Chapter Fifteen

Tracker’s hand moved up and down Julia’s back in lazy motions, her breath coming in soft puffs against his chest. It was close to sunrise, yet he had no plans to leave for several more hours. Since waking, he’d spent the time watching her, afraid what happened in the last twelve hours was a dream.

They’d made love a second time. This one longer and slower, before falling asleep, then waking with voracious appetites.

After placing an order for pizza, they’d talked about not using a condom. He’d begun to apologize, but her fingers against his mouth stopped him.

“I’m on the pill. So unless you…” Her voice had trailed off, letting him figure out the rest. He explained it had been several months since his last encounter with a woman and he’d been checked not long afterward. “Good, because I don’t want anything between us, Nate.” He knew she meant more than just a condom.

After the pizza arrived, they ate a few slices before making love on her new sofa, which both thought appropriate since they’d done the same to the sofa in her house in Coronado years before.

When they’d made it back to bed, he’d kept her up for hours, exploring every inch of the body he already knew by heart. Sated and spent, both had fallen asleep.

A noise outside had woken him an hour earlier. Grabbing his SIG 9mm, he slipped from the bed, making a full sweep of the house and back yard. Finding nothing, he’d slid back into bed, but hadn’t been able to sleep. Which was fine.

He’d spent the time thinking through what they’d do when Armando arrived, how to muzzle Delphine, and searching for ways to stay occupied instead of waking Julia for another heated round of lovemaking.

Draped across his chest, moonlight framing her, she looked like a goddess. A beautiful, desirable siren…and she belonged to him. At least she would as soon as he could build the courage to ask her. But it wouldn’t be today or this week.

Stroking her hair, he allowed himself to relax enough to enjoy the feel of her naked body against his. He’d dreamed of this, even sent a prayer to the man upstairs, never believing she’d return to his life.

The sound of his phone had him muttering an oath. At least he’d had the good sense to put it on the nightstand when they’d returned to the bedroom. Doing his best not to disturb Julia, he reached over and grabbed it, seeing Wrath’s name.

“Yo,” he whispered.

“Where are you?”

“In bed. Why?”

“Alone?”

Well, hell. He hadn’t planned to share her being back in his life. “No.”

“It had better be Julia.” Wrath’s voice held a hint of amusement, causing Tracker to relax a little.

He looked down at the sleeping form, warmth spreading through him. “Yeah, it’s Jules. Why the call?”

“A heads-up for your ears only. Grayson got word Armando and Diego Quintero flew out of Monterrey an hour ago. The flight plan shows them arriving at Dove Valley Airport at ten o’clock.”

“They’re a day earlier than Jules expects.
