couldn’t work together.
We walked through the hallways in silence as we went to find Katya. By now, someone would have taken watch over her. If I had to venture a guess it would be Demon. I could see the attraction he had for her, similar to Renegade when he used to look at me. I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts, but Renegade had a knack for reading me and refused to let the chance pass by.
“I knew this was going to be a good mission for me.” He smiled coyly. He looked at me, waiting for a response, but when I didn’t offer one he continued. “I get to be with you the entire time,” he said as he leaned a little closer.
A smile curved onto my lips at his words. It was moments like this that the distance seemed a little shortened, that he was letting me back in, and we could pick up where we left off. I felt at ease and the pain washed away as he brushed against me. For a moment I could focus on us and not a near death experience. At least it was before I let the anger return, remembered how he left me, how he ignored me for weeks after, and then pushed him away. “Remember, I just have to tell Sharp Shooter that I can’t work with you without putting the mission in danger, and you get sent to the Pacific with Raider and the others to try to stop a war while attempting to end weapon trades.” I let the information sink in before playfully adding, “And you’ll miss your warm bed and thinking about us cuddling together.”
He whipped his head around to look at me. For a moment I could see the playful gleam return to his eyes. In that moment, I thought I had won him back, the old Renegade before we created this rift between us, but the moment quickly vanished as we turned the corner to see Camo showing Katya her costume. All I could think was how I hoped it was for a mission, and she wasn’t walking around the agency in her underwear for fun.
“Night Stripe!” she yelled when she noticed me staring at her. “Look! Isn’t it amazing?” she questioned as she spun to give me a full look of her outfit. She tip-toed in her four inch heels as she twirled to show off her black lingerie, matched with a pair of black wings that extended around her lean frame.
“Is it me or did you not have wings yesterday?” Renegade questioned, the joking tone in his voice going over my head.
“You saw the wings, but the lack of clothing didn’t catch your attention?” I asked, gesturing to Camo’s black diamond bra and lace panties. She looked as if she was about to walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Renegade shrugged his shoulders, but bit his tongue, clearly deciding it was best not to answer. Smart kid. “Where are your clothes?”
“I don’t need them,” she said with a smile. “I’m taking over for one of the models at the fashion show in New York while she’s under protection here, and this is her outfit! It’s a dream come true! I’ve always wanted to be a model! It’s been my dream since I was a little girl!” She smiled brightly as she expertly twirled once again to show off the full length of the black wings, which went from a few inches over her head to the back of her knees. They had to be about four and a half feet tall, and weigh almost as much as she did.
“I have no idea how you’re going to walk with those things on your back in those heels, but if anyone can do it, I’m sure you can,” I said with an encouraging smile as I gestured for Katya to get up and come with me. I waited for Katya, who looked as though she was very uncomfortable around Camo, before sending her off with Renegade. I knew Camo wouldn’t let the topic drop, judging from her excitement, so I waited to give her a final chance to comment.
“I will, and I get to walk with my favorite model. You’d love her accent; it’s Brazilian,” Camo said with a suggestive eyebrow lift. “I don’t know what a model can do to get sought after by Ukrainians, but at this moment I don’t care. I get to walk
