her arm and kept her close. He led her through the crowds in a slow, but steady pace so as not to call any more attention to them than was necessary. He nodded to a local man he knew from a previous trip, a farmer he’d helped escape from a drug smuggler who wanted to use the man’s small holding for drug storage. The man nodded in return.

He guided her through the dark, open doorway of the hotel. The place was clean, but basic. He wouldn’t trust the cleanliness of the beds for Callie and had been teasing about renting one for an hour. He’d seen the flash of arousal in Callie’s eyes and his cock had hardened at the idea of some afternoon delight.
