Chandler

“Take what you can get,” the Instructor said. “Then take even more.”

It was like kissing a tree. Tequila didn’t so much as flinch. No lip action. No tongue fencing. No arm around my waist, snugging me close.

I pulled back, confused. Never kissed a guy before who didn’t kiss back. “Everything OK?”

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“Coming on to you. That’s not obvious?”

“Why?”

The passion I’d felt a moment earlier was rapidly becoming annoyance. We’d been sparring, working up a healthy sweat, and we obviously had a connection. So what was his deal? “A girl can’t get horny? Only men are allowed?”

Tequila stared at me, his face a stone mask. I pulled away to arm’s length.

“What’s your problem, Tequila?”

He folded his arms across his chest. “I’m not the one with the problem.”

“Who has the problem?” I asked. “Fleming? If it’s my sister, she said this was OK. She even encouraged it.”

“I like your sister, Chandler. And I like you.”

OK. So what was the problem? I cozied up again, running my palm down his washboard stomach, fiddling with the top button of his jeans.

“I like you, too,” I said, giving him a naughty smile.

“But I’m not an eraser.”

My smile vanished, and I narrowed my eyes. “Excuse me?”

“What Fleming and I did last night, that was healthy. We were celebrating life. Right now, you just want to use me to erase Lund from yours.”

I wanted to say he was wrong, but of course, he wasn’t. I put my hands on my hips. “So what if I do? That’s a bad thing?”

“You don’t want me, Chandler. You want him. But you won’t get him if you sleep with me. You don’t want to get laid. You want to punish Lund so he hates you. And I won’t help you screw your life up more than it already is.”

Annoyance became anger. “Who the hell are you to tell me my life is screwed up?”

Tequila put his hands on my shoulders and held me in a vise-like grip.

“You’re a train wreck, Chandler. You kill complete strangers for the government. You’ve almost died half a dozen times in the past twenty-four hours and haven’t stopped once to think how fucked up that is. I’m not sure if you’re constantly putting yourself in danger to punish yourself, or if you truly have a death wish, but when you go down, everyone around you is going to go down as well. I don’t want to be one of those people.”

I broke his grip and tried to slap him. He caught my wrist.

“Grow up,” he said.

Grow up? This munchkin was telling me to grow up? Furious now, I went to knee him in the crotch. He gave me a double-handed push, knocking me onto my ass.

OK, you want to play? We’ll play.

I kipped up to my feet, pivoted my hips, and went for a spin kick. He caught my leg, leaned back, and tossed me aside, sending me twirling to the ground.

“What are you trying to prove, Chandler? You want to
