civilian and special forces at that moment. they men didn’t just move, they executed their motions with complete control and precision. there was no doubt in her mind that they could and would use deadly force in the blink of an eye. the fact that they went from the relaxed stance of drinking coffee together to their current positions made it so much more amazing to her.
that same fist pounded on the door again as rourke caught her with his eyes. his head made a sharp jerk in her direction as he pointed her back the way she’d come. the order was silent but loren felt her ears ring with it. the absolute authority the man projected had her body responding even before she recognized what she was doing.
rourke sent her another sharp nod of approval before he took two long-legged strides and jerked his front door open. not the way she would have done it. rourke didn’t stand in front of the open doorway. instead he sent the door swinging inward while his body was against the wall.
“i want to see my wife!”
even knowing chris for the spoilt brat that he was, loren was still surprised to hear exactly how belligerent he’d decided to be with his commanding officer. she stepped toward the door and caught the harsh look rourke leveled at his man.
“you seem to have forgotten how the army works, soldier.” chris raised his chin and tried to out-bluster his superior. rourke didn’t suffer the insubordination for long. he grabbed the center of chris’ shirt and flung him back out the front door. loren ran into the kitchen but came up short as jared stepped into her path. the man literally used his body as a solid barricade to keep her from following the two men out onto the porch. loren bounced back and immediately tried to go 43

jared moved with his brother in almost perfect synchronization, following rourke as he kept her behind his body.
loren followed and found rourke’s brother purposely blocking her path again. the
man stepped in front of her as she tried to move around him. the look he cast over his shoulder was just as full of authority as his brother’s had been. loren felt her pride bristle but clamped her jaw shut. rourke had enough trouble to deal with at the moment.
“she’s my wife. sir!” chris spat the expected title of sir and stumbled back from rourke’s frame as he tried to shove his commanding officer but found rourke immovable.
loren had decided back on that beach that rourke looked untamed. right now she was certain the man was completely uncivilized. his body stood with tightly controlled aggression. the type you saw in a wild predator. chris’
eyes went large but he refused
to back down.
“there’s no married housing here.” rourke used a tightly controlled voice with his man. he could smell the liquor on the man. but that didn’t make rourke angry. far from it. chris was digging his own grave with his insubordination and rourke would be happy to watch him do it. there was no place for chris in his unit. this little alcohol-sponsored incident would just save rourke the trouble of kicking the man out.
“even a goddamn officer can’t just screw around with my wife! i want a divorce.” chris sneered in contempt before he raised an arm and pointed at loren. “and i want my kid too! you’re an adulteress and i’m going to get custody of my son.”
“i won’t live with you.” every head turned as toby popped up from inside one of the helicopters. the three black panthers were sitting at rest in the center of the driveway and rourke had driven chris toward the aircraft.
toby jumped down from one panther and stood facing his father.
“you’re a minor and my son. that bitch poisoned you against me. you’ll see, just as soon as we hang out together. you’ll see.” toby regarded his father in silence before he raised his
