Chapter Seventeen

Elliot stirred the minute Deacon did. The room was dark, not yet dawn, but she could see the greenish glow of the monitor that still showed Sydney tucked safely in her bed. Normally Elliot’s bedroom door remained open during the night; how could she have forgotten to open it last night?

Deacon’s rough hand smoothed down her bare stomach, and Elliot closed her eyes tight. That was how she’d forgotten. Damn man. Not that it had been all his fault. Sex was no excuse for either of them. Yes, Saint would be patrolling the house, Fionn outside, but Elliot never left her charge to chance. Never.

Until now.

Deacon’s palm pressed into her lower belly, right over the spot that had contracted so hard for him last night. The spot that tightened now in anticipation. His body curled around her, a protective curve she’d never felt before. It probably shouldn’t feel as good now as it did, but oh, she wished she didn’t have to move from this spot, from his hold, ever again. All hard muscle from head to toe and soft breath across her shoulder and neck. So very good.

But she couldn’t afford to give in to the pleasure again.

Drawing her resolve around her, she eased the sheet from her bare body. Another mistake. She never slept naked on an op. Being ready at a moment’s notice was a necessity. Not that a naked body would keep her from running into danger—she was more dangerous naked than most people were fully clothed and armed. Still, it wasn’t her first choice.

Deacon’s arm went steel-hard when she started to slide from the bed. “What’s wrong?”

The gruff question sent tingles down her spine, memories washing over her of that rough voice whispering to her last night, telling her what to do, commanding her to come for him again.

“Nothing.” She had to clear the husky tone from her voice before saying, “Just need to get to work.”

“No, you don’t.”

Unfortunately Deacon knew their duty schedules as well as Elliot did. No hiding behind work then.

“I need to go.”

“You mean you need to run.” He pulled her harder against him, against the part of him that was growing harder with every breath she took. “Why do you need to run, Elliot?”

Just scared shitless, that’s all. “I’m not running.”

Deacon’s fingers moved lower, lower, lower. “I think I know why.”

She couldn’t help it; her legs loosened, refusing to stay clamped tight against his seeking touch. And when two thick fingers slid down either side of her clit to discover her already creamy invitation, all she could do was close her eyes and pray he didn’t call her on her lie.

“That’s why you’re running,” he whispered, all husky and male, in her ear. “Because you’re afraid.”

Her spine went rigid. “I’m not scared of anything.”

Deacon laughed, the sound rumbling along her spine. One finger slid deep, teasing her, tempting her. “Then stay here with me for a few more minutes. I can make you feel good, Ell; you know I can.
