Colby spread her legs and slowed her breathing. Mace reached around her to steady her arms, leaning into her back. His breath tickled the hair by her ear. “Steady, steady. Okay, squeeze.”

The gunshot made Colby flinch, but her shot hit dead-on.

“Ouch,” he groaned, looking at the target. He pressed the button and the paper target glided toward them. “You were supposed to go for center mass.”

She grinned. “Close enough. I got him where I want him.”

He stuck his pinky through the hole in the silhouette and wiggled it. “Yeah, right in the crotch. Sorry, buddy, there’ll be no more lil’ baby targets running around. She just neutered you.”

With a laugh, she said, “Put another one out there.”

He clipped a new target on, then pressed the button to send it out into the range. “Okay, this time—”

“This time, I can do it myself.”

He lifted his hands in surrender and backed off. “Fine. Whatever. I only want to help.”

“Mace, I wouldn’t own a gun without knowing how to shoot it.”

She barely caught the roll of his eyes. “Do you know what this world is filled with? People who buy firearms and can’t—”

Colby gave him a quick elbow to the stomach. “Don’t group me with them.”

“All right, show me what you can do, Miss Biochemist.” He brushed a kiss along her temple before backing off.

“That’s Ms. Biochemist to you.” She flashed him a big smile before turning to concentrate on her target. Supporting her trigger hand, she carefully took aim. Inhale, exhale all the air; steady. She kept an even pressure on the trigger and squeezed. The sound of the shot made her flinch again, but when she opened her eyes, she’d hit her target square.

“Nice. I want to see that again. But faster. Who will give you time to aim and shoot? A bad guy,” he pointed to the target, “will not wait around for you to shoot him. He’s either going to be running at you, running away from you, or blowing your head off.”

Colby smiled wickedly. “Shut up and put your ears back on.” He slid his hearing protectors back in place as she raised her Glock again. She called the body parts off as she aimed. “Head…Heart…Lung…Trigger arm…Groin…Leg…” Every bullet met its mark, one after the other, in quick succession. When nothing remained of the target but a tattered piece of paper, she slipped the clip out and double-checked the empty chamber. “He isn’t going anywhere,” she stated.

“Damn right, he’s not.” He shook his head. “Okay, we don’t need to waste any more time here at the range. Let’s go home, you’re getting me hard.” He chuckled and removed his shooting glasses. “Hot damn. A woman who can shoot and who’s good in bed. How lucky can I get?”

“Don’t push that luck.” Colby popped out her orange earplugs and put the gun away in its case. “Wait a minute, just good?”

He reached around her to snap the case shut, then snagged her wrists before she could pull away. He
