(from this)
The last thing Jacob Seed expected to see after a long day at the Center was a very dangerous, very naked Deputy sprawled out on his bed.
He immediately grabbed his knife from his thigh holster and prepared himself for an attack; eyes scanning the darkened room for any of her rag-tag allies hiding for an ambush. As the seconds passed and no such attack was forthcoming, he lowered his weapon and stared closer at the Deputy, who had thrown his blanket haphazardly over her torso. At the side of the bed was a bag, and her clothes were draped over the top of it.
At the opposite side of the room, the wide balcony doors were thrown open – her entry method no doubt – and he scowled to himself, cursing his own laxity from the morning. Though, to be perfectly fair, there were very few people in the region who would dare to try and break into Jacob Seed’s bedroom. It just so happened to be his luck that one such anomaly had chosen to take advantage of his lapse in judgement.
He crossed the room, making sure to avoid the floorboard that creaked, and shut the doors as silently as he could. The click of them closing made him cast a glance at the Deputy, but she was thankfully still sleeping soundly; only shuffling slightly in response to the sound.
His eyes watched her closely as he made his way over to her; raising an eyebrow as she unconsciously gripped at his pillow and drew it closer so she could snuggle deeper into it. Jacob tried not to think how long it would take for her smell to fade from his sheets.
The moon was thankfully full enough that a pale stream of light managed to illuminate the room well enough for him to sit down at his chair and still be able to see the clipboard of notes in front of him. If the Deputy was currently stealing his bed for the time being, he thought that he might as well get some work done in the meantime. Jacob Seed was nothing if not efficient.
He tried not to question why he wasn’t just waking her and tossing her out.
