CHAPTER 12

Ferdinand

Shield Tumbles Down

Playtime’s over. Time to return to the real world. And it sucks. The interlude didn’t last long enough to suit me, and I could choke Landry for interrupting right as Bess hit her rhythm. Her breath had hitched, and her muscles were clenched around me. She’d been so close to coming…Now she won’t make eye contact, and she reconstructs her armor with each article of clothing she puts on. By the time she’s fully dressed in her uniform, she’s Lieutenant Caine again—hard-nosed, no-nonsense, closed off—almost as if my sweet and sensual Bess is nothing but a figment of my horn-dog imagination.

I scoop her pale pink panties off the floor. “Forget something?” I dangle the tiny bit of fabric in the air, letting her scent waft back at me, until she stomps over to snatch it from my hands.

“You’re such a child.” Her cheeks have a cherry stain. She stuffs the panties into her pocket, and I groan. Now every time I look at her, I’ll be thinking about her going bare-ass. And can those uniform pants be any tighter? They’re painted on, leaving nothing to my imagination. My brain has a short circuit. My wiring’s all faulty.

Bess taps her foot, waving for me to precede her outside. As I pass, she whips her hand out to squeeze my butt cheek. I gasp, scandalized. No, not really. But I’m shocked as hell by her chuckle.

She gives me a slant-eyed, come-hither look. “Yeah, gorgeous. Walk on in front so I can stare at that sweet, ripe ass.”

“Mon Dieu, Bess. That’s awful. Smarmy and sexist,” I say. “Don’t tell me you watch those late-night triple-X shows?”

She shrugs. “Nah, cher. I heard that line at a club once, back in my wild days. I always wondered if it’d sound as cheesy coming from me as it did from the tool who thought he was complimenting me.”

“It does.” I scrub a hand over my head and scowl at the stubble. I need a shave. “Never use a pickup line from a random tool on me again.”

“I’ll come up with something irresistible next time.” She slams the door behind us and slides her arm around my waist, like physical contact, in public, is no big deal. My shock leaves me rooted in place with my mouth hanging wide enough to sample a few dozen mosquitoes.

Bess tugs on my waist. “I can’t bodily move you along, but we’ve got to hurry before Landry makes a reappearance.”

Maybe I’m a selfish prick, but the meaning behind her words barely penetrate the cloud of euphoria filling my heart. Her actions warm me. It’s not over. She’s still by my side, still my sweet Bess. The surge of emotion has me clearing my throat and blinking at the stars. I hope she doesn’t notice because I couldn’t explain my previous fears if asked.

My voice sounds husky as I say, “Yes. Best not to get even higher on Landry’s shit list. Besides, I’m curious what Jasmine discovered.”

“What if it’s bad news?” Her voice has a slight wobble.
