Chapter 19

The first ten minutes of our drive was done in silence. I was more annoyed than I should've been but after the morning I'd had, my nerves were fried. I couldn't remember a better way to wake up than in Brooks’ strong arms. And the two smokin' hot rounds of toe-curling sex were fantastic, too. It was the vulnerability I could've gone without. The verbal sparring where Brooks had outright told me he thought I was beautiful. I still didn’t believe him but when he'd promised to make me see what he saw, I wanted to. I wanted to feel as strong and as brave as he thought I was. I knew I was more than capable of doing my job, but I no longer felt courageous.

"We have a tail," Brooks told me, breaking the silence.

"White Mercedes?" I asked.

"Yep."

I'd been watching the car in the side mirror for the last few miles. The driver was trying to stay a few lengths back but he stupidly changed lanes every time Brooks had.

"Where are you going to try and ditch him?"

"Once we get closer to the naval base. On the north side, near the pedestrian entrance."

"There's nothing there but small side streets. Most are one-way. I think you should stay on the Causeway, take the last exit before the bridge. To the east of the base, there's nothing but industrial parks, it will be safer without the congestion of all the shops on the north side."

"I agree less traffic, but a wide-open space gives him a better opportunity to catch up. Not to mention, a straight shot if he opens fire."

"Ah. I hadn't realized Brooks Miller was afraid of a little gun play."

"Being shot at is not my most favorite pastime. I'm more concerned about what the passenger's packing. I'd prefer not to give them the range to detonate an RPG."

That was my preference as well. I'd had enough of having missiles shot at me for a lifetime.

"Take us into the industrial park. Better to be on the offensive."

"And what? You gonna go all Wile E. Coyote? Did I miss where you packed your dynamite and boomerang?"

I would've been pissed if it wasn't for Brooks' playful tone. Something strange hit my chest, normally when I picked up a tail, adrenaline kicked in and I got a little nervous. I was always by myself. I had no one to rely on but me. But today I had Brooks, and in turn, he had me. The heart-pounding fear of someone hunting me was absent. Together, Brooks and I would figure something out.

"You totally missed me packin' the car. I have my Wonder Woman Underoos on under my cargos, too."

"Goddamn, Doll," he choked out. "You cannot tell me shit that is going to make my dick hard while some asshole is following us."

His comment made me smile. "I can't? Why not?"

Brooks gave me a sideways glance as he weaved in and out of traffic, putting more space between us and the Mercedes.

"They're not gonna wait until we get to the exit.
