He set down his gun, walked behind her.
Ohgod, this isn’t helping.
Spread your legs a little wider.
Please, stop talking.
He nudged her thigh with his knee. A thrill ran through her.
Oh, boy, now he’s touching me.
Resting his hands on her shoulders, he whispered, “Why so uptight? Relax your shoulders, babe.”
She sucked down a breath, then released it slowly. Didn’t help.
He anchored his large, muscular hands on her hips and adjusted them so they were perpendicular to the target. Her insides heated.
“Drop your center of gravity a little more.”
Warmth spread through her while his hands stayed glued to her. A few seconds passed while she got herself together before dropping down.
“Nice.”
His velvety voice made her tremble with excitement. She’d have to kick him out of the galley if she couldn’t focus.
He released his hands. “Ready your shot.”
She homed in on the center of the target, inhaled, and pressed the trigger.
BANG!
She hit the target this time, but not the bullseye.
“Again,” he said.
Though she followed his instructions, her insides were humming with desire. Her fingers trembled. Normally, she was a steady shot. Rarely missed. She imagined him stepping close, nuzzling her neck, wrapping his strong, sinewy arms around her and pulling her close while his hardness pressed against her ass.
Her thoughts had gone off the rails.
Get it together. Now.
Heaving in a breath, she found her center of gravity, bent her knees, and readied her shot. Then, she fired.
BANG!
The bullet pierced the center of the target.
“There’s my girl,” he said. “Welcome back.”
He took his position beside her and they fired in tandem. Round after round after round. They were in complete sync, their bullets overlapping each other’s every single time.
When they finished and had packed up their weapons, he asked, “You okay?”
“Yeah. Why?”
He stepped so close she could see the translucent turquoise specs in his blue eyes. “You missed the target. You were having trouble concentrating. What’s going on?”
She wanted to tell him that being around him was exhilarating, that his touch electrified her, that she couldn’t wait until she could escape into his arms. That getting lost in him was the only thing she craved.
