Chapter Four

Cat stretched luxuriously against the soft sheets and opened her eyes to a misty morning fogged in shades of grey. Rain fell softly on the deck and splattered against the windows. It took her a minute to orient herself and remember where she was. And who’s bed she was in.

The pounding in her head had disappeared and her thigh was only a little sore. It looked to be early dawn, but she felt refreshed as if she hadn’t only had a few hours of sleep.

“I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to wake up. Maybe Sleeping Beauty is a more appropriate name than Matilda.”

Cat turned her head and couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction at the sight Thomas made. He was lounged back in the bedside chair, his t-shirt taut over his muscles and his jeans worn and comfortable looking. His hair was still mussed from sleep and his chocolate eyes weren’t giving any of his thoughts away.

Insecurity began to eat away at the edges of her confidence. She wasn’t used to the relationship dance. She’d never actually had a relationship before. Her only experience with sex had been when she was eighteen, but that was before her life changed completely. The FBI had put a damper on that relationship real fast.

So she did what she always did when faced with an uncomfortable situation. She pasted a smile on her face and brazened her way through. “How long have you been up? You should have woken me.”

“I’ve been trying to since yesterday morning. Your body obviously needed the sleep.”

Now that he mentioned it, she did have a pressing urge to make her way to the bathroom. She threw her legs over the edge of the bed and realized she still didn’t have clothes on. She glanced at Thomas beneath her lashes and saw he wasn’t unaffected by the sight of her body. His eyes darkened and his gaze was intense before he shook his head as if to wake himself from a trance.

Something was definitely going on.

“Take it easy,” he said. “You’re libel to be stiff after being still so long.”

“I’ve got it. The pain’s not nearly as bad as it was. I’ll be out of your hair before you know it.”

His lips tightened and she made her way to the bathroom, her muscles loosening a little with every step.

“Do you care if I take a shower?”

“No. Go ahead. Try not to get your stitches too wet. I’ll take another look at them once you get out and get you a fresh bandage. One of my brothers brought by the duffle bag of clothes you had in the trunk. I’ll set it inside the door for you.”

“Thanks.”

The shower went a long way towards improving her mood. Her muscles relaxed under the hot spray, and it felt good to wash her hair and get clean. When she stepped out of the shower, the duffle bag that held her clothes was just inside the door. She pulled out a pair of loose boxer shorts and a grey t-shirt, deciding to forego a bra for now.
