just a twin bed. This room not only had a queen bed, but boasted a small bathroom en suite . A fireplace was in the far corner with a large area rug in front.
His gaze returned to the bed, easily big enough for the two of them. But something told him the temptation that would represent was dangerous. Lying next to her, feeling her, smelling her…shit, maybe he should just take the floor.
Sienna stepped into the room and glanced around with a critical eye. “This is my room?”
He opened his mouth to inform her they’d be sharing, but changed his mind. She’d figure it out soon enough. Besides, better not get her all pissed off and then leave, who knew what he’d come back to?
Crossing the room to the dresser, he pulled out one of the drawers. “Go ahead and get yourself settled in. Here’s a T-shirt you can throw on for bed. Unless you want to sleep in that dress.”
She made no effort to catch the shirt he tossed at her.
“You have clothes here?” she asked skeptically.
“Not mine personally. All our safe houses are stocked with them. We need to be prepared to stay for awhile.” He shut the drawer. “There are also some packages of underwear in there. Not exactly the silk and lace type of stuff, but I bet you can pull it off.”
Sienna’s face reddened and the glare she turned on him should’ve had the effect of a cold shower. Instead he found himself getting hard. Dammit, what was it about her that turned him on? She could be scrubbing toilets and he’d find it sexy. And this is why you’ve stayed away from her for the past six years.
“When are you going to tell me more about you guys?” she asked as she tucked back a strand of hair that had fallen free.
Before he could answer, his gaze caught on the flash of silver. He stepped forward and pulled her hand forward, circling her wrist with his fingers and touching the thin bracelet that lay there.
His chest tightened and he frowned, lifting his gaze to hers again. “You still have this?”
A pretty flush filled Sienna’s cheeks and her mouth tightened. “It went with the dress.” She tugged her wrist away and cleared her throat. “You didn’t answer my question.”
All thoughts of the bracelet and what it symbolized abandoned his mind and he bit back a sigh. “No, I didn’t and I don’t have time now. We’ll talk later.”
“Wow, that sounds a bit like déjà vu,” she mocked, her fists clenching and her mouth tightening. “How much later? I’ve been dragged to a safe house by men dressed up like G.I. Joe on crack. I mean, come on already, Warrick. I think I deserve an explanation.”
“You’ll get an explanation later, Sienna. And then I’ll get mine,” he warned her but felt no triumph when her face lost color at his warning. Turning he headed toward the door. “Because you will explain to me just how the hell you’re involved with this goddamned mess.”
Chapter Four
The door closed shut with a firm thud, the sound making her flinch as it sealed her fate.
Sienna licked her lips, her heart still pounding from everything that had happened in the last few hours. It was almost too much to take in. She shouldn’t be here—couldn’t. Dammit, there was a ticking clock!
She’d planned to pay cash for a flight to Boston in the next few hours, not be stranded in some random safe house with a bunch of federal agents who worked for the shifters. If Warrick had been telling the truth and that’s really who they were…
A shiver ran through her body and she wrapped her arms around her stomach, letting her gaze drift around the room.
God, she couldn’t have predicted this yesterday. Any of it. The crazy existence of beings that could shift between wolf and human, or that Warrick would be back in her life and just as enticing as before. He still made her knees weak and her pulse go wacky.
She had to try and escape, but even if she broke the only window in the room and hopped through it, where the heck would she go? They
