Isabelle’s driver dropped them at Niamey’s Airport where a C-17 Globemaster was finishing up its preflight checks. Blitz’s mood hadn’t changed much. He was still vehemently opposed to Bree going on this mission, and although he had mollified her regarding his opposition, she was aware he didn’t think she was prepared for what lay ahead.

She was determined to keep her game face in place if it killed her.

She hadn’t known what had made him act so obnoxious and unprofessional until he’d told her what was going through his mind, then his admission had made her anger dry up. What she did know was that leaning on him, even a little bit, would be dangerous. She’d spent most of her adult life learning how to lean only on herself. Just because things were looking promising, in and out of bed, didn’t mean it was easy for her to shore up her own defenses.

Part of her was freaked out and part of her was up for the challenge, not only because Blitz wasn’t happy about it, but because she knew her own skills, her limits, and he didn’t. God bless him, he was so angry, and that made her glow inside and made her wary. He’d have to care about her a lot to be so mad about it.

She’d seen his body, knew he was physically intimidating with layer upon layer of hard muscle, enough to rope his shoulders with a dozen of those layers, enough to six-pack his abs and burn the memory of him into every single cell she had. Yeah, that was one delicious memory.

And, oh God, he was so damn brave. She’d also seen that firsthand.

They exited the vehicle as crewmen rushed to remove chocks and blocks, preparing to roll out. They were traveling light. Blitz and Gator were still in their combat gear, and she had nothing but the clothes on her back, which weren’t exactly suited for the drastically different temperatures in Finland and Moscow, but she had been told the CIA had their gear and transportation locked down.

All she had to do was focus on getting prepared to jump out of a plane. Bree took a breath and tried to steady her nerves. She had agreed to this, and she was needed, an integral part of the mission. She’d made her decision back in the briefing room where she could have refused Isabelle. She was at the plane and there was no turning back now. Not that she wanted to. A few
