Chapter 21

Jackson knocked gently on the motel door and Chloe hurried over to open it. The wind blew into the small room as she opened the door and old snow skittered around Jackson's feet. He stomped his feet on the cement outside the door before stepping in. It was a futile effort to keep the already disgustingly dirty carpet from getting dirty, but Chloe appreciated the gesture.

"Well, the manager says the room is yours until seven, so you can take a shower and relax until it's time to go," Jackson said. Chloe nodded. Seven o'clock and the plan to break into the base felt a long ways away and she was starting to feel nervous.

Jackson turned as though he was going to leave and Chloe caught his arm. "Will you stay with me? I mean, unless you have somewhere important to go or something," she added lamely. His smile lit up the small room.

"I've got nowhere to be but here. What would you like to do?" he asked. His eyes were cinnamon warm and when they focused on her she felt a heat growing in her belly.

"We never did finish that game of gin rummy," she replied with a smile. Jackson glanced over at the small table and the one, lone chair. She followed his gaze and quickly added, "We can just play on the floor."

"Sounds good to me," Jackson said, smiling as he sat down on the cleanest patch of carpet he could find. Chloe moved to sit cross-legged in front of him. Their knees were almost close enough to touch, and she could feel his heat radiating toward her. Chloe wished she could inch forward just enough to have his knee caress hers, but she didn't want to seem too pushy. He pulled out the cards and began dealing.

The sexual tension in the room was almost unbearable. Every fiber of Chloe's body- every muscle, every bone, every nerve—wanted Jackson. She couldn't understand the insane amount of attraction and it was taking every ounce of her willpower not to jump on him. Her lips tingled from where they had kissed, driving her mad with desire to feel it again.

"So," she said, clearing her throat. The room was too quiet and she hoped talking would distract her mind from the raging needs of her body.

Jackson looked up from his cards, his dark eyes drawing her in. She wished she had something to actually say, but his eyes stole all her brain power.

"I really appreciate you doing this," she stuttered. She organized the cards in her hand, hoping the blush wasn't as obvious as she was afraid it was. "I mean, helping me with my brother. It's a lot of risk, and I would totally understand if you wanted to back out or..."

"I'm not backing out. I said I was going to help you, and I'm going to." He smiled at her and her heart skipped a beat.

"Why?" she asked. "I mean, thank you, but you barely know me. Why are you helping me?" The cards shook slightly as she organized them a little bit more.
