CHAPTER 20

The next morning, I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Ethan's face. I felt a shock to my system and then realized that he was three feet away in his own bed, still asleep. I remembered where we were and why we were there, and turned onto my back to rub a hand over my face. I checked my wrist watch and noted that we only had an hour before check out time.

I rolled out of bed and shuffled over to Ethan. He was on half on his back and half on his side, still shirtless. I took a moment to memorize the vision of him asleep like that, and then snapped out of it because I felt like a creep. I leaned down and slid my palm over his chest. I straightened as he blinked a few times. He took a deep breath that morphed into a yawn, which in turn made me yawn.

We left the hotel and grabbed some lunch at another local eatery. We wasted a few hours driving through towns, searching for a suitable place to hit the jackpot. We rolled into the upscale part of a town, and I told Ethan to pull into the parking lot of a country club. I hopped off the back of the bike and Ethan didn't move to stand, but he did look at me as I stood beside of him and ran my fingers through my hair to untangle my braid.

"You sure about this?" he asked.

He was still sitting, so his face was an inch lower than mine. I released him and his lips parted a little as I leaned toward him to use his reflective aviator glasses as a mirror to put my lipstick on. I lifted my chin up to find the right angle, which meant my lips were pretty much all he could see.

He cleared his throat and said, "You don't need lipstick. What are you doing?"

I checked for smudges and leaned away again. "Standing out."

I exchanged the lipstick for eyeliner and leaned into him again, so our eyes were inches apart, though separated by his glasses.

I could feel him breathing on me as he said, "Babe, somebody sees you doing this, they'll assume we're a couple. Then again, you're not going in there alone, so maybe we should be a couple."

I finished with my eyes and raised an eyebrow. "You think I can't take care of myself?" I asked indignantly.

"I think you take care of yourself a little too well. I'm concerned for the civilians," he deadpanned. I felt his hand grip my hip and I swallowed nervously. It
