Chapter 15

Later that afternoon Fisher sat in the main room of the garage, trying to block the rush of regret that came with walking away from Zach.

The sensation proved all too familiar. Back before everything blew apart he’d spend hours worrying about Zach. Leaving him had gotten harder and harder with each assignment. Thinking about the danger of his job and what that could mean for Zach had kept Fisher up at night. Had him joking with Zach about taking a firearms course “just for fun” and practicing at the range.

Guess the joke was on him with that one.

He didn’t have any idea what love was supposed to feel like. If this was it, he’d pass, because this sucked.

The constant sense of getting everything wrong. The weird insecurity and not knowing. Yeah, it big-time sucked.

To keep his mind off Zach for at least a few minutes, Fisher paged through previously locked-down intel Helena had provided about Pentasus, some documents printed and others on the computer monitors in front of him. The words and lines blurred into a long black smudge, but not before Fisher got the gist.

This group took danger to a new level. They weren’t believers in anything. Worse, they could be won over by the highest bidder. That meant tracing their tentacles and ferreting them out would be tough. Maybe impossible without firsthand knowledge. But getting that didn’t make the idea of Zach going back in any easier.

He felt the heat of a gaze and didn’t look up. He’d been under watch for a good five minutes now. Not a surprise by whom since Nathan sat right across from him, tapping a pen against the table. Even made a hmpf-ing sound now and then. The guy wasn’t exactly subtle.

Tap. Tap.

That clicking sound zeroed right in on Fisher’s brain. He debated breaking the pen or Nathan’s fingers. He went with giving him the attention he so clearly wanted. “What?”

Nathan shrugged. “Nothing.”

This game was just about the last thing Fisher wanted to play. “Then why are you staring at me?”

Nathan made a dramatic showing of lowering the pen and sitting up straight in his seat. “I’m trying to figure out why you’re down here when your boyfriend is up there.”

That topic was off limits, probably forever. “He’s not my boyfriend.”

But that’s all it took. Nathan mentioned a “him” and an image of Zach popped into Fisher’s head. The way those green eyes lit up when Fisher entered him. The lean body and perfect face. So fucking hot.

Nathan hummed. When Fisher didn’t bite, he tried tapping again, then just started rambling. “It’s just sex then?”

Fisher closed the file in front of him and slid it to the side. “We’re not doing this.”

“Fine.” Nathan looked back down at the papers in front of him.

Fisher had no idea what he was studying so diligently. Didn’t really care. They were all burning through time, waiting for whatever the hell was going to happen. Basically, these hours amounted to a death march for Zach, so
