"I love it here.", Lori said as she leaned over the balcony on the deck.
"I know it is your favorite place.", Mike replied.
"No, it isn't.", she smiled as she turned to him.
"Really then where?", He asked as he looked at her as she smiled. He never got over that feeling of pure happiness from just seeing that smile she only gave him.
"Next to you is my favorite place.", she said as she stuck out her tongue and turned away to look over to the lake again.
"Oh really?", he said low and in her ear as he came to stand behind her.
"Mike you know that is my favorite place.", she said without turning to look at him.
"Is that why you asked to come out here this weekend?", he asked.
"No.," she smiled.
"Then why?", He asked as she usually just said let's go to the lake house for a quick getaway but this time she had made a big deal about going. She

The meeting had already started. She was late as she looked at her watch for the thousandth time in the past five minutes. If only, she thought for a second as she pulled into the spot in the massive parking lot. If only she had left a half an hour earlier, if only she had got a map of the base, if only she hadn't decided to take on this job, if only.She walked as fast as she could weighted down by her computer bag and her arms full of books related to the project. She made it to the building as she pulled out the identification badges the guard held the massive door open for her as smiled and thanke

"So, this is the place you got for me to spend six months in?", she asked as she looked around."Yeah, it's cozy. Right?", Her boss looked at her.

======================================================+===============Four hours later they were still playing the games. She had tried to lay down on the bed, but it was no use, they were just too loud. She was at her wit's end. She got up and went over to the door. No one was paying attention to her as she made her way outside. She went over one door and knocked softly. If he was already asleep, she didn't want to wake him. The door swung open to reveal him in a pair of sleep pants and nothing else.

The light usually woke Mike up in the morning as the blinds didn't do much to block out the light but today, he looked out the windows and saw it was dark still. He wondered what woke him up then as he went to roll back over and he couldn't move. He was pinned to the spot by a gentle weight on his chest. He was confused for a moment. He ran his hand lower on his chest and found a head of hair. She was on him. The blanket that he had placed on her she managed to kick off during the night and got cold. She had moved to him for warmth. He was smiling now. He knew he should move and place her back on her side of the bed, for her own comfort and for his sanity. If Frank and Steven found out he had slept with their idol, there would be problems within the team. For a few minutes, how

The ride over to the buildings was short, but it had been filled with exciting conversation that most of the people within the van had no idea what they were talking about. She read the room again and tried to steer the conversation in a different way, but both Frank and Steven always brought it back to a scientific base. These were the two that thought of her as a celebrity she knew instantly. She smiled her usual smile when the van finally stopped."Training will begin in about two hours I believe unless the schedule changed, again.", She said to them as Mike had waited by the door to reach up and o

*************************************+**************************************Lori walked into the small briefing room to be greeted by the three other people, and she sat down and waited for everything to begin. She was the only one not in uniform which made the others look her over closely. Her boss walked in and sat next to her as they waited for some of the others. "You look well rested.", He stated."I am.", She said, "No thanks to you."

"We will discuss this more after training, Princess," Mike said as he looked her over. "There has to be a reasonable explanation, but I don't think we should ask your team at this moment.""You don't?", she asked as she tried to study him."Not in this case." He said."Why not?", She asked tilting her head. He stopped thinking as he looked at

She began her instruction as she did with every class by introducing herself and making everyone do the same. Halfway through she started to tune everyone out as she became lost in her own thoughts again."Am I really going to just move in with a stranger?", she thought. "I have done stranger things in the past but really? Of course, I am. My life is on the line. Shouldn't I let him try to protect me on some level from a threat I don't know about? One that seems a little too close to home, and the one that may be in my home?"

When he saw, she was ready, and he had packed up what was left of the food and clothes he had bought he led her to the car and helped her in. She looked at her phone but decided that it was best if she left it off for a little while instead laying her head back and closing her eyes. She didn't think she would hate going back to real life instead of her idyllic vacation, but a part of her didn't want to go back at all. The other part wanted nothing more than to go back and try to see what this thing with Mike was really. She was trying not to dissect everything instead just enjoy the feeling of what was blooming around them. She was happy, and it had been a long time since she had felt free with her emotions and feelings.

Mike stared at the ceiling as he felt the small weight settle onto the right side of his chest. His arms were draped over her as she slept soundly in her favorite spot it seemed. He needed her there. He realized though he was beyond spent he couldn't fall asleep. He was listening to the sounds of her breathing, and he was thinking about the day to come. He knew that wasn't going to be a good scene when he told the other two of his plans to keep her with him, or the fact he had somehow won her heart in the process of saving her. She was too good for him. He knew that they knew that, hopefully, she nev

She moved his shirt to cover her again, and he chuckled. "That is not a bad sight, but do keep it covered.

Lori awoke in Mike's arms as she felt his hands in her hair gently separating and knots that were there. Lori lifted her head and smiled at him as she saw the look in his eyes and her heart soared. The pair didn't speak as he moved her closer and whispered, "Go back to sleep. Tomorrow will probably be another long day."She snuggled into his chest and sighed contently. He chuckled a bit as he moved with her onto his side. "Are you cold?", he asked."No, you keep me rather

"Now who are you going to call?", he asked."My boss.", she said."Why are you going to call him?", He asked."His name is not listed anywhere in the files Mike. He is also uncompromised.

After what seemed to be days they had gone through the papers and highlighted every part they deemed essential to revealing the threat to her and what the company that had hired those around her to do. It was plainly apparent to anyone when they read through the papers. This was a planned attack that had taken years to achieve. A piece five years ago highlighted having her brought onto the team. A bit four years ago stated she was the only thing that could save the company. Three years ago, when she turned them down, flat the emails concerning her took a turn for the more dramatic.
