Chapter Fourteen

Was it possible to be thankful and pissed at the same time? Because that’s how Kam felt. Sitting there next to Six, silently wanting to kiss him while knocking him on his ass. Because he’d done it, again. Put himself between her and armed men—without even asking for help. And while a part of her loved him even more for it, the soldier part of her—the one still walking in that desert—was seeing red.

She’d understood why it had been necessary in Vegas. Owed her life to him. A debt she probably couldn’t repay. And true, she’d screwed up in the bar—hadn’t been quite quick enough. But, she’d been fully in the zone, tonight. Was prepared to take on whatever forces stood between them and the door—eliminate any threat, just like she’d been training to do—only to have him bench her while he took all the risks.

Sure, she could have confronted him on the stairs. Or in the alley. Or just forged ahead, regardless. But that would have only resulted in putting him at greater risk. Because in order for them to be effective fighting together, they needed to work as a team—like during that last dash after Six had tossed the flash bang. Not have both of them operating on their own agendas. Two rogue soldiers getting in each other’s way.

Six’s smile fell. Just vanished. As if she’d taken all the joy from his life. Broken something deep inside him. And damn, it made her want to take it back. Apologize. But, she couldn’t. They’d been partners for months. And she wasn’t going to let one kiss shatter that. Even if it had been mind-blowing. The kind of kiss that started wars. Or ended them.

Instead, she crossed her arms, staring at him with one brow raised, her lips pursed into a tight line. She’d dealt with this kind of double standard all her life, and she could sit there as long as required to get some answers.

Six rolled his shoulders, as if the weight of her stare affected him. “Kam—”

“Don’t. Don’t tell me that you’d simply been in a better position to strike. Or that you had fully intended on including me, but things had changed too suddenly. Or that I’m more valuable. None of that matters because until this morning, I thought we were partners. Equals. If something’s changed—if you think I’m not strong enough to have your back—then at least have the balls to tell me.”

A slash of red crept across his cheeks as the muscle in his jaw jumped. “Is that what you think? That I don’t see you as being strong enough to be my partner?”

“You tell me, because you seemed pretty damn upset about something in that bar the first night. Said Cannon wasn’t the only one with a grievance, and you’ve been shoving me behind your back, since, so… You do the math.”

Six glanced in the rearview, looking as if he wanted to pull over, but she knew he wouldn’t. That he wouldn’t
