smell the sweet scent of her on
the air around him. And at night, when he should be sleeping, he was stroking
the tormented length of his cock instead, fighting to ease the hunger racking
him. He hadn’t been back to The Club, even though he had a job to do there. He
didn’t think he had enough control to restrain himself if he found Kimberly
there again.
    “Are you staying all night?” he
asked her as he opened the kitchen door for her and stood aside.
    “Not this time,” she said, her
voice soothing, compassionate. “I need to get back to D.C. by morning. I have a
luncheon I can’t miss.”
    He shook his head. His mother had
her fingers in too many organizations and charities for him to keep track of.
She was a political dynamo, and he hoped Madison realized the gem he had in
her. If Carolyn had her way, she would see the Senator standing in the
Presidential wings. He just hoped she knew what the hell she was doing.
    He escorted her to the front of the
house and out to the limo awaiting her. Kissing her cheek, he saw her into the
back of the car and watched as she rode away. She had brought the seeds of his
destruction with the information on Kimberly and the threat endangering her.
God help them both, he didn’t know how the hell he was going to keep his hands
off her.

Chapter Five
     
    “Matthews, you and Adams have days,
Lowell and Danford can take nights,” Kimberly informed the four men as they
were escorted by Jared’s housekeeper to their individual rooms. The men were
downstairs, Kimberly was upstairs. Right next door to Jared.
    “Will do, Kimberly.” David Matthews
nodded his dark head solemnly, his puppy dog eyes smiling back at her. “Lighten
up, we shouldn’t be here long. Raddington doesn’t seem the type to really like
company.”
    Kimberly snorted. Jared had stopped
just shy of rude when they drove in that morning.
    “What the hell an ex-Special Forces
soldier needs us for, I have no idea. He didn’t look like he had grown lazy,”
Tim Adams grumped as he tossed his suitcase on one of the two double beds that
filled the large bedroom.
    The agents’ rooms were connected,
two to a room, at the back of the house. The rooms were airy and comfortable,
but not exactly homely. Jared evidently wasn’t one to encourage overnight
guests.
    “He’ll get used to it.” She
shrugged as though unconcerned, but it bothered her as well.
    Jared was considered one of the
best soldiers in the Special Forces when he retired after his father’s death.
His record was impeccable, his mission successes rated at ninety-nine percent.
He could take out all five of the bodyguards sent to protect him, and likely
take on a full assassination team with the advanced notice he had been given.
    She focused instead on the four men
she had been assigned. She was aware that Jared had approached her father in
regards to what he considered suitable for a husband for Kimberly. Senator
Madison had been extremely derogatory when he relayed that information to her.
    As though I would consider him ,he had told her, derision thickening his voice. You need restraint,
Kimberly, not a man as deviant as you more than likely are yourself.
    Deviant. He had no idea, she
thought in smug satisfaction as she wondered if he had any idea how effectively
she had sidestepped the Trust’s conditions. Anal sex might not be the most
satisfying act, but it eased the fury and the tension that drove her.
    But he knew Jared’s interest in her
now, and she knew how the Senator worked. One of the men with her was sent, not
to guard anything, but to report back to the Senator instead.
    “Keep your eyes open and keep me
updated,” she told the four as they watched her now. “I’ll get unpacked and
meet you back down here for dinner. The housekeeper said it’s five sharp, no
later. Let’s try not to disturb his routine too severely.”
    She actually preferred to make
certain they didn’t disturb Jared at all; he hadn’t looked pleased with
