“Please remember it’s my sister you are talking about. I don’t need to know this shit.” TJ gags making all of us laugh. Derby runs me through loading and unloading a gun, putting the bullet in the chamber, and the safety on and off. She shows me how to use the sights to aim at the target.

“Now just breathe and when you get ready to shoot, breathe out, and pull the trigger. Easy peasy.” Derby, I don’t think I can ever call her Ruby again, shows me how to stand. I put the outer ear protection on and pull the trigger as I breathe out.

“Damn, you have skill.” I take off my protective gear as Smitty stands behind me. “You got the fucker right through the throat.”

“Not bad for beginner’s luck.” I shrug. TJ and Derby are talking about something. “Should I keep shooting?” I motion with my head toward the two talking.

“Yeah. Keep shooting and if you have any questions, I’m here. Once you’re good on these handguns then we will move on to the sniper rifle.” I spend the next hour shooting the different handguns Derby brought for me as there are a lot of bullets forme to use. I’m enjoying the feel of the gun in my hand. Smitty gives me pointers. “I also want to get you into a Scenario Based Training course so you can learn to dynamically shoot while in motion. It’s better to be prepared for battle than you being a target.”

“How did you get to know all of this?” I ask him.

“My past. One night over some whiskey I’ll tell you how I met Amelia. It’s a doozy of a story.” He smiles but his eyes are vacant. There’s something bad that happened and I’m afraid to find out how fucked this group really is and if I can protect my girl. I shake my head to get out of my thoughts and back into the present. Smitty is ready to teach me the sniper rifle. “In my opinion, this will be your specialty. You have great accuracy and precision with handguns.” I smile at him. I want to make this man proud of me, and I’ve only known him for about six months.

“Let’s do this then.”

Chapter Thirty-Two

Medusa

I’m in the shower, using lemon juice to wash off the gasoline that touched my skin through my clothes when we were setting Richie Jr. on fire. DaVinci is working on some body washes for us to use to remove the smells of the job that we do. We’ve found washing with lemon juice does help. The door opens and I whip my head out of the shower door.

“What are you doing here?” I say. Noah smiles back at me.

“I’m looking for my girlfriend and hoping I can shower because I smell like sweat. Derby and Smitty put me through my paces today.” Noah takes off his sweatpants and t-shirt. I lick mylips as I stare at Noah’s naked body. I bite my lip, “Enjoying the scene?”

“Oh yes I am. I do have a question for you though.” I cross my arms pushing my breasts up. Noah’s eyes gravitate toward my breasts. He swallows hard making his Adam’s apple bob up and down. His growing cock hardens. I love knowing how my body turns him on.

Noah clears his throat making me blush as I move my eyes to his face, “What’s your question?” He smirks knowing he caught me ogling him.

“How are your wounds?” The hot water hits my shoulder helping me to release the tension.

“They hurt but it’s nothing I can’t deal with. If it hurts then I move to a different position. Why what do you have in mind?” Noah steps forward, his right arm flexing so I know he’s grabbed his cock. I want to look but need to stay on topic.

“If you come in here, we shower because I have a surprise for you later on. So you get in here, behave yourself.” I raise my eyebrow.

“You naked is going to be hard for me to behave but I’ll try my best. Can I at least kiss you? I’ve missed you a lot today.” He pleads with me. Noah’s pleads are killing me. I nod then he rushes into the shower pushing me up against the wall. His lips on mine are always heaven but today if feels different. He pulls away from me and his eyes are roaming all over me. “Are you okay? You didn’t get hurt did you?”

“I’m good. None of us were hurt. Richie Jr. is dead. I’m sorry I couldn’t let you be there to help, but he wasn’t going to tell us anything. He chose to die instead of answering any of our questions.” I smile.

“Tell me what you did while I wash your body.” I couldn’t help but stand on my tiptoes and kiss him again. I tell him all about the conversation, the gasoline, and Luka showing up.

“We also added a tracker to the gas tank of Luka’s car. Joker is trying to find where he is. Michelle’s phone is still off. It was last pinging at a fancy restaurant in Indianapolis.” We both get out of the shower and wrap towels around our bodies. I begin the routine of my curly hair. Noah sits down on the closed toilet seat lid and watches me as I go through the products without even thinking.

“Have you tracked the numbers that Michelle was calling and receiving? Maybe one of them could lead you to her.” I spin around to stare at him.

“Oh my God.” My hand slaps my forehead. “Why didn’t I think of that? I’m such a moron.” I begin moving around the bathroom faster and Noah stands from the toilet he’s perched on to stop me from moving around. He places his hands on my shoulders.

“Calm down. Finish what you are doing, this will way we can talk about things.” I slow my breathing. How did I miss this? “So, we check the numbers on her cell phone to see who is who and where they are located. You can send people to watch, take notes or do whatever it is they do when you send them out. While you’re doing that, I need to check my email about news about my law test for the state of Indiana. I know TJ and I need to look over the plans the architect emailed us.”

“I love how we’re able to do work but still be together.” I wrap my arms around his neck kissing his throat.

“It’s why I love how this relationship is so great. We can be together without being all over each other. We are a power couple.” Noah smirks.

“If you don’t finish your hair and get dressed, we will never leave this room.” The heat in his eyes tell me, he’s serious. This wasn’t a joke or a threat, more like a promise. I nod and step out of his reach then went back to my routine. Noah smacked my ass before leaving the room. “I need to head to my apartment to get some clothes. I only have a few days of outfits.” I smile as I seehis reflection. This man is taking over my heart and him being in my space doesn’t make me want to bolt.
