Lennon shoots Callen, but then Lennon is immediately shot by Jace. Lennon apologizes as he jogs off, leaving me to face off with Jace. I’d been paying attention to where he was all game, trying not to be the one to take him out, but now I have no choice. I want to win and, knowing he is all that stands between me and victory, I have to put my game face on.

Ducking further into the brush, I stumble over something and land hard on my a** with a grunt. When I look to my right, I find Jace sitting on the ground, watching me.

“I’ve been watching you for ten minutes. You really should watch your back, you know.” He smirks.

“Seriously. The whole time I was looking for you, and you were sitting here, waiting to shoot me?”

“Nah. I wasn’t going to shoot you. I was waiting for you to find me so you could shoot me. Took you long enough.”

Pushing myself off the ground, I point my gun directly between his legs and he winces. “You’re not playing fair.” My protest earns me another devious grin.

“I never said I would,” he replies, his eyes lighting up as he learns closer to me. “I also can’t seem to pull the trigger. I would hate to leave a mark on that perfect body of yours. You’re going to have to shoot me if you want this to end. But, if I get the choice, I’d prefer you not shoot me where you’re pointing. I’m partial to that part of my body.“

With a grunt, I lift my gun and point it directly at the center of his chest, pulling the trigger. He doesn’t even flinch. Instead, he reaches up, grabs my hand, and pulls me down on top of him. His lips meet mine with more force than I expect, and then I’m rolled on my back.

He deepens the kiss, his tongue running across my bottom lip, begging for entrance. I grant him what he wants and wrap my arms around his neck.

Time stands still as I get lost in his kiss. In everything Jace has to offer. No one is around. No one knows the game is over. It’s just the two of us, and I’m enjoying every second of it.

When he finally pulls away, his lips are swollen and there’s a huge smile on his face.

“I’ve been wanting to do that since I first saw you. It was worth the wait.”

I feel the heat creep into my cheeks as he pushes off me and starts laughing.

“Um, I don’t know how to tell you this, but I think we’re busted.”

Looking left and right, I don’t see anyone around. That’s when the pink on the front of my chest armor catches my eye. It must have rubbed off from where I shot him. F**k! I’m not sure how I’m going to explain this away.

Reaching down and extending his hand to me, still laughing, Jace helps me to my feet and hands me my gun.

“Come on, princess. Let’s get back to everyone else. Maybe they won’t notice.”

“Doubtful,” I mumble. I bet the first person who’s going to notice is my partner.
