DREAMS: Keeper of the Stars Chapter 17, a sue thomas: fb eye fanfic

Chapter 17

His eyes scanned the room, trying to take it all in as he watched the activity around him. Along with the rest of the team, he'd waited years for Sue and Jack to admit their feelings for each other. While they still tried to hide it, because of bureau rules, it was nice to see them finally together.

However, the New Englander had been totally blown away by the announcement made by Bobby and Tara while they were undercover in Austin. Always one to think he was observant; Myles had been floored with the news his two co-workers planned to get marry before returning to DC.

While the men waited for the girls to get ready in the small Texas chapel, Myles asked the tall Aussie why such a rush since they weren't even waiting for their families to come. Thinking he was unflappable, he was stunned by his friend's simple answer.

"Life's too short, mate," Bobby responded with a smile, adjusting his tie in the mirror. Though a seemingly effortless statement, the look on his face when the girls reappeared told everyone that just breathing for the tall agent had become a chore.

The looks exchanged during the ceremony between Bobby and Tara, as well as Jack and Sue, were enough to make the single man cringe. However, Myles had to admit he was being a little taken in, wondering if he'd ever find that kind of love himself.

Paired with the saucy Texan for dinner at a local restaurant that served as the newlywed's reception, he tried to keep to himself until it was time that he could make a graceful exit. That was until Hannah decided to take the stage with the band as his upbringing prevented him from leaving before she returned.

Oh great another country song, Myles through sarcastically, part of him wondering what did he expect in Texas. His eyes on his co-workers, he listened as Hannah began to sing.

If I could grant
You one wish
I'd wish you could see the way you kiss
Ooh, I love watching you
Baby, when you're driving me crazy

Ooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see the way you love me
The way you love me

Myles' attention turned back toward Hannah as she moved with the song, her body swaying back and forth to the beat. Her eyes dance as she moved from the newlyweds to Jack and Sue almost as if she was singing the song for them.

It's not right
It's not fair
What you're missing over there
Someday I'll find a way to show you
Just how lucky I am to know you

He watched in feigned amusement as Hannah sang, her voice enchanting everyone in the room. Myles had to admit he was taken back a little when she suddenly turned and deposited herself on his lap, singing the last few lines of the song as she caressed his cheek tenderly with her fingers. Her gentle touch sent waves of electricity through him that he'd never felt before.

You're the million reasons why
There's love reflecting in my eyes

Ooh, the way you love me
The way you love me

As the song finished, a thunderous applause filled the room. Excitedly, Hannah threw her arms around his neck pulling Myles into a tight hug. Acting on reflex, his arms went around her slender waist, shocking him at how tiny she really was.

This is the same woman who had me pinned and begging for mercy in seconds, Myles thought in awe as he slowly released her, his hands settling on her hips. Her face was only inches from his when he looked at her, his eyes drawn to her lips as her tongue darted out to wet them.

What is she doing to me? he wondered as his head dipped towards hers. Even as his fingers stiffened at her waist pulling her toward him, Myles could feel him breath quicken with anticipation of the first touch of his lips to hers.

"Hannah," Myles whispered huskily as he watched her eyes drift shut, his breath heavy on her lips.

"Myles?" Jack called above the noise of the beeping hospital machines. "Can you hear us, Myles?" he asked, glancing briefly at Sue who was leaning over the other side of the bed.

The tall New Englander lay pale against the white sheets, his bandaged arm just above the covers. While not fully awake, Myles was obviously agitated as his head turned back and forth on the pillow, his eyelids fluttering.

"It looks like he's dreaming," Sue mentioned, her hand running soothingly across his uninjured arm. "What could have him so upset?" she wondered, not even looking up at Jack for his answer.

Sue leaned forward expectantly as Myles' lips began to move. He was mumbling so she couldn't quite make it out and glance toward Jack for help. The strange look on the dark-haired agent's face had her worried.

"Jack, what is it?" Sue asked, reaching across the bed to touch his arm. "What did he say?"

"I'm not sure," Jack replied confused, leaning down closer when Myles started again. "It can't be," he finally uttered, standing up.

"What? Can't be what?" Sue questioned, the panic evident in her voice and on her face.

"I swear he just called out for Hannah," Jack breathed disbelievingly. "And it didn't sound like he was too upset to me," he added, his face showing the shock.
