of the block.
    Traitor. The word resonated in Tuck's
conscience. His guilty conscience. If he hadn't sat like a damned fool
while Reaper talked about Delaney, the man might not have proposed, and Delaney
wouldn't have kissed him.
    The
night was not supposed to end this way. By now, he and Delaney should have been
burning up the sheets. Instead, Delaney would be packing to ship out, with an
outstanding proposal on her mind from another man.
    Damn.
Delaney is shipping out.
    He'd
gotten used to having her around. More nights than not, they were together.
Either at his apartment or hers. With her leaving in the morning, she'd be up
packing into the early hours. He had to see her one more time. Apologize for
not stopping Reaper and for letting him propose in front of their entire team.
There was no good way to back out of what had happened. Reaper would lose face
and take a boatload of razzing from the team. Tuck would look like a heel to
his friends and the camaraderie would suffer if any of them found out he'd been
sleeping with Delaney when his best buddy wanted to marry her.
    First
things first. He had to see Delaney before she shoved off.
    He
drove like a madman to beat her back to her place, parked in an alley, and
jogged up to her building before she pulled into the parking lot.
    Hooking
her purse over her arm, she climbed out of her Jeep and turned to the staircase
leading up to her apartment.
    Tuck
stepped out of the shadows.
    Delaney
jumped and stifled a scream that turned into a string of curses. "Goddamn
SEALs. You're like snakes, lurking in the grass waiting to pounce." She stepped
around him.
    Tuck
grabbed her arm and pulled her against him. "Snakes don't pounce."
    "Okay,
slither." She slapped his chest. "How could you let Cory go that far?"
    "He
didn't give me a chance to talk him out of the proposal."
    "What
am I supposed to do now?" She pulled free and stalked up the stairs,
stopped, and glared back at him. "He asked me to marry him in front of
your entire team."
    "It
wasn't all of them." Tuck followed at a safe pace. In her mood, she might
push him down the flight of steps. And damned if he didn't deserve it. "You
could have said no."
    "What
I hate is that I love Reaper," she said before turning toward her door.
    "You
what?" He took the steps between them two at a time and caught up with her
as she shoved her key into the lock. "You love Reaper?" She'd never
told him she loved him, much less Reaper .
    "Of
course I do." She rolled her eyes. "Like a brother."
    "And
me?" Tuck thumped his chest, anger burning a hole in it.
    The
starch melted out of her stance and she sighed. "You know how I feel about
you."
    No,
he didn't. He smoothed a hair behind her ear, his hand drifting down the side
of her neck, over her collarbone to trail across one breast. "Like a
brother?"
    "I'm
not into incest." She sighed, caught his wrist, and held him there, her
eyes closing as she pressed her breast into his palm. "Does that answer
your question?" Her voice had gone all husky and sexy like when they were
making love. Then her eyes opened and she stared, challenging him, sparks
flying between them.
    Tuck
took her key from her, twisted it in the lock, shoved her through the door, and
slammed it behind them with his foot. Then he tossed her over his shoulder and
marched toward her bedroom.
    "Put
me down, Tuck. I'm not a sack of potatoes." She pounded his back with the
flat of her palm.
    He
patted her fanny. "I know you're not a sack of potatoes. But this was the
quickest way I knew to get you into bed." Once inside her bedroom, he
tipped her over and tossed her onto the mattress.
    She
lay in the middle, skirt hiked up to her hips. "You could have tried
asking."
    Shit. Even her frown was sexy.
    "What
time did you say you’re bugging out?" He yanked his shirt over his head
and threw it against the wall.
    Delaney
licked her lips, her gaze raking over his naked chest. "Five thirty. I
have to be at my unit, packed and ready to go."
    His
cock
