between Blair and the door, their shoulders touching, shielding her.

Its Tanner, a voice called as a knock sounded.
Paula opened the door just enough to check outside, blocking the view into the room. After a second, she swung the
door open and Tanner Whitley strode in with her characteristic saunter, a strikingly beautiful blonde in a naval uniform
by her side.

Mac, Tanner said.  I trust the trip went all right? Without waiting for an answer, she kissed Blair soundly on the
mouth.  You look terrific.

You dont look too shabby either, Blair said, thinking that with her windblown dark hair, piercing dark eyes, and
muscular build Tanner looked every inch the playgirl she had once been, rather than the head of a huge corporate
conglomerate and the owner of Whitley Island. As usual, she was dressed in casual pants, an open collar shirt, and
well-worn black boots. Blair smiled at the blonde who held Tanners hand. Adrienne was more than a decade older than
Tanner, and Blair had only to see Tanner with Adrienne to know that the new peace in Tanners eyes was entirely due
to Adriennes presence in her life. The gold wedding bands they wore only affirmed what was obvious from seeing
them together.

Hello, Adrienne. How are you? The last time Blair had seen Adrienne had been immediately after 9/11. Adrienne had
been spending almost all of her time at the nearby naval base where she was stationed.
 Slightly less crazy than last time we met.
 I wish we werent always dropping in on you quite so unexpectedly.
Adriennes calm blue eyes held Blairs.  Were happy to have you, anytime, under any circumstances.
Blair was certain that Cam would not have confided any of the details surrounding their precipitous
return to Whitley Point to Tanner, and she knew that Tanner would not have asked, but she understood
Adriennes message. Without even knowing the circumstances, Adrienne and Tanner would be there for
them, whenever they were needed. To her horror, Blair felt her eyes sting with tears.  Thank you.
 Tanner, darling, Diane said, kissing Tanners cheek.  Thank you for the wine and other essentials in the
guest house. She extended her hand to Adrienne.  Thanks for taking such good care of us.
 If you need anything else that our security people cant get for you, just let us know. Well see to it.
 How are you at pinochle? Blair asked.
Stark groaned. Adrienne smiled.

Just after midnight, the door to Blairs bedroom opened slowly and a thin shaft of pale yellow light
slashed across the room.
 Cam?
 Hi baby, Cam said.  Did I wake you?

Blair rolled onto her side and turned on the bedside lamp. She canted the shade so that most of the light
angled away from the bed and then sat up.  No. I wasnt sleeping. Are you all right?
 Beat, but okay. Cam sighed as she crossed to the bed.  Im going to take a shower and talk to Stark
for a while, then Ill
 You dont have to shower and you can wait until tomorrow to talk to Stark. I want you to just come to
bed.
Cam hesitated.  Okay. Ill wait until the morning briefing to check in with Stark. But the shower isnt
optional.
 I like the way you smell, Blair said, folding back the covers and patting the bed beside her.  If you dont
get in here soon, Im going to think youre avoiding me.
 The only thing Ive been thinking about for the last twelve hours is you. Cam kissed Blair, put her
weapon in the top drawer of the bedside table, and undressed rapidly.  But Im still going to shower. Ill
be back in a few minutes.
Blair waited until she heard the shower running and then followed Cam into the bathroom. When Cam stepped out of
the enclosure and reached for the towel that Blair held, Blair shook her head.  You just stand still. Ill do this.

You know what Id really like? Cam said as Blair toweled her hair and then wiped her face and neck.

No, darling, what? Blair bit back a murmur of concern when she saw that the bruises on Cams shoulder and hip had
spread, darkening in the centers to almost black.

Id like that massage. Im too damn tall to sleep in the back of an SUV.
Blair knew that if Cam was asking, she was more than stiff from sleeping in the car. She was hurting.  I think that can
be arranged. She dried Cams chest and stomach, then her back. Kneeling, she gently smoothed the towel over Cams
buttocks, down the outside of her legs, over her calves, and up her inner thighs.  Turn around, darling.
Slowly, Cam turned. She skimmed her fingers through Blairs hair and then over her cheek.  Feels good.
Tenderly, Blair dried Cams thighs and hips, taking care with the bruise on the right side.  Youre so beautiful.

Lets go to bed, Cam said thickly.
Blair rose, her nipples tight beneath the T-shirt she had worn to bed.  Come on, Im not done yet. She took Cams hand
and led her into the bedroom.  Lie on your stomach and get comfortable.
Cam complied, pillowing her head on her folded arms. When Blair knelt next to her, she said,  Arent you getting
undressed?
