“Shit,” Noah grunted. “I thought that’s how we did things now. Haven’t you been around the other team lately? Every last one of them has a woman. Even the CO, who I thought would never have a girlfriend, is dating Ice’s sister.”

Mason chuffed out a laugh. The Alpha SEAL leader’s sister was a free spirit, completely the opposite of the hard-assed CO. “Wonders never cease. I can’t say I expected Hunter to end up with a live-in girlfriend, but as soon as those two met in London, they couldn’t keep their hands to themselves.”

“Speaking of women, what’s the update with Taylor? She’s still got the ex who won’t leave her alone?” Hunter asked.

Mason frowned, filling the rest of the team in on what had happened over the weekend. “I added all your numbers to her cell phone, just in case she can’t reach me. Although she did finally file a police report when he showed up in the middle of the night.”

“That’s fucked up,” Ryker said.

“Agreed. It sounds like the dude couldn’t hold down a job since he was drinking all the time. Now he’s fixated on her. They were together several years, so he seems to be having trouble letting her go.”

“Some guys want what they can’t have,” Hunter said.

“Absolutely. And therein lies the problem.”

Mason helped Noah put the weight back on the rack after he did a set of reps, his mind on the woman he’d spent all weekend focused on. It was crazy in some ways. He’d flirted with her for a long time at Anchors before ever even getting her number.

Something about being with her felt so fucking right though.

And when he’d had her in his arms yesterday—in his bed?

All thoughts of taking things slowly were gone in a flash. He wanted to deal with the problem of her ex, but he simply just wanted her, too.

In his life. In his bed.

When you know, you know, and while he didn’t want to scare her with the intensity of his feelings, he knew neither of their lives would ever be the same.
