Pressed up against him, chest to chest, hips to hips, thigh to thigh, she mentally fist-pumped back the way his cock leaped to life.
Oh, yes. He wanted her. For just one night, she could take what she needed from this very willing man.
She smiled and sucked the lobe of his ear into her mouth.
Isaac’s hands flew to her shoulders, and he took a giant step backward, nearly out into the hallway. “Hannah, you’re upset.” He dropped his hands and then shoved them in his pockets. “I never should’ve touched you. I’m sorry.”
“I’m not.” Grinning, she closed the distance between them. “And I liked the way you touched me.” She ran her hands up his solid chest and wove them around his neck. “Do it again,” she whispered as she traced her tongue over the curves of his ear.
His chest shuddered as he let out a long breath. She could feel his hands, still buried in his pockets, ball into fists. “Hannah, we can’t do this.” He glanced up into the corner of the hallway and for the first time, she noticed a small red light.
Was that a camera? She thought it was just a motion detector. Angry, she dropped her arms, placing her hands on her hips. “Is there video surveillanceinthe house?”
Isaac looked at his stocking feet and quietly answered, “Yes. And audio.”
She glanced over her shoulder to her bedroom. “Everywhere?”
He looked at her and quickly reassured her, “No. Hallways, all the main areas, stairwells. The outdoor cameras cover every exit and window.”
“Is someone watching us all the time?” Her mind raced back through the past several days. She never made a habit of walking around naked, but there might’ve been times before Isaac arrived that she had walked down the hall in a lacy bra and matching bikini panties.
“Hannah, you are a high-value target,” he said as though that explained everything.
“Have these always been video and audio?” She knew her voice was accusing but couldn’t stop it.
“Yes.” Isaac then shook his head. “No. When the system was installed it had full capabilities, but since the house wasn’t used very often, the local security company left them on motion sensors. I converted it when I arrived and changed everything over to our Guardian Security system.”
Whew. That was a relief. Then she remembered her wet shirt and very visible dark nipples. She shrugged. What was done was done. She couldn’t change the past. “Well, I hope they enjoyed my show the other night.”
The corners of Isaac’s mouth kicked up. “I certainly did,” he said just above a whisper barely moving his lips.
She stepped back into the depths of her bedroom, hoping he would follow her into her personal privacy. He stopped at the doorway, his hands braced on either side.
She spun around and looked into his deep brown eyes. “Are the cameras why you won’t touch me?”
His chin dropped to his chest. “No.” He raised his head slowly. His gaze felt like fingers touching every part of her body as he visually traced her curves from her ankles to her teasing smile. “You know how much I want you.” He glanced down at his tented shorts. “I can’t hide that fact. But I’m here to protect you. If I’m concentrating on licking and sucking your clit until you scream my name, or thrusting inside you seeking my own release, I’m not focused on the next threat.”
Dirty talk had never excited Hannah before, but now she tingled at her core and went wet at the vision he painted. She could practically feel the heat of his breath on her thighs. Oh, yes. She wanted that. Now would be nice.
Like the burst of frigid air when a door opens in the wintertime, she realized the rest of his words. If they were wrapped up in sex, they were both vulnerable. Literally exposed. More than once, she’d shot a target with his pants down.
He was right, damn it.
Suddenly tired, the letdown after an adrenaline rush, she announced, “I’m going to bed.” She looked up at the gorgeous man who filled her doorway. “Unfortunately, alone.”
“I’ll check the house before calling it a night.” Isaac turned and walked away.
Hannah tossed the half-packed duffel onto the floor and crawled into bed. After her day of exertion, sunshine, and fresh air, exhaustion quickly overtook her.
“Hannah.” Isaac’s voice pulled her from a deep sleep. Still in a sleep fog, she couldn’t comprehend the words, but his tone was clear. Before she could roll out of bed, he was standing on one leg in the doorway, sliding the other into long underwear.
“We’re leaving right now. Plan to be in the cold for several hours.” Isaac’s rushed words shot ice into Hannah’s veins.
CHAPTER7
Isaac’s phonehad buzzed on the nightstand what seemed like five minutes after he’d fallen asleep. Opening his eyes, he checked the clock. It was four-thirty in the morning. He lifted the phone and adrenaline shot straight to his heart when he saw the caller ID was Guardian’s Atlanta Operations Center.
Before he could utter a word, the man on the other end urgently said, “Get her out of there. Now.”
