eye contact with him the entire way. He got up and went into the bathroom to brush his own teeth& with
Cat Johnson
John Smith s toothbrush. He tried not to think about that fact, but since she had already raised the issue in
his mind, he used extra hot water to rinse it first.
By the time he emerged from the bathroom, Carly had already changed into the nightie and was
curled on her side and pretending to be sound asleep. Thank God. She was either really on the ball or just
desperate to avoid any more physical contact with him.
Either way, it was the perfect solution to his dilemma. It would simply look like she was tired from
traveling and he being the understanding husband would let her sleep. As long as they were here for only
the one night as planned, he could definitely get away with it. It would look realistic, he hoped.
He d never been married, but judging by what the guys with wives said, sex got less and less frequent
the moment they said I do. Although, glancing at the curve of Carly s body, he couldn t imagine not
jumping her every night of the week if they were together, married or not.
Trey sighed again. There was far too much down time, leaving him ample opportunity to think about
the one thing he needed to avoid. Sex.
Punching his pillow, he repositioned himself. What the hell good was the communication device
implanted in his damn head if he couldn t even ask them a question without being detected by the bad
guy s surveillance? He d never felt so cut off from the team in all his time with them.
It was with that very disgruntled thought in his mind he started to drift off.
Trey. Hey, Williams. Wake up.
Trey controlled the urge to sit straight up in the bed as the voice in his ear startled him out of that
restless place between being awake and asleep. He had wanted to know what was going on with the team.
Be careful what you wish for.
Clearing his throat softly, he let Matt know he was awake and receiving.
We ve got action here, big boy. We found Jimmy. The target has him confined in some sort of
holding area right here in the basement of the hotel. Matt s voice radiated excitement.
Trey s heart rate doubled knowing the action was so close to him. Right here in the hotel.
The bad news is they ve worked him over pretty badly and we don t think they re done yet. We ve
got to get him out, but the area s swarming with the target s men.
His heart fell at that news. Jack must be freaking out and there was not one damn thing Trey could do
to help in his present situation.
We need your help, buddy, Matt continued.
Or maybe there was something he could do. Trey waited for Matt to explain and give him his orders.
He only wished Carly wasn t involved. He d kill or die to save Jimmy for Jack, but he wasn t willing to
risk Carly s life in the process. She was a civilian under his care. Her safety was his priority at the moment,
even over the success of the mission.

Trey
Here s the deal, Trey. They have the surveillance room set up next to where Jimmy is being held.
The guards have been sitting around watching the video feed from your room since you arrived. They ve
taken a liking to your bride. They particularly enjoyed when she changed into that thing she s wearing to
sleep in. Even the guy sitting inside watching Jimmy got called in to watch her put that on.
His jaw clenched at that news.
Trey, I need a diversion and I need it now. We re in place to sneak in through the rear and take
Jimmy out, but we need every guard in the area glued to the monitor of your room.
Trey tried to control his breathing when Matt said what he was afraid he would say. You ve got to
use Carly as a distraction, Trey. It s the only way. Do you copy?
He cleared his throat again. Oh boy. Just when he was all smug thinking they d get away from this op
fairly unscathed. He knew what kind of diversion would keep the guards riveted to the screen. What he
didn t know was how Carly would like it.
The different scenarios ran through his mind. It could go a number of ways. He could make a move on
Carly and she could break character. Slap him or yell or something. With their cover blown, they would
have to use all the firepower they had to grab Jimmy and get the hell out of Dodge.
Or Carly could actually go through with this thing. In that case, he d have to deal with the fact he d
had sex with the girl his best friend thought he might be falling in love with later. Trey would have to find
both a new best friend and a different place to drink when he got home to base. Neither scenario was very
appealing.
Then there was the reality nagging his brain and parts lower that he was trying like hell to suppress.
The truth was he wanted nothing more than to be with Carly right now. The idea of giving into the sexual
attraction and sinking into her was extremely appealing. Consequences be damned.
He didn t want a girlfriend, he reminded himself again for the umpteenth time, but damn it, he wanted
Carly. Apparently he didn t care how he got her and that made him feel even shittier. Worse, the fact his
teammate plus a room full of terrorists would be watching them together didn t even put a damper on his
desire. In fact, it made it all the more exciting. That reaction scared him half to death.
Now was not the time to over-think his sudden desire for exhibitionism. Jimmy was possibly being
tortured while he delayed.
Trey had left the bathroom light on with the door ajar so he could see, but he d need more
illumination for his audience s sake. He reached out into the semi-darkness until his hand found the light
switch. After turning on the bedside lamp, he rolled toward Carly. The nightie was cut very low in the back.
Actually, in the front too, but he couldn t see that in her current position. Trailing a finger lightly down her
