Really? I quirked my brow and looked at him. He'd sure seemed intent on some time as just the two of us.

"We're here!" he said, motioning to a large clearing. It was at the edge of the Ridge, just before dropping into the forest that led to the Fort.

We pulled to a stop, and both men hopped out. Lynk reached out to help me.

I narrowed my eyes, but pressed my palm into his. It was strong and wide enough to swallow mine. He tugged on me and I stepped down … straight into his arms. Firm heat surrounded me everywhere as we toppled to the ground.

I'd fucking tripped on the step! Oh gods. Today could not get any worse.

When I opened my eyes, though, Lynk's chiseled face was directly in front of mine … silver eyes wide with surprise and something darker, his lips just inches from my own.

My body, already hot, ached with something heavy and tense. I swallowed hard.

I'd spoken too soon.

Today was definitely getting worse.
