Chapter Five

“Tell me more about Cao.” Derek issued the order as he walked beside her in the snow.

“What’s to tell? He’s my companion.”

She shoved her hands deeper into the thick jacket she wore, grateful for its protection against the biting air that whipped around them as they strode through the woods. She had awakened in his arms that morning and she would never admit aloud how wonderful it felt. He held her as if she was his world.

A perfect memory for my fantasy life.

Cutting her gaze to her left, she observed the man beside her. Loose jeans, black boots, and a black leather jacket that was playing hell on her libido. Thick black strands of his hair fell forward over his face—almost, but not quite hiding those intense dark blue eyes. About two days’ worth growth on his jaw and all she wanted to do was touch.

Instead, she dug her nails into her palm. She may be romantic, she may be fanciful, but she wasn’t an idiot. And while yesterday after she admitted what she truly wanted, he told her she had him, today was a new day she wasn’t holding onto that statement like it was gospel no matter how much she wanted it to be.

“Is he protection trained?”

It never occurred to her to lie to him about it, this man knew everything about her.

“Yes, he is.”

“That’s smart. Have a dog with you that most people would be unassuming about. The decision.”

At his praise, she nearly preened. Forcing it under control, she gave a small smile in thanks. Didn’t matter what her insides were doing or the happy dance she personally wished to do. They walked in silence for a while until his phone rang, disrupting the peace surrounding them.

“Derek. You sure? Okay, Wild, I’ll be right there.” He ended the call and shoved back into his pocket.

“Time to go?”

“For me, yes. I have to go meet my brother at the office, we have a new client coming in.” He stepped close and drew her near, his black gloves gripping the excess of her coat. “Then I’m coming back here to you, and we will work on finishing our discussion.”

Head tipped back to maintain eye connection, she shrugged. “Didn’t we do that yesterday?”

“There’s so much for us to discuss, babe. We haven’t even begun to scratch the surface.”

Her insides clenched and she grew slick between her thighs. Why was she indulging in this? This was going too end poorly for her. Not with the physical, but with the talking.

“I suppose we should head back.”

Derek nodded, his gaze never leaving hers. Instead of backing away he tugged with the hand that held her jacket until she was flush to him. Then he kissed her. It wasn’t long that she felt it all the way through her, down to her toes.

“I suppose we should,” he agreed.

He held her hand on the way back, the silence between them again not an issue for her. At the house he opened the door and allowed her to enter first.
