She responded with a low moan, her nails digging into my skin as she pressed herself closer, her every move telling me that she didn’t want to stop either.The world outside didn’t exist anymore.There was no mission, no looming danger—only the heat between us, threatening to consume us both.And maybe that was the most dangerous thing of all.AQSAThe room was dim, the only light coming from the city skyline beyond the window.The chaos outside felt like a distant hum, a reminder of the destruction waiting to swallow us whole.But in here, in this small, stolen moment, nothing else existed except for him—his hands, his breath, his body pressing me into the mattress.“Kareem...” My voice was a whisper, a mix of warning and need.He silenced me with a kiss, rough and demanding, his lips capturing mine as if he were trying to erase everything around us.His hand slid up my thigh, leaving a trail of fire in its wake.My body responded instantly, arching toward him despite the voice in th

“I’m with security,” he added, as if that explained everything. “And if you want to save lives, you’ll listen.”I wanted to argue, but a part of me knew he was probably right.Secondary devices were a common tactic.I hesitated, glancing back at the building.My gut twisted, torn between the need to act fast and the fear of making a mistake.2KAREEMShe was stubborn, I could see that right away.The way her jaw clenched, the fire in her eyes—it was clear she wasn’t going to back down easily.Most people would have just listened and stayed out of the way.But not her.She was different.I watched her take in the scene, her hand still gripping her medical kit like it was her only lifeline.I could tell she’d been in situations like this before, but she was still too green, too driven by emotions to make the right call.She’d run in there without thinking, get herself killed trying to save people who were already beyond help.“Aqsa, is it?” I asked, having caught her name from one of th

"If you stay, you’ll die. And so will everyone else."For a moment, she stared at me, torn between her instinct to save lives and the cold reality of the situation.But then, slowly, she nodded.I could see the pain in her eyes, the guilt of leaving someone behind, but this was war.And in war, sometimes you had to make impossible choices.As we backed away from the scene, the tension between us still palpable, I knew this wouldn’t be the last time we’d face this kind of danger together.The city was a battlefield now, and both of us were caught in the crossfire.5AQSAThe ringing in my ears wouldn’t stop.The explosion had hit just as we were pulling away from the building, and the force of it knocked me off my feet.For a moment, I couldn’t move.Dust and debris filled the air, making it impossible to see more than a few feet ahead.My body ached, and the taste of blood filled my mouth.The woman I had been tending to… she was gone.I couldn’t think about it.Not now.My head spun

"Somewhere safe," he muttered, not even glancing back at me.His voice was distant, cold.He wasn’t the same man I had been working alongside just hours ago.Something had shifted."Safe?" I scoffed. "We’re not safe anywhere, Kareem. Those men—this isn’t just about the bombings, is it?"He stopped suddenly, turning to face me.His expression was hard, but his eyes gave him away.There was something there, something dark and conflicted.He wasn’t telling me everything."No, it’s not," he said after a moment. "But right now, you need to trust me."I felt a surge of anger rise up inside me."Trust you? After what just happened? I don’t even know who you are. I don’t know why those men were after us, why—""Because you’re in the middle of something bigger than you realize," he interrupted, his voice sharp. "You weren’t supposed to be involved. But now you are, and that means you're a target. So, whether you like it or not, you need me."I clenched my fists, frustration boiling over."I do

"And you’ve known this the whole time?""I’ve suspected," I corrected her. "But I didn’t have proof. Not until now."She stood up abruptly, pacing the small room."So what? We just go after this official? How do we even know who to trust? We can’t take on the entire government."I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees."We don’t have to take on everyone. Just the right people. I have contacts, people who can help us. But we have to be smart about this. One wrong move, and we’ll both be dead."She stopped pacing and turned to face me, her arms crossed tightly over her chest."What about the bombings? What about the people who died today? They deserve justice.""They’ll get it," I said, my voice firm. "But if we rush into this, we’ll end up just like them—dead, and forgotten."She didn’t say anything for a moment, her eyes narrowing as she studied me.I knew she was trying to decide if she could trust me, if I was worth following into whatever mess this was going to become.But
