Miguel Ramirez Lopez

I couldn’t sleep. Not right away. I kept thinking about how damn sexy Audrey was. Seeing her with the katana blade as if she were some kind of female warrior made me want her all the more. She was as fierce as they came, and I wanted her so badly.

Yes, that was why I couldn’t sleep. Those kisses of hers had sent shocks straight to my groin, and I was so hard that I couldn’t possibly rest. There was only one way to handle that, and I stroked myself, imagining Audrey stroking me with her hands, her mouth, her pussy, and I came so hard that I made a mess. Damn it.

After I cleaned up in the bathroom, I returned to bed and promptly fell asleep. In the morning, I was the first to wake. I went to the grocery store, returned to the safe house and immediately went to work making some baked eggs like my mom always made. I whipped up some salsa and added some to the four ramekins. Added some green onions and Monterey Jack cheese, and egg, and a little salt and pepper. Fifteen minutes in the oven and they were done.

Slowly, the others stumbled in, and I served them all before announcing, “We have a problem.”

Audrey’s eyes widened. She hadn’t taken a bite yet and lowered her fork back to her ramekin. “What’s wrong?”

I turned to Francesco. “You sent up the distress flames, sí?”

“Yes.” He muttered a curse.

Damon grimaced. "I'm afraid they might've gotten attacked, too.

“I need to go out and see if I can find our dragons and see if there’s been another attack. Maybe even do a little spying. Legit spying,” I said, noticing Damon’s scowl.

“You don’t know how to be in and out,” he grumbled.

I shrugged and winked and Audrey, who blushed. “I prefer to take my time or else go hard and fast.”

Damon threw up his hands.

I laughed.

Francesco shook his head. “I don’t like the idea of us splitting up.”

“We can’t be ignorant, and we can’t rely on electronics. They could be hacked.”

Audrey grimaced and rubbed the back of her neck. “I will hate to see you go, but I think you should.”

“Thank you.” I smiled at her and glowered at the others before eating the rest of my food. “What do you think?”

“Delicious,” Audrey said. “I’ve never had anything like this before.”

“I’ll cook you more meals in the future,” I assured her.

“A man who can cook,” she teased.

“I’m a man of many talents.”

“That you are,” she murmured, looking up at me from across the table, her lashes lowered.

Damn. I was hard.

Once we finished eating, I dictated that Damon do the dishes and Francesco put away the cooking supplies. They grumbled, but I had made the meal, so I didn't also have to clean up. That was the rule, although we tended to order out more often than not. Out of the three of us, I did most of the cooking that was done in-house.

While the guys cleaned, I spirited Audrey away even though she moved to help them.

“I should leave now,” I murmured. “I don’t want to leave while it’s light out and risk being seen, but I can’t wait any longer. I’m worried about the others.”

“No,” she said, “I understand. You need to go now.”

“Yes. Now.”

We had been walking toward the front door, but I stood here, hesitating in the hallway in front of my door. She stared up at me, looking so very torn and lovely that I had to pull her close. I had to kiss her one more time and once more and again. What if something should happen?”

“Your room?” she murmured against my lips.

I picked her up, her legs draping over one leg her arms around my neck as I kicked my door open and then shut behind us. In two long strides, I had her on my bed. Two seconds later, I had her skirt lifted, her panties to the side and was licking her wet folds. One of my hands worked its way underneath her shirt to tease and pull on her nipple while the thumb of my other hand circled her clit.

“Ah, oh,” she moaned, and she squirted all over my face. God, I fucking loved it. I licked as much as I could up before climbing onto the bed beside her.

She stared at me, a coy smile on her face. “What do you want from me?” she asked.

“I’ll take what I can get.”

“You get it all,” she said simply.

And I did. I started out with me on top, and then we rolled over, so she was on top. She reversed it, and I came despite myself. There was just something about her tight ass. She kept on riding me, though, and I remained hard. I shifted us around so I could enter her from behind, and it ended up being about an hour until I left, but damn, had she made it worth my while in case this mission of mine should claim my life.

Audrey walked me out the door. Her eyes were dry. Good. I didn’t think she was a crier.

“I love you,” she said simply. “Come back to me.”

“I will,” I said.

I took off, driving in one of the cars we had leased under an alias. Once night hit, I could be my dragon, but until then, I had to pretend I was human.

Although I was already a mile down the road, I murmured, “I will come back. After all, you’ve claimed my heart.”
