He blinked and found he was still holding on to her hand.
“Can I have my hand back?” she asked softly with her eyebrow raised.
“Sure. I’m sorry. I don’t know…” Myles released Roxxy immediately. “Sorry. Apparently, I haven’t had enough coffee today.”
“Not a problem.” She laughed.
Myles swallowed hard and felt Mac’s curious gaze on him. He refused to turn and look at his sergeant. Myles knew without anyone telling him that this was out of character for him. He was always confident when it came to his work and women.
What the hell was his problem?
Two seconds in her presence, and he could barely remember his name.
“I take it you’ll be assessing us. How can I help you?” Myles asked.
The entire team agreed they would go through the motions and pray this went by fast so they could get back to normal.
“Well, just act like I’m not here. I’m observing your screenings and protocols. We are not here to get in the way. We are truly here to help your team.” Roxxy held her small clipboard close to her chest.
“Yes, we know and are open to suggestions,” Mac replied. “Your company has excellent remarks and recommendations from other law enforcement agencies.”
“Yes, it’s something we take pride in. My father, who started the company, is an Army vet who joined the police force when he returned home,” Roxxy spoke.
Myles filed that small bit of information in the back of his mind. Nothing like a good Army man with a smoking-hot daughter. Her darker complexion revealed that if her father was Caucasian then her mother must be black. Not that it mattered to Myles. He loved women no matter what their color, shape, or size. Hell, Roxxy could be purple, and he’d still be interested.
“He, too, was a SWAT officer and had the idea of a company that could help police departments and any law agencies.” Roxxy broke into Myles’s thoughts. “Even when he started the company, there was a lot of heat on law enforcement and their protocols. Some were unethical, and that is where our company steps in.”
“Well, we are excited to have you.” Mac nodded.
Myles met the gaze of his sergeant.
“I suggest you stick close to Myles. He’s in charge today. The team and I will be observing and taking notes on the applicants.”
Mac slapped Myles on the back and brushed past him. One look in Mac’s eyes, and Myles knew Mac would want an explanation of his blunder.
“I hope you don’t mind if I’m glued to your hip.” Roxxy chuckled.
Her husky laugh went straight to his dick. Myles had to fight to adjust himself and pushed the carnal thoughts that were plaguing him out of his mind.
“It won’t be a problem at all, ma’am.” His gaze dropped down and slowly made its way along her curvy body until he reached her combat boots. They were small and dark and would be deemed cute. His eyes flickered back to hers.
He didn’t care that she’d caught him.
He was never one to bite his tongue when he saw a woman he was interested in.
Hell, he was more than interested.
He wanted to pick her up and toss her over his shoulder and leave.
Fuck the tryouts.
Her eyes darkened, and it was as if she had the same thoughts. Myles hadn’t missed when she’d taken advantage of Mac speaking and quickly checked him out.
“Shall we?” She cocked her perfectly sculpted eyebrow up high.
“Yes.” He coughed. He had forgotten about the new recruits waiting for him. “Please follow me.” He turned on his heel and scrubbed at his face. “I’m sure you’ve read up on how applicants apply?”
“Yes, I familiarized myself with all of the current members of your team, the policies and protocols of applying for SWAT here.”
