CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Dutch

Dutch wasn’t entirely sure what he was doing. It was not a feeling he enjoyed.

He’d taken her to a little diner he’d come to know well, on a nondescript street corner that suggested privacy but not too much of it. The food was greasy and rich and felt like the cook actually put some time into getting acquainted with his herbs and spices, an art that seemed to be mostly lost in the rundown city of Detroit.

Dutch poked at his burger thoughtfully, though his gaze kept creeping over to Ari, who was sucking on a strawberry milkshake and looking equal parts fuckable and nervous. Perhaps it was the latter that made the former so convincing. He plucked a fry off his plate, squished it in some ketchup and popped it in his mouth, reveling in the pure sodium bomb that it delivered to his brain.

“So, what’s your story?” he asked, finally finding the words to speak on topics other than small talk and the weather, which had both been exhausted a while ago.

“Excuse me?” she asked, quirking a brow as she removed her lips from the straw.

He was sad to see the connection broken. Her cheeks hollowed out so nicely as she sucked on it, leading his despicable brain down other paths that were best left untraveled.

“Where’d you go? I checked with Spade, I checked with Hemingway. You pulled a disappearing act, not only on me but on them. Unless they were lying, which I don’t see much of a point of because… well. No point. So you were either deep undercover or you decided to quit pretty much the moment you had boots on US soil. Which one was it?”

“Is it any of your business?” she asked, an edge to her words.

“It could be,” he admitted with a shrug, feeling the unwelcome sensation of strain in his muscles, tension building.

“Why?”

It was a repeat of the conversation they’d already had, but he couldn’t stop pushing, even if she’d made it clear there was nothing between them. Her cheeks were lighting up with something akin to annoyance and a very big part of him wanted to keep pushing her, pissing her off. She was fucking gorgeous when she was mad as hell.

He’d seen it on the battleground in that godawful jungle and he wouldn’t mind seeing it again. Those green eyes flashing with rage, those teeth bared in a snarl… Dutch had to assume she’d be magnificent in her jaguar form.

“I didn’t kill you. In my book, you owe me one. And it’s hard to cash in my debts if the mark has gone underground,” he remarked, picking another fry and devouring it as Ari seemed to forget all about her shake.

“We’re awfully self-assured, aren’t we,” she snorted, but there was mirth in her tone, not all claws and daggers now.

“We have to be, yes. Don’t lie, baby, you’re no different.”

“What makes you say that?” Ari questioned, picking up her drink and taking another sip, her long fingers curling around the icy glass, breaking the beads of perspiration on it beautifully.
