Ace – Kat Mizera

I don’t want anything to do with this particular assignment and Erik has my back because he’s keeping his plans on the down-low for now, hoping the CIA will think he’s put the entire idea on hold.” “And if they don’t buy it?” “Then I’ll most likely get fired and they’ll send someone else to handle it, which won’t be good for anyone.”

I grimace. “Would they hurt you?” “Not me, no.” “But your friends in Limaj?” He nods. “Let’s not talk about that, okay?” “Why not? This is something important going on in your life, something you’ve let go because of me and I feel bad.” “I haven’t let it go. I’m in touch with Erik or his head of security every day. With the holidays coming, I’m hoping everyone, especially back at Langley, thinks all of that stuff is on hold until January.

It buys me time to help you and gives Erik time to come up with a plan.” “So, you’re going back as soon as we’re done here?” “That depends.” “On what?” “Us.” I blink. “Us?” “Whether we find your stalker.” He trails his knuckles along my cheek. “Whether you’re still in danger.” He drags them down along my throat, letting them linger there lightly. “And whether or not we decide there’s more to us than just a few innocent kisses.”

It’s time to bite the bullet, no matter how far out of my comfort zone it is. “We both know there’s more to us than that.” “Yes, but is it enough?” “For what?” “To upend both of our lives? To make short-term plans that are going to have long-term ramifications.” “You think the possibility of us being together, as a couple, is going to have something you would label ‘long-term ramifications?’” I arch my brows at him.

“That sounds more like a business deal than a relationship.” “I just meant there are a lot of things to consider.

I hate these kinds of events, but when a state senator who used to be your commanding officer asks you to do something, you kind of have to. Aside from the suit, it’s not so bad. The food is good, drinks are free, and there’s almost always an attractive woman who might be a fun distraction for a few hours. As a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, I find women are plentiful.

I just don’t often have time for them. So, once in a while, it’s nice to get out and do something that isn’t military related. I work in military intelligence now, so I spend a lot of time alone in front of computers or skulking around the world trying to find bad guys.

I get off on the adrenaline rush, but sometimes it gets lonely. “Lieutenant Ross.” I hear my name and turn, smiling at Senator Wayne Barrow. “Hello, sir. Nice to see you.” I shake his hand. “I appreciate your coming out tonight.” “I’m not sure why you wanted me here, but I’m happy to oblige. My mother drilled it into me that a real man should own and wear a tuxedo on the regular, so you gave me my excuse for the year.”

He laughs, his eyes crinkling.
