They used the same method, Gabe and Lexi curled up in the back of the SUV until they got to the basement parking at the office building. It was a controlled lot, both Luke and Molly having to show their identifications before the guards would open the gate. Before they were parked, Lexi was sitting up and pulling the blanket off, happy to be out from the confining darkness. She’d barely been able to breathe, for Gabe’s spicy scent seemed almost too strong under the blanket, reminding her all too well of how they made the last trip this way. She’d barely spoken to him since he’d come down the stairs, but she’d done her job, instructing Gabe about what would be happening and what was expected of him. She’d pulled the blanket over them, turning her back away from him so that she wouldn’t be able to see his heated brown gaze or hear the words he’d spoken to her before. Her heart was pounding so hard, she was amazed he hadn’t commented on it, but he’d been as tight lipped as she’d been, reinforcing the thought in her mind it had been no more than an act for him.
