Once they got upstairs, Kaitlyn went to the window while Gabriel checked the room out. Just in case. He wasn't exactly sure what he was looking for, but everything these days made him nervous, on edge. Claire had been accommodating, sure, but so had other people in his life. People that he thought he had looked up to. They ended up screwing him over.
The room was warm and it was welcoming considering they had just walked through the storm to get here.
"You found it. I just followed," he said, glancing over at her as she walked into the bathroom. He heard the water come on and that soft sigh escape her lips. He smiled as he started going through his bag and she came back out, confirming what he had already guessed. She closed the distance between them, wrapping her arms around him and he tipped his chin down, kissing the top of her head.
"Yeah, give me a minute," he said and she disappeared into the bathroom. He set his bag on the floor and walked over to the window. There were a lot of people in Everett from what Claire had said. What if Rob and the rest of them had found this place. What if Frost and Jackal Mac did? He narrowed his eyes at that.
I'm coming. Her voice cut through his thoughts and he headed to the bathroom where she was already in the shower. He undressed and got in behind her as his eyes raked over her body. It'd been a while since he'd seen her like that. It'd been awhile since they both had a hot shower though too.
