Nikki couldn’t stop pacing or sit down, she was freaking out that Simon had agreed to meet Lopez to exchange his sister for the remaining missiles. It took several texts to break Lopez, but in the end, he relented knowing Simon wouldn’t. She also knew with every fiber of her being that Lopez was setting a trap for Simon and he didn’t seem to mind in the least. He had been gone for several hours getting ready for the meeting and Nikki heard him coming through the house.

Simon walked into the room and that smile that Nikki wanted to use as her screen saver greeted her. If anything, her heart rate just shot up even more. Simon planted a steamy kiss on her lips and trailed kisses down her neck. No fair with the distractions, he knows just what that does to her. Nikki reluctantly pulled back from the embrace and looked him in the eyes,

“You know he’s going to try and ambush you don’t you?” worry drawing her brows together. Simon just smiled and gently cupped Nikki’s face in his large hands and brought her eyes up to meet his,

“I’m counting on it Butterfly.” He took her hand and lead her to the couch where he sat and pulled Nikki down to his lap and wrapped his strong arms around her. For the first time that day, Nikki’s pulse finally slowed to a semi normal beat.

“I can’t help but worry, after all I have learned about Lopez and this gang, they are less than human.” shaking her head.

Simon squeezed her a little tighter. “McShay is sending the 2 snipers I asked for isn’t he?”

“They will be where you specified by 8 pm”. She said releasing a breath she didn’t realize she was holding. Simon got that glint in his eye that meant the Rage was awake,

“Then everything will be just fine. If only we could think of something to do to pass the time until we have to leave….” she knew that resistance was futile so Nikki wiggled around a little on Simon’s lap until they found something to keep them busy
