Chapter 52
Mich opened her eyes and sighed. Her mind was already spinning over at the cost of the night spent at home. Though he would have understood if she had gone out, Mich had chosen to stay home with Horatio instead of trying to catch the Lynx.
Her mind told her that it was the worst thing she could have done. The Lynx would be a step closer to the man she loved – and his life was not worth that risk. Yet still she had stayed home, Horatio had needed her, needed to feel alive – and that was a situation she understood only too well.
She carefully moistened her dry lips, feeling the slight bruising where he had caught her with his hard kisses in his anger and frustration. She was also a little sore elsewhere, but that did not bother her in the slightest – they had both needed the release and the rough play they had indulged in had certainly left its mark on him too.
Rolling over she smiled at the peaceful look on Horatio’s face, finally he had managed to sleep the whole night through – the first time in over a week. Other nights had found him staring out of the window, or going through files on his laptop, which only increased the frustration.
As she watched, the pale eyelashes fluttered and opened slowly. Eyes, at first deep blue reflecting his contentment, became paler, almost steel toned as his mind began to wake up and prepared for the new day. A glance at the clock made him begin to move, but Mich wasn’t going to release Horatio just yet. Catching his arm, she pulled him back down, kissing him softly.
“Mich… I have to go.”
The soft smile and tender look she gave him made Horatio pause for a moment and he began to chuckle softly, the eyes again becoming darker. Turning to his back, he pulled Mich onto his chest and sighed, “I guess I could do with an extra ten minutes down time.”
Mich chuckled, “We can grab breakfast on the way in…”
Horatio was startled, “We?”
“I’m coming with you Horatio, the team might have something I can use – tonight I really have to go out, you know that.”
Horatio sighed, saying nothing as nothing needed to be said.
&&
The lab certainly did have something for them that morning… Three more bodies all killed by the Lynx’s toxic darts. Mich almost began to swear, but the powerless look in Horatio’s eyes all but ripped her apart and she was glad she had stayed with him.
Frank was furious, partly with the stake out team, but more so with himself for allowing the Lynx to slide out of his clutches. Calleigh mollified him slightly, pointing out that they had managed to get some valuable information from the Lynx’s room.
“She appears to be highly disorganised in her everyday life.” The video showed that the Lynx was in general an untidy person – clothes, papers and shoes scattered around her hotel room.
Mich started to chuckle making her friend smile, “Unless of course I am missing out on an obvious spy ploy to check that no-one has been in my room while I’m away.”
Mich grinned, “It’s a good thing you understand what you’re up against Cal, it would be almost impossible to walk through that room without disturbing something – and she would have known for sure that someone is on to her.”
“I think she does anyway.”
Mich turned as she, Calleigh, Frank and Horatio were joined by the rest of the team. As Ryan continued to speak, Mich narrowed her eyes at Eric, realising that he had allowed the younger man and Natalia into the investigation.
Ryan caught the look, “Mich, did you think that I wouldn’t find out why you’d asked for your blades back?”
Mich pulled a face, Ryan’s curiosity was sometimes a little too much, “so why did Natalia join in?”
Ryan flushed a little and Natalia’s sideways glance showed that she too was a little uncomfortable. Noticing the exchange Horatio’s eyes rolled skyward as Mich began to chuckle, “Ah… I see, better not let Stetler find out…”
A sound almost like a growl issued from Horatio’s throat, ‘Don’t worry about him…”
Natalia gave Horatio a look that was part amusement, part relief. She had been a little wary of getting into a more serious relationship with Ryan than before, but she also knew that her boss was not happy with his own personal situation. Maybe a battle with Stetler was what he needed to distract him for the moment.
The junior CSI spoke up. “We also found something that you might find interesting.”
