Instead, I stepped back into the shadows and waited to see how it would all play out.

I just prayed Rachel knew what she was doing.

Turns out, she did.

Iwas blowing off steam in the gym, punching the bag and visualizing Delgado’s face, when I caught movement in my peripheral vision.

I turned and saw Delgado strolling towards me across the dimly lit room.

Well, well, well.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

He wasn’t being shy about it, either. He had a smirk on his face and a swagger in his walk more like a rapper than a soldier.

In my experience, that’s the way most assholes acted: supremely confident and obnoxiously arrogant, whether they could back it up or not.

Unfortunately, this asshole seemed intent on taking it to a whole new level.

Whatever he had planned, I knew it wasn’t good.

I also knew he wouldn’t be here if the gym were full of witnesses. That thought alone kept me on full alert.

“Sergeant Delgado. Come to apologize for your conduct during the briefing?”

He thought that was funny.

“No… I came to get an apology from you.”

“Well, you’re going to be waiting a long fucking time.”

“You really shouldn’t be cursing with a mouth that pretty, Señorita.”

I bet he talked to a lot of women that way.

Reduced them to their looks.

Told them what they should and shouldn’t do.

I’d had a lot of men treat me like that.

Usually I just brushed it off…

But not today.

Today, I wanted to hit back.

Do I go there? I asked myself.

Yeah… let’s go fuckin’ there.

To hell with it.

“And you really shouldn’t be so confident with a dick that small, yet here we are,” I said.
