Scarecrow disconnected the call aware that Wicked wasn’t talking about what was really bothering him. He was convinced that Kat Harrington was a great source of distress for him but getting anything out of Wicked was like getting blood from a stone.

Okay, he was legitimately troubled about Scarecrow leaving the SEALs and joining the CIA. Again, he wondered if it would be the right job for him.

His biggest concern was his mom. Could he even consider something that would keep him traveling?

He opened the door and went back into the house, making his way silently to Scarlett’s feminine and amazing scented bedroom. God, he loved the way she smelled. It got under his skin and deep into his lungs.

Ever since he’d met her at the airport he hadn’t been able to get her out of his head, and, in fact, had spent the time since dissecting Scarlett’s dual personalities—the shameless, brazen spitfire and the uncertain, vulnerable woman he’d glimpsed in her unguarded drunken dance party for one.

He’d made a career of analyzing people and their actions. After spending too many hours reflecting on Scarlett’s behavior he’d come to the conclusion that there was so much more to her than he’d originally assumed and what she obviously wanted him, and everyone else, to believe—because he’d been privy to the emotional depth she tried to hide beneath her seductive attitude and brazen personality. A vulnerability he never thought her capable of showing because of the strong, rebellious façade she wore around her like an impenetrable cloak.

It was all an act, he’d come to realize, and a damn good one at that because he’d fallen for it—hook, line, and sinker. And obviously, so had everyone else, his cousin included. They all accepted her as Scarlett, and her reckless and outrageous conduct had become an expected thing.

But there was one question that kept tumbling through Scarecrow’s mind, one he didn’t have an answer for but that had kept him up some nights trying to figure it out. Who was the real Scarlett and what kind of emotional secrets were lurking behind that seductive smile and those smart-ass remarks she tossed his way to keep him at a distance?

And why the hell did he even care?

He slid into bed with her and without waking she instinctively moved toward him and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close.

He fell asleep with her soft body against him and half-awake aware he’d been sleeping for a while, he rolled over. He got his nose full of Scarlett’s fragrant hair. Last night they had both been unable to talk, so there had been no discussion. He was determined there would be one this morning.

“Darlin’?” He kissed her neck and she stirred. “Time for that talk.”

She mumbled something and nestled her backside against his morning wood. He closed his eyes, trying to hold onto his control. “C’mon, sugar. Wake up.”

She rolled over and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then, when he thought she was going to say something, she made a soft snore.
