THIRTEEN

Kadie didn’t know how he had swung it, she didn’t even know why he had bothered, but she found herself being escorted to the suite that Tuck was apparently in. When they reached the wide double doors, the guard knocked and opened the door, stopping just short of shoving her inside.

The room was dominated by the huge four poster bed on the facing wall. A long desk stood under the side window next to the door for the large en-suite. Another two doors led off on the other side of the room. Tuck stood beside the window and looked up when she entered. Clocking her, he tossed the black device he was fiddling with to the desk, then strode to the end of the bed with the audacity to be wearing a faint smile.

“What do you want?” she asked his sock clad feet, clutching her bag in front of her.

Trussed up like a Barbie, her hair had been teased and fluffed into a high up-do. Uncomfortable bones from the corset she wore dug into her ribs but they succeeded in spilling her breasts over the top of the siren-red, strapless leather dress she wore.

She felt like an idiot. She’d never dressed up for Tuck like this. Throughout their relationship there were times they played games and she had plenty of nice lingerie, but he’d never asked her to don anything like this and she was disgusted that he might have requested her to gussy up like this through Sikorski.

“If I told you to stand on one leg and bark like a dog, would you do it?”

Glaring up at him, she quelled her desire to scream. “I might,” she snapped, resenting his enjoyment of her embarrassment. “But you’d only enjoy it long enough for me to come over there and bash in your skull.”

“Temper, temper,” he tutted, how could he be enjoying this? He didn’t even want to have sex with her, he’d refused her in the motel and not much had changed since then. She couldn’t fathom his motive for calling her here to his room, dressed like some Vegas hooker, just to jeer her. “Come here.”

Narrowing her eyes, she tried to see into him because he was softer and the smile was gone. “Why?”

“Come on, Toots,” he murmured, so quietly it was almost like he was talking to himself, as if she wasn’t actually here. Pleading with a gentle whisper meant to soothe her and convince him that they were actually together here. “Please.”

Tossing her bag down, she took a step toward him. “I’m here for whatever you need,” she said. “Nic—”

“Don’t say his name,” Tuck interrupted. “This is us, just us here. If I’d lost you tonight—”

“You saved me tonight,” she said. “You saved us all.”

It was difficult to be too grateful given that his people were the ones who had endangered them. But she couldn’t’ ignore the risk he’d taken by allowing himself to be put into that position and no matter how they got there, he had been the one to get them out of the situation.
