Chapter 7

Neha stared up at the ceiling in her tiny room that was going to be home for the next few months. Mentally exhausted, she tried to get comfortable but wasn’t able to do so. She tossed and turned while searching for that place where she could succumb to the exhaustion streaming over her.

That entire thing had been intense. All the accusations flying at her, made her sick to her stomach. This wasn’t fair. if it was her brother, why the fuck was he doing this to her? None of it made sense.

Sure, he was an ass and probably was holding a huge grudge since she kicked him out of her place, but to do something like this? She’d not thought he’d had it in him.

Then again I would have thought my parents would be proud of what I’ve done. Not, ambivalent and telling me to support my brother’s drug habit. So there we go. I’m obviously shitty when it comes to what should and shouldn’t be thought.

She rolled over on her side, wishing she were home.

Being in Davin’s arms would be even nicer. Davin. Even thinking about him brought a level of calmness to her. Not the only thing his mental image created but right now, she was to tired to think about sex. At least on her own.

Closing her eyes, she allowed the familiar sounds of her boat to lull her to sleep. It wasn’t the best sleep and she was still a bit disoriented when she woke, but even at half alertness, she knew the steps to take here, on the Puerto Rico.

She leaned against the wall, fighting for breath as the thought of not being able to call this submarine home any longer hit her. It wasn’t fair.

“I fought for this. I bled for this. I’m not lying here and letting them take it all away on some trumped up charge.”

Her words fell like daggers and she dug down for the strength she had relied on all through school and training. Hell, even now when she had to work with men who didn’t feel she belonged. Who despised her from entering the “men’s club” of the submarine world.

“Fuck them all. This is my boat and I’m not giving up.”

She almost felt better. By the time she finished her short, so fucking short, shower and had dressed for the day her mask was back in place and to look at her, one wouldn’t know all the turmoil going on inside.

What was the expression, almost only counts in history, hand grenades and horseshoes? unless you were Navy then it got added thermonuclear weapons.

She navigated the passageway with familiarity, avoiding who she had to and meeting the stares head on. She had nothing to be ashamed of. This was not something that she had done.

As soon as her CO let her off the boat, however, it would be something that she was going to finish. Once and for all.

She’d worked hella hard for this life she’d carved out for
