Chapter 54

The game continued as planned. Brie tried to have a good time and let the game take her mind off of the fact that her brother had been captured and tortured by the very people that he was really working for.

An hour or so later, she just couldn't focus. "I think I'm gonna turn in for the night. Care to join me?" she whispered to David.

"Yeah, I'm starting to get a little bored myself. Let's go", he whispered back. "We're gonna head on upstairs for the night. See you assholes in the morning... any woman in the crowd is excluded from that asshole comment; that was only for your husbands", David said to the groups as he stood. He took Brie's hand and went up the stairs with her.

Once they were on the other side of their bedroom door, David pulled Brie tightly against him. "What's wrong?" he whispered in her ear.

"I need a better distraction than stupid hangman", she said quietly.

"I think that can be arranged", David said, a wicked grin crossing his face. He brought a hand up to tilt her face up toward his and kissed her oh so gently. She relaxed into his touch and let him slowly devour her mouth. Her hand roamed of the sculpted plains of his chest and stomach through the shirt he was wearing. She wasn't touching enough skin, so she tugged the shirt up so that she could get contact with his skin. God, he was so warm. She just couldn't get over how warm he was to the touch. She lifted his shirt free of his body and let it drop the floor.

They laid there in their bed, just enjoying each other’s company. She love it when he just held her and said nothing. In that moment, nothing needed to be said. She sighed contently.

"Is everything ok?" he asked

"Shh. I was enjoying the silence." She snuggled in closer to his body.

"Ah, so I should just shut up, huh?"

"Good idea." She took another deep breath in and sighed again. "Mmmm, this is the life." As they laid there, she slowly drifted off to sleep, and he was not far behind her.

David's phone rang in the middle of the night. "Fuck!" he cursed under his breath. "Don't people look at a clock before they make phone calls?" He found his pants after carefully prying his arm from under Brie's head, and pulled his phone from his pocket. "Hello?" he answered sleepily.

"David, it the General. He's free and being debriefed. Tell Brie that I'm sorry it took so long, but I had to pull a few strings."

"This couldn't wait until morning, General? It's", David looked at the clock on Brie's bedside table, "3:00 am."

"I'm sorry to wake you like this, but I wanted to let you know as soon as I could that I have your brother- in- law and that he's safe."

"Thanks, General. I'm going back to sleep now." David hung up, laid his phone on his bedside table and went back to sleep.
