Chapter Nine

“I don’t care how you try to spin it, Harper. You’re not going in there alone and that’s final.”

Cogan leaned against the console, watching Harper pace at the other end of the room. After a night sandwiched between him and Sully, her hand lying across him to palm Jake’s chest, he hadn’t expected her to breech the subject of venturing into the facility alone again. But then, it didn’t fully surprise him, either. If she’d proven anything last night, it was how invested she was in their union. And he knew the operative in her would do whatever she thought necessary to keep them safe.

Cogan pushed a hand through his hair, tugging on the strands to ground himself. She was stubborn and difficult and the most beautiful creature he’d ever laid eyes on. Just watching her stare at him, eyes narrowed, mouth turned into the beginnings of a frown, made his heart race. His hands itch to touch her. To feel her move beneath him this time. Or to be the one to bury his cock in her ass.

His dick jerked at the thought, and he shifted slightly to relieve the growing bulge in his pants. Harper’s gaze dropped to his groin, the smug smile telling him she was more than aware of his condition. He glanced at Sully, but the man merely shrugged, nodding back at her.

Cogan sighed, moving over to Harper and taking one of her hands in his. “I get how hard this is for you. Really, I do. But it’s the same for us. Being lovers aside… We didn’t spend over a decade of our lives as firemen just to back down when a job gets difficult. Our need to keep you safe is as strong as yours, I promise you that.”

Harper pouted, looking at Sully and Jake before huffing out a breath, twining her fingers through Cogan’s. “Fine. We’ll figure something out.”

“Fine? Just like that? No kicking? No screaming? No kung-fu moves or hip throws?” He raised a brow. “Did I miss something?”

She shoved his chest, sighing when he held firm. “Don’t mistake compromise for surrender. Truth be told, my head is telling me to use every trick and move I know to knock you boys on your ass and ensure you stay put while I finish this thing.” She toed the floor, her lips twitching. “But my heart knows how much that would hurt if our places were reversed. Betrayed doesn’t begin to describe how I’d feel if you three didn’t trust me. How can I do that to you?” Her shoulders drooped. “And it’s not that I don’t trust you guys, it’s just…”

Cogan cupped her chin with his other hand. “It’s not easy letting someone else take a risk for you. Especially three jackasses you said you’ve fallen in love with.”

“I have. And you are.”

“We can live with that. Hell, Sully calls me worse on a daily basis.”

Sully stepped into view. “Can’t help it if you’re an ass, bro.”

Cogan laughed. “I suppose not.
