Chapter Eleven

I woke to the sounds of soft but insistent music. The same few bars played over and over again, demanding attention. I fought the urge to open my eyes and search for the source. At least if someone was going to have the audacity to turn the radio on this early in the morning, they could bring me coffee.

The bed shifted and Matt groaned. That penetrated the last layers of sleep. I rolled over and opened my eyes. A slight smile touched my lips. I’ll admit, part of the reason why was because the music had stopped. Maybe I’d dreamed it. I didn’t care as long as it ended. But the main reason I smiled was because I was exactly where I wanted to be. This man at my side was everything Michael Jennings was not. I might have known Matt only a few days, but I was sure of it.

Leaning up on my elbow, I looked down at Matt. He’d risked so much rescuing me from the trackers that fateful day. He’d saved my life then. I knew it just as I knew I’d never be able to fully repay him, not that he’d ever expect me to. I’d start now, by making sure he got some much needed rest.

I had a split-second warning that the music was about to start again when the display of his cell phone lit up. Cursing, I reached across him, hoping to grab the phone from where it rested on the bedside table before it woke him. Of course, being that close to him, temptation rose. As my left hand closed around the phone, I leaned down and lightly brushed my lips against his. Then, I lifted the cell phone to my ear.

“Hello?” Voice soft, an eye on Matt, I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed. My hope that he hadn’t been disturbed disappeared when he groaned and then opened one eye. A slight smile touched his lips and he reached out to pull me back down beside him.

Who? he mouthed. I shrugged.

“It’s me, Finn. Is Matt there?”

Danny, I mouthed in return and set the cell phone for speakerphone. “He’s here, Danny. I have the call on speaker.”

“Good.”

My heart beat a bit faster to hear the relief in his voice. Something was wrong. It had to be. Why else call at five thirty in the morning? God, don’t let him be about to tell us the trackers had managed to get away. I didn’t want to run again but I would if it meant keeping Matt and the others safe. I’d have to if the trackers had managed to slip through our trap.

Matt’s hand closed around mine and squeezed. It wasn’t much but it was enough to let me know he realized I was scared and he wanted to reassure me. That didn’t help, not much at any rate. It simply reminded me that I’d been nothing but trouble for him since he’d rescued me in that parking garage.
