“I’ll try. We’ll see how it goes.”
Twister could almost hear Shark’s teeth grinding together. Twister opened the door and slid into the passenger seat behind Shark as Maddy and Brawler came and got inside. Brawler to the back and Maddy to the front beside his buddy.
Shark started the car and drove out of the garage. Maddy leaned forward and pressed the button on the remote to close the door behind them. Twister noticed how she brushed up against Shark, who didn’t move away.
Shark drove down the long driveway, navigated through the guard post, and turned right to head to the Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Tabarre. The very same one they had flown into yesterday.
“So, tell me about Beast,” Maddy said.
“He’s a tank. Most Belgian Malinois are usually pretty lean, but Beast has a barrel chest and is a little chunkier than most. He almost didn’t make it into the program until I came along. He’s a lightweight compared to me, and he does anything I ask him to do.”
“They are quite the team,” Twister said. “He swims like a fish and is completely fearless, jumping out of choppers, airplanes, RIBs…he even once was ejected from a torpedo tube on a sub. We got him a mariner patch for that one. The guys loved that.”
Brawler chuckled. “Yeah, he was completely unaffected. Swam beside me until we were inserted from the beach.”
“He sounds amazing. He’s okay to be in close quarters with people who are not SEALs?”
“Yeah, he’s fine, but he’s not a pet.”
“Right,” Twister said dryly.
“He’s not,” Brawler insisted, looking at Twister with a scowl, then turning back to Maddy. “He’s completely trained.”
She nodded and smiled.
“He’s not going to hurt you,” Shark said, reaching over and covering her hand, giving it a squeeze. He bet the last thing his buddy wanted to do was be trapped in a vehicle with two teammates for any length of time. He suspected what Shark wanted didn’t have anything to do with comforting Maddy.

He’d never in his life been seduced by a woman…not like that, not with such confidence and a brazen quality he wanted to plumb to its deepest depth. All he could think right now was how much he wanted to fuck her, long and hard against anything soft and pliable, just like her.
So, it wasn’t smart, not just because of that trivial thing about being a conflict of interest. Although, she knew how conflicted his interest was in her.
She had hit him like a locomotive, and even though he knew it was a bad idea, making his distraction with her even more unmanageable, he was now sure that the reality of her paled in comparison to his fantasy. She had been so incredibly responsive, and he’d taken it much, much further than he’d ever intended. Which had only served to whet his appetite for more.
When he realized he hadn’t removed his hand, he did so, wondering what kind of smirk was on Twister’s face. He had to admit, it was annoying and frustrating to be in this situation, surrounded by his brothers and have to pretend he wasn’t still sporting his raging hard-on.
She blew through all his formidable boundaries, and he’d never been at the mercy of his own body in his life. He wanted to pull over, eject his teammates, find a hotel room, and take that sweet, delectable body for hours.
He breathed in a hard breath and her enticing scent, closing his eyes briefly. The airport appeared in the distance, and he navigated the road, both hands now tightly on the wheel. The Mercedes rode like a dream, glided along even the roughest part of the road.
When he reached the airport, he followed the signs around to the cargo area where they needed to pick up her equipment and their four-legged teammate.
When they reached the gate, he handed them both Brawler’s and Maddy’s papers. The guard let them through. He found the first parking lot and they all got out.
Twister went with Brawler to find Beast, and he and Maddy went after her equipment.
“I just want to say, I’m still a little dazed by that kiss. You pack a punch, mister,” Maddy said.
“Thanks to you, Twister is suspicious, and I now have to live with his snide comments.” With a soft sigh of satisfaction, she met his gaze.
Maddy looked surprised at that. “Don’t guys give high fives when they score?”
“What? What kind of guys are you hanging around with?” He was never one of those locker room idiots so insecure they had to brag about their exploits to anyone who would listen. When he was with a woman, he respected her and himself in every sense of the word.
She bit her lip, confusion in her eyes for a moment. “I’m not sure.” Then her eyes turned molten gold. “I’m a little confused by all of this delicious tension with you.” Her voice was a husky whisper. “I just want to find a dark spot and let you ravish me some more. I’ve never been kissed like that, Bale. So, your fault I want more…exploring.”
His blood rushed hot and molten through his veins. Fuck it, she was so brazen and bold, and fuck it, if he didn’t love that about her. “Dammit, Maddy. This is…crazy and stupid, and a bad idea.”
