door.  It wasn’t until that moment that she fully became aware of the sounds—it was like a million different insects were out there chirping at her. Probably because they are. She high-tailed it toward the cabin because she did not want to deal with any snakes, and when Saxon opened the front door, she rushed inside.
    “I have a generator out back,” he told her, his voice the deep rumble that made her think far too much about what he’d sound like in bed. “I’ll get it going for you. Just stay here, okay?”
    Wait, he was leaving? “Uh—”
    And he was already gone.
    So she stood there, keeping close to the door because it let the sunshine in, and those chirps and cries got louder and louder. She started to inch deeper into the cabin’s interior. The lights flashed on. She was so startled that she gave a little scream.
    Saxon came running. “Elizabeth!”
    She pressed her lips together.  Embarrassed now, her gaze slid away from his.
    Saxon laughed. It was a kind of rusty sound. “Thought you might have seen a snake. You know…the anaconda kind.”
    Elizabeth’s stare jumped right back to his face. Oh, jeez, that smile of his was back in place. The smile that said, Hi, I’m uber sexy. Don’t you think so?
    He shrugged. “I know the cabin isn’t much, but it’s a safe place.  I’ll make contact with Victor soon, and we’ll see what the next step is for you.”
    She turned around and looked at the cabin. The place was small, but absolutely immaculate. There was a big, dark rug on the floor.  Gleaming, wooden chairs. A table. A bed—one obviously designed to hold a single person, but it had nice, comfy looking pillows on top of it. And there was a bathroom. How much more did she really need?  “It’s perfect.” Snakes and all.
    “Good. You rest here. Try to get some sleep.”
    The floor creaked. She looked back and saw that he’d moved toward the doorway. Uh, oh. “Saxon?”
    “I’ll check in with Victor and be back before you can even miss me.”
    Doubtful. “Saxon—”
    “And I’m sorry about Wesley Locke. Never in a million years would I have wanted you to watch him die.”
    Her breath caught.
    And he—was gone. He’d just shut the door. Locked it, and by the time she got the door unlocked and open, he was already back in the truck. ” Saxon!” He was really just dumping her there? After that kiss? After that whole wanting-her-more-than-breath thing?
    Leaving?
    Her jaw dropped.
    His tail-lights vanished.
    Yes, he’d dumped her.
    The chirps grew even louder. Elizabeth hurriedly shut the door.
    So much for needing her more than breath.  That guy really needed to work on his seduction technique. ‘Cause abandoning a girl in the middle of snake central? So not sexy. So not.
    I’m sorry about Wesley Locke.
    “I’m sorry, too,” she whispered.  She wrapped her arms around her stomach and wondered just what the hell she was supposed to do now. 
    ***
    Since he knew this particular area so well, Saxon knew the exact spot where he’d start getting cell service again. He’d been working the undercover assignment in Miami for the last few months, and he’d been escaping to his cabin whenever he could.
    On the days when I have to escape so I can try to remember who the hell I really am.
    He yanked out his burner phone, and he called Victor. The phone rang, and he tapped his fingers against the steering wheel. The damn truck actually smelled like Elizabeth now. She didn’t just smell like honey, she tasted like that sweetness. He hadn’t been kidding when he’d said that he could just eat her up and—
    “Agent Monroe,” Victor snapped.
    Victor was always snapping. The guy needed to learn how to relax the hell up.  Maybe once Saxon was out of the business, he’d help his friend. “She’s in a safe spot.”   
    Silence. “You’re on a burner.”
    Obviously. What might not be so obvious to Vic… “I’m not liking this whole setup, Vic. I mean, we were found at the
