"Uh-huh Let’s get you upstairs"

HeHe fell across the bed, taking Lily with hiled out frorabbed her hand and held tight to her fingers

"Don’t leave," he said

She didn’t say anything

"What I…told you It’s the truth Trust your instincts"

She didn’t kno to respond

"Stay Please" His hand dropped to the bed and his eyes drifted shut He was out

She walked fro She spent the next several hours righting thedrawers back and clothes back in the By the ti norain

After she showered and threw on one of Mac’s T-shirts, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him

Nohat? She had so many questions

When hadn’t she had questions? But this tiiven her a bone, and dammit, she wanted answers

Since he’d passed out belly down, she caught sight of his phone sticking out of his back pocket She slid it out and held it in her hand It would be so easy to call her boss or her client, to grab the vial and Mac’s phone and get out of there

She could even call the police or the FBI if she wanted to, could turn over the virus to the government, so at least it would be safe

Could she even be certain what he said what true? Did he really work for the govern of lies he’d told her?

But Mac had asked her to trust her instincts Wasn’t that what she’d been doing all this tireed to stay with him? Because of her inherent belief that he couldn’t possibly be doing so that could potentially har at her to trust him, to wait this out until he woke up so she could finally hear the truth

She needed to hear the truth about this govern

She bent down and pulled off his boots, then pushed at Mac to roll hi onto his back

"Let’s get you undressed," she said, not sure if he even heard her She worked on his jeans, undoing thes The rest was easier When she had hi

With a sigh, Lily pulled off the T-shirt and climbed into bed, shut off the bedside lamp and scooted next to Mac He wrapped an arainst higled closer to Mac and closed her eyes

Mac didn’t want to wake up Lily’s warh the s yet, which meant it was early Too damn early to be awake

Yet he ake His mouth felt like cotton And his head hurt Godda to find his brain cells, because he couldn’t reo back to sleep for a while longer He inched closer to Lily, burying his nose in her hair and inhaling her sweet scent He could so easily drift off again

God, he felt drugged

He blinked his eyes open Drugged Recall inched its way through the fog Oh, yeah Last night, Lily drugged his soda, ran off with the virus and he chased her on the bike It was all there, on the fringes and a little fuzzy, but he remembered now

He must have been insane to chase her on his bike while he was as drugged up as he’d been Then again, he hadn’t really had et the virus back

He’d needed to get Lily back

The i was, she was still there with hi her to trust hiive him a chance to explain it all How many times had he asked that of her? It was so unfair He’d been unfair to her this entire ti so long to tell her

He would have to tell her the whole story today The secret was out now

But not yet Not when it was still war body They were spooned together, her butt nestled in his crotch His hand rested between her breasts He s up this ith his nose buried in her neck, knowing the first thing he was going to s her in turned hiainst his cock was better than any alar him rise to life in an instant The blood rushed south and his shaft finally started paying attention to where it was--nestled between the legs of a very hot woman

He leaned up on one elbow so he could see over her shoulder, then dragged the sheet down to her waist, uncovering her breasts Like the rest of her, they were perfection--round, with pink nipples that perked up when hethe pink crest with his thu slow, lazy circles around it until it puckered

Lily moaned and arched, but her eyes stayed closed He continued to toy with her nipple, captivated by the way it hardened as he rolled it between his fingers Even better was her response, the way she wriggled her ass against his cock
