Chapter 15
Iknow what would make you feel better,” Kole announced to Mila as he came out of the bathroom to their suite.
She turned to him from the lounge chair on the balcony. Unable to keep his hands off of her, he leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. He knew how stressed she was over their situation. As much as he wanted her to relax and enjoy the tropical island, she would not. She was wound tighter than a two-dollar watch.
“And what might that be?” She swung her legs over the side of the chair, and he held his hand out to her and helped her up.
“Shooting something,” he announced. A smile broke out on her face and he knew he hit the nail on the head.
“Who do we get to kill?” she asked, her face instantly lighting up. Excitement buzzed from her as she waited for his answer.
A laugh escaped him at her devious nature. God, that’s why he loved her.
He paused as the realization set in.
He loved her?
Where did that come from? He glanced back at her and her face fell as he chuckled. Yeah, he guessed he did love her. He leaned in again and nibbled on her lower lip.
“A gun range. We can go to the local gun range and help you blow off some steam,” he chuckled against her lips.
“Well, I guess that’s just as good.” She smiled sheepishly as she pulled back.
“Can’t have you running off and murdering people on a small island. That’s how you would draw unwanted attention to yourself.”
“I guess your right,” she murmured as he pulled her behind him through their luxury suite. He knew that it had been a few days since she discharged her weapon, and if he knew her, her little hands would be itching to pull the trigger of a gun.
“I’ve arranged for a taxi to take us,” he announced, intertwining their fingers together.
“Anyone coming with us?”
“Yes,” Kole said, opening the door to their suite. Denis and Jethro stood waiting for them in the hallway. They were both dressed in vacation clothing, trying to blend in with the people on the island. But Kole knew that they were packing heat in order to protect Mila.
“Hello, boys,” Mila said in greeting. This should be fun. A little friendly competition between the four of them should be a good way to blow off steam.
“Kelli.” Denis nodded to her. Even on the island, they had to keep up the charade. A couple exited the suite next to theirs, all smiles, and nodded as they walked past them. “The taxi is waiting for us.”
“Excellent,” Kole murmured as they followed behind Denis and Jethro. They reached the main entrance of the resort and found a white minivan waiting for them.
The driver excited the vehicle and opened the door for them. They piled into the van, with Mila grabbing a window seat. She smiled at Kole as he settled in next to her. His arm found its way around her, drawing her close to him. After assuring everyone was comfortable, the driver hopped back in his seat, pulling the van out onto the road.
“It’s beautiful,” she murmured, staring out into the beautiful tropical scenery.
“Sure is.” Kole’s lips grazed the shell of her ear as he leaned toward her. He had been to Bermuda plenty of times, and yes, it was beautiful, but it didn’t hold a candle to Mila.
“I meant the scenery,” she chuckled as she swatted him with her hand.
“You’re going to love this place.” He’d been to this particular gun range a few times before.
The owner was on his payroll, and Kole trusted that they would be able to enjoy themselves in peace. Mila would have to get used to his men protecting her. He could see the doubt in her eyes before, but his men would protect her for the simple fact that she was his woman. It didn’t matter anymore that she was of a rival organization. Mila, the woman, was his, and she would be protected.
“The range offers outdoor and indoor shooting,” Denis announced. They have practically any gun that you can think of available to shoot.”
“Really?” Mila turned to Denis.
“Hell yeah. You have to try out the MP5K. I think you’d like it,” Dennis offered.
Kole knew that Denis could talk guns for days, and by the glint in Mila’s eyes, she could too.
