She leaned her hand against the doorframe, trying to meet his eyes. When he finally did, it was brief, and he immediately turned to go to his bedroom.
“Wake me anytime,” he said solemnly. “Food should be delivered in the morning, in case you hear anything.”
Hannah nodded, smiling at him, hoping he would turn back. When he didn’t and instead went into his room and closed the door behind him, she let out a long, rumbly sigh.
“For fuck’s sake,” she whispered.
She closed the door and leaned up against it, running her hand through her hair and releasing a few built-up moans. They cascaded through her body like a radio signal, diminishing her sexual frustrations for the time being.
“Okay, get your shit together, woman,” Hannah said to herself.
She had placed her bag inside the room and began going through it, searching for comfortable clothing she could sleep in. She turned on the shower after stripping, taking an extra-long time to take off her bra and underwear.
She knew there was a camera in her room and that Levi probably had access to it. There was a part of her that hoped he was watching her move her hands over her body, caressing her breasts till her nipples hardened and sinking between her legs for a fleeting moment.
Hannah realized that she was scorching with desire. She forced herself into the shower, blasting the icy water to remove the hot and sexy thoughts running through her mind. It startled her for a bit, bringing her back into thinking about the mission.
She dressed and climbed into bed, pushing away the thoughts of the camera in the darkness. She considered touching herself, giving Levi a show, but buried her face in the pillow instead.
“Stop it,” she scolded herself.
Hannah turned up the volume on her phone in case any alerts came in. After hours of tossing and turning, she finally fell asleep to the soft thought of having Levi’s hands all over her body.

LEVI
Levi closed the door of his room and leaned his forehead against it, willing everything within him not to open it and run into Hannah’s room. She was insanely attractive, and after having cheated death, he felt like it was such a horrible waste to keep any desires at bay.
But the situation was an odd one. For one, she was his bodyguard, and it would be immensely inappropriate for him to try hitting on her. It was clear she was trying to focus, and trying anything even remotely close to flirting might set her off again.
Secondly, he might have been blinded by his near-death experience and was latching onto whatever and whoever came into his life next. And that was Hannah.
But she fell into his lap, quite literally, and Levi couldn’t help but hope that there was something fateful about that.
Nonetheless, he remained in his room for the night, showering and hopping into bed to bury his face into the pillow.
He was certainly exhausted, but his mind was racing. For a second, he thought about clicking onto the camera app on his phone and watching her sleep. He knew that wasn’t a good idea, though ... the mere notion of seeing her in a loose T-shirt, eyes closed and relaxed, made his dick twitch in his boxers.
Levi did everything he could to sleep, but all he could do was imagine Hannah lying next to him in bed. He would run his hand up her thigh, bring it to her shoulder, and finally, trace her lips until she couldn’t take it anymore and pulled him on top of her.
“Fuck,” Levi moaned to himself.
He wanted to tell her that it would be safer for her to be in bed with him, just in case anything were to happen. But that was a straight-up lie, and he couldn’t morally accept that.
Eventually, Levi dozed off into a spotty, non-restful sleep, waking up at six in the morning, just before the food delivery was set to arrive. He lay in bed, his eyelids heavy, and decided that he may as well get up to meet the driver.
As he whipped out of bed and got dressed, he got an alert on his phone. He would normally just let the driver, whose name was Chuck, through the gate by pressing a button on his phone. He trusted him implicitly, along with his housekeeper and other landscape workers.
But when he looked at the camera app on his phone, he didn’t only see the truck, but without a shadow of a doubt, he also saw Hannah.
She was completely dressed in her slick, military-style clothing, her muscles piercing through the thin fabric. She looked to be assessing every inch of the truck while giving Chuck a serious bout of questions.
Levi frowned at the camera, then let one side of his mouth curl into a grin. She was certainly doing her job, and fuck, did she look great doing it.
Levi whipped down the stairs to see whereabouts she was in her questioning. He gazed out the window and watched her check out the truck with her arms crossed, bending over and even checking under the truck with her agile, incredible body.
It was too good of a show to look away from.
