Chapter Ten
Silence fell between them, brief, tense and marked by the meeting of two gazes, one brown and chill, one green and maddened. But it ended abruptly when the door to the office opened again and another male voice rang out in the now-crowded room.
âIf I were you, I would do what the lady says, Major. Somehow I doubt sheâs joking.â
Honor never broke her stare with Darin, but her jaw shifted and clenched. âThe next one to walk into my office without knocking will find himself decorating the floor in front of my fireplace.â
Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Loganâs lip twitching. âThat sounds kind of nasty, Darin. I think Iâd back off if I were you.â
âThat promise wasnât made exclusively to Darin.â
âMaybe not, but heâs the one whoâs going to have to defend himself from both sides in about thirty seconds if he doesnât back off.â
What started in a reasonable and slightly amused voice had become decidedly serious by the end of that statement. Honor clenched her teeth to keep herself from screaming. If sheâd been human, she probably would have screamed a split second later when Darin obeyed orders by removing his hands from her desk, but then ruined the moment of sanity by swinging around and launching himself straight for Loganâs throat.
The force of Darinâs attack forced Logan back through the door to the office and down the front steps of the small cabin that housed it. The two figures landed on the ground in the bare front yard, teeth snapping and hands clawing as Darin made the stupidest decision of his life and challenged a man who was not only stronger and faster than him, but also a hell of a lot smarter. As evidenced by the very attack itself.
Instead of screaming, Honor roared and leapt up out of her chair and over her desk to launch herself after the two combatants. By the time she found herself in the yard with them, she could already see blood, though she couldnât be sure whose it was, and the sounds of vicious growls and snarls seemed to echo in the air around them. If sheâd had a water hose, sheâd have turned it on the two of them, but as it was, all she could do was stand on the sidelines and recite every curse sheâd ever heard and a few new ones she had just made up herself. Necessity being the mother of invention and all.
She heard the sound of Max thundering outside right behind her and braced herself for impact just before he skidded to a halt beside her.
âHoly shit! Theyâre totally throwing down. Right here!â
âThis is not WWE, Max.â She figured if she clenched her jaw any harder it would shatter, but hey, she could still get the words out. âAnd Iâm going to kill one of them if they donât cut this out in the next ten seconds.â
âGotcha. One. Two. Threeââ
Honor howled then, not a happy sound, and leapt for the struggling figures.
