Chapter Fifteen

Watching Trevor dress was almost as much of a turn-on as watching him undress. Cynthia sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed, a fluffy white hotel bathrobe wrapped around her body. Her wet hair draped across one shoulder while she worked a brush through each tangled strand.

He donned formfitting briefs and tugged dark jeans up his legs. “I have to go out alone this morning.”

Cynthia nodded mutely.

“Do not leave this room, Cyn.” He tied the laces of his short boots with quick, efficient motions. Then he pulled a navy blue turtleneck sweater over his head. It messed up his hair, she wanted to drag her fingers through the thick, glossy mass. “You don’t leave for any reason,” he continued, “unless the hotel is burning down. Can I trust you with that?”

“Yes. But why can’t I go with you?”

He slid his gun harness over his broad shoulders and attached the other to his lower leg. He reached for his guns, flipped each weapon’s chamber open, peered into it, snapped it shut and slid it into place. His movements were confident and smooth. Gone was the fierce yet tender lover who’d shared her bed and shower. He’d transformed back into the dark and dangerous man from Interpol, determined to find his quarry no matter what or who stood in his way.

“You need to stay here because I’m meeting with someone who might have some information about Andrews’ whereabouts. But he doesn’t know I’m coming and he’s not going to be happy to see me. I can’t risk having you there. Stay here.”

He reached for his leather jacket and shrugged into it, effectively hiding his weapon. Then he opened his wallet and pulled out a card. “Here’s my cell phone number. Stay in this room. Promise me you’ll do as I say?”

“Okay, I promise.” She pouted, reaching for the card. “Geez, I feel like a kid who’s been grounded and I haven’t even done anything to deserve it.”

Trevor stepped closer to the bed. “Come here.”

Cynthia crawled over to the edge and kneeled in front of him. He ran his hand down her wet hair and tipped her face up with his finger. “Don’t make me worry about your safety while I’m gone, Cyn.”

She started to say she’d promised not to leave but the words died on her lips. He smelled of soap and that pure, sexy male essence that was uniquely his. He pulled her up by the shoulders and brushed the lightest kiss across her mouth. She let the tip of her tongue touch his upper lip. He went from gentle to demanding in the flash of a heartbeat. He crushed his mouth down on hers. She quivered under the onslaught of his kiss and savored the full thrust of his tongue into her mouth, the exquisite pressure of his lips against hers. Just when she was beginning to melt into a puddle on the bed, he released her, leaving her gasping for air.

“Dammit, Trevor, that wasn’t fair.”

“I know. It’s a reminder there’s more where that came from, and if you want it, you’ll stay put.
