Exclusive Excerpt
“NSDQ” by M.L. Buchman from Way of the Warrior
Kendall escorted her to her front door. It was long past dark by the time they returned to post. Most of the apartments would be empty, any Night Stalkers not on deployment would be night flying. She found it disorienting to be done with her day while the rest of the company was just starting theirs.
After holding the front door for her and making sure she had her keys, Kendall turned to leave. She was done in, it had been her longest day in a long time, but she still didn’t want it to end.
“Hey, Clark. Where are your manners?”
He stopped with one hand on the lobby door and furrowed his brow at her.
“C’mere.” She waved him over when he hesitated.
He approached cautiously.
“It’s rude to hold a woman’s hand half the night, tell her she’s beautiful when she’s feeling like shit, and then you don’t at least try for a good-night kiss. What’s up with that?”
“You want me to kiss you?”
“I wouldn’t complain if you at least tried. Don’t tell me you haven’t been thinking about it.” Because she knew she had, and it surprised her no end. And not just human-male contact. She wanted some Kendall Clark contact.
He stepped until he was so close that she actually backed up the last half-step against her locked apartment door.
“I…” His voice was soft and deep. They were so close she could feel the vibrations as much from his chest as she could with her ears. “I’ve been thinking about it since that day two years ago when we sat under the cherry tree in my backyard.”
Then, before she could begin to process her shock, he kissed her. Not some friendly thanks-for-the-nice-date kiss. Not even a testing kiss from a handsome and geeky guy.
He wrapped his soldier-strong arms around her and pulled her in against his surprisingly hard body. She’d never really quite paid attention to how often he’d joined in when they were doing physical training workouts. Now, she certainly could appreciate that he had. The heat of the kiss built until all she could do was wrap her arms around him and hold on for the ride. And it was a wild one.
About “NSDQ”
The Night Stalkers, the U.S. Army’s Special Operations helicopter regiment have a simple motto: NSDQ—Night Stalkers Don’t Quit! Any time, any place, any weather; they will deliver their team and they will get them back out.
Captain Lois Lang knows only one thing, flying combat search-and-rescue helicopters into the heart of the battlezone and getting her people back out. And when a CSAR mission gone wrong forces a decision about making the ultimate sacrifice—for her it isn’t a choice. Her crew and the wounded they’ve recovered always come first.
But the battle that awaits her afterward will test her limits. She can learn to walk again, but she must discover the strength to face what to do when she can’t fly. She has one thing in her favor: Night Stalkers Don’t Quit.
