the squad Chapter 16: Jason
I listened with half an ear to the men as they talked about their new 'squad' at least that's what Lyon had decided to call it since as he says organization sounds too much like law enforcement and he hates any f*ck that has to do with that f*ckery. His vocabulary is even more colorful than Gideon's, and my brother has got a fine grasp on gutter speak. Mostly I was organizing my moves once we land in my head. I'd already mapped out what needed to be done from the specs Mancini had given me earlier, so it was just a matter of getting there and letting my senses do the rest. There was a certain kind of excitement in the air. One that stems from working with a new crew for the first time and also because this was all new to me, and I have no idea how this person is going to react once found.Usually, when I go on a search and rescue, the kids on the other end are only too glad to see someone who isn't there to hurt them and can't wait to go back home. This person, this stranger, is b

I could feel her as the scent wrapped around me like a blanket. There was no longer any doubt in my mind that it was a female that I was hunting. Her scent was…familiar, though I'm sure we'd never met before whoever she is. It was familiar in the sense that it felt like I knew her on some primal level, someplace deep inside me. My body's reaction was the most telling.I've f*cked plenty since I was a teen, but never before have I been affected by a woman's scent, not to this extent. I've never used my senses with a mate, never shared that part of myself with any of the women I took to my bed. So why was this unknown woman having this effect on me? How had she snuck in under my guard before we even met?I shook my head to clear it and spoke into the device in my ear. "I've found the scent, meet me around back." Part of me wanted to escape, to get as far away from her intoxicating scent as I possibly could, but I've never walked away form a job. Besides, there was another side of me
the squad Chapter 18: Roxy
My eyes popped open, and I came instantly awake. Something had awakened me, some sound, what was it? I held still and listened, my heart racing with fear until I remembered that I was no longer the defenseless little girl who'd been awakened many times during the night to face torment and horror.I sat up slowly in the dark and pulled on my shoes with my back to the wall as I listened and peered around in the darkness. Whatever it was had come from outside, there was no one in my direct vicinity, I was sure. Crawling on my hands and knees, I made it to the nearest window, or the place where a window once was I should say since they'd all been long gone.Looking down into the night, I didn't see anything which meant whatever it was might be around the front of the building. From my place on the top floor, I should be able to see fine, but if it was indeed a person out there, they might have a better shot at me from their vantage point since the moon was so high.'Stop borrowing tr

"F*ck!" I didn't have time to tell her that I wasn't here to hurt her before she came at me. The move was so unexpected that I stood in shock and barely moved out of the way in time. I felt the wind from her blade as it sailed by my face, but instead of defending myself, which would've entailed hurting her in some way, I went into retreat, gliding back on my heels and out of the way.She came in fast, and I had no choice this time but to ward her off, but still, I did the least amount of damage I could in the circumstances by hitting her wrist with the heel of my hand in just the right way to get the results I wanted. The blade clattered to the old cement floor with a clanging sound. "I'm not…" I started to explain myself, but she came in low and fast, and this time both hands held the blades she'd grabbed from their hidden place at her sides. Stupid me watched in fascination, not quite believing what I was seeing.I didn't think I was going to need backup when I told the others I

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
