CHAPTER NINE

WESLEY WOKE WITH A START. The arm he had wrapped around Carlie had gone numb. Lifting his head, he glanced at the clock on the shelves. Four in the morning. He’d slept five hours through the night without a single nightmare. How long had it been since he’d accomplished that feat? He couldn’t remember. Must be the sleep deprivation catching up with him.

Carlie made soft chuffing noises in her sleep—probably what woke him. A wave of tenderness worked its way through him. Damn, she was pretty. He shifted, trying to get some circulation back into his arm. Sometime during the night, she’d flung a leg over him, and her arm rested across his chest. The scent of her shampoo filled his senses, and a soothing warmth spread where she pressed against him.

Bone-deep contentment filled him. The feeling was like nothing he’d ever experienced before. Possessiveness gripped him, and his throat tightened at the intensity of the emotions welling up inside him. Leaning close, he brushed his lips against her temple.

She didn’t have to get up for another hour, and he was in no hurry to disentangle himself. Wes put his head back down and relished having Carlie stretched out beside him. The tension she was under was reaching a critical point, and she was showing the wear and tear. Jared had somehow managed to elude them all while continuing to stalk Carlie and Ty. Any day now the guy would make his move to get to them, and Wes wasn’t about to sit around and wait.

Ken’s suggestion that he and the guys perform their own special ops mission had been more and more on Wes’s mind. Brushing his jaw against Carlie’s silken hair, he thought about what needed to be done. If he and the guys did decide to pull their own mission, he’d have to talk to Paul and the marshals, get them on board. Keep it legal.

Half an hour before Carlie had to wake up, he slipped out of her hold and went to the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. Then he headed to his room for a quick shower and a change of clothes. By the time he returned to the living room, she was beginning to stir. He fixed them both mugs of coffee and returned to her. “I brought coffee. It’s time to get up, sweetheart.”

Carlie groaned, stretched and then pushed herself up to sitting. She brushed the hair from her face and reached for the coffee. “Mmm.” She took a sip and sighed. “Just what I need. I can’t believe I spent the whole night on your couch.”

A crease had formed across her cheek where she’d pressed against the seam of his shirt. Adorable. “You seemed so content I didn’t want to disturb you.” He sat beside her.

“Thanks for keeping me company until I fell asleep last night, and for the coffee this morning.” She put her mug down and folded the blanket he’d spread over them last night. “I need to shower, dress and get Tyler ready to go to Ceejay’s.
