her thoughts. 
    She gave him a sidelong seductive glance. “Well, a girl’s gotta eat.” 
    His lip twitched with amusement. “Lead the way. I’m still new in this town.” 
    Unconsciously, she moistened her lips. “Mexican okay?”
    “Works for me.”
    She gave him directions to her favorite restaurant, which was only a ten minute ride. 
    Luna stared out the window during the drive to keep herself from staring at Hunter. The last thing she wanted was to seem too into him. Relief washed over her when they pulled into the parking lot.
    She watched as he walked around the truck to open the door for her. She loved the way his muscles rippled and tensed as he moved. He stirred something inside of her that had been dormant for quite a while now. And she hadn’t even realized it until he walked into her life.
     They walked through the door and loud Spanish music greeted them, bringing an instant smile to her face. The place was decorated in a festive theme, lots of bright orange, yellow, and greens. A sombrero hat hung from the ceiling. 
    “Señorita Luna, so nice to see you again.” The maître d’, a rail thin man with a slight pot belly and a droopy mustache greeted them with an affectionate smile. Luna flashed him a grin as he led them to a corner booth. It was always nice to be remembered. 
    “I take it you come here often?” Hunter asked, as he glanced over the menu. 
    Luna shrugged. “At least once a week. It’s cheap and the food is amazing.” 
    A waiter came by and dropped a bowl of chips in the center of the table, along with dip and two glasses of water, before scurrying away. 
    Taking a sip, Luna couldn’t help but notice Hunter looked even sexier in the glow of the candle’s light. Erotic images danced through her head. 
    Unable to help herself, Luna’s gaze dropped to his hands. Like everything else on his body, they looked strong and powerful. She couldn’t wait to feel them all over her bare skin. 
    A waitress came up this time, her eyes were sharp, taking in Hunter from head to toe. If he noticed he didn’t react. Thankfully, because Luna might have to jump across the table if he’d dare check out another chick in her presence. Luna smiled slightly. Point one for Hunter. She couldn’t blame the woman, she’d have done the same thing herself.
    They placed their orders and Luna watched as the woman walked away. The extra sway she added to her step wasn’t lost on Luna. The girl even glanced over her shoulder to see if she had an audience.
     It surprised her to feel the hint of jealousy creeping up. She was a lot of things, but jealous and insecure were not a part of her genetic makeup, and she didn’t like the fact that a virtual stranger was bringing those feelings out in her. 
    “She wants you,” Luna said, keeping her face a cool mask as she grabbed a chip and dipped it into the salsa. 
    Hunter raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t notice.” He captured her eyes with his. “I was too busy watching the way your lips wrapped around the straw.”
    A wide smile spontaneously spread across her face. She stopped herself from reaching over and touching his hand. Why didn’t she? It’s not like she ever exercised caution around a man before. Whenever she wanted something she just took it. ‘Take pleasure any way you can’ has always been her motto.
    The waitress came back and set two glasses of whiskey and Coke down before them, making sure to lean forward to give Hunter a clear view of her cleavage, but his eyes never left hers.  
    “Tell me about yourself,” Luna said, picking up the glass and swirling the ice before taking a long sip.
    “What do you want to know?”
    She found herself wanting to know everything about him. “Let’s see. Did you always want to be a Green Beret?”
    “Pretty much. Like most kids, I wanted to be a doctor, a spy, or something like that. By the time I was ten, I knew I was going in the military and my dream was to be in the Special
