Slate glanced over at Ashleigh an hour later. She’d finally fallen asleep, her head resting against the window of his rented Jeep as he cruised along the highway. He knew she was scared, but she hadn’t freaked out when they’d left the cabin in the middle of the night. She’d dressed, packed, and let him lead her safely to his Jeep.

He’d scouted the area again before bringing her outside. Ashleigh had gotten ready quickly, but he’d wanted to make sure nothing happened to her. When she’d shown up at his bedroom door at three in the morning, looking scared in her pajama pants and top, he’d instantly been alert. There’d been something almost intimate about seeing her in the middle of the night like that—tousled blonde hair, pajamas hugging her curves. They clearly weren’t intended to be sexy. It’s not like she’d come out in skimpy lingerie. But her nipples had pressed against the thin cotton top, the soft fabric had clung to her curves, and he hadn’t been able to resist, letting his gaze rake over her.

He’d been out of bed in an instant, ignoring the tightening in his groin, his only concern for her safety. Yes, she was beautiful, but something deeper pulled at him when she was near. He wanted to protect her and slay all her demons. She was clearly wary of ever getting serious with a man again. Her ex must’ve been a total jackass. He couldn’t imagine cheating on any woman, let alone her.

Something in her eyes made him want to prove to her that he was a good man. Yes, he’d seen violence and war over the years. His time in the military had no doubt hardened him. That didn’t mean he couldn’t be careful around her. Something about Ashleigh softened him—him, a hardened warrior. He didn’t remember ever feeling that way about his ex-wife. Yes, he’d been attracted to her and enjoyed the sex in the beginning, before they began to drift apart. He’d never felt the burning desire to care for and protect her though. With Ashleigh, that instinct had been almost immediate, and he’d barely known her.

And that kiss?

She’d looked so frightened sitting on the bed, he hadn’t been able to hold himself back any longer. He wanted to kiss and soothe her, reassure Ashleigh that she was okay. Someday he’d love to strip her down and make love to her, but he’d just met the woman two days ago. He wouldn’t rush her into anything, but hell if he wouldn’t do everything in his power to assure Ashleigh that he was a good man.

Slate’s phone buzzed, and he quickly grabbed it. “Striker here,” he said in a low voice.

“Commander, this is Ace.”

“Tell me you have information on Jacob Glasgow.”

“Negative, sir. He was possibly traveling under an alias. A Jacob Glasgow did fly into Seattle this afternoon, but there’s nothing tying him to the domestic terror cell or any of their immediate contacts.”

“God damn it,” Slate muttered. “So he either boarded the plane with a fake ID or was hired by them to come look for me.
