SAM

Sweat poured down my face as I finished my third mile.

The time spent on assignment had taken me out of my routine. Sure, we’d been to Baz’s gym but I was used to running every single day. The soreness that was already setting in to my leg muscles was a reminder that I’d skipped far too many runs.

“If you overdo it, you’re going to lose your top spot today,” Kane said as he started the treadmill next to mine.

I may have been skipping runs but he didn’t spend near as much time in the Falls Security gym as he used to. Before Kane married Winnie, he’d often be the first of us in the door and the last one to leave. Now, he had a pregnant wife and it was obvious that the last place he wanted to be was away from her.

“In your dreams, Rodriguez. You think you can take me with that dad bod?” He frowned, looking down at his stomach which was as flat as ever. He may not work out like a crazy person anymore, but Kane was always the strictest of us when it came to his diet. Good nutrition was important, but nothing on this earth could make me give up pizza.

“Sam’s not going to break her winning streak by losing to you. It’s my name that’s going up there next, I can feel it!” Roe shouted at us from where he was stretching on the mats. He’d slid on a tight pair of hoochie daddy shorts this morning and it was taking all my concentration not to stare at his thick thighs.

My eyes narrowed and he blew me a kiss. I looked around the room but no one seemed to notice. When I glanced back at Roe, he had a slight frown on his face and I instantly felt guilty.

We hadn’t talked much about our relationship or whatever this was between us. There certainly hadn’t been a discussion of when or even if we were going to tell the rest of our team. To my knowledge there were no rules prohibiting interoffice romances but it still didn’t mean that our bosses were going to throw us a ‘congratulations you’re having sex with your coworker’ party.

It was obvious that of the two of us, I was the more reluctant to tell anyone. I had so much more to lose than him, simply by being the only female in the office. Roe knew some of the shit I’d had to put up with during my service and that was just the tip of the iceberg. Being a woman in a male-dominated field meant having to be faster, smarter, emotionless all to prove that I belonged there as much as any of the men.

It's not that I thought that Kane, Gage or Gray would judge me. I had too much respect for each of them to even entertain the thought but I couldn’t help but think that if they knew, I’d be seen as less than in their eyes.
