WYATT SAW THE sadness in Tal’s eyes as they got ready to leave the room. They’d showered together an hour before, and he’d made love to her one last time beneath the warm, flowing water. Tal was as sexually hungry for him as he was for her. They couldn’t get enough of one another. It was as if they were in a mating fever. She’d never experienced this with another man. She sat on the couch, pulling on her second boot, as Wyatt sauntered over.

“What time are you leaving tonight?” he asked, dreading the answer. He didn’t want her to leave him, and this mission was especially dangerous.

Tal sighed and straightened. “Twenty-one hundred.” And then she added in whisper, “This is the first time I don’t want to leave Bagram, Wyatt.”

He sat down in the overstuffed leather chair opposite her and asked, “Why?” Then he waited for the answer he was hoping for.

“Because of you . . . and this.” Tal gestured to the quiet room. “And us . . . I can’t think straight . . . All I can do is feel you, feel how hot and alive my body is, and I want you over and over again. I don’t want to leave you. I want to stay here and keep making love with you until I faint from utter pleasure and exhaustion.”

“Sure, sure,” he teased gently. “Give you an hour back at your office and you’ll come down to earth in a big hurry.”

She smiled a little and sat back, hands on her thighs. “This was different for me, Wyatt.”

“What was?”

Tal shook her head. “I don’t know. It just feels different, and it’s too soon. I can’t define everything I’m feeling.”

“Good feelings, I hope?” He raised a brow, holding her troubled gaze.

“Yes. Almost too good.”

“What? You think I’m a desert mirage that’s going to disappear by the time you return off that op?” He wanted to lift her out of that kind of worry. And it was definitely there in Tal’s forest-green eyes.

“You’re going out on a DA in two days. I’m worried about you, too.”

Wyatt supposed he should have been overjoyed by her concern, but he wasn’t. He needed Tal to be clearheaded when she was on her mission. “Look,” he said soothingly, “I know my job and I know my team. I worry more about you, Tal. You’ve got a tough mission that could go sideways on you at any time. If anyone should worry, it should be me.”

She gave him a wry look. “That’s how I feel about you! Don’t worry, I’ll be fine—that’s such a SEAL saying. You guys always say ‘I’m okay, I’m okay,’ and you could be bleeding out.” She gave him a disgusted look. “So don’t tell me you’re fine. Just tell me the truth. Okay?”

“I’ll always be honest with you. I just don’t want you distracted. You need to keep your wits about you.”

“Yes,” she sighed, looking around, her voice softening, “and this is why having an emotional relationship in combat doesn’t work.
