“The boss man,” she confirmed with an indignant nod. “The one in charge. He warned the others not to bother me, and they didn’t. Shoot, they hardly spoke to me. But he explained a few things.”
“About Scott?”
“No, just...the rules.”
Something in her expression, in the way her voice dropped, alerted him. Opening his hand on her back, he soothed a path up and down her rigid spine. “What rules, honey?”
She stared at him. “You’re comforting me?”
“Something like that.”
“Oh.” Suddenly she tucked herself closer, her cheek against his shoulder, her hand sliding up his chest. “This is nice.”
Drawing out her name like a warning, he said, “Sahara.”
“I really don’t want to talk about it. Nothing happened, I promise.”
Brand tunneled his fingers into her hair, then tugged her head back. “I know you better than that.” He wanted her trust. He needed her to know that she didn’t have to be the boss every minute of every day, not with him.
Her searching gaze bounced back and forth over his. “You have really thick, dark eyelashes, Brand. Did you know that?”
“Sahara—”
“And all this sexy stubble,” she said, reaching for his face.
“Enough.” Brand tilted out of reach. “You’re going to tell me what happened to you, so stop trying to distract me.”
Groaning, she whacked his shoulder. “You’re not normal, damn it! Why can’t you just take what I’m offering—”
His mouth covered hers in the most expedient way to silence her annoyance. She immediately sank against him, all the vibrating agitation draining from her slim body.
Perfect.
Too perfect.
Bordering on dangerous...and wasn’t that absurd given the situation they’d just escaped?
