Hell, why had he gone and blurted out that he’d failed Whitlock? He hadn’t spoken of the incident to a single soul since he was debriefed and counseled. If anyone asked, he’d tell them the same thing—he was fine. Whitlock died protecting his country.

Something about Taliyah had him blurting out too much. Feeling too much.

He didn’t have emotions other than eat, sleep, take down enemies and fuck. He was a machine.

But Whitlock’s death tore down that wall, didn’t it? Bishop was getting soft.

Laying hands on Taliyah had been a bad idea too. Her touching his face was an even worse one.

He was going to try his damnedest to keep her safe, but clearly Richard and whoever he’d sent after her wanted her silenced. Which usually meant dead.

His last time guarding someone’s six, he’d been unsuccessful. He couldn’t let that happen with Taliyah.

If he was honest, this was the driving force behind him turning Sparrow down about joining SEAL Team Blackout. The missions didn’t scare him. It was the fear of fucking up and costing Sparrow his life. Or Goodman or Hendrix or the rest of them.

Taliyah knocked on the paneled wall again but quickly yanked her fist back.

“What happened?” He reached her in a step, already searching for another beetle.

To his shock, she brushed her lips across the reddened skin of her knuckles and then massaged them with her other hand.

Did she just kiss her own boo-boo? Hell, could she get any more endearing or drive him crazier? His cock had been battering his fly every time she got within grabbing range. Since he’d seen her ass wiggling and her soft breasts inches from his face, he’d been in a constant state of torment.

“Let me see.” His tone mimicked the grittiness of sandpaper. When he encircled her dainty wrist with his fingers and drew her hand toward his face to examine her knuckles, he thought about giving in to his lust and sucking one of her fingers into his mouth.

Fuck, now he was harder, the head of his cock shoving toward the waist of his jeans. Another half inch and his cock would poke out and wet his stomach with precum.

“You should wrap your hand in a cloth. You’ve been knocking on the walls and floors for an hour. I’m not sure there’s any hidden compartment anyway.” He peeled his fingers off her wrist, though it took effort.

She drew her hand to her side. “If it wasn’t at the cabin, it has to be here.”

“All right. Let’s start at the beginning. What would clear his name?”

When she went into analytical mode, not only could he see the wheels turning in her brain but she did this adorable thing with her mouth, sucking one corner of her lip between her teeth. It was making him insane.

She was making him insane.

She paced across the room.

Good—he could use some distance between them.

Then she dropped onto the bunk.

Bad. Very bad. Images of cloaking her with his body, bearing her down to claim her mouth as his own churned through his body.
