remained silent, focused on watching the boathouse. Willing the boat and Dani to reappear.
“She's got her camera glasses,” Drew came back on the line.
“Huh?”
“Her sunglasses. Cotter says they have a camera in them. She's going to get pictures of the boathouse.” Drew paused and Ty heard him take a breath. “She's so goddamned sharp, but I'm still going to kill her.”
And that was the end of the conversation as Ty heard the distinct click of Drew hanging up. He thought about how much he had in common with the man when it came to Dani. She'd seen an opportunity and grabbed it by the horns. Not only was she buying time for the monitoring machines to finish the scan of the bay, she was going to get pictures of the inside of the boathouse. And whatever else Getz had in there. But despite all this, Ty knew he was going to have a rough time fighting the urge not to shake her when she climbed back on board. Which, he noted with a sigh of relief, would be soon.
The little vixen was on her way back.
Wearing a huge grin.
The four men in the boat probably mistook it for joy at driving their boat. Ty knew better. She was feeling proud of herself for having suckered them and gotten pictures of the inside of the boathouse. And she was going to gloat about it.
“By the look on her face, I can see what our first purchase will be when we head to Monaco next month,” Ty spoke to the men as they pulled up and he reached out to help Dani back on board.
“She did take the name of the maker,” Groucho answered with a slight nod and smile.
Ty pulled Dani up and wrapped an arm around her waist, anchoring her against him. It was a little too late, but still, he needed the feel of her next to him. They stood that way for a while, watching the boat turn, waving to the men, looking for all the world like a harmless, rich couple out for a day of sightseeing.
When the boat full of Getz's men turned back into the boathouse, Ty took Dani's hand and tugged her down below deck. The minute they were out of sight, he pressed her against the wall and kissed her. He didn't care that, through his touch, she would know how worried he'd been when she climbed aboard that boat. He didn't care that she could feel the tremor in his body when he thought about what could have happened to her in the boathouse. And he didn't care that the adrenaline coursing through his body was making him rough and demanding.
The moment he touched her, the only thing he cared about was the feel of Dani against his skin. His hand moved from her bare waist to her thigh, urging her leg around his waist. He needed to feel her, all of her. And when her leg wrapped around him, he pressed against her even harder, feeling her whole body against his. Need surged through him when a little sound escaped her and she pressed back against him, moving her hands from his neck, down his chest and to the button on his shorts. Her mouth was just as demanding against his. The dam had broken and everything they'd been keeping in check broke through in their every touch.
Or tried to. Her hands were on his zipper when his phone vibrated on his hip. They both froze and, for a long moment, their gazes locked. Ty was breathing hard, as was Dani, and he could still feel the heat pouring off of her. The boat rocked beneath them. The phone vibrated again.
Using more will power than he thought he possessed, he pulled back and answered the call.
“She's fine, we're pulling up the monitors,” Ty said. “Dani held them off long enough that we've got a map of the whole bay now.” He was surprised at how casual his voice sounded considering that not one minute earlier he'd been that close to burying himself inside Dani again.
“And it matches the map Jay gave us.” Dani had moved away from him and was looking at the information on the computer screen in front of her.
“We'll head in now,” Ty said, ending the call. He turned to find Dani watching him. A curious expression on her face.
“What?” he asked.
“For a moment there I thought you were going to tell me to never do what I
