Falling for the Bossy FBI Man (Kiss him or kill him?) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

They pulled into her building’s lot fifteen minutes later, and this time she purposely bailed out of the car before he could make it around to her side to open her door.They were in the elevator before Leah turned to him and abruptly asked, “So, do you?”“Do I what?”“Think Robert’s car exploding was accidental?”He held her gaze but remained silent.She pressed the button for the fourth floor, and concentrated on the lights illuminating the panel, trying not to be drawn in by his presence.At last, the doors opened, and she led the way down to her apartment. Leah rummaged for her keys as they walked, and she’d just pulled them out and stepped forward toward the lock when she found herself flung backward, and his strong, wide frame blocking her view.“What the...” she started to say, but Fuller softly said, “It’s already open. Stay out here.”She watched, partly fascinated and partly uneasy as he silently drew his weapon, then eased the door all the way open and slipped inside.Leah

It was the wrong thing to say.Ears back, she tiptoed and stretched as far as she could, grinning in triumph when her hand closed around her suitcase handle.“Hah!” she grunted as she hefted the luggage high enough to clear the side of the truck. “One down, one to go.”On her next pass, she found she was only grabbing air. Undeterred, she stepped around him to move to the tailgate, lowered it, and clambered up into the bed of the truck to retrieve Shannon’s suitcase.“I would have helped you,” he said softly as he held out a hand to her to assist her descent.“I can handle things just fine by myself, Agent Fuller,” she retorted, and ignored his hand and jumped.“I have no doubt of that at all,” he replied sincerely, and caught her off guard.Feeling oddly pleased by his comment, she grabbed one suitcase and let him take the other one, and they followed Pete and Shannon into the house.They walked in just in time to hear Pete say he was taking Shannon upstairs so she could rest, and Le

Leah, Pete and Shannon sat down to their meal, purposely keeping the conversation light as they ate. When they were done, Leah insisted on clearing the table and cleaning the kitchen up while the other two settled in the living room. Pete leaned back in the recliner while Shannon got comfortable on the couch.I’m beat, I’m going to bed, she wrote to Shannon and vocalized to Pete before she headed upstairs to the second room on the right, where her suitcase and a very comfortable-looking bed waited.Suddenly exhausted, Leah changed into pajamas then crawled under the covers, and was sound asleep in less than five minutes.Almost immediately, her brain began to play some very interesting scenes – her and Larry, laughing over dinner together. Her and Larry, walking hand-in-hand. Her and Larry, tangled in an embrace in candlelight as a light rain spattered against the bedroom window.***When Larry returned to his office, he found his lead IT man, Bruce, waiting for him.“Hey,” Bruce said

“She’s worried about me?” Larry said out loud as he stared at the screen. She’d stymied him with that statement almost as much as her playful ‘what are you wearing’ question.I’m good, I promise, he finally typed back.If I get there and you look tired, you’re in big trouble, mister.I’ll try, okay?Okay. See you soon.Larry put the burner phone on the charger right next to his work phone and stretched out again on the bed, thinking about the dream that had seemed so real.Funny part is, I have absolutely no idea how to dance, he acknowledged. But for her, I’d definitely be willing to learn...He drifted back to sleep still thinking about it. His next dream of spending time alone with Leah was set in a dimly lit bedroom, watching her face come alive with passion as his hands and tongue explored her body.***His alarm went off at ten minutes to four, and he purposely set the water temperature to cold when he turned on the shower to help combat the erection his dream of Leah had cause

Leah sniffled after a while, then tilted her head up to look at him.“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I got your shirt all wet.”“It’s fine,” he murmured, and started to wipe her tears, but she flinched, withdrew from him, and did it herself using the hem of her t-shirt.Seeing her flinch hurt his heart.What happened to you? he started to ask but caught himself.No. Don’t force it. She’ll share when she’s ready.“I think I see lights,” she said, sniffling one last time. “Are they here?”Larry pivoted to follow where she pointed.“Looks like it,” he confirmed, and grabbing his night vision binoculars, took a closer look.“Pete,” he said on the walkie. “Headlights coming in.”To Leah he said, “You take these, and keep watching. I need to get the rifle ready,” and handed her the binoculars.He turned his attention back to his weapon and had it fully assembled and ready to use in under sixty seconds. He moved to the half-window opening in the blind and attached the night vision scope, then t
