Chapter Ten

As he stood in the shower, he wondered once again how the hell he had gotten here. His plan had been to come down to the islands for a few days and keep an eye on Lacy. See if she was a corporate spy.

He’d blown it so badly his brothers were going to have his ass. Sleeping with the target was not something a good operative did. Not that he was an operative. Still, even he knew it was a huge mistake. One that he would make again and again at every opportunity. He had it bad for Lacy Carmichael, and he wasn’t about to give up the chance to be with her again.

He grabbed the soap and started washing his chest. How was he going to find out if she was involved in the Drake mess now? It wasn’t like he could ask her. He could well imagine how that would go. He’d seen her blow up before, and it wasn’t pretty. The lawyer who had set her off was mince-meat by the end of her tirade.

Just thinking about her brought a smile to his lips. He loved the way her skin felt, the way she responded to him, and the way she moaned his name. She had gotten under his skin with her beautiful green eyes and her cute smile, her amazing ass and her wickedly smart brain. She was great under pressure, a quick thinker, and a dreamer—just like he was beneath it all. Yes, Lacy Carmichael was the whole package. And now he had to find out if she was part of a deadly conspiracy. Shit. There had to be a way to do it without losing her trust.

As he got out of the shower, he caught sight of his bruises in the mirror. What the hell was he thinking? He had let his dick rule his brain. She’s an assignment, remember, jack ass? He had been kidnapped, beaten, and was currently being hunted because of her. He’d forgotten all about Scar and the gang. She’d truly addled his brain. One problem at a time, he told himself as he toweled off.

Yawning, he padded into the bedroom and eyed the bed. Those few hours of sleep he had gotten earlier just hadn’t stretched far enough. He was tempted to crawl into it now, but there was no way he could let Lacy go anywhere by herself.

As soon as he was ready, he went and poured himself some coffee. Ten minutes later, Lacy entered the living room showered and dressed to go out. He had been sitting on the couch, but he got up and poured her a cup of coffee. She took it with a grateful look.

“Would you like a lift into town?” he asked politely.

Startled, she lifted her eyebrows.

He explained. “I had my brother wire me money. It’s waiting for me in town. I thought you might like a lift since I’m going that way anyway.” He mentally crossed his fingers that it wouldn’t click with her that it took longer than a day to get money wired.
