Chapter 11: BK

I didn’t think anything of Megan’s arms around me when we had ridden, although I certainly had a lot to think about from our previous fifteen minutes in her office.

But when we got there and she didn’t let go… I definitely realized that I was developing feelings for her. There was no real reason to deny it, anyway; what reason did I have for denying her? Because she’d walked out scared after gunshots had gone off at one of our first meetings?

In any case, when she had revealed as much as she had to me at her office, it shocked me to see just how much we had in common. We both had a real fear about revealing our fullest selves to other people; mine was just to maintain an image of toughness and brutality as the sergeant-in-arms, while hers was self-motivating, a way to get to where she was career-wise. We’d especially had difficulty doing that with ourselves, let alone with other people.

Sharing that moment of vulnerability… I’d been scared. I was nervous that doing so would make me some kind of wimp. Certainly, in the Marines, if I had expressed such concern, I would’ve been laughed at, dismissed, and told to buck the fuck up.

But this wasn’t the Marines. This was the world I lived in now. This was Megan.

We shared more in common than just that too. We were both smarter than people gave us credit for—well, maybe I was smarter than people gave me credit for. But then, Megan had grown up with people constantly telling her she wasn’t good enough, so maybe it was more apt.

We both had tragedies in our past. Yes, maybe some people would have said that losing your friends in combat was a worse fate than a breakup. But I wasn’t in the business of comparing pain. Pain was pain, and all that Megan could look at was the pain she was experiencing.

In any case, though, these commonalities were bringing what could only be described as one of the most unlikely pairings together.

And I had to say, the more time that passed, the more I wasn’t just liking her—the more I was thinking about making a move on her and just seeing what might happen.

And then her arms slid away. I wasn’t necessarily disappointed by it—well, OK, maybe a little—but it was a reminder that she had come here not for sex or romance but to help me figure out which of her clients had informed the DMs to target her office. We had to figure that out before they got more aggressive, especially if they knew that she was riding with me.

I had made sure that no one was following us, and I was quite sure that I had eluded any stalkers. Unfortunately, a place like Sunset Boulevard had plenty of vantage points that would make it all but impossible for anyone to pick up that they were being watched; we just had to make sure that we kept things in line as needed.
