Chapter Twelve

Cait

Tracker’s features twisted with guilt before he quickly shuddered his expression.

“Well? You have some explaining to do.” I needed to know where all this was coming from.

Finally, he sighed loudly. “Because I was asked to carry out the hit.”

I felt like I had been hit in the gut. He was asked to kill me? “Y-you're a hitman?” I asked shakily.

“I am. I did not tell you because I wanted to protect you.”

“Well, that fucking worked out for you,” I snapped at him. I could not help it; I was on edge.

“So, what now?” I asked.

“I'm not sure.” I wanted to be honest. One thing was, we did not have much time. I needed to get her safe. I had never tried to buy out a contract before. That was my next step. I had never heard of it being done before, but I had to try .

I took my work phone out and typed a reply to the info they sent me:

Is there an option to buy the contract?

I waited as the minutes went by. I could tell by the stricken look on Cait's face that she was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that I was a murderer. I wanted to go to her and wrap her in my arms, but I could not. She needed to come to terms first. If she decided to turn away from me, hell, even turn me in, there was nothing I could do about it.

I could see the myriads of emotions flitting across his face. I wanted him to hold me and tell me it would be okay. But he did not. He stayed at a safe distance. Did that mean he did not want me anymore?

I should be more appalled at his profession, but all I could think of was how safe he made me feel. He made me feel needed and wanted. That is all I ever wanted.

I walked over to him and stood on my tiptoes kissing him softly. He kissed me back urgently. His intensity pushed me forward. I took his shirt off him as he ripped mine off me. He stopped only for a moment to grab a condom as I finished undressing. Laying me on the bed, he peppered me with kisses down my neck and onto my breasts. He tugged and teased the nipples, starting with the right then moving to the left. Moaning in his ear when he came back up to kiss my mouth just spurred him on.

His fingers slid down, opening my slit, finding my clit. I was thrusting my hips into him begging him for more. He put my legs around his neck then drove deep inside of me. I was in sheer ecstasy feeling him drive deeper and deeper. It did not take long for my release which milked his cock of his orgasm. He released my legs, stepped back, then laid down with me in his arms. We were both spent. Overwhelmed with information and utterly drained from making love, we drifted off to sleep.
