Chapter Fifteen

Charlotte smiled in the dim light of her bedroom, listening to Keegan humming from her shower. He was alive.

She kept replaying that moment when the robed man lifted his gun to shoot Keegan. There had been a jolt, like a hot poker of pure rage had branded her spirit; that heat generated power; and she’d focused it on the nearest weapon.

It all happened so fast.

But it saved him.

The bathroom door opened, startling her from her thoughts. Keegan filled the doorway, a towel wrapped low on his hips. He held up his bloodied pants. “I’ll be needing a new pair.”

A smile snuck up on her. “You were shot tonight, and you’re worried about your jeans?”

“My favorite pair. The bastards.” He tossed them aside. “I’ll be all right, lass.”

She sat up, beckoning him closer. “How’s your leg?”

“It’s still tender, but I can bend it.” He demonstrated, and she cringed.

“The bullet went right through your knee.”

He nodded, replacing his foot on the ground. “Yeah, and I’m out of practice with pain, but I’m upright, and I have a lead on the Grail.”

He sat on the edge of the bed, treating her to a view of his toned back. Alive. They were both here. The imminent danger was over.

And in spite of her horrific and terrifying evening, heat smoldered low in her belly. She ran her hand up his back until his eyes met hers. She tried to read his expression; desire was definitely there, but also reluctance.

She swallowed the lump in her throat and whispered, “I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but tonight…I just want to be a woman in your arms.”

He brought a rough hand up to caress her cheek, the bravado gone from his voice. “You are so damn beautiful, Char.” He leaned in, his lips brushing hers tenderly at first, his fingers tangling in the back of her hair. “One more night of you naked in my arms, and I may never be able to let you go.”

“Then don’t.”

His tongue pushed past her lips as he groaned into the kiss, pressing her back onto the bed. His hands were eager, desperate to remove the barrier between them. She helped him slide her pants and underwear free, parting her legs and welcoming the closeness of his body as he settled over her. His feverish kisses trailed down her neck, his breath hot against her skin. “I need you.”

“Yes,” she gasped as he took her nipple into his mouth, her back arching.

His hand slid down her side to her hip and finally between them, his fingertips dipping inside her. Her hips writhed into his touch, begging for release.

She couldn’t get close enough to him.

He wrapped his other arm around her and rolled them over so she was on top. “Don’t want my knee to interrupt us.”

She ran her hand up his chest. “I’ll be gentle.”

His crooked smile made her heart pound in answer. She’d never known a sexier man. Pirate or otherwise. She stared down into his eyes as she lowered herself until the tip of his erection teased her opening.
