Rip POV Annie answered the phone, her tone and body language instantly changing. I couldn’t help but smirk, she was so beautiful when she fully relaxed with her smile taking over her face... until I noticed all the eyes on me. Fuckers. Annie walked out, and I appreciated how many looked at Viking and me waiting for instructions. I pointed to two of our best to quickly follow her while I dealt with the fuckers staring at me. Trigger and Fire not moving a muscle, waiting for this s**t show. “So… Reid… let us get this straight, you claiming her?” Viking was f*****g loving this. I haven’t been in a relationship in… I don’t f*****g know, and I don't think anyone here has ever seen me in one. I’m not around much, and I’m not even supposed to be here right now, except the mission was aborte
