Hazard’s hands shook as he put together the MRE for Leigh. His lungs felt tight, his breathing choppy. Blood pounded in his temples, and his heart was heavy. He felt completely drained and totally wasted. But he was desperate to see her.

They had retreated to one of the buildings, half his buddies resting and eating, and the other half maintaining their perimeter. He looked down at the food: Beef stew, his favorite, along with an oatmeal cookie, another fav, and his last one. He shook his head, and he gave himself a little swift kick. He hadn’t been likely to share this delicious part of his kit with anyone.

He had to temper this feverish heat and undeniable hunger Leigh caused whenever she was near him. But she’d been through more hell than a lawyer should be, and definitely more than a woman deserved. Frustration with the entire situation, along with his unwanted attraction to her, made everything all the more complicated. He admired her tenacity to go after what she wanted and found her argumentative personality a turn-on. Damn her.

He went into the building that had a crude barracks and bunks, one of which Leigh was sitting on, Anna next to her.

When the door opened, Leigh reacted immediately, pressing back like she was being threatened. That feeling came over him again and his observant brain often wondered about the intensity that generated this type of feeling in others.

Rage.

He was beginning to think he was way in over his head when it came to her, and he wasn’t quite sure what to do about that realization.

So, he clenched his jaw, his anger suppressed only by his helplessness. Christ, she looked so scared and vulnerable, and he wasn’t used to seeing her that way. He’d been responsible for her safety, and he’d failed to keep her out of harm’s way, and that was something that ate at him like acid. Another jolt of guilt punched him hard in the gut, but he didn’t want to dwell on her attack. That fucker was just outside, trussed up like the pig he was. He clenched his hand around the fork he was carrying.

There were so many ways to kill a man…Hazard pushed those dark thoughts away. He wouldn’t cross that line. Leigh had asked him not to, but he couldn’t reconcile the feeling that if she asked him, he would turn into a cold-blooded killer for her.

Feeling the weight of uncertainty in his meager offer of food for someone who had been through her kind of ordeal was at best naive, at worst stupid. He hated feeling ineffectual, useless, at a heartbreaking loss. This whole thing with Leigh was out of his wheelhouse, especially all these negative emotions that had never affected him before. He didn’t know how to handle them, and he was sure reconstituted beef stew and an oatmeal cookie weren’t going to make her feel better in any way.

But it couldn’t hurt. He was certain of that. She had to be hungry.
