Chapter 26

"Two, why?" Mac answered.

"Because I can't resist doing this," Kenneth told her as he took her into his arms.

She melted as she felt his lips on hers. Mac was on duty and knew this shouldn't be happening, but she couldn't help herself as her arms crept up around his neck. Knowing how many agents were on duty on the floor and aware of the relative safety of the situation, she still knew that she should never be this distracted while guarding the Stallion.

Mac moaned as their bodies pressed together, he was certainly living up to that name right now! The evidence of his desire was pressed firmly against her belly.

Kenneth gasped air into his lungs as he took a quick step back from Sarah. He began to apologize even as he reached out a hand to steady her from his abrupt departure. "I'm so sorry Sarah, I just can't seem to keep from losing control when I'm around you. I hope you can forgive me."

She watched him trying to calm his raging emotions so they could leave the room without embarrassing himself. It wasn't fair that only his reaction showed. "I don't need or want an apology. I shouldn't have let that happen while I was the one guarding you, but that being said, I lose control in your arms too. I'm just lucky enough that my clothes hide it. Believe me I was as ready for more as you were," she admitted quietly.

"Oh Sarah," he sighed, pulling her close for a comforting hug.

"I know, but we should get back now." She reluctantly pulled away to straighten her clothes and smooth a hand over her hair to make sure it wasn't out of place.

He quickly did the same and with a smile and nod at each other, they were ready to face the rest of the day.

Whether because of the agents heightened alert status or that the threat had just been a hoax, nothing out of the ordinary took place that day. Mac had however stayed on duty longer than her normal shift. Because she had ordered an extra agent per family member that day, she had taken it upon herself to attend the farewell dinner held for Kenneth that evening. The children had been going to bed as it started and had been deeply asleep when Kenneth returned to the hotel.

Mac turned him over to his night guards as he went to look in on the children. She had just undressed and flipped on the TV to catch the late night news when her personal cell phone rang. Wondering who could be calling her, she opened the cell phone to find it was a local call. "Hello?"

"Am I disturbing you, Sarah?" Kenneth's voice came clearly over the line.

She knew he was just down the hall from her and that he had the rest of the evening free, but she was still surprised that he had called her like this. "Not at all," she assured him as she turned off the TV.

"I know we had dinner in the same room tonight, but it wasn't nearly as nice as last night."

"No it wasn't," she admitted.

"I was hoping that if you weren't too tired we might talk for a while?"

"I'd like that," Mac told him sinking down on the bed with a smile. She curled her legs up under her and propped her back against a pillow.

"I'm really looking forward to our ride on Saturday. We are still on for an hour earlier than usual, right?"

"Yes we are, and I'm looking forward to it too, but you know nothing can happen other that us talking, right?"

"I know that you'll be on duty Sarah, and right now I have way too much to live for to take chances with my safety. But I have to admit it would be fun to hear you explain how the super secret ninja assassins managed to sneak up on us in the open field where we were laying on a blanket making love, and how you magnificently saved the day by jumping to your feet and stunning them with the beauty of your superbly naked body. Then while they stood there in open-mouthed awe, you dispatched the entire gang with some well placed ninja kicks of your own and we had just enough time for a soul-shattering kiss before getting our clothes back on just as the rest of the agents arrived to render assistance that you never needed!"
