Locked once more(Book 2)

Chapter 2

We dress again, kissing each other after. He seems more relaxed. The wrapper is placed back in its sleeve and buried in the trash. It didn't take too long, ten minutes at best. Derek could go a couple of hours, but we were rushed for time. And we knew Tyler would be here any moment. Faith was in the room with us but was not paying any attention, just napping for a moment. We made love when she was in the room; her bed was on the other side. It was easy to make love; she usually didn't pay attention.

Derek and I finished fixing ourselves and waited for Tyler to arrive. We unlock the door as we wait. I knew Derek was working harder than anyone, but he needed to let someone else help him. Maybe he and Wes could get more done once Tyler was around. It would make his life less stressful, letting him rest for a while.

A wrap was at the door, and Derek told them to come in. It was Dwayne. He poked inside the door, letting us know Tyler was there. Derek told him to let him in. He nods, opening the door; Tyler walks in with one duffle bag. It must've been extra clothes. He smiles when he sees Faith; she runs to him, letting him pet her. He looks at me and extends his arms. I look at Derek, and he nods. I run over and hug him quickly.

"Good to see you again," He said like he didn't see me last week when he visited us. We Facetimed when Derek was too busy.

"You too," I said, stepping back to Derek. He moved behind his desk, leaving me and Tyler on the other side of him. He clears his throat, Sitting down. And he tries to hide the fact that we just had sex in this room a few moments ago. I could see his pride, though.

"Now, Tyler, your job is to stay with Addison when she's not with me. Make sure there's no one hiding in the bathrooms, in the pantries, or anywhere that has a door; you will stand guard outside her doors in the mornings when Dwayne is taking his morning nap and then nap for a bit at night; we don't need anyone falling asleep at the post. There will be days both of you will be posted together." Derek stopped, looking between me and Tyler.

"And I'm trusting you, both of you, no monkey business; my father is no joke; if he gets in, we need you on Addison's watch, meaning taking her through the tunnels below and leaving with her until I come to get you once it's safe," Derek finished. Tyler looked at me; I shrugged and nodded. Derek was sexy when barking orders, but it was weird when directed toward Tyler. He's part of the CIA, even if suspended for a few more weeks.

"Okay, I can do that," Tyler said. Derek stands up, nods to him. and extends a hand to Tyler. He was acting more maturely with him. Not as afraid to lose me. After that love we made, he shouldn't be scared.

"Welcome to the team," He said; Tyler shook his hand as if they'd made a deal.

"One more thing before you go, you'll be following her wherever she goes, except to bed and the bathroom, so make sure before she walks in any room that no one suspicious lurks," He said. Tyler nods before looking at me.

"One more question, Derek," I say. He looks at me.

"Do we have a training room? The guys wanted Tyler to train them in case they have to fight for their lives, or, you know," I say, stopping myself. Tyler didn't say a word; he looked at me and then at Derek. Derek looked at me confused but then took a breath, taken back.

"Actually, yes, it's in the basement. You've probably never seen it because it's to the back of the lab, but we do have one, and if Tyler feels the need to train them while also keeping watch on you, that's his business; it isn't locked; feel free to use it," He said. I nod; this was not my Derek. My Derek would have protested the fact that they wanted to fight. But maybe he was only that way with us girls. So, I was going to test that theory.

"Can he train us girls too?" He looks at me and crosses his arms, sitting down.

"If that's what you all want, but you're not staying to fight anyone, though it might prove beneficial to train you," He says. Tyler looked at me and gave me the 'Is he serious' look. He knew, too. Something was off with him. We had made love, and now he's okay with me training with someone who likes me and letting him stay here.
