Chapter Seven

“What the hell is going on here?”

Standing in the doorway, arms crossed, intensity and authority rolling off him in waves was Cheyenne’s husband. The look Quinlan O’Connor swept across the room was commanding, in control, and in full dom protective mode. Cheyenne shivered as she looked at her husband, tall, lean, strong and wondered who in their right mind would ever challenge him, especially standing there in full policeman garb. She realized once again that her husband was a big man in every way conceivable.

Nevertheless, that same man standing in front of her, with virility rolling off him, and making eye contact with his wife had an obvious gentleness about him. Also obvious to those who knew him well, was Quinn’s body language that showed he was on complete and full alert. With Cheyenne however, his eyes communicated his love and concern. That he had an ache to have her in his arms as he gazed on her vulnerability. She knew that look, that longing to know that she was safe.

Ever since he had gotten the alert from his brother that said his house had been broken into he was afraid for Cheyenne. His wannabe tough as nails woman was cotton candy inside and only a few knew that about her. She held her own in almost any situation, but she would seek him with her eyes when she was at the end of her endurance. He never wanted to be unavailable when she reached that point.

He was finishing his shift when a domestic call came in making him late leaving the station. When he received confirmation from home and dispatch about the break-in, he put things in high gear, finishing only the most basic of information for the report to be finished tomorrow. His ghra needed him now.

Standing in the door, he searched the room for his wife. Finding her, he stared, his eyes sweeping her body to see she was physically safe. Then, he made eye contact again. Raising his chin slightly, he shifted his head to the left and slightly back in a come-hither type of gesture with only a modicum of movement. It resulted in a very subdued chin raise not unlike a typical male greeting. His eyes that he never took off her beckoned her.

He and Cheyenne had played long enough to be able to interpret small movements from each other, especially when they were intent. With that one movement, he had inquired as to her welfare and offered comfort. While still looking in her eyes, he simply lifted and opened his left arm slightly in an invitation to her. It was all Cheyenne needed. She flew the three feet into his arms and held on tightly while Quinn’s right arm drew her into him. He then moved his arm up to put his hand on the back of her head holding her to him while he kissed her temple and then down to her ear.

He whispered in her ear with confidence, “Piscín let me take care of what I need to do here and then I’ll take care of your needs.
