What the fuck was I thinking?

Actually scratch that, I obviously wasn’t thinking clearly at all. I left all thought processes behind days ago.

The past few days have been a whirlwind and I have no idea what I’m doing anymore. I am a US Marshal. Law and order has been everything I stand for, for so many years. And now it feels like I slipped down the steep slide to hell and, if I’m being honest with myself, I’m not doing anything to stop that slide.

And I officially can’t use Lexi as my excuse anymore.

When we started a relationship together, when I was protecting her, we had both been in a heightened emotional state and leaned heavily on each other. I was the one who put the brakes on when I realized what we were doing wasn’t right, and I could no longer be objective when protecting her if we were together.

I cared for her and it interfered with my judgment. But I didn’t love her.

So I was telling the truth when I said I was happy for the relationship she found with Colt and his men. They certainly love her more than I did.

I never met Ashley while I was with Lexi, and I wonder if I would have seen the end of my relationship with Lexi sooner if I had. Because as much as she irritates me and goes out of her way to poke at me, my heart never raced for Lexi the way it does for Ashley. From the moment she barrelled into that room with her big attitude and small body it has been hard to hide how she affects me.

And if it were just her, that might have been fine. But it appears she comes with baggage. And that baggage has me questioning everything I’ve ever known.

How exactly did I go from law abiding citizen to being neck deep in criminals? Not just neck deep… The memories of the car trip to retrieve Stine have played on repeat in my mind since we returned.

Rick is the one to break the silence in the car on the way back to the warehouse. “So, back to my question,” he says leaning towards my seat. “Have you ever been fucked by a criminal?”

I tried to forget he asked me that on the way to Stine’s front door. But now I can’t stop the heat I can feel, hoping it isn’t showing on my skin the way that it's heating me up from the inside. I shoot a glare toward Rick in the passenger seat.

Rick continues to push, ignoring my obvious annoyance. "I mean, you must have had some wild experiences with all the dangerous men you’ve been around,” he says with a smirk. “Maybe I could show you what a real criminal can do.”

Fuck. Me. I had never been attracted to a man before, at least not enough to make me investigate it further, but there was something about Rick that got under my skin as much as Ashley did.
