She was killing him. Being this close to her was going to snarl his guts into a permanent kink, especially now that he’d finally had another taste of her. Gage wanted to hit something. Even now, hours later, he could still taste her. And one kiss wasn’t going to be enough.

Thanks to Meredith being plastered to him like cling wrap last night, Gage had been hard and hurting for hours. It wasn’t until they got to the cabin that he had finally managed to get a little relief. Then she’d asked questions about his other life and started in on the shaving thing. That had fired him up again and brought back the feel of her lush curves against his back, the dark sweetness of her mouth.

Arousal had mixed with anger, started a slow boil inside him. Which was why he had told her point-blank what she could expect if she touched him. She couldn’t just change the rules whenever she felt like it. If she couldn’t make up her mind about what she wanted, he’d do it for her. Because he knew exactly what he wanted. Her.

She may have finally gone to bed, but her scent still lingered. Even so, that was easier to deal with than her sitting in the living area looking at him with those liquid blue eyes.

He bit back a groan. He’d nearly tumbled her onto that couch and kissed her until she agreed to do anything he wanted.

His resistance to her was thisclose to finished. Despite the smallness of the cabin, he planned to keep as much physical distance between them as possible.

He hadn’t been able to gather his thoughts while she moved around. Went back and forth. Breathed.

With his concentration split like that, it would’ve been easy to miss something helpful in his notes so he started at the beginning. It took him fifteen minutes to settle down and focus his attention.

After a few hours, a headache throbbed behind his eyes. He rose from his chair at the table and walked to the narrow window left of the front door. Bracing his good shoulder against the wall, he stared out into the night, over the shallow porch, the red packed-earth road, the trees beyond. The moon was a cold sliver of ice in an inky sky.

“Is everything okay?” Meredith asked.

He started, his head whipping toward her.

“Sorry. I tried not to come up on your right, but your other side was against the wall.”

He wished he hadn’t told her about his loss of peripheral vision, but with her training there was no way to get around it. She was barefoot, which explained why he hadn’t heard her. Her hair was down and she wore her pink leopard-print pajama bottoms and the pink long-sleeved cotton top that snugged her breasts just right. In two seconds, he could slip right under her shirt and have his hands on her.

He directed his gaze back out the window. “Everything’s fine. Why?”

“I saw the light on. Is it my turn to take a shift?”

“No, go on back to bed.
