CHAPTER TEN
Sarah headed for the bathroom, skimming off her top and turning the water on blasting hot, though the way her thoughts kept drifting back to Ranger, she'd probably be better off with ice cold water. She wondered if he was awake or still sleeping, but had been too much of a coward to peek into the living room.
When they'd gotten back to her hotel room after leaving Gator's place, they'd found the room trashed. Everything she'd brought with her was tossed around the space, scattered across the bed and floor. Her suitcase had been emptied onto the bed, her possessions rifled through with wanton disregard. She'd felt violated, but more—she'd felt scared.
Ranger insisted she stay with him, even though she'd suggested getting another room in a different hotel. Though it had only been a halfhearted offer, because the thought of staying with him made her feel safe. There were also other feelings stirred up, but she pushed them down, refusing to acknowledge that she wanted to be around him for reasons other than searching for her sister.
Once they'd packed her stuff and headed back to his apartment, she'd still felt dirty, and asked if she could take a shower. He'd agreed, saying he'd catch some quick shut-eye before they left to meet Remy, to talk with Walter.
A quick test of the temperature showed it was perfect, and she stepped under the spray, letting the pounding water wake her. Tilting her head back, she felt the warm water caress her skin. Though the bathroom wasn't high end with all the bells and whistles, it held a shower tub combo that was big enough she could imagine Ranger pushing aside the shower curtain and stepping in, pressing up against her. Could almost feel his hands—
A sound outside the shower caused her head to whip around, and she yanked back the edge of the shower curtain, searching for its source. She let out a surprised squeak at the sight of a half-awake Ranger standing in the open doorway, wearing only a pair of jeans, the top button undone and looking like sex walking. His eyes raked over her, and though he didn't move any closer, there was an unmistakable heat in his gaze that couldn't be ignored. Not with his eyes devouring every inch of her exposed skin.
Instinctively, she cupped her hands over her exposed pink bits though they were hidden behind the curtain. At his amused grin, she spun around and continued washing, rubbing the soapy cloth over her shoulders and down her arms, coating her skin with bubbles. A muffled curse sounded from the other side of the shower curtain. She figured ignoring him was her best course of action. Maybe if she didn't respond, he'd go away.
"You're certainly a pretty sight to wake up to." His husky voice slid over her, eliciting an involuntary shiver despite the heat of the pounding water bombarding her. Peeking around the opening in the curtain, she spotted him propped against the door frame,
