Chapter 8

Protectively Deceptive

Once my shower was over and had I washed away all the shame and embarrassment of tripping over my tongue, I exited the bathroom and saw Sean was no longer looking tasty on my bed. Though I was relieved to be able to dress alone I had to admit I was a little sad he wasn’t waiting for me. Tucking the towel in above my breasts, I put my luggage on the bed and opened the cases to find what I needed.

Never sure how much to pack when I traveled, I tended to err on the side of more and ended up with three full bags of clothes, shoes, and whatever else I thought I would need. After digging in the third one I decided the routine would get old every morning, no matter how long I stayed—it was irritating on the first go round—so I utilized the closet and the large cream toned wood dresser in the room, figuring Sean wouldn’t mind me bunking in his house. After all, doing so would make his job of watching over me that much easier. At least, that was the excuse I kept giving myself as I filled the drawers and hangers with my things.

Dressing while I put away my stuff, I ended in skinny jeans and a long dusty-hued brown sweatshirt. Popping my thumbs through the provided holes in the shirt, I pulled my hair into a loose pony tail before leaving the room. The door at the end of the hall, the one that led to the large master, was open and the light was off telling me Sean was not there.

Heading left I found him sitting in a tawny colored chair reading a National Geographic. His styled hair said he had showered as well before putting on a snug ash colored v-neck t-shirt and dark loose fitting jeans. He looked away from the magazine and to me as I entered the room and a gentle smile alighted his lips.

“Will you be warm enough in that?” He set the periodical on the substantial walnut coffee table.

“Sure.” I shrugged. “We aren’t going anywhere so I’ll be plenty warm.”

A small laugh left him as I took the chair on the other side of the table. “So what’s your plan than?”

His question interrupted my curiosity over the rigid nature of the chair. It was as though the thing was brand new and never sat on. My brows pursed as I looked at him. “I don’t have a plan. You’re the one who brought me here.”

“But you said we weren’t going anywhere, so I figured you had some plans for the day I was unaware of.” His smile looked teasing but I hadn’t seen him in a teasing mood yet so I couldn’t tell for sure.

Opting to ignore the little glimmer in his eye—not like the one Korbin would get, which was annoying—I sighed and slouched back in the chair. Bringing my feet up, I crossed them and sat Indian style before shimmying in the seat.
