THIRTY

Zarek

My phone buzzed in my pocket as I stood with Sebastian, Zane, and my squad. Logan, I recalled was with Leora for her training session. I wondered how her written test went. She had practiced more than enough times with the mock tests. I was sure she excelled.

I took my phone out of my pocket and saw Logan was calling.

"Gunner, what's up?"

"Zarek, you need to come to the gun range floor. Delara and Leo are in a cat fight over you. Bring the team."

What the fuck?

I informed everybody that we need to head to the gun range floor without giving too many details and we all walked towards the elevators to head upstairs. We had all been in the command centre conference room, going over Zane's findings since this morning.

Why was Leora in a fucking cat fight with Booth? It didn't make sense. When we reached the floor, Logan poked his head out from a room and waved us in.

When I entered and looked at the screen, I had the sudden urge to strangle Logan with my bare arms. But I quickly restrained myself when I saw how meticulous and nimble Leora was on the screen. There was a red label on top of Leora's head on the screen, and a green one on top of Booth.

Logan was watching them scour the maze room to find and neutralize the other and I was in awe of Leora's graceful walk. She looked like a panther on a hunt.

"Do that again and we'll be one person short on the mission," I smacked Logan's head.

The team laughed from behind me and continued to watch Booth and Leora's deadly dance. They were far from each other, but that was going to change once Booth crossed the second wall ahead of her.

Then I saw Leora jerk to a stop and scoot down. Was she panicking?

Then she did something I wasn't expecting. She traced back her steps, circled around a bunch of walls, and came up behind Booth, about two walls away. I knew she didn't have a visual of Booth, but she was pretty close to a sneak attack. Booth's direction remained the same, her back to Leora, and I smirked.

I glanced at Sebastian to gauge his reaction, but his expression remained unreadable. Then his jaw started working up and down at a steady rhythm.

I turned my attention back to the collage of screens in front of us .

"Is she really about to sneak up on an MI6 agent?" Kabir mumbled.

"Shh!" Logan snapped.

"Fuck off, it's just a video feed," Kabir countered.

"I'm concentrating," Logan whisper-shouted.

"You're special forces and you can't concentrate with a little sound?" Kabir whispered, mocking him.

"Shut up!" Logan grumbled.

"Boys…" I drawled, trying to conclude their childish brawl.

Booth walked a little to her left and it almost looked like she was stomping her feet and then stealthily turned right. Fuck . She had been trapping Leora. She wanted her to be behind her.

I saw Leora head towards where Booth had turned left but then she stopped. She backed up slowly and swiveled. Booth turned around and strode one wall up, towards Leora. Another screen from a different angle, showed Booth expecting Leora to have headed left. But my smartass Leora, had anticipated the trap and had turned right, almost coming face-to-face with Booth.

Booth finally walked further, being only one wall away. They were both behind two walls that were parallel but slightly displaced. Then they both peered the corner at the same time, guns drawn. They spotted each other and fired. Neither making contact. Leora scooted down and peered again.

Booth got out, circled around to come at Leora's back.

Turn around, Leora.

Turn around.

She didn't move.

Turn around, dammit .

"Relax, Ghost," Dylan muttered.

Wait, did I say it out loud?

Leora finally turned around right as Booth came up behind her and they both fired and missed. Neither of their vests lit up with any hits. Leora circled around the wall and now they were both on either side of a single wall. I didn't know if it was fluke, or a calculated decision, but Leora walked to the edge of the wall that she circled around from, poked her head out and saw Booth's back.

Just as Leora was about to point and shoot, Booth turned and charged at her. They both fell, their guns slipped away, and they wrestled on the floor with Booth on top.

"Now, that's a cat fight," Logan whistled.

"Sebastian," I said in a monotone, "Can Ronan join Operation Icarus? Because I'm going to kill Logan tonight."

Logan snickered and then shushed me.

Fucker.

Booth landed a punch to Leora's jaw and I winced. In a practiced jiu jitsu move, Leora trapped Booth's legs, grabbed her neck and launched herself until she was on top.

They both paused for a beat and Leora nodded. They both got up, stepped away from each other like they were on time out, and removed their vests and helmets.

Leora rolled her neck and Booth cracked her knuckles as they approached each other. Without any fight, they carefully lied down in the same position as they were before, and continued their fight.

At one point they were side to side on the floor, Leora propped her legs up, and push-kicked Booth. Booth slid almost a meter and rolled. I knew those legs were strong, but woah .

Leora and Booth got enough time to stand up on their feet and start throwing punches instead. They both launched uppercuts, hooks, body kicks, and face kicks, and both of them skillfully ducked and blocked.

"C'mon, Leo. You got this. You've sparred with me . Delara is nothing!" Logan growled.

Zane cleared his throat and I swore I saw a smile on Sebastian's face.

