over there?” Josh asked, concern tinging his voice as he glanced over at her.
“I’m fine,” she said immediately, then tried to switch the subject. “How did you manage to organize that? I didn’t see you talking to anyone.” She was referring to the boxing-in maneuver with the rest of his team.
“I had them on standby at the start of the day, just in case,” he admitted. “Each of our trucks has trackers in it, so it was more a case of them figuring out what was going on. We work together a lot, so they knew what I needed.”
Hannah nodded, looking out her window as they came alongside one of the trucks. She sat upright and pressed her face against it.
“There’s a woman driving that truck!” she exclaimed, recognizing the deep blue paint job as the same one that had cut off the car earlier.
Josh chuckled. “Yeah, that’s Shay. She’s mated to Justin, and in a prior life, she was a race car driver. I’m decent behind the wheel, but my God can that girl drive!” he exclaimed.
She was stunned. “You have women that work with you?”
The big shifter raised an eyebrow at her. “My immediate boss, the head of our group here, is a woman,” he told her. “She’s the biggest badass I know.”
Hannah’s jaw dropped open at that revelation.
“Besides myself of course,” he added slyly.
She coughed, trying to cover up her laugh, but it was useless. She giggled happily, allowing herself just that one moment. That was it. Then she would clamp back down on her emotions.
Hannah glanced over at Josh, meeting his eyes without realizing what she was doing. They were still at the stoplight, so he wasn’t focused on the road. Instead his silver-blue eyes were latched on to her, boring deep past her momentarily lowered barriers, a penetrating look that she felt in her soul.
The urge to reach out and touch him was overwhelming. She could see his hand twitch, and knew he was feeling the same. The longer they spent together, the stronger her attraction to him was becoming. He wasn’t just some hulking gargoyle of a bodyguard. He was smart, quick-witted, and impossibly gorgeous. It wasn’t fair. Why did he have to be a shifter?
Relief flooded through her as the light turned green and Josh was forced to look away—eventually—and focus on the road.
She had no idea where they were going, but wherever it was, it was too far away. Hannah needed to put some space between them immediately, or she was going to find herself giving in to her desires.
And that would be disastrous.

Twenty minutes later, Josh pulled the truck through a swift-opening door and into the side of a nondescript warehouse in the middle of an industrial part of the city. Other buildings rose up around them looking much the same to her eye.
She whistled softly as she stepped down from the truck. Several more trucks were parked in what was obviously an equipment garage. Off to one side two sleek, powerful, and speedy-looking motorcycles sat gleaming in the off-white light streaming through the windows.
That wasn’t what caught her attention though. At the back of the garage was what had to be an extremely expensive and fast sports car of foreign design. Hannah had never seen anything like it before, but it was painted with a metallic red design that didn’t ask for attention. It demanded it.
“Whose is that beautiful machine?” she asked, admiring the dual exhaust and low, sweeping bodywork.
Josh laughed. “That again, would be Shay’s. I have no idea where she got it from, but when we need to go somewhere fast, let me tell you, nothing comes close. The g-forces when she punches the accelerator are rough.”
Hannah smiled. “I’ll have to ask her to take me for a ride,” she joked, looking around at the storage lockers and racks filled with various types of tools and other equipment.
“You weren’t kidding about fighting a war, were you?” she asked softly. “There’s enough stuff here for an entire army.”
