CHAPTER FIVE

“Wait a minute…”

It was impossible to tell what time of day it was in the cabin, but the chill in the air suggested it was morning. Her question startled her bed partner. Mercer jerked awake, rolling off the side of the bed before he was completely sure what was happening. He looked around the room, cocking his head to the side as he listened. The pistol was back in his hand, his finger over the trigger.

“I just thought of something,” Zoe said.

Mercer rubbed a hand down his face before putting his gun back on the bedside table with a grunt. “You might consider giving me a little warning before you start in on me, Zoe.”

She shrugged. “I’m a morning person.”

He shot her an ominous look. She shrugged again in response.

“That intel you keep talking about, does it include the location where my brother and dad are at the moment?”

“I can’t tell you that, Zoe.” Mercer sat back down and punched the pillows up before laying his head back.

“Okay, but you know. So ask yourself this. If the intel includes their current location, wouldn’t that be mega stupid? I mean, money isn’t much good to a dead man. And if any of your teammates makes even the slightest reference to me not caring if my family comes home alive … there will be violence.”

Mercer contemplated her for a long moment. It was a tad too long because it gave her time to realize he was wearing nothing but skin.

Oh man, did he look good in it, too.

He caught her watching him. His eyes narrowed in a purely sexual way, transforming his face into something sensual. “We need to have more sex.”

Her mouth went dry. “Ah … why?”

He rolled onto his side and settled his elbow against the mattress so he could prop his head into his hand. “Because your thinking clears up when the sexual tension is relieved.”

She swung a pillow at him, hitting him square in the face with a soft sound. She enjoyed a split second of satisfaction before Mercer surged toward her and pinned her to the bed. He was hot and hard and too damn strong. He settled just enough of his weight on her to keep her beneath him as he stretched her arms out above her head while holding her wrists.

“That was a sucky thing to say,” she informed him.

He only looked mildly amused by her complaint.

“I’m not a piece of ass,” she insisted.

He leaned down and pressed a kiss against her mouth. She turned her head away with a hiss, trying to dredge up some determination to resist him. Or—more to the point—his effect on her.

“You’re a great piece of ass, Zoe.”

She snapped her attention back to him, shooting him a killing glare.

“You’re sexy, baby.” His voice had roughened. Maybe his words were less than smooth, but something about his tone hinted at emotional involvement.

“Confident,” he continued.

“Get off me, Mercer.”

He slowly shook his head. “You like me right … here.” He rubbed his
