Torque leads me up the stairs and to the right, and down a long hallway full of doors. “We’re all the way down here,” he says,. “I’m across the hall, on this side of you is Stone, and at the end is a bathroom, but you shouldn’t need it since you have your own. Though, I will warn you the guys aren’t used to having women up here so you might see some naked asses.”
“What a shame,” I deadpan.
“Smart ass,” he chuckles. He opens my door and then steps back to let me in. “I’ll let you shower and Mom will bring you some clothes. I need to make a few calls before we head for Church.”
“Don’t worry about me. I’m sorry you have to be put out at all.”
He frowns at me. “Izzy, I’m not the type to beat around the bush. If I didn’t want you here, you wouldn’t be here. Now go shower while I try to get shit done and not think about how much I want to be in there with you.”
Then, he grabs me by the back of the neck with one big hand and pulls me close to meet his mouth. The kiss is fast, hard, and all consuming. When he pulls away, his eyes glitter down at me, before he releases me, turns, and walks back down the hall.
I stare after him a moment before I step into my new accommodations, shut and lock the door. I need a cool shower, because I just stepped out of one fire and into another. Now I need to decide if I want to stay in it or run the other way.
