All Chapters of The Moonshine Task Force Series: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

TrevorI'm treading water, waiting for Blaze to come out of the women's section of the locker room. She just got off work, and I'm doing one of my last physical therapy sessions before they'll be releasing me. The month of January is flying by, but I can't wait to know what my game plan is for the rest of my career, and truthfully, the rest of my life. I have an appointment with the shrink tomorrow, and I just need to make it through this workout.We're the only ones here, and since it's near closing time, I think we'll probably be the last ones to show up. Luckily for me, I know the owner and we have a key. I love working out in the pool because there's little impact on my joints, and right now, they do hurt if I abuse them. The physical therapist told me in the next few weeks that should go away and then I'll be able to rejoin my guys in the Moonshine Task Force. Truth of the matter is, I'm so ready. Sitting around is definitely not the life for me, I can't fucking stand it. I he

Blaze"You're sure you're okay with watching her?" Whitney asks as Ryan tries to herd her out the door. "It's Valentine's, maybe the two of you had plans," she tries again, looking between Trevor and me."Our plans are right here, with her," I give her a reassuring grin. These two obviously want some time alone, and it looks like it's going to be difficult to get Whitney out the door. "Stella will be fine. You two go out and have a nice night. You deserve it."She looks like she wants to say no and argue with all of us, but Ryan clamps a hand over her mouth."We totally appreciate the two of you forfeiting your Valentine's Day so we can go out. We'll be home no later than midnight."Trevor tsks from where he stands behind me. "No sir, you will have her home no later than eleven thirty. It's a work night and she has a curfew."I laugh at the two of them when Ryan lifts a middle finger in Trevor's direction. "Don't tempt me, we'll stay out all night."Whitney shakes her hea

TankI turn around, ready to face whatever this fight is going to be. "So this is it, huh?" She questions, hands on her hips, lips pressed into a firm line. Blaze is fucking pissed, and I can't say that I blame her. "We're gonna have it out now? After all these months of walking on eggshells with each other, you're finally going to let me have it?""Do you really want it?" I take a pull off the beer in front of me. "Be careful what you're askin' for, sweetheart. Make sure you can handle it.""I think I saved Stella today and I showed you how important my job is for the world at large. That should count for something."She's right, it does count for a lot, but there's always going to be a fear I have after seeing what I saw. "You didn't see what I did," I argue.Blaze gets in my face. "And you didn't see what I did when you were in that truck, Trevor. The difference between us? I told you after it happened, I told you how scared I was, I shared my feelings. You've been tight-l

TankThe next morning, we both wake up somber and apologetic toward each other. "I'm sorry about how everything played out yesterday," I hold Blaze's head on my chest, running my fingers through her soft hair. "What happened was not at all how I meant for things to go, but if it got everything out in the open for us, then I'm willing to be thankful."She's quiet for a few moments before she kisses my bicep, then raises her eyes to meet mine. "I regret us regressing back to saying mean words to one another. We could've had a peaceful discussion if we wouldn't have been so hot-headed, but like you, I'm glad it's all out in the open. I've wanted to tell you about Annabelle for a long time, but I didn't know how to approach the conversation. With my parents acting like she never existed and I'm an only child, I never know how to tell anyone about her.""Do you want to tell people about her?" I ask. I've been up for a long time watching her sleep, going through the memories of us bein

Tank"Congratulations," I hear as soon as Blaze comes through the front door. My heart explodes with happiness as she runs to me, hopping up in my arms. "Thanks babe, I can't tell you how excited I am.""When do you get to start?""Tomorrow," I put her down, smacking my hand against her ass. "I filled out all my paperwork today. I'm good to go back on rotation tomorrow. Renegade and Tank will be burning up those backroads at zero nine hundred. So your lead foot better watch out.""Fuckin' speed trap artist," she grumbles as she stands on her tiptoe, kissing me on my jawline."If you'd obey the speed limit, there wouldn't be a problem."She knows I'm right, but she shakes her head anyway. "I'm gonna go change out of this uniform. It was hot today," she fans her hand in front of her face.It was hot today, but I honestly didn't care. I was too excited to be back in a police car, even if I did have to transport Leighton with Holden. That situation is really odd, and if I
