Chapter Ten

Xandra awoke to murmured voices at the cabin’s front door.

She stretched like a cat against the satiny male body reposing in bed next to her, unfurling every muscle in her body, curling even her toes. Mmm. A man. Her inner thigh reveled in sliding down the slope of his shapely ass.

Her eyes popped open. A man!

The man faced the wall away from her. Grabbing his shoulder, she yanked him toward her. He rolled easily, lost in deep slumber.

Her heart slowed down a little. Oh, good. Nathan. Not only did he not look like the brutal black ops private military contractor he’d told her he was, he looked simply angelic. She wondered who and where his mother was. That she could actually picture him having a mother made her smile.

Oh yeah. Who’s at the door?

Xandra wrenched herself out of bed. It sounded as though Julian talked to a woman, so Xandra stuck her arms into the first oversize garment she could see, which turned out to be Nathan’s windbreaker. It covered her ass, so she strode into the hallway and through the living room.

Her best friend Cass loomed in the doorway, apparently trying to get past Julian. She was so tall her head nearly touched the top doorjamb. Cass took this opportunity to step around Julian and call, “Hey, bestie! Maybe you can tell this fine officer here.” She gestured at Julian with an express mail envelope. “I can’t hand this over to just anyone. It’s addressed to Nathan Horowitz.”

“Yeah,” said Julian tiredly, shutting the door behind Cass with resignation. “Must be the things Nathan told his friend to send.” His brown pants looked wrinkled and slept-in, and he rubbed his hands across his smooth hairless chest as though still half-asleep. Xandra thought she recalled the two men agreeing the night before to take turns sleeping, and obviously it was Nathan’s turn to finally sleep now, so she hesitated to wake him.

Xandra held out her hand to Cass. “I can take it, Cass.”

Cass wiggled her eyebrows at the half-clad Julian, but kept the envelope close to her body. “I don’t think so, Alexandra. The box is checked that says ‘direct signature required.’ I was only allowed to take possession of it because I flirted nicely with the delivery guy.” She raked her eyes meaningfully up and down Xandra’s bedraggled form. “Apparently you’re a much better flirt than I am, though.”

Xandra whipped the flat package from her friend’s hand. “Oh, just give it to me, Cass! These two officers are risking life and limb—and barely getting any sleep—protecting me from that moron that we’re now convinced was sent by my ex.”

Cass gaped. “Slippery Fish?” Of course she had never met Javier, but had heard most of the humorous and pithy anecdotes about him from Xandra during their sunset evenings sipping wine on Xandra’s terrace.

Julian finally woke up enough to guffaw. “Slippery Fish?” He brushed his long brunet hair back from his forehead as he passed the women, apparently returning to the lone bedroom.
