Her Daring Protector (Her Protector Alpha Male Military Romance Book 3) (3 page)

"Is it okay for me to be relieved that that's the explanation you were traipsing around the hotel naked?"

"Jesus Rory I had a robe on. What's the difference f if I came back from the pool in a bathing suit and a towel?" The thought Dana's question put in his head didn't seem to rest easy with him either. "I'll shower."

"Do that at my place. We have to go. I want to get you secure and I have things to do," he replied before adding, ‘please."

Dana wanted to ask him ‘you really can't spare me five minutes to take a shower?' but she thought better of it. It was going to be awkward staying at the place of a man she banged silly after knowing for a couple of hours and now apparently had fallen out with. But she knew deep down it was the safest place for her to be. She would just find a remote corner and make herself scarce. But then something occurred to her. "Rory doesn't your sister still live with you? How are you going to explain me? Won't she be upset you have a random woman in your house suddenly?"

Rory nearly flew of the handle. It wasn't a noisy display of anger, rather stealth, shift in energy that she recognized as his temper. "Thank you for your concern," he said formally. "Your point is well taken. But I wouldn't have you in the house if it wasn't okay."

Dana was shaken, unsure what she'd said that was so terrible, afraid to ask. "Of course."

"Please get your clothes on or I will do it for you."

"Rory, how long do I have to stay at your place?"

"I don't know. Not more than a week, I am guessing."

"I think it may just be the longest week of my life, yet."

He groaned, flexing his muscles absently. "Yours and mine both."
