Finding the heart part 4

She awoke much later still in the chair and only awoke because she felt two hands then arms wrap around her. Through heavy lids, she tried to open, but she couldn't it felt as if she was drugged. She knew somewhere in her soul she wasn't; she could just relax now that they were back, six months of running nearly on empty, she could finally rest. She had the feeling of being swept up into an unknown set of arms and lifted into the air like a child. She would have customarily resisted the gesture, but tonight at this moment in time she not even half awake snuggled into the arms and probably what was a hard muscled chest. A feeling she rarely felt of feeling complete at ease took over. The scent of him went over her, and she sighed and settled back to sleep in a matter of seconds.

"Silly girl.", he said as he noticed she had moved enough deeper into his hold. "You won't hurt as much in the morning, this way."

"Mmmhmm.", she hummed as she went deeper into sleep.

"Now where exactly is your room?", he said to himself as he realized she hadn't followed them into the room area last night. "Wonderful, Where shall I put you then?"

"Sleeping.", she said still asleep to which he laughed.

"Princess, I can see that.", He said as he nuzzled her closer. He was the man no one thought could feel, that he was cold and uncaring. He was never spotted with a woman; he had little use for them. This tiny slip of a woman who was so different than him had the complete control over him and his sense. He had watched her throughout the day and the night prior, somewhere in that he had viewed his heart and soul, what was left of that, walk right over and hand themselves to her. If he was honest with himself, he knew it was the second he saw her as they all had unpiled from the wormhole. He saw her as she was, a beautiful woman who was smart and willing to care. He decided that bringing her to his room wouldn't be a good option as would not like the outcome, he wouldn't mind watching over her sleep, but if someone else saw her in there, it could cause trouble. He settled in the long chair they had been sitting on watching the wall box. He knew they had names, but he didn't care to learn them. He settled back into the soft cushions still with her in his arms sleeping soundly next to the chest and the heart that beat for her.

She woke up when she heard her phone going off. It seemed far away, but the sound was one that she had woke up to many times before. She stretched as much as she could and opened her eyes to look into a set of unusual yellow orbs looking back at her. "what?", she said as she was still waking up.

"I tried to move you to your room.", he said softly; she could feel his long fingers in her hair. "You fell asleep in the chair as you worked. There was a slight problem though."

"What was that?", she asked.

"I wasn't informed on which room was yours.", He said now softly chuckling. She couldn't accurately hear it, but she more felt it.

"My phone?", she asked.

"Still in your office.", he said as he let her go as she stood.

"Damn.", She said as she walked out of the office and he shot her a look. She began to press buttons and then held it to her ear. "Hey, it's me. Sorry I was dead."

"I have a patient for you.", the voice said on the other line.

"I have twenty-two patients currently.", she said.

"Oh really? Your mission?", the voice said.

"Its progressing.", she replied.

"Well I am sorry, but I definitely need your help with this one. Not your normal case but one right up your alley.", the voice said.
