I don’t want to get away.

I tell Cam not to go soft on me during training, though I honestly thought he’d go a little soft. But no. He pushes me harder than I’ve ever been pushed. And I sweat more than I ever have in my life. I only thought that first day of Spy School was strenuous on me—that was nothing compared to what Cam is putting me through.

I think the worst part of all of it is the running. I’ve run in my life. That was something Jason and I would do together during the summers—we’d run early in the mornings as the sun would rise. But Cam makes me run harder, and faster, and longer than I’m used to, and it’s quite tiring. When I tell him I’m done running, he tells me I’m not done.

Maybe I should feel flattered that he’s not going soft on me just because I’m a girl... or because I’m his girlfriend. But... maybe there should be some perks, right?

“I’m your girlfriend. Shouldn’t you go easy on me?” I pant the words between breaths.

“The fact that you’re my girlfriend only makes me want to push you harder.” Cam turns up the speed on the treadmill. “I need you to be able to fight. I’m not going to let you out of my sight long enough to get kidnapped again, but if something happens and we get separated, I want to know that you’ll be okay.”

His words are sweet.

I push through, even when my legs are burning and my lungs feel like they can’t get enough oxygen. I push, not just for me, but for all of my guys. I want them to feel confident that I can take care of myself if I need it.

Once we finish on the treadmill, Cam wants to work on my combat skills. No weapons, just our bodies.

Cam pins me to the ground. He does it so effortlessly.

“Try to get away,” he says in my ear, making me shiver.

“But I don’t want to get away.” The words slip out without even thinking, but they’re true. I really like this position we’re in. I squirm underneath him.

“Zara, focus.” But I can hear that he’s grinning. And I can feel something very hard pressed against my lower stomach.

It’s really hard to focus when Cam is on top of me like this.

I don’t want to focus. I just want to feel him.

To kiss him.

To make him mine.

“Zara.” He groans the words, almost like a prayer. Or a curse. I’m not sure which, though I’m not sure he knows either.

Cam leans back so he can look me in the eye. He tries to give me a stern look by narrowing his eyes, but I can see the desire in them. And even if I couldn’t see it, I can feel just how much he wants me. I lean up and kiss him. I expect him to fight me, but he doesn’t.

When he relaxes his body, that’s when I make my move. I propel him forward, pushing him off me and pinning him down.
