Chapter Twelve

The Shifter bar the groupies had directed Walker to lay almost straight south of San Antonio. Towns thinned out once they left the I-10 between San Antonio and Houston, growing sparser as Walker steered Rebecca’s motorcycle down a two-lane highway that stretched into darkness.

Rebecca’s strong arms wrapped him from behind, her body soft against him as they balanced together. He already loved riding with her, never wanted to stop.

Walker was breaking his own rules right and left, especially the one about mixing sexual pleasure with an op. He completed the mission first—then he could go out and celebrate with a beautiful woman.

He’d done covert missions with women before, including one in which he pretended to be the husband of a female operative, but they’d been totally professional. The woman had been married to another guy anyway. After the mission, her husband had joined them for after-mission revelry at a bar. The woman had walked away arm-in-arm with her husband, and Walker had gone home alone.

Easier to feel nothing in a job like his. He’d seen too much death, too much cruelty for the sake of it. Better to live in a black-and-white world—do the job, celebrate a victory or survive a defeat, go home and sleep.

What had begun as a way to keep himself sane had grown into habit, and now he didn’t know any other way.

Kissing Rebecca in the hall to keep the Shifters from catching on to what they were doing had broken open something inside him. He fought like hell to contain it, but it was too late.

The moment he’d wrapped his arms around her and dragged her against him, Walker had known he’d screwed up. He hadn’t wanted to let go. One taste of her, and he was doomed—he’d always known he would be. She wound him up like no other woman had, and not just because she was Shifter. She was Rebecca.

After this—after this . . . Hell, if there was an after this, he’d take her to bed, as he’d told her. Once, at the very least. They knew each other now, they could toast their success with drinks and a night of intense pleasure.

Walker knew, though, as Rebecca adjusted her hold, her hands warm in the darkness, that once with her would never be enough.

Walker leaned into a turn that took them to an even smaller road leading out into emptiness. Broderick’s headlamp behind him cut into the night as Broderick followed with Joanne perched behind him.

The bar Walker sought lay four more miles down this highway, outside a town that was all but dried up. The town’s main crossroads didn’t even have a stoplight, its main intersection marked with a faded stop sign shot through with bullet holes. Walker and Broderick rode past the few houses, most of them boarded up, and out the other side of the town. The roadhouse was a mile and a half from there.

Not as many vehicles filled this lot, but that didn’t mean the place was empty.
