Chapter Fourteen
KYLE
She was hiding something from me. I stared at her as she walked into the room. Her steps were slow, like her mind was elsewhere. Maybe it was elsewhere. Maybe it was on one thing entirely. Maybe her thoughts were on Brontie.
Give her a break. Sheâs panickingâ¦you know, like youâre panicking. I walked in behind her, closed the door and headed for the kitchen. âDo you want a shower first or food?â
There was no response, just a slow stride through the living room to the windows that overlooked the city.
âApril?â
âYeah?â
âDo you want food first, or a shower?â
âWhatever.â
The knock came at the door. I walked to the damn thing, yanked it open, ready to snap and then saw it was the porter.
âYour bags, Sir.â
âThe bedroom.â I stepped aside and jerked my head, leaving the guy to wheel the carrier inside without a word.
Thud. The door closed behind me. I followed the guy inside, watching April as she turned from the window, her gaze following the bags as they were wheeled into the bedroom.
âFine.â I muttered, moving to the phone and dialled reception.
âReception, Mr.Blackburn.â
âA shower.â She muttered and strode into the bedroom.
âRoom service.â I murmured. âSteak, medium rare, steamed vegetables, some kind of fruit, something for desert times two.â I glanced as the porter left, and the bedroom door was closed behind him. That nagging concern rose once more. I stared at the closed bedroom door. âOn second thoughts, add something chocolate, decadent, with whipped cream.â
âOf course, Mr. Blackburn. Is there anything else I can assist you with?â
My stomach tightened as I stared at that door. âNo. Have it ready in half an hour.â
âOf course, Sir.â
I hung up the phone and stepped toward the bedroom door, listening to the rushed slide of a zipper.
A zipper?
The only thing that was zipped was my suitcases. What was she doing, going through my stuff? A chill tore through me when I remembered my gun secured against the side. I shoved down the door handle and pushed in, finding her jerking her gaze upward.
I glanced at my open case. âHelp you with something, April?â
She just lifted one of my t-shirts and gave a weak smile. âJust needed something comfortable to wear.â
I stared at the shirt in her hand as she closed the suitcase and straightened, her hands moving to the buttons of her blouse. âThatâs okay, isnât it?â She asked.
I was captured by the sight of those buttons as they widened and exposed the dusty pink bra I bought her. The bra I chose carefullyâ¦for her.
I swallowed hard. âOf course.â
She slid her blouse free and dropped it to the floor before she hooked her fingers into the waistband of her slacks and slid them over her hips. âThen Iâll take that shower.â
I flinched, jerking back to reality with her words and nodded.
She turned then, leaving her clothes in a mess. I was riveted by her, by the sweet curve of her ass as she walked away, disappearing into the bathroom and closed the door. Will you let them hurt me?
Her words haunted me as the hiss of the shower spray started.
