Chapter 37

“Two…days…”

“We’re to wait for two days? It’s only two days if we count today as one day. It’s the thirtieth, so they’re planning to kill us tomorrow night, right? We have to, not only be away from here, but find all the women before he kills them—tomorrow night!”

Thaddeus blew out a breath. “Kiss.”

“You don’t make sense.”

“Give…me…”

Sandy stilled. “It’s not the most romantic setting.” He dropped to his knees, slid his hand up Thaddeus’ left shoulder, up his neck, until he could caress his jaw with his thumb. “Mine.”

He kissed Thaddeus with everything he had, all his love and worry bleeding into his caresses and strokes. When Thaddeus moaned, he broke the kiss and rested his forehead against his. “I will not lose you. Somehow, we’re stopping them.”

Thaddeus nodded and Sandy jumped back. “You moved!” Thinking back, he realized Thaddeus had been moving during the kiss too, his mouth hadn’t been motionless. “You are getting better.”
