Enjoy the following excerpt for Hero Worship:
“Look,
princess, I don’t have a knight-in-shining-armor side. You need to get around
to my real side.”
Caroline’s
teeth clicked together at princess; her tongue barely escaped the sharp
edges before she forced another breath through her nose.
“And
what side would that be? Your, I-want-my-own-island-and-the-rest-of-
the-world-can-rot, side? Or how about your, I-need-a-new-woman-every-couple- weeks,
side? Which one of those should I appeal to?”
Her
voice sounded strange to her ears, thick with frustration and on the brink of
screeching. I never raise my voice. Pursing her lips against the
tremble, she gripped the edge of her seat, doing her best to ignore his wide
smirk. She needed this conversation under her control.
He
leaned back and tilted his head to look beneath the table, eyeing her legs. She
stiffened but didn’t move further at his perusal of her from head to chest and
back. A negotiator couldn’t be easily offended.
“Definitely
my I-need-a-new-woman-every-couple-weeks, side. You could be that woman.”
“What?”
Incredulity tightened her throat and her words sputtered out in a breathy puff.
“Are you insane?”
“Depends
on who you ask.” He winked; a suggestive tilt broadened his smile.
No
way in h**l. She
squashed the butterflies that flapped in her belly, determined to ignore the
temptation of his sun-kissed shoulders and golden abs, each muscle defined like
a sculpted masterpiece. A perfect Hero. Physically. Too bad, of all the Heroes,
only he remained.
Caroline
cleared her throat. “I’m here to negotiate your chance at freedom, not feed
your lascivious appetites.”
“Okay.
Tell the AG the offer is rejected.”
“Millions
of lives are at risk. We can’t combat a cyborg army under the control of a
terrorist on our own.”
“Not
my problem.”
“You used to be a hero. Now you’re heartless and
cruel—pathetic.”
Caroline searched his face for a reaction, anything to tell
her she’d gotten to him. He gave nothing but a shrug under a steady gaze. Her
insults seemed to roll right off him.
“Your
brethren would be ashamed.”
A
flash of violence passed through his eyes as he thrust forward, shoulders
raised, in a shift from nonchalant to coiled aggression, ready to strike at the
next provocation. Here was the vengeance that cost a dozen citizens their lives
and damages in the billions to government assets. She struggled not to react,
but anger surged inside her, smothering her self-protective instincts.
