the squad Chapter 20: Jason
Outside the night air washed over me, and I was able to breathe easy again. Inside the building, her scent had wreaked havoc on my senses, and though it wasn't much better now with me holding her this close, at least the cool air was giving me a break.The SUV slid to a stop in front of me just as I made it to the sidewalk. Creed got out and opened the backdoor, and I slid in, still holding her safely in my arms. I was trying hard not to breathe her in and embarrass myself. "That is definitely a female, look at all that hair."Both men turned in their seats to look. Her hair had come undone during the fight and now covered her face and trailed down to the floor of the vehicle. It was a soft, shiny black that was straight as a pin until the last six or so inches, which had a kind of bouncy wave-like thing going on. "Turn around!" My order startled both of them, but they just laughed and did what I said.I held her possessively not quite comfortable with the closeness of both men i
the squad Chapter 21: Jason
We reached the safe house where the others were waiting as if they already knew the score. It felt like we'd been gone for quite a while, but all in all, it had been a little over three hours since we landed. I'm not sure any of us expected things to go as quickly or as smoothly as they did. "Looks like that nose of yours really works, huh kid." Lyon stood back from the door after letting us in.I didn't answer; I couldn't. My system was still short-circuiting from having her so close. "Any reason we can't head back to the island since we got what we came for?" He didn't even try to look at her, which I found odd. Doesn't the guy have any curiosity? The others were straining their necks, trying to see through me."With all that hair, that's definitely a female." Logan peered over my shoulder, and I caught myself holding her closer to my chest. At this rate, I'll probably smother her to death. "Did you ask Mancini about that? Maybe he can send the pilot back tonight." Law stretched

As soon as he touched her shirt, her hand came up and wrapped around his throat, pushing him back and away from her. She did some kind of flip and threw herself off the other side of the bed, landing in a crouch with her hands ready to strike. She looked around the room at the rest of us just as I heard feet come running towards us. The others had been alerted by the sound of the doctor hitting the wall."Roxy, it's okay, we're not going to hurt you." Her head jerked at my use of her name, but she never took her eyes from the others as she assessed the situation. "How do you know my name byeong-sin saek-ki?" Her voice was like a melody, but I'm not quite sure about the words she'd just used."What did you just call me?" There was a snicker in the room before one half of the wall lit up, and Mancini's face swam into view. "It's Korean. She's either telling you you're diseased or she's calling you a motherfucker.""Mancini, you spy f*ck. You have this place rigged?" Lyon seemed mor

"Who the hell are you people anyway? And what do you want with me?" She finally turned back to the room, and I had to remind myself how to put two words together; the woman was unbelievably gorgeous. Like the kind of gorgeous, you only expect to see in the movies. Granted, Ash and her new friends are nothing to sneeze at, but who'd risk looking at any of them long enough to see just how beautiful they really are?I'm not a small guy, and I'm sure I can hold my own pretty much in any given situation. But from what little I'd gathered in the short time I've known them, their husbands aren't exactly the forgiving types when it comes to their women, and they seem very possessive. It took Lyon damn near ten minutes to say goodbye to his wife, and the two of them already have a whole damn football team and then some between them. The SEALs hadn't been any different, and Law looked like he was going to cry when he had to give his son up to leave to come here. And why am I thinking about
the squad Chapter 24: Roxy
Just what the hell have you gotten yourself into this time, Roxy? I tried to remember where I'd gone wrong when it was that I'd left a clue behind or a trail for them to follow. Nothing came to mind, which made me even more nervous. For all that, the hot one kept reassuring me that I wasn't in danger. It's been a long time since I've trusted anyone, and I'm not about to start.With that thought, my mind went to my uncle Mike. He's going to worry if I don't check in soon. The thought made my stomach hurt, and I felt the need to get out of there even stronger. Uncle Mike is the closest thing to family I have left. Mom's family had pretty much disowned her when she married my dad and moved here, and dad didn't have any family to speak of when they met.When I came along, it was just the three of us, and uncle Mike who had been a regular at the dinner table on Sundays and could always be found hanging out in the garage with dad when they were stateside. After dad died, uncle Mike had s

"Since we know the deal, we'll help him through, though none of our women can kick our ass. I think she can take him." The conversation grew light for a second after Connor's comment as we reminisced about the way she'd flung the doc across the room with one hand to the throat. Jason joined us not long after looking a bit sheepish at the way he'd gone wolfhound on our asses in the kitchen, and another round of teasing began."Where is she?""She's tired. I took her back up to bed. So, what's the plan?" I went with my gut since everyone was looking at me for the answer. "We'll follow your lead on this one kid, so what will it be?" He seemed surprised at my offer, but as a man, I know how that sh*t feels when it involves your woman. It doesn't matter how new that feeling of ownership is, that sh*t digs in deep from the get.If anyone had tried to stand in my way when I was going after Kat's fine ass, there'd have been bloodshed and missing body parts all over the place. I'm not f*c
the squad Chapter 26: Roxy
My life had been mapped out for me a long time ago. Ever since the day I was ripped away from my mother and the only life I knew and thrown into the depths of hell. There was no one to care about my screams then, no one to shield and protect me from the horror of having my eight-year-old body violated by grown men and women. Now it's too late. So whatever goodwill bullsh*t they were on is totally lost on me. I don't need saving, and I definitely don't need anything in my life that's going to stand in the way of me getting revenge against the ones who hurt me. Had it been a few years earlier, maybe I'd have been won over by the beautiful house with the frilly sh*t on the bed and windows, maybe I'd have fallen victim to the fluttering heart thing that happens when hottie gets close, but it's too late for that.I made up my mind that I wasn't interested even though a part of me wished I could give in, the part of me that was bone tired. I've been going on autopilot for so long with n

I had a big stupid grin on my face as I followed her inside until I remembered her past, and it struck me hard in the gut that after all, she'd been through maybe it wasn't such a good idea to just grab her and kiss her like that. I felt sick to my stomach at the reminder, and my attitude took a nosedive. What the f*ck is wrong with me? That's not like me at all. But she was being so damn adorable with her combat sh*t , and I've wanted to since the moment we met. I've wanted to do a lot of things with her, to her since the moment we met, but for once, I'm at a loss as to how to proceed with a woman.This is something I'd usually talk to my brother about to get another perspective from the person I trust most in life, but he wasn't here, and I had a more pressing issue on my hands. It's as if that kiss had opened up a window in my mind, and I realized that I couldn't treat Roxana the way I would anyone else. As tough as she is, and I don't think for a second that she's pretending,
