Laura clears her throat. “Are we moving her?”

“Yeah.”

“Where? We don’t have another safe house.”

“I know a place we can go. If you think this is going to be over soon,” I offer. “The security there is top notch.”

Gabe lifts an eyebrow in question.

An hour later we’re walking into my office. Gabe still doesn’t look like he’s a fan of the idea, but it really is safe here. It’s Fort Knox if you don’t work here.

“You need rest,” he tells me, but the only thing I need is him.

“So do you.” I put my hands on my hips so he knows I mean business. I don’t think he’s slept more than a few hours. I turn to walk over to the far wall that looks like a bookcase and pull it down revealing a full-size bed. It will be a tight fit with how big Gabe is. Not that I mind.

I wanted to be as close to him as possible. A foreign feeling for me. He’s made me needy for it now. I crave his touch almost as much as I do my next breath.

“You have a bed in your office.” He shuts my office door, flipping the lock.

“It’s not uncommon for me to spend the night if I’m making progress. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my research that I lose track of time.” He takes a step closer as he unbuttons his shirt.

My heart starts to race when I see his broad chest. It isn’t a six-pack or eight. He’s hard all over, and you can tell he is a man of brute force. He didn’t spend hours in the gym to look good. He did it to be good at his job.

He holds the shirt out for me. “You can sleep in this.” I don’t take it from him. I start to strip out of my clothes until I’m down to only my bra and panties.

Thank God I put on a matching pair. They aren’t sexy, though. They’re more for comfort, but by the look Gabe is giving me you’d think I have on the sexiest lingerie in the world.

“Cat.” He groans as I reach behind me and unclasp my bra, letting it fall to the floor before I make my way over to him to take the shirt.

He grabs my wrist, then I reach for it. “I said after we got this mess cleaned up I’d have you.”

“I know. I want to be comfortable.” He releases me, letting me take the shirt. I slide it on, loving that it smells like him. Even in a sterile lab he holds that warm smell of the sun.

I make my way over to the bed as he kicks his shoes off and empties his pockets before hitting the light. He slides in next to me, pulling me close before kissing my neck.

“If I’m not here when you wake up, that means I had to go to the interrogation. Promise me you won’t leave here.”

I turn in his arms. “Promise. I want this over too.” I wrap myself around him the best I can, resting my head on his chest. I’m not sure sleep will come. I don’t know how long I lie there before Gabe speaks again.

“Can’t fall asleep?” I shrug.

“It happens a lot.” He rolls so that he’s over me, pinning me beneath him.

“You want me to help you with that?” he asks, his warm breath tickling my skin.

“I thought you said—“

“I’m not going to take you, but I can do other things.” He kisses me as he pulls off his shirt from my body. His mouth leaves mine as he trails kisses down my body.

My breathing picks up, knowing what he’s about to do. My clit throbs with need. He stops at my breast, sucking one nipple into his mouth and pulling the other with his fingers. My body arches toward him, wanting more of his touch. He sucks harder, causing me to jerk against him, letting out a moan.

“Please don’t tease, Gabe. I need this. Need you.” A deep rumble comes from him. He sounds primal, making me wetter. I try and close my legs to help with the throb there, but his big body won’t let me.

“I’ve got you.” He slips down my body, pulling my panties off and leaving me naked. His fingers brush across my sex. “Fuck you’re wet.”

“It’s your fault.” I try to lift my hips again, digging my fingers into the sheets, needing something to hang on to. He lets my hips rise up this time, his hands going to my ass, gripping me before he buries his mouth between my thighs.

I cry out his name. The sensation is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. His hands keep me still so I can’t wiggle, but he does lift me higher, as if he wants more of me in his mouth.
