Chapter 10

It was late by the time Michelle got back to her suite. She had grabbed dinner from the cafeteria and returned to the lab to oversee a new experiment some of the staff was conducting. She hadn’t seen Zeke in several hours, so she worried he might have given up and gone back to his suite.

But when she rounded the corner, she found him leaning against her door. In addition, he was holding flowers. “Truce?” he asked as she approached.

She stepped close to him, took a whiff of the flowers, and closed her eyes. “Definitely.”

After opening the door and letting them both in, she took the flowers and headed for the kitchen. She didn’t own a vase, but a glass would work. “How did you manage to get flowers?”

“I had them delivered to the gate. One of the security guards brought them to the bunker.”

“That’s impressive.”

“It was just a phone call.”

She realized he had followed her when his voice sounded close to her ear. Seductive. “It was more than that,” she murmured as she set the flowers in the glass of water.

“Okay, you might be right. I’ve never bought flowers before. It took a few minutes.”

She glanced up at him. “You’ve never bought flowers?”

“Nope. I’m not really a flowers kinda guy.”

“And yet…”

“Yes. But you only get half the blame. I’m sorry too.”

“Accepted. Can we skip to the part where I kiss you again?”

“Please.” She settled her hands on his waist as he leaned in and set his lips on hers. Her entire body relaxed as he claimed her mouth. She hadn’t realized how tense she’d been until then. Weeks of frustration and anxiety related to both work and her awkward relationship with Zeke.

She was still wearing the usual scrubs, which were not attractive on anyone but practical for their work. She wished she had showered and dressed in something more appealing, but there hadn’t been time.

Zeke had damp hair, jeans, and a navy designer T-shirt on. He looked like a man on a date.

She looked like a woman who’d just come from the lab. She leaned back, breaking the kiss, and met his gaze. “Would you mind if I took a shower? I feel gross, and you smell amazing.” She leaned closer and nuzzled his neck, inhaling his scent mixed with whatever soap he’d used.

His hands slid to her waist, and he pulled her closer. “You may if it makes you more comfortable, but don’t feel like you have to on my account.”

“It would make me feel less self-conscious.”

His hands slid to hers. “Go ahead.” He permitted her one of his rare smiles.

“You’ll wait?”

“Of course.”

She blew out a breath. “Thanks.” After ducking under his arm, she hurried through to her bedroom and into the bathroom. The hotel setup of
