Chapter Sixteen

Heaven couldn’t be more perfect than lying against Malco’s warm body as dawn filtered through the windows. Frida couldn’t remember the last time she’d slept so deeply. Certainly not in the last few years, that was for sure. And then there was the silence. Away from the city, Malco’s home was a peaceful haven. Relaxed and rested, Frida wanted to rub herself like a cat against Malco, but she knew he was beyond tired too. Since she’d fallen through the Agency’s doorway, nobody, especially Malco, had got enough rest thanks to the investigation, research, and danger surrounding them.

As softly as she could, she slid off the bed and grabbed her top, shorts, and phone before tiptoeing out, but not before taking one last look at the magnificent male specimen sprawled on the bed. He was golden skin and muscles, with the sheet haphazardly protecting his modesty, she traced the lines and sinews with her gaze as if to etch them in her mind for later. Her eyes caught on his amputated limb, peeking from the covers, and again wondered what had happened. Had it happened during his time as a Green Beret? Or after?

Answers would have to be for later, and she retreated to the kitchen, leaving him to rest. She went to the other bathroom down the hall to wash her face, and the bluish marks left on her neck by Kasten made her wince. She didn’t regret pushing the cop. In doing so, he’d answered all her questions with just the look on his face. However, she regretted scaring Malco. Nothing in what she’d done had been premeditated, but nonetheless, the haunted look on Malco’s face when he kneeled beside her twisted her heart.

As silently as she could, Frida brewed a pot of coffee and, with one steaming cup in hand, went to sit in the living room facing the wall of windows overlooking the garden. There was a patio with lounge chairs on the other side, but she didn’t want to trigger any of the alarms set for the property.

Curling up on the couch, she took the first sip and sighed, enjoying the moment. Her body felt deliciously sore, and it was easy to remember the reason why. Malco had made her body his, and she could still feel his possession on her skin. And under. She’d never felt that connection with another man. It wasn’t just the sex, but something stronger and undeniable. It scared her a little to be so vulnerable to another human being that way.

Her brain was convinced Malco was a man that could be trusted with her life, but her heart fluttered a little with hesitation. With a lawyer’s perspective, she asked herself if she could only sleep with him and leave him forever after that without regret, and that gave her a clear answer. The thought of never seeing him again was much scarier than taking the leap with him. There was so much more she wanted to know about him, and experience with him.
