Chapter Six

Danni…

I’d given Reese a few sponge baths in the past week, so I’d seen every inch of his gorgeous, muscled body. I’d touched his intimate parts with professionalism, keeping my mind on the task instead how well endowed he was. How hard his muscles were beneath my palms. How he’d always gotten half-hard when I bathed him.

But having his wet, naked body pressed against me was completely different, more intimate. It had taken great willpower to pull away when the only thing I’d wanted to do was fall onto the bed and let him ravish me.

I clutched the spatula in my hands as I stared at the pancakes in the frying pan, but all I could see was Reese’s honed body, think of how his lips had tasted, and remember how he’d moaned into my mouth as he’d backed me toward the bed.

I fanned my face. It was becoming increasingly harder to resist him, especially when he kissed like a dream and had the body of a god. The way his strength—even in his weakened state—felt wrapped around me. The way his facial hair scraped along my skin, leaving it tingling for more.

Once I plated the pancakes, I grabbed my phone off the counter. Surprised that I had reception, I hesitated calling Max. Nothing had happened last night. No invasion like Reese had anticipated.

There was still the question of where Alfonso had disappeared to. I dialed him, instead. My call went straight to voice mail. That was when I realized, a threat of danger or not, Max needed to know what was going on.

He answered on the second ring, and I told him about last night—about Alfonso disappearing, no cell phone reception, and how Reese thought trouble might be brewing. I even told him how I’d tried to call him shortly after he and his friends had left but couldn’t get ahold of him.

“The apartment is locked up tight?”

“Yes.” I nodded even though Max couldn’t see me.

“It’ll take me a minute to get through traffic because of the storm, but I’m on my way. I’ll have Gabe and Lucas with me. We’ll figure this out.”

I nearly sagged with relief and was thankful Reese had such good, caring friends. I was also glad to learn the other guys’ names. “Thank you.”

“There’s no need to thank me, Danni. I should be thanking you. I’ll be there soon.”

Max didn’t have to thank me for doing my job. Since leaving the hospital, I hadn’t done anything stupidly heroic. I hadn’t confronted another gunman or saved a cat from a burning house or flown into the sky with a cape flapping behind me.

I’d just made sure Reese was bathed, had taken his meds, and cooked for him. No big deal. Plus, Max had paid me handsomely to do all that, though I thought the amount a bit excessive, but I wasn’t going to turn it down.

I called to check on my mom. Nurse Lisa said she was doing a lot better but was resting, so I told her to tell my mom to call me later.