Leora ducked and launched a hard uppercut to Booth's jaw and her head snapped back. I could see Booth got angry, because she launched a series of quick combination punches that Leora almost blocked. Almost.

She got hit thrice, once on her ribs, once on her cheekbone, and a straight landed on her throat.

Fuck.

Booth was good.

Leora stumbled back and hit the wall behind her. She paused for a beat, shook her head, and regained her footing.

Then she squared her shoulders, dipped her chin down and tilted her face on one side, like a fucking psychopath.

Ooh, my woman is pissed.

She leisurely strolled towards Booth and I could see Booth was a bit confused. She fidgeted, unable to anticipate what Leora's next move would be. In the blink of an eye, Leora hurled herself at her, and they both tumbled to the floor, starting to grapple.

Leora maneuvered to position herself behind Booth, but Booth wrapped her arm around Leora's neck and squeezed. Leora slid down, slipped out of her looped arm and finished on top of Booth.

There was more grappling, position switches and I lost track of which one was Leora. Their labels on the screen were overlapping each other and both had similar builds.

Finally, one of them had the other in another choke hold. The one getting choked tried getting out, struggling to breathe.

"Wait, who's the one choking?" I asked.

Logan chuckled, "Your woman."

Booth finally tapped Leora's arm and they released each other. They both got up, and shook hands.

Leora won.

I couldn't grasp the fact that my Leora had just won against a former MI6 agent. She did take a few painful hits, but came out on top. I was so damn proud of her.

I sprinted out of the room and found her stepping out of the maze room. She removed her goggles and balaclava and I got to look at her beautiful face, now red with combat and adrenaline. Her hair was in a braid and she smiled through her heavy breath. Booth followed next and patted her on her shoulder.

"You deserve it, Doc," Booth said before taking off.

Leora spotted me and her smile widened into a full grin as I smiled back at her. She ran to me and jumped into my arms, wrapped her legs around my waist.

"Fuck, baby, you won!" I kissed her hard.

"I noticed she had," she said between kisses, "a weak grapple. She can't handle herself on the floor."

" God , you're so fucking amazing."

"Did that turn you on?" She said breathlessly .

Fuck, this woman is a temptress.

"What if I say yes?"

"Then I'll tell you that I need a shower, and I need some help in there."

She smiled at me and her eyes lit up. Her gaze dropped to my lips and I lost it as I always did with her. I pinned her against the wall and caught her lower lip between my teeth.

"Don't make me think of you naked when we're so far away from our room," I whispered.

"Then take me here, in one of the rooms."

"Fuck, Sebastian has cameras everywhere, baby," I pressed my hard length against her.

"Then let's hurry and get to our room," she kissed me deeply but quickly and jumped back on the ground.

We ran back to our room, and before we could lock the damn door, Leora knelt down and started opening my belt buckle.

"Fuck, Mi Corazón," I grumbled.

"I want you, Zarek," she panted as she freed my cock, "I want to taste you."

I couldn't help but smile at the sight in front of me. My Leora, in gear, kneeling in front of me, and ready for my cock. Fuck .

"I want you to fuck my face, Zarek."

And those were the words that undid me. My face hardened and I tipped her chin up with my hand.

"Bed. Now," I saw a lazy smile on her face. She sat on the bed, slid back and turned around.

"Lie back down and let your head tip back on the edge," I commanded.

She did so and smiled. I lined my cock with her lips and she opened up for me .

"Tap my thigh if it's too much, baby."

She nodded, hunger in her eyes and I edged in the head of my cock in her sweet mouth. I felt her tongue swirling the tip and I almost came from the sensation.

Fuck, this woman makes me lose control.

I pushed my cock further into her mouth and her lips dragged along the length in the most delicious way. I pushed further until my balls almost hit her nose and I saw the bulge in her throat.

"Fuck, baby, you look so beautiful taking my cock."

A gurgling sound came from her and I pulled out slightly. She didn't tap my thigh, so I continued to slowly watch the bulge appear and disappear as I gently thrusted inside her mouth.

She grabbed my thigh from both her hands and made me almost slam my cock in her and I cursed.

"You'll drive me crazy if you do that," I said breathlessly.

She squirmed happily and did it again. And again. And again. Fuck .

Stars swarmed my vision, and I spilled into her mouth. A guttural groan vibrated through me and I felt her warm mouth take my spill in.

"Fuck, Leora," I growled.

I pulled out and she swallowed it all with a happy sigh.

"Baby, that was…"

"Amazing," she smiled.

I knelt down in front of her and kissed her sweet mouth.

"Are you wet underneath all that gear, my Leora?" I asked as I smiled down at her.

"Always wet for you, always," her voice husky .

We both got up and I helped her get out of her gear. As soon as her black lace lingerie came into view, my unruly cock hardened again.

Greedy bastard.
