He shrugged. “When have you ever cared what anyone thinks of you?”
“Good point.” She moved to the other boot’s laces and stopped. “What are you staring at?”
“I was just thinking about how long it will be before you can’t reach your feet to tie your shoes.”
She straightened so fast he swore he heard her spine snap. “Don’t even bring it up. I busted my ass for these abs.”
“And they’re sexy as hell.” He took a step closer and rested his palm on her stomach. “But you’re going to look even more beautiful swollen with my child.”
She balled her fist and punched him in the stomach. Not hard enough to hurt either him or her fist. But enough to make her angrier when she saw his cocky grin.
“You’re insufferable. Make yourself useful and order us a lift. But let’s get one thing clear—when we get to the drop point, you’re getting out first. I don’t want the guys seeing us together.”
“Whatever you say, MJ.”
Her hair bounced on her shoulders and her ass swayed when she stalked to the door. “I don’t know why I put up with you, Overstreet.”
At the door, he caught her elbow and spun her to face him. A small puff of air escaped her. Cupping her face in his palm, he stared down into her eyes. “For love. Haven’t you realized that yet?”

Lena didn’t have time for the nausea swamping her gut, and her pills were at the barracks. Until she got one into her system, she had to suffer through it and hope she didn’t need to make the cab driver pull over so she could be sick.
She also didn’t have time for these emotions. This morning, Slade hitallthe high points for her—damn him. Whynow,after they were split, after they reached the point of no return?
But was it the point of no return? Blackout didn’t think in terms of life events. They thought in how many missions it would take to make the world a better place. If she thought of it that way, she had plenty of time to figure out how to make it work with the man seated next to her.
The back seat didn’t seem large enough for both of them. He took up so much space, his long legs folded so his knees sat much higher than hers. Every time the vehicle hit a bump in the road, Slade’s thigh brushed against the length of hers from knee to hip.
By the fourth time, goosebumps broke out on Lena’s arms. She attempted to hide it from him, but the man was one of the most observant humans she’d ever met, and she caught his side-eye.
The fifth bump, her nipples hardened.
“Are you hitting these bumps on purpose?” she asked the driver.
He glanced back at her but didn’t respond.
Slade brought his hand down on hers and gave it a light squeeze.
Ohhh, those prickles of awareness should not be sinking low in her core right now. What happened to being nauseated? She’d take that over arousal for her ex in the back of a cab any day.
She stared down at his hand on hers. Beautiful, capable, long fingers that did all the right things to her body, and she’d seen him kill to supposedly protect her.
His thick wrist with dark hair spattering his tanned olive-toned skin inspired imaginings of other thick body parts.
And those veins snaking up his forearm…
With a gasp of need, she yanked his hand, dragging him in even as she turned her face up for his kiss.
She felt his pause of surprise right before he plunged his tongue deep into her mouth and stole her mind. He latched on to her waist, one fingertip edging under her top to brush bare skin.
A soft moan bottled in her throat, and she landed in his lap. The hard planes of his thighs cradled her neediest spot, and she wantonly rubbed on him. Heedless of the driver, she grabbed Slade’s face and kissed the daylights out of him.
One callused fingertip swished over her flesh, sending molten desire between her legs.
They had to stop. They were making out in a moving car with a stranger inches away from them. Heck, it was early morning, the dawn hardly starting to break over the city. Lena couldn’t even blame this brand of passion on alcohol.
She tore her mouth away from his, but his hand was right there, cupping her jaw, swinging her mouth right back. He plundered her while gathering her tight against his body, his rigid cock riding along the seam of her pussy.
