SEVENTY-ONE

EZRA FORCED HIMSELF not to rush her. It wasn’t the time for hot heat, but for connection. Reassurance. To keep it easy and sweet. Despite what had happened between them in her hotel room that night, they didn’t have a real relationship yet. It had been a moment in time, and they both knew that. He knew what he wanted from her—just the chance to have someone who got it.

Who made him think the world was an all right place again. Even if just when he was with her.

Just how alone he actually was had hit him when they’d been stuck in that damned Arkansas cabin for three days.

No one but Cam, Leina, and a few friends and colleagues would have missed him if he had never made it back.

But her... She was the light to so many people.

She had been the only light he’d had those long three days. He’d gotten through by focusing on her. He knew enough of his own head to realize that.

The moment when he’d heard she’d been hurt today had changed everything, and he knew it. But he wasn’t about to use what had happened between them to get what he wanted out of her.

It wasn’t about just sex with Shannon.

He’d known that from the moment he’d walked out of her hotel room door all those weeks ago.

Ezra had needed the connection to another human being, specifically to her, in that moment. Because she had been the one person to matter to him for the entire time they’d been held in captivity.

His whole world had centered on this woman for more than seventy-two hours straight.

It had changed him.

Ezra would never deny that.

He pulled back and smiled to himself when she blinked up at him. Shannon had the most intriguing eyes he’d ever seen. Not quite dark brown, not quite dark gold. But it was how expressive they were that he wouldn’t ever forget. He’d seen her eyes filled with determination, humor, worry, and terror.

And lust. Hunger for him.

He wanted to see that again. “Come on. We should get inside before the old guy in the window there wonders just exactly what we’ve been doing in this truck this entire time.”

“Mr. McClanahan? He’s watching?”

“Oh, yeah. He’s watching. I think he has binoculars.” Ezra turned serious. There was so much he wanted to say but couldn’t quite find the words. “Once this case is over, we need to talk. Show each other everything.”

She laughed. “Everything, Hahn? I’ve already seen everything you got.”

“You play your cards right, and I’ll let you see them again.”

“Ez... We—”

“We what? Can’t care about each other? Because it for damned sure feels like we can to me.”
