Used to be, the six of us went out as a group. Damn\, we were unstoppable. Six former SEALs, now Guardians? Out on the town?

We’re a force of nature.

Were.

Now Brady’s got Angie. Booker’s got Izzy. Rafe’s watching over Carmen. He won’t admit he’s smitten, but the dude is totally falling for Carmen.

Half our team’s fallen in-fucking-love.

Only Hayes, Zeb, and I remain free to roam and plant our wild oats as the saying goes.

Eager to talk about anything else but my sex life, I shift gears and turn to Rafe.

“Any idea when the brass is going to green light our mission back to Nicaragua?” I lay out the components of my weapon and grab a cleaning cloth.

We just returned from a mission where we rescued Booker’s woman. He and Izzy are totally inseparable. During that mission, we picked up Rafe’s cling-on. He hates that term, but that’s exactly what Carmen Angelo is.

With Izzy safe in Booker’s arms, we prepared for exfil, which consisted of a rope extraction via helicopter from within the estate of Maximus Angelo, Nicaragua’s Minister of the Interior, and a notorious human trafficker.

As we all clipped to the line, the helicopter pulled us into the air. Rafe was last man on the ground and Carmen literally jumped into his arms, clinging for dear life, in an attempt to escape her father.

She’s been with us for the past few days. None of us are really sure if she’s a double agent or not, but it turns out Carmen’s a saint. She’s been working for the past decade…

Yeah, I gotta pause at that.

The woman’s been working since she was a kid to bring her father down.

That’s some fierce kind of shit.

When we rescued Izzy from her father’s villa outside Managua, Carmen took a literal leap of faith, recognizing in us an opportunity to finally bring her father to justice.

Now, she and Rafe are inseparable. First Brady, then Booker. Now Rafe? The team’s falling like flies, getting serious with one woman. I give Hayes and Zeb a look, wondering if either of them will bite the bullet soon.

That would suck. It would leave me as the last man standing. Unlike them, I’m not ready to settle down. I’m not ready to be with one woman for the rest of my life. There’s too much to sample out there, and like I said, I’m theKing of Meaningless Fucks.

“Carmen’s working with them now,” Rafe says. “They’re trying to figure out how to reinsert her without her father getting suspicious.”

“Not to rock the boat, but putting her back seems like a shit plan.” I rub my knuckles against the stubble of my jaw. Past time to shave. Chicks love men with beards, but they’re not so keen about beard rash on their pussy and inner thighs. I could spend the rest of my days eating pussy and be in bliss.

Which is why settling down with one woman doesn’t make sense for me.

“Don’t remind me,” Rafe says. “But she’s dead set on going back. Thinks she can convince her father she’s working for him. And there’s a twist.”

“What’s that?” I shove a wad of cotton into the barrel of my weapon and run it up and down the length several times using a bore snake.

We went through hundreds of practice rounds and the inside of the barrel is coated in gunpowder residue. That’s the other part of the rub, and why we’re all so pissed about the fucking Rufi. Mitzy’s team is trialing their armaments package. The Rufi pack is getting set up for live ammunition.

Don’t know how I feel about that.

“Her friend, Rosalie, is still there,” Rafe says. “Carmen says we have to rescue Rosalie and the women her father has on the auction block.”

“That sounds complicated.” I shake my head. “More than a six-man job.”

“You’re right about that.” Brady lays his weapon down on the large counter in the center of the bullpen, and methodically begins breaking it down. “They’re talking about sending Charlie team with us. We’ll have the Rufi working with us, of course. On our side. I think that’s why Mitzy’s team is pushing the training on getting the Rufi armed,” he quickly adds that last part. “Bravo will collect Carmen and Rosalie. Charlie will rescue the other women.”

“And what if Carmen’s father doesn’t buy it? What if he separates Rosalie from Carmen?”

Sounds like something I’d do, if I was a monster of a man who traded in lives for a living, I’d be paranoid as fuck and there’s no way I’d trust a daughter who literally ran into the enemy’s arms.
