Chapter Seventeen

‡

Daegan couldn’t believe that Ferrin thought so little of what was between them that she even reiterated Starr’s word fleeting. It was also insulting at best to say their past interlude had ended abruptly. It made it sound like he’d done his duty and wasn’t needed for anything else. In the back of his mind he knew that he was the one responsible for her mindset, but she could have had more faith. He wrapped his fingers around her wrist and led her farther down the passageway opposite of the pantry locker. He wasn’t about to take her up to the navigation deck and aft to the radio room until they had a few things sorted out in a slightly less travelled location. As it was, they were all emotionally charged after what had just occurred. They could use a moment to calm down and catch their collective breaths.

“You’re the one who said this was nothing more than a brief fling. Now you suddenly want to propose?” Ferrin whispered in obvious exaggeration, her voice coming out a little too harsh for his liking. “Do you understand that my professional life has been turned upside down since I’ve gotten personally involved with you? Back in October, the information you had me look into ended up sending the team to Missouri and almost getting Doc’s wife killed. Can you imagine if Starr finds out about that after everything else? This mission itself has been nothing more than a valuepak clusterfuck and as Starr just pointed out, I’m somehow tied up in all of it. My life has been thrown into chaos and it all comes down to your black cloud in my life, Schleprock.”

“Bullshit.” Daegan backed Ferrin up against the bulkhead so she couldn’t leave without hearing what he had to say. “This job is responsible for all of that. You’re a subcontractor under the employment of a privatized paramilitary hostage rescue team, Ferrin. What the hell did you expect? Lunch at the country club? This isn’t some goddamn cruise line where you’re maintaining radio channels for a corporation who makes money from providing crazy people the opportunity for vacation escapes to the armpits of the world. What we do means something and you’re a part of that mission. This thing between us has nothing to do with our jobs and everything to do with the fact that we’re attracted to one another in the harsh environment we’ve both elected as our career workplace.”

“You make my life quite disordered.” Ferrin finally met his gaze with irritation and something else that he couldn’t name. Her grey eyes were dark as if a storm was brewing within them and he weighed his options on continuing this conversation out in the open. She stood straighter and lifted her chin a little higher. “We both agreed this would end when we returned to the States and now you’re recanting. You don’t get to make that kind of decision without me and I’m not even sure if you’re telling the truth to anyone, including yourself.
