CHAPTER ELEVEN

The sun crept its way beneath the heavy bedroom curtains, a thin line of light in an otherwise dark room. The slow drone of the air-conditioning as it clicked on and off was monotonous but necessary. It was warm despite the cool air coming through the vents.

Amy was pressed up against him, her thigh over his leg, her head on his chest, that blonde hair obscuring her face. At least twice during the night, he’d attempted to brush it from her face, but it had stayed put all of ten minutes before it ended up back the same way. It had made him smile, made him wonder if she was simply so used to it being there that she didn’t even notice.

Cabe ran his fingertip gently down Amy’s arm, careful not to wake her. Sleep was the one thing she needed more than him right now, no matter how much his dick protested the idea. When he’d followed her home after dealing with Woods, it had purely been out of concern for her safety. And when he’d seen the marks on her body, he’d been furious, wishing he’d taken more extreme action. A switch had been flipped inside him as he’d taken care of her, and he’d been unable to stop himself from acting on his feelings. But he couldn’t put his finger on the exact moment it had happened. Maybe it had been as simple as the moment she’d appeared at the door in those damn pajamas. He was only human after all.

But a hot woman in cute shorts wasn’t enough to override his self-control. After all, women often walked around San Dog in not much more than that, and he certainly wasn’t thinking about jumping all over them. It was the woman inside the outfit who had him standing at attention.

Perhaps it was the moment she’d reminded him of his operational priorities when he’d attempted to put her first.

Perhaps it was the moment silence and comfort had filled him when she’d stood in his arms.

Now that they’d slept together, he couldn’t imagine it having played out any other way. He knew he should probably leave. They were going to have to be careful with their interactions at the casino or write their fledgling relationship into the script. Flirting with Amy at the casino would take very little effort on his part because it would require zero acting. And they needed to make a call before the meeting they were both supposed to attend later that morning.

As carefully as his large body would let him, he disentangled their limbs, grabbed his jeans, and wandered into the hallway, where he slipped them on but didn’t bother zipping them up. First, he’d make them breakfast, and then he was going to seduce her one more time before he left. He poked his head in the fridge and noticed the fixings for omelets and toast—easy enough to make. He began the search for a bowl and pan in which to whisk and cook the eggs and a cutting board to chop the veggies on.
