Huh?

What did that mean?

I look from Jake to Jesse in confusion.

His eyes are narrowed, head cocked to the side as he watched Jake’s hand on mine.

The knot in my throat is back, every nerve in my body is asking me to pull away from Jake, but Jesse doesn’t own Jake, I have known him for longer, why would I pull away from my team member because a suspect doesn’t like it?

Jake tugs on my arm, jerking me out of my head.

He walks out of the room with me in tow.

I mean, he is taller than me, nothing like Jesse’s absurd height, still… is it okay to be dragged around like this? I am still his captain…

“You were right.” he says after taking a deep breath, still not letting go of my arm.

“About what?”

I am distracted. I can’t stop replaying the look on Jesse’s face when I walked out with Jake. It’s obvious he has a thing for Jake, if he could lie about it before, that look on his face…. a shiver runs down my back just thinking about it.

“The trackers. They might be old models, but no one els

  • The chaos of him   MASTER'S BEDROOM

    “Why would I scream? I am an officer, despite what you think.” I say, although my voice is small. A part of me must have remembered exactly what was at stake and decided to act or watch it get ruined. He smirks at me.“I’ll wash up first then.” Like an expired lamp genie, he returns to wherever he came from in the first place. My knees are jelly. I rest against a sheeted furniture behind me.Inside my chest, my heart is slamming heavily.I did it.I didn’t let him win. The mission wasn’t ruined.Maybe this was possible after all. Maybe I could win against Jesse.I jump when he reappears.My eyes almost fall out of their sockets. He is shirtless. With only a towel wrapped around his waist.My jaw unlocks from it’s place, eyes roaming his chest, as if trying to see everything before he covers up. I can’t look away The real test has just began it seems. And I am not so confident about winning anymore.The faint ridge of his collarbone led down to a chest that begged to be touched, li

  • The chaos of him   HANDLE IT

    “Welcome to my humble abode.” Jesse exclaims with a flourish. His arms wide as he gestures to small, farm house like home far from the rest of the team. It’s a quaint, wooden cabin with a wrap around porch, the kind you live in when you are seeking a small, quiet family life. Not the type you would expect from someone as obvious as Jesse. “Did you steal this too?”He pouts, arms falling to his side.I look away from the pout. It is incredibly distracting. My new, and solid resolution is to keep my head screwed on tight around him. He is just a mission.Between duty and desire, I choose the badge.I would always choose the law.Yet, every time our eyes lock, I forget which side I’m on. That has to change.“The only thing I want to steal, is your heart, so be ready.”Jake snorts, reminding me of his presence and our plan. The very one he had been skeptical of, but I promised to do my part, since everything is riding on this. My part is simple, keep Jesse busy enough to be distra

  • The chaos of him   SHEEPISH GIGGLE

    I pull myself away from him. Clearing my throat, to clear the air and this is a quite a stretch, but my mind too. It actually works because I suddenly remember something from the academy.Turning to him, my eyes take him in, as critically as I can manage.He hasn’t had a shower in a while, neither has he shaved. He should be uncomfortable, plus he would be driving, even his patience must stretch thin somehow, I just have to wear it out. Looking up in the rear view mirror, I see Jake working furiously on his laptop. I sigh inwardly, he would have to see me in the worst state possible.Kelly’s words float back into my mind.My pride means nothing if Jesse chooses not to speak.“You know how to start a car without the keys…” I start.He glances at me with raised brows, lips already raising in a laugh.“I am sure everyone knows how to. Didn’t you learn?”I frown at him in confusion.“Why would I learn to steal someone’s car??”“You have always been a goody two shoes? You never broke

  • The chaos of him   HIS DIRTY THOUGHTS

    Even if I have been leader for a while, my leadership style has always been leading the team in the way they wanted to be led. Everyone had to agree on every decision I took as captain. It was more or less just a title. Still, I was at the helm of affairs.Letting him lead me-well us, Jake and I- and leaving everything in his hands was new to me. “I trust you.” Jake had said when I apologized for going with Jesse.His eyes held no judgement, just that look of pure admiration, I had looked away almost immediately. “How long until we get there?” I ask, already itching to be safe.I feel like we are being watched. Maybe it’s pure anxiety from Jesse’s words, or maybe my gut is finally working again, and we are being watched. Looking around, I am grateful for the cover of the night, but it meant we were on the last bit of our extra time. “As soon as we find a car, it should take no more than an hour.” Jesse answers, walking next to me.“Find a car? Like an Uber?”He snorts. “No, are

  • The chaos of him   UPPER HAND

    During a negotiation, the one with the upper hand has to make it stay that way, or else the rug gets pulled from beneath you. Like it did with Jesse.But I still have a chance. Someone like him loves to be out and about, he should start to feel antsy very soon, and he would spill. Stepping outside the holding, the fog in my head clears.Jake is still working on his system, his brows are furrowed, eyes squinted in disbelief. I want to know what he is working on, but he would tell me when he was done. Back to my negotiation.Time is running out, I have to bluff my way to a few more hours with the prime minister, he hasn’t sent any messages, but I worry he is gathering the money somehow. He is a politician after all. I try calling him, it doesn’t ring.First alarm bell goes off in my head. Clients are required by terms of service, to keep their lines free for when we have to reach them, and the same is required of us as well. His back up line doesn’t connect either.Something is w
