Chapter Twenty

Gage got off the elevator on the promenade deck and walked toward the shops and the restaurants. It was still pretty empty, but it wouldn’t be for long. He tried to figure out where Dani would go but had no idea.

He ran a hand through his hair. God! He needed a shower. He could still smell Dani on his skin. He had grabbed his T-shirt on the way out the door so at least he was covered, but he was looking rough. He tried to fix his hair again. The last thing he needed was to attract more attention. He sighed. His sailing vacation seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

He checked for Dani in the restaurants that were open, but nothing. The shops weren’t open as yet so unless she’d broken in, she wasn’t there.

As he searched, his stomach churned with guilt. He’d crossed a line last night. His only job was to protect her. Sleeping with her muddied the waters and made his job difficult but, damn, he just didn’t care. That woman had burrowed under his skin and he had big plans for a repeat performance of last night’s adventures.

He worked his way to the other end of the ship and then stood in front of a map, trying to figure out where to look next. Jeremy appeared out of nowhere and stood beside Gage. “Can I help you find something, sir?” he asked loudly. Gage turned to look, and Jeremy whispered, “She’s with me. She’s down in my cabin. She said to tell you she’s talking to someone named Janet, asking for help.”

“How did—? Never mind. Did she tell you what happened?”

“Yes. I’m sorry.” Jeremy had guilt written all over his face. “I guess I wasn’t as discrete as I thought. They must have followed me.”

“Don’t worry about it. To be honest, I’m not sure how they found us. They seem to be one step ahead all the time. Not sure it was you that tipped them off.” Gage continued in a low voice. “Besides, we have bigger things to worry about at the moment. Dani hit some old guy on the way out of the cabin so now security is up there checking it out.”

“Oh boy.” Jeremy wiped his forehead with his shirtsleeve.

“Yeah,” Gage grunted. “By now they’ll have found the two unconscious men and a pile of broken furniture. They’ll question the men and probably get nowhere, and then they’ll watch the video of the hallway. They are going to see me and Dani and you coming in and out of that cabin.”

Jeremy blinked and swallowed hard. He pointed to the ice rink on the map. “I think this is what you’re looking for, sir.” He glanced around and then said, “She said to tell you she’ll meet you in the rink and not to worry about the cameras. Apparently, they have been going out all over the ship at random times in random hallways.” He grinned. “She’s good.”

Gage’s shoulders sagged. That’s my girl! He grinned back.
