Chapter Nine

Oh, God. Hale had just jumped onto a moving vehicle.

Elin fell in behind the other four-wheel drive. She had a perfect view of Hale clinging to the Land Rover’s roof.

The Silk Road driver started swerving from side to side, trying to shake Hale loose. With her heart in her throat, Elin watched, keeping pace. If Hale fell…

Come on, Hale. Let’s see those superhuman SEAL skills.

She watched as he climbed across the roof. Then suddenly, he rolled to the side, almost sliding off the car completely. That’s when she realized the Silk Road thugs were shooting upwards through the roof.

She had to do something. She revved, speeding right up to their bumper. She couldn’t ram them and risk Hale falling. But maybe she could—

Bullets peppered her windshield and she ducked.

—distract them. She peered up, trying to keep right behind the other vehicle.

Hale was over the driver’s side now, then he slipped over the edge, hanging upside down at the driver’s side window. The SUV veered off the track and into the desert.

Elin slowed and watched Hale slide inside the vehicle, her heart trying to hammer its way out of her chest. She was known for her nerves of steel back in the office, but Hale Carter was testing her.

Suddenly, the vehicle stopped swerving, and did a wide turn. It headed back toward her.

Tense, she braked to a stop, and waited. The heavy tinting on the windows made it impossible to tell what was going on inside the vehicle.

The Land Rover pulled up beside her, and Hale opened the driver’s side window and grinned at her.

Elin didn’t stop to think. She threw the Land Rover into Park, slammed open her door, and stomped over to him.

“Do you have a death wish?” she yelled.

“Well, I—”

“Leaping from a moving vehicle? Onto another moving vehicle?” She watched as he opened the door and stepped out. Behind him, the bodies of two Silk Road guards were slumped motionless in their seats.

“Getting shot at,” she continued. “Climbing into a car full of armed mercenaries out to kill you!”

“Well, there were only two—”

“Be quiet.”

“Elin—”

She fisted a hand in his T-shirt and yanked him forward. Then, she went up on her toes to press her mouth to his.

He was still for a second, then his mouth moved on hers, parting her lips. His tongue delved into her mouth. She reached up, gripping his shoulders. Desire shot through her like a bullet.

He took control of the kiss, and she liked it. The demanding sweep of his tongue, the way his big hands cupped her ass. She ground against him, needing more, needing to be closer.

Finally, they broke the kiss, both of them gasping for air.

“I’d do it again in a heartbeat, knowing that’s what I’ll get at the end.”

She smacked his shoulder, still trying to get coherent thoughts to form.

“I’m fine,” he murmured against her lips.

“Don’t scare me like that again.”

“Yes, ma’am.” He ran a hand over her hair. “Now, let’s put some distance between us and Silk Road.”

Elin took some breaths and stepped back from him.
