Betty

I wash our dishes from lunch at the sink, bubbling over with happiness. Hawk is outside on a call—he’s been on the phone nearly constantly since he questioned me—but he never strays too far from the house. I can see him from the window now, and he looks strong. Angry.

Mine.

I laugh out loud, twirling in my little flare-skirted sun dress. It’s the one I bought for my daydream of meeting Hawk on the French Riviera. In that daydream, I was enjoying coffee—no, espresso!—while sitting at a bistro table out on the boardwalk, and he walks up all tall, dark and dangerous, a man fresh from a mission. But now he’s come to claim me as the prize for a job well done.

I smooth my hands down my dress, swaying a little on my feet. I’ve spent the last five years imagining what it would be like to be in Hawk’s arms, to have him make love to me, but the reality is so much more amazing than what I expected. He’s harder, tougher—but his eyes watch me with a desire that even I can see, and his hands can be so gentle and then so strong without warning, covering me, holding me…pleasuring me…

Heat curls deliciously through my body, making me feel damp and ready for him again, and I shake my head. Does he have any idea what he does to me, simply by walking in the room? Will I ever be able to have the same effect on him?

That thought stops me. How many times have I wondered that exact question, as I dreamed up new and exciting adventures for us? How many times have I tilted my head perfectly to the right, batted my eyes, softened my lips, imagining I was seducing Hawk Majors? Whether he was a hired killer, an ex-special-forces operative, an undercover agent, or an elite bodyguard come to protect me from bad guys, in my daydreams I am always the one who sweeps him away, in the end…ideally right before we embark on some fabulous adventure in a far-off city.

Could I do that now? Or would he shut me down flat, like he did with the discussion of us traveling to Bali?

I look at the sparkling clean dishes, then dart my glance out the window. Hawk’s still on the phone, but he’ll have to come inside sometime, right? And then I’ll be here. Waiting for him. Ready to seduce him…somehow.

But how could I…?

And then I have it. With a giddy laugh, I race upstairs and into the second bedroom, where all my bags are in various states of unpacking. I dive through all the evidence of the very healthy fantasy life I have with one Hawk Majors, until I find the outfit I want. I can’t believe I even own it, and I’ve never worn it outside my own bedroom before. But for what I have in mind, it’s perfect.

I barely make it downstairs in time when I hear Hawk come through the
