Excerpt From Flash Fire by Elle Kennedy:
Would it be wrong to hit the man you loved?
Probably.
Besides, Jen didn’t really want to hit him. Maybe kick him
in the shin, though. Or
throw something at him. Because…had he really just told her
she couldn’t go?
As in, he was attempting to dictate what she could or
couldn’t do in her own life?
“Okay, just to be clear,” she said tightly. “You’re telling
me I can’t go?”
“That’s exactly what I’m telling you,” Cash shot back.
Anger and disbelief twisted in her belly, making it
difficult to keep the hostility out of
her voice. “So you make decisions for me now?”
“About this? Hell yes.” He grabbed his jeans and yanked them
on, his sculpted
shoulders rigid with tension. “You think I’m going to let my
girlfriend happily stroll into a
war zone? No way.”
“First of all, it’s not a warzone. And second, even if it
was, how is me going any
different from what you do?” she challenged. “You put your
life at risk on a daily basis!”
“That’s what I trained for, Jen! I went through years and
years of training that taught
me how to handle myself in dangerous situations.”
“And I can’t handle myself?” she demanded, her skin
prickling with offense.
“No, you can’t,” he said bluntly. “You’re trained in
self-defense, not in urban warfare.
Central America is too unstable right now. It’s too fucking
dangerous, especially for a
woman traveling alone.”
“I won’t be alone,” she insisted. “I already told you, the
magazine is arranging for a
military transport. And there’s a whole unit of US Marines
down there training the local
military.”
“That doesn’t mean shit if you’re in a town that’s overrun
with gangs and they open
fire on you, or kidnap you, or kill you.”
“We won’t be going into areas like that.”
“The whole country is areas like that!”
Cash snatched his shirt off the floor and threw it on,
radiating waves of white-hot
anger.
But his response had left her equally infuriated. It
would’ve been one thing if he’d
calmly suggested they talk it over, but to flat-out say she
couldn’t go? With no
discussion? Without even hearing the details?
She didn’t mind a caveman in bed, but this was ridiculous.
“I’ll be taking every precaution. And you know I’ve visited
poverty-stricken areas
before. I only do boring portraits for Today’s World, but I
used to travel on my own,
remember?”
“The other places you’ve gone haven’t involved drug cartels
and—” He stopped and
shook his head. “I don’t know why we’re even still talking
about this. You’re not going.”
Every muscle in her body seized to the point of paralysis.
Jen could barely take a
breath she was so furious. She stared at Cash’s inflexible
expression as she struggled
to control her temper.
“You have no say in this,” she said stiffly. “If I choose to
go, then you can’t stop me.”
She stuck out her chin. “And I choose to go.”
Astonished blue eyes stared back at her. “You’re fucking
kidding me.”
“Does it look like I’m kidding?”
“You’d really put your own neck on the line just so your
pictures can be featured in a
lead story?”
The harsh words stung. “It’s what I signed up for when I got
into photography,” she
snapped. “I never wanted to be a bubblegum photographer who
takes portraits of cats
and babies and frickin’ fruit baskets! I want to shed light
on real issues and make a
difference.” She glared at him accusingly. “You know that.
And you always said you
supported it.”
“I do support it.” He glared right back. “But not when
there’s a risk to your life.”
“There’s a risk to your life every time you go wheels-up.
Every time you’re deployed
for months on end.” Frustration clawed up her throat. “I
have to live with that every
fucking day. The worry and the panic and the fear that I’ll
never see you again—”
“Jen—”
“Well, it’s your turn to live with it. I’m going, Cash.”
“Jen…” A warning note crept in.
“I’m going,” she repeated. “And as much as I would love your
support about this, I
don’t need it in order to accept this assignment. Nor do I
need your approval.”
Cash didn’t answer. A noticeable vein appeared in his
forehead, his mouth set in a
tight, angry line. He looked ready to explode, but Jen
didn’t care. His high-handed,
domineering reaction to this whole situation had seriously
pissed her off.
“By the way,” she said curtly. “I leave tomorrow.”
