adjusted her feet accordingly. Now that she knew what firing the weapon felt like, she was sure she would be more prepared this time. ”Okay, I got it.”
    “Oh, I know you do,” he said with a quick kiss to her cheek. “Now lean into it a bit.”
    She aimed the weapon and once again fired, her body only jerking a bit. She fired again, this time hitting the target. With every successive shot, she became a bit more confident, and a bit more exhilarated. Slightly disappointed when the gun clicked empty, she engaged the safety and ejected the magazine as if she’d done it a thousand times before.
    “Wow. I’m impressed. You’re a natural.”
    She pressed the button the same way he had, and the hum of the machine brought the target to them. ”Look! I hit it!” She was so excited she could hardly contain herself as she pointed to the three small holes on the edge.
    “Very good. You’ll get better the more you practise.”
    “Can I do it again?”
    He laughed and slid the box of bullets to her. “Have at it.”
    She spent the next hour shooting at various targets. With each new load, Nick moved the target farther and farther back. He seemed just as surprised as she was at her natural ability. Her aim was very good for a beginner, and even at full distance, she was able to hit the target, if not the bullseye itself.
    “Not bad, baby, not bad.” He took the most recent target off the rack. “You’re getting better.”
    “Your turn. I want to see you shoot.”
    “Me? Nah… We’re here for you.”
    “You’re not going to shoot? Oh, come on.”
    “You wanna go one more time?”
    “No, I want to watch you. What? Can’t you shoot? Are you afraid of embarrassing yourself?”
    “Give me that.” He grabbed the gun with a small chuckle. She’d yet to meet the man who could resist proving himself when his manhood was challenged. Nick was no different.
    Kelsey slid the target as far back as it would go as he loaded his gun. “Stand back.” He raised the weapon, aimed only briefly and began firing in a quick, but steady rhythm.
    She watched as he emptied the gun and pressed the button to retrieve the target. She didn’t need to see it to know he’d hit his mark. His whole demeanour had changed. The power, the authority, the presence she saw the moment he’d raised that weapon was intoxicating. All she could do was stare in admiration.
    He set the safety and released the magazine before pulling the target from the rack. “There ya go. Now what do you think?” He turned to her, showing her the shots all clustered towards the centre of the paper.
    “I think you’re the hottest man I’ve ever seen,” she huffed, before quickly claiming his mouth in a heated kiss. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him closer as she slipped her tongue into his mouth, moaning when he offered his in return.
    A moment later Nick pulled back, breathing heavily. “We can’t do this here, baby. We’re not alone.”
    Kelsey buried her face against his neck and tried to contain her sudden rush of desire. She’d never had this problem before. She’d never had such a surge of lust for a man that she was unable to resist acting on it.
    They clung to each other, breathing deeply, and trying to garner control. “Let’s get out of here. I want you alone. Now.”
    She nodded and took quick steps towards the locker room. As he carefully secured his gun and remaining ammunition, she whispered, “I just have to use the restroom before we go.”
    Nick leaned against the wall and watched her saunter to the ladies’ room, thinking how he’d really hit the jackpot with this one. He wondered how he was going to leave her, but soon he’d have to be on his way. He had a job to do and he certainly couldn’t do it in her bed, although that was the only place he wanted to be.
    “Excuse me,” a man said as he passed.
    Nick did a double-take and realised who the man was. ”What the hell are you doing here?” he whispered, glancing
