tomorrow, you’re fired.” A glint of amusement softened the threat, but Waverly suspected Justice might well go through with it.
    She laughed. “I guess I don’t have much choice then.”
    “No choice at all,” Jake agreed. “Thanks, Justice. You’re a doll.”
    Justice waved a hand. “Don’t I know it.”
    He led her out to the parking lot and guided her over to a shiny, big, black bike. She stilled. “Is that yours?”
    He nodded and grabbed the spare helmet. “You’ll be perfectly safe, I promise.” His gaze locked onto hers, making her heart come to a standstill. “I would never let anything happen to you.”
    Somehow she knew that. This man protected their country for a living and he’d sure as hell protect her. “I’ve never been on a motorcycle before.”
    “I’ll take it easy to begin with. Just hold onto me and try to go with the movement of the bike.”
    She nodded and he went to help her with the helmet. “Wait.” She put a hand to his wrist. “I should explain…”
    He shook his head. “Explain later. I shouldn’t have pushed you, but I’d still like to know the truth.”
    “You’ll have it,” she vowed.
    Jake gave a quick grin that had her pulse racing. He helped her get on the helmet and clipped it under her chin. Once he was on, she climbed onto the back and wrapped her arms around his torso. Beneath the leather jacket she could feel stone hard abs. An immediate pulse of need ran through her.
    The thrum of the engine made her pulse quicken. Jake did as he promised and took it easy until they were out on the open roads. Waverly began to get used to moving with the bike as he navigated it around corners and exhilaration began to replace any nervousness. With Jake, she felt totally safe and protected.
    They came to a stop at the end of a country lane. Tucked amongst the trees was a small cabin. To one side, a jetty jutted out into a beautiful pond.
    He pulled the bike up outside the front and helped her off. She undid the helmet and took it off, shaking out her hair.
    “Where are we?”
    “It’s a place a friend owns. We often come out here for a bit of downtime.”
    “We?”
    “Me and the guys.”
    “You’ve been friends a long time, haven’t you?”
    “As long as I can remember. Some of us did basic training together.”
    He took the helmet from her and ushered her inside the cabin. Though traditional on the outside, the interior had a modern feel to it, with a walnut and marble kitchen, blinds on each window and cream furnishings.
    “This is beautiful.”
    “It’s a good place to relax.”
    She turned to eye him. “Is that what we’ll be doing?”
    He grinned. “Well, I won’t keep you awake all night.” His grin turned wicked. “But I thought you could do with a night away.”
    Waverly shook her head in awe. “I can’t believe you did this for me.”
    “Why?”
    “No one has ever been so considerate.”
    He took two paces over and had her in his arms. “Then they were fucking idiots. You’re worth the effort, baby.”
    She almost got lost staring up into those dark eyes. Her heart gave another thud, reminding her what was at stake here. It would be so, so easy to get attached to him. But she was carrying another man’s baby, remember? Who would want anything more than a little fun with a pregnant woman?
    However, that didn’t mean she couldn’t enjoy herself just a little longer, right?
    She scowled. “I don’t have any overnight stuff.”
    “Let’s just say Justice helped me get together a few bits.” He went back out to the bike for a moment and returned with a small bag of toiletries and a change of clothes.
    Waverly took them and shook her head. “You really did put some thought into this.”
    “I’m a soldier. Always be prepared is practically my motto.”
    “You didn’t need to go to so much effort. After all, I was the one who was in the wrong.”
    Walker took the bag from her and led her into a bedroom. The massive bed was covered with
