HELL OR HIGH WATER by Julie Ann Walker – Exclusive Excerpt
“I was just thinking maybe the reason LT hasn’t called Olivia is because that thing they had in Syria was just some sort of foxhole In Love and War bullshit. Nothing real. Then again, that wouldn’t explain the look on his face this morning.”
“It was real,” Bran gritted out.
“You say that like you’re sure.” Wolf said. “He said something to you?”
“Yeah, sure.” Bran nodded, gifting Wolf with the facial equivalent of Have you lost your ever-loving mind? “He told me right after we exchanged manicure secrets, shared skin-care advice, and listed all our favorite Britney Spears songs.”
Wolf simply sat there in that Wolf way of his. Totally still. Totally enigmatic. To date, Bran had yet to find what it took to ruffle Wolf’s feathers. So, he was left with no recourse but to relent. “I mean seriously, dude. Can you imagine Leo “the Lion” Anderson admitting he’s in a state of serious forlorn yearning for a cute, raven-haired spook?” Pigs will fly, hell will freeze over, and Sicily will elect an incorruptible government. “No. He hasn’t said a damn thing. And the truth is, at first I thought the reason he was walking around with a hangdog expression on his face like he’d been kicked in the apple bag was because of what happened back there.”
Wolf shot him a look, one brow arched, one corner of his mouth quirked. “Like he’d been kicked in the apple bag?”
“What?” Bran grinned, spreading his arms wide. “You know me. The master of tact.”
“Unquestionably.”
“But I’ve known the guy for over fifteen years now,” he continued. “LT has never once sworn off the ladies. Not until Syria. Not until Olivia. So, yeah. It’s real. Now whether ‘real’ means unrequited lust or ‘real’ means unrequited love is anybody’s guess.”
