Warren pushed a branch out of the way and walked through the pine trees, not bothering to follow a path. He prided himself on being in control, but Audrey somehow always managed to unhinge him. She was a walking contradiction, and he couldn’t control that. He couldn’t control her. How was he going to keep her safe if she constantly did the opposite of what he asked her to do?

“Warren, please stop,” Audrey said from somewhere behind him. “I can’t keep up.”

Stopping in a clearing, he placed his hands on his hips as he waited for her to reach him. He hadn’t meant to walk so fast, but he was just so darned irritated. When he saw her emerge from the trees, he sighed in aggravation.

Why did Audrey insist on wearing men’s clothing to their target practice? Didn’t she know that it attracted unwanted attention? Even in trousers and a blue shirt, she looked alluring, making it nearly impossible to look away. She was going to be the death of him.

He kicked a pine cone next to his foot and grumbled, “Next time, wear a dress.”

Not deterred by his anger, Audrey walked closer to him and smiled... actually smiled at him! Didn’t she fear him at all? “I believe I already explained to you, dear husband, that it is easier to wear trousers when we are traipsing through the forest.”

“We are not traipsing.”

She gave him a one-shouldered shrug. “Regardless, it is much easier when I don’t have to wear ten pounds of fabric around my waist.”

He took a step closer to her. “I can see every one of your curves in those clothes.” Those glorious curves, he thought.

“Then it is a good thing we are married,” she replied cheekily.

Realizing that she was finding humor in this situation, he started grabbing large pine cones from the needle-coated ground. “I wish you would take your job more seriously,” he grunted.

“Like you?” She chuckled.

“Yes,” he stated as he found the ideal log to balance the pine cones on.

“Fine,” she grunted in a deep voice. “I will act like you.”

Keeping his back toward her, he sighed in annoyance. “Now you are just being ridiculous.”

Audrey walked next to him and dropped her handful of pine cones near the log. “Should I get more?” she asked in the same deep voice.

He shook his head. Why hadn’t he been partnered with a different woman? Someone like Diana. Why had she been assigned to Wyatt? She seemed like a nice, agreeable woman. Instead, he got an heiress that refused to understand the seriousness of their assignment.

Stepping back, he was pleased to see the six pine cones balancing on the log. Now, the hard part. He needed to teach Audrey how to shoot. Before he turned around, he heard bullets whizzing past him knocking the pine cones high in the sky. When the last shot was fired, his jaw dropped. She had managed to hit every pine cone accurately!

He turned around and stared at her in amazement. Audrey could shoot.
