Chapter 4

“I wanna make sure you’ve got my back, McCann. I heard you’re not too good at that shit. You know, protecting your partner. Not that I think this assignment is gonna be dangerous. What’re they gonna do, beat us to death with dildoes?”

“Not everything you hear is true.”

“No? Then why’s everybody steer clear of you like you’re some kind of rattlesnake.”

“Long story and you don’t wanna hear it.” Truth be told, Doyle didn’t want to tell it. If the actual story got out, it could mean his former partner would be in serious trouble. He knew Kord was smart enough to figure out the truth from the story Doyle had made up to protect his former partner. So, he didn’t even want to tell that version to the hunk in the driver’s seat.

“We’ve got three weeks side by side. Plenty of time for a long story.” Kord’s voice was low and almost kind. But Doyle wasn’t taking any chances.
