Chapter Eight

“Can we just stay here for a while?” Cirro whispered to her in the middle of the night. She’d slept, wrapped up in his arms, only to wake up to his lovemaking over and over again. But it was now night time again, and her stomach was screaming for nourishment.

“I’m starving, Cirro. You’re insatiable, but I need to eat.”

“No, I meant. Can we just…start over?” Sasha rolled over in his arms, squinting in the darkness to make out his features.

“What are you asking, Cirro?”

“We haven’t had much time to get to know each other. I thought maybe we could do so now.”

“Ice is out there—” Sasha began.

“And I have the perimeter of the house surrounded with cameras from every angle for five miles out. And alarms set the minute anyone gets close, and a team ready to move twenty-four-seven for protection. Ice will make his move, but he has to find you. You won’t be anywhere but here, and so he will be coming to my territory. Until that time, can we have our time? I know I’m asking for a lot, after how things happened, but I think if I’d done this in the beginning we wouldn’t be here, and Ice would never have been a threat.” Sasha smiled in the darkness.

“I think I’d like that, Cirro.”

“Say it again,” he said, lowering his head toward her.

“Cirro,” she whispered, and then squealed with laughter when Cirro nipped her chin and his hands found her body once more.

A long time later she found herself sitting in Cirro’s main room with a plate of lasagna and a glass of white wine to wet her whistle while Cirro made sure his big screen was set up. Men and their toys, she thought with a smile. The damn thing had to be at least seventy-two inches, and she was guessing she was undersizing it. Cirro was working quickly to set up his Blu-ray player and his cache of movies he stored down here. She’s smiled sheepishly when he emerged from his kitchen with the cooked meal—by his own hand!—and told her he spent most of his time staring at the monitors. He didn’t often watch television, so he hadn’t really taken the time to set things up.

He’d lived to protect his leap and hadn’t taken much time to himself. He’d created a completely self-sustaining apartment down here to call his own. He kept his kitchen stocked with food, had his own guestroom, bathroom—complete with a garden bathtub and separate shower—and even an area where he worked out. When she’d opened his mirrored closet to put her clothes up she’d found a wall covered with weapons on one side and his clothes on the other. She’d stood there, mouth agape, as he’d grabbed her bags and steered her to another closet in the main room. At first she’d wondered why he wouldn’t want her to keep her things in that room, then she’d walked into the other one. Half of the walk-in closet was filled with shoes and clothes, all for a woman.
