Excerpt
“Caleb.”
I just stare at him for a long moment. Thirty seconds ago his hands were on me
and he was whispering the sweetest things in my ear.
Now he’s turned back into the drill sergeant.
And men say women are confusing.
Finally, he turns and pulls the target down.
“I’ll be damned,” he whispers.
“Let me see.”
There are a few stray bullet holes around the white part of
the target, but in the center of the chest and the top of the head are two
good-sized holes where my bullets pierced the paper.
“You’re a natural.” I shrug like it’s no big thing, but
inside I’m doing the mega happy-dance. “Not so much a pussy, I guess.”
Caleb laughs, long and loud
and scoops me up into a long hug.
“Definitely not a pussy,” he agrees as he pulls away from
me.
“Caleb?”
My heart is beating hard, and I’m still pissed at him. He’s smiling down at my
target, but when his eyes meet mine, he sobers.
“Yeah.”
“Don’t
fucking touch me like that again unless you plan to finish what you start.”
His
eyes go hard and his jaw tightens. Before I can turn and walk away, he grabs my
wrist and pulls me against him, pinning my arms between our bodies.
“Let’s
get this straight, Brynna. I want you so fucking bad my teeth ache. I’ve wanted
you for months. But you’re part of my family, and I’m supposed to be protecting
you. Dropping my guard and fucking you into the mattress is not the way to keep
any of you whole.”
I
gasp as his words sink in and I want to beg him to take me home do exactly
that; fuck me into the mattress, but before I can speak, he lowers his forehead
to mine and clenches his eyes closed as if in pain.
“I’m
not going to fuck up our friendship, or make things weird for you with my
family, just because I can’t keep my damn hands off you. You mean too much for
that.”
I
lean into him, wanting to comfort him, but he sighs, lifts his head and plants
his lips on my forehead for a long few seconds and then backs away, turns his
back on me, and loads the weapon and clips back into his locking gun box.
“I
apologize. I won’t touch you again.” Before I can argue, ask him to talk with
me about this, he stalks off ahead of me. “Let’s go.”

It's hard to know since I haven't read the story. But Caleb sounds cool :)
