Chapter 20

“Tell me more about your job,” Christa said after the two of them settled into their seats and ordered their meals at the Chinese restaurant she chose. “Is it just the four of you? You, Jason, and two other guys who are also former Army?”

Mack nodded. He was finally starting to relax. He’d spent all Friday and Saturday stressing over how things really stood between him and Christa since she’d moved out. But everything seemed fine. “Yes. Tank owns the company. His real name is Jake Robinson. He and Sweets—Bracken Turner—were the first to leave the Army. Sweets only works part-time.”

She nodded. “I know Trent and Jason were special forces. I guess you were too?”

“Yes. Delta.”

“And Bracken and Jake? Also Deltas?”

“Yep. From another team. Jake is originally from the Dallas area also. He started the company. Bracken retired from the Army, so he gets a pension. He could live comfortably enough off it if he chose, but extra income is nice, too.”

“He’s never been married?”

“Unless you count being married to the Army, no.” Mack smiled. Bracken was only thirty-nine, but the guy thought he had missed the boat as far as marriage was concerned. They all kept trying to tell him he was crazy, but he seemed perfectly content being single.

Christa giggled. “So, what exactly do you all do at Westside Programmers? Or will it be totally over my head?”

“We’re freelance, so businesses hire us to do all sorts of things. Mostly involving code. That’s the short answer.”

Her smile spread again. “Perfect. Anything more would be out of my lane. It’s great that you guys could go into business together. I bet you have a blast.”

“We do. Except lately.” He was going out on a limb here, and he reached across the table and took one of her hands in his. “Lately, it’s Gang-Up-On-Mack Month while they all grill me about you every day.”

Her flush pleased him and she leaned forward, setting her free elbow on the table. “And what do you tell them?”

Oh, she was good.

“That I really like you, and we’re taking things slow.”

She cocked her head to one side. “Remind me again why we’re taking things slow?”

He chuckled. She was so cute. “Because of the first half of that sentence. I really like you.”

“Ah. Well, I really like you too, and I don’t think slow is necessary anymore.” Her face turned completely red.

He knew it was hard for her to say that, and his cock stiffened at her insinuation. He also knew he had some decisions to make about what direction he wanted to go, and he wasn’t ready to make them yet. Half of him thought: What the fuck, just tell her you’re a kinky bastard. The other half threw up a red flag and said: Stop right there, put on the brakes, and find your inner vanilla so you don’t lose her.

She licked her lips and took a deep breath. “Not gonna lie, Mack. You’re starting to make me suspicious. Twice you’ve had me basically naked beneath you.
