Chapter 13
“If you check your phone one more time, I’m going to take it and throw it out that window over there,” Ash murmured.
Myles lifted his head and glanced at his friend. They were seated in the conference room waiting for Mac and Declan to enter. Leaving Roxxy’s hotel this morning had been one of the hardest things he had ever done.
Her mussed hair, swollen lips, and perfect skin had him wanting to stay, but they both had to get to work.
“I’m not doing anything but browsing the internet,” he replied.
“Sure you are. I know that look.” Ash chuckled. He leaned back in his chair with an all-knowing glint in his eyes.
Here we go.
“We all know that look,” Iker chimed in from behind him.
“Shut up.” Myles tried to ignore their heckling.
“Where’d you go when you left the bar last night?” Zain asked.
“None of your fucking business, that’s where.” He turned around and found all eyes on him.
The entire team had gone out to their favorite pub and had a few rounds of drinks. Whenever they had a hard call, they blew off steam. By the third rounds of drinks, he couldn’t get Roxxy out of his mind. He didn’t have her number to call or text her so he did the next best thing.
Showed up at her hotel room late at night.
He had been half expecting her to close the door in his face, but instead she had opened the it, standing in nothing but a silk robe holding a pink Glock.
Now that’s a woman.
There was no way in hell he was telling them anything about what went on between him and Roxxy. Before Roxxy, he’d share a story or two with women he’d been with.
But not this time.
Not Roxxy.
His lips were sealed.
“I think I know where he went,” Iker teased.
“Oh, I know my friend quite well. I’m sure I can guess, too.” Ash barked a laugh. “It had something to do with a little sexy auditor.”
Myles raised both hands in the air with his middle fingers extended.
“Myles not sharing details means only one thing,” Brodie announced.
“He’s pussy-whipped,” Iker and Zain shouted simultaneously.
“A pussy has tamed the all mighty Myles Burton.” Brodie cackled.
Myles snickered and shook his head. He couldn’t help it. His teammates were nutcases, and there was no one else he’d rather be on a team with. He turned around in his seat at the sound of the door opening.
“Glad you men are in better sprits,” Mac said, entering the room.
Declan followed close behind and stood next to him. This was a standard meeting SWAT had to discuss important business.
The room simmered down. By the looks of Mac and Declan, they were getting straight to business.
“There’s a few things on the agenda we need to go over.” Mac paused and placed his hands behind his back. His legendary scowl was on his face.
