I really want to, but I won’t. I can’t. I could fall for this man, and he already almost died once. It’s better if I keep my distance now.

I promised myself.

“I have to go,” I say, glancing at the clock on my phone. “I have a meeting.”

Marshall grabs the side of my face, slamming his mouth down on mine. I almost collapse as passion flares around us like a supernova consuming all of me.

I can’t think.

I can’t stop him.

I want him to scoop me up and kidnap me so I don’t need to be the responsible one here.

“That,” Marshall says, releasing my mouth. “Is the goodbye I missed yesterday morning.”

Then his hand slides down my body, over my hip and cups my ass, squeezing and sending pleasure into my pussy.

“See you soon, little wolf.”

Then he strides off while I stand there trying to catch my breath.

Damn him.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

ROGER

––––––––

How interesting.

I sit across the road from the Black Hawke Security building and watch Marshall Adams in some kind of altercation with an incredibly beautiful brunette woman.

Then he kisses her.

And leaves.

She touches her mouth but doesn’t look impressed. In fact, she looks shocked and angry.

I smile and adjust my plan.

After being sent back to the United States, reprimanded for drinking during an active operation—and being told there’d be no promotion and I’d be lucky if I wasn’t discharged dishonorably—I had every intention of confronting Sergeant Adams today.

I knew where he worked. BHS is well respected and somewhere a lot of active soldiers aspire to work should they decide to leave.

Personally, I’m a lifer.

Anyway, I’d been so furious, I hadn’t thought my plans through much beyond throwing my fist in his ugly face.

He’s destroyed my life and career.

My entire future could be down the gurgler. I’m not going to let that go unpunished.

But now...well, this is an opportunity I can take advantage of. It’s clear by his body language that he likes this woman, but she’s not sure about him.

I grin, start my vehicle as she climbs into hers, then follow her.

All day.
