Parker awoke the followinga pair of shoes out of his bag that sat in a chair next to the bed She opened her eyes but lay perfectly still so she could watch him undetected
He wore a navy blue button down cuffed at the elbows The shirt was tucked into khaki dress pants and finished off with a thick brown belt There was a frown on his face and a crease between his eyebrows as he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and read soe of the bed, curl her arm around his neck, and sers
She longed to press her lips to his and taste hiainst her stoain Parker knew all along that doing anything intiasoline, and she was right His touch filled a void in her, and she wanted that feeling of completeness back
Garrett tried to be as quiet as he could allto just sit in the chair across fro as possible, he wasn’t ready to face her theafter He was uncomfortable with the fact they would have to act like it was no big deal due to the bugged room, but at the same time, he had no desire to discuss this with her and listen to her remind him it was just a job
A small part of hiht though The words of encouragement she spoke, her moans of pleasure, the way her body felt in his arms when she came, it seemed impossible to Garrett that it was all an act She would have never told hi if some small part of her hadn’t wanted it – hadn’t wanted hiht now Sonas, lies, and ghosts of the past For the first tis that happened between Parker and hinment couldn’t continue when they went back to their lives He wondered ould happen when they were free from the charade and could just be themselves
Garrett’s phone vibrated in his pocket, and he pulled it out to see he had missed a call from an unknown number That would make three in the span of an hour Garrett knew he needed to focus and stop letting thoughts of Parker mess with hishi aside his frivolous thoughts of love and relationships when there were lanced up to take in Parker’s sleeping for at hi the pillow to her, the sheet draped down around her hips Garrett’s eyes trailed down the s he wanted to do and knew he had to do for the purpose of the hidden ears that listened
His eyes found hers again, and he kept his gaze locked on them as he wordlessly walked over to the bed, rested his hands and one knee on top, and leaned over towards Parker, pressing his lips to the skin of her shoulder He should have backed away then, but he couldn’t help himself Garrett moved further over her body and kissed her between her shoulder blades, down a few inches to theat the san
Parker closed her eyes during the kisses, sighing lightly each time Garrett’s soft, wars would be aard between the hihs as his breath ghosted along her spine
Garrett forced his mouth away fro He stood up from the bed and watched her slowly open her eyes back up
"Good , sweetie," he said cheerfully as he turned his back and sat down on the settee at the foot of the bed to put on his shoes "Get your sleepy ass out of bed so we can get soot up, and walked into the living rooer, Garrett sounded perfectly content and ready to start the day But to Parker, the woman who knew him better than anyone else, his voice was strained, overly joyful and dripping with false affection
He was playing a role The one he ca that and for thinking anything different She spent years training for things like this, and with one orgasrily flung the covers off of herself, and put the mask back in place as she walked to the bathrooht back around, and h the door to the connecting living roo on the couch with his hands on his knees and his head in his hands His head shot up when he heard her walk into the room The look on his face would have been priceless and one she would have got a good laugh out of if she wasn’t so pissed off
Standing in the doorway coers When she reached the end, her hair fell froainst the top of her breast She let her er trail a path down her skin from her collarbone to one perfectly erect, pink nipple,where she circled it a few ti to take a quick shower, baby If you weren’t already dressed, I’d ask you to join ainst the shoall"
Parker turned on her heels and strode fro her rily up and down her naked body while she stood there in the doorway She was too angry to care that just the sight of her had given him quite an obvious erection
Sheout of her way, and then turned the water as hot as she could handle it to try and burn the feel of Garrett’s hands and mouth from her skin
Garrett didn’t think he would ever recover fro room naked He had absolutely no idea what had possessed her to do soe of her perfect, bare breasts and the heaven between her thighs that he wanted to sink his mouth into was forever burned into his brain It was torture enough that he could still feel her heat on his fingertips and her body against him Now he knew exactly what the parts of her body he touched the night before looked like in full, glorious living color Garrett re open while Parker showered As soon as she finished and got ready for breakfast, she bound into the living roo him a kiss on the cheek, she pulled him up fro him sweetie, baby, hon, honey, love, and every other variation she could think of with every single sentence and a sickeningly sweet smile on her face as they made their way downstairs Garrett wondered where Stepford Parker had co He wanted to push her back into their room, lock the door, and kiss her until she dropped the act He wanted to run his hands over every square inch of her beautiful body she put on display for hiht had changed everything and he didn’t want to go back to the way they were, but he couldn’t do that
A guard greeted them as soon as they exited the roo rooht off the kitchen Parker had curled her arh his and practically skipped down the stairs, ra about how happy she was and how they should come back to the Dominican for a vacation when they were done ork Garrett hated that his own fake husband act earlier had forced her to behave like this He second-guessed his decision to focus solely on the assignment and realized belatedly that he should have just acted how he felt Knowing there were people listening in on everything they did ht let slip if he let his guard down Garrett thought it would be easier to just be professional with Parker so they wouldn’t make any mistakes
He should have known better At this point, it would be impossible to be professional with her when all he could do was stare at her and think about how much he wanted her full breasts in his hands and nestle his
