Chapter Ten

A week and a half.

That’s how long it took to find Akhund, kill him, report on their investigation to the head honchos at the base in Afghanistan, and get back to Texas.

Brain was more than ready to see Aspen again.

He’d only managed to communicate via email twice since she’d left the base, since much of his time had been spent hunting down Akhund. But he’d learned that Aspen’s leg was mostly healed, and she hadn’t seen or talked to Derek or the rest of her team yet.

She’d been in Germany a few days before flying home. Her parents had flown down from Minnesota after they’d heard she’d been shot, and had just left the day before.

Brain also knew Aspen would be returning to work soon, and that she wasn’t looking forward to it. Even though they’d only shared emails, he could read the uncertainty in her words.

“You going to see Aspen?” Oz asked.

Brain nodded. They were at the airport at Fort Hood, and for the first time, he understood Trigger and Lefty’s urgency to see their women after a mission.

“She know you’re back?”

“I’m gonna text her right before I leave here to head to her apartment,” Brain said.

“You sure that’s a good idea?”

Brain frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Just that she might want more of a head’s up that you’re coming over. Chicks like to dress up and look their best when they see their boyfriends.”

Brain pressed his lips together for a second. Then said, “We aren’t really boyfriend/girlfriend yet.”

Oz raised his eyebrows. “Really? That goodbye kiss said differently. And…all the more reason for you to give her a proper head’s up.”

Brain hadn’t thought about anything besides seeing her, but he thought Oz might just have a point. He pulled out his phone without a word.
