Especially when a city councilman sends RECON Marine, Edwin Steele &#8211; who\u2019s\u00a0been blacklisted\u00a0from his Oakland department &#8211;\u00a0to join the team. God and Day weren&#8217;t\u00a0recruiting. They have a lot on their\u00a0plates, like the fact they&#8217;re supposed to be getting married soon.

He was done fighting with bigoted bastards\u00a0that couldn&#8217;t respect the job. He was good at fighting; he just needed the right team to fight with.

Steel thinks there&#8217;s no way the brilliant man\u00a0would\u00a0be interested in\u00a0a\u00a0hardhead\u00a0like him, but Tech has a few badass\u00a0hidden talents\u00a0of his own and\u00a0manages to surprise him&#8230; surprise all of them.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story is a part of a series but can stand\u00a0alone.

Tech was right behind them and he could hear the heavy steps of Syn and Day on his heels. <\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>\u201cHey, what\u2019s going on?\u201d The captain frowned from the entrance to his office, looking confused at all his officers scattering like rats.<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>\u201cThe Marine\u2019s in the ring with God,\u201d someone yelled.<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>\u201cOh hell,\u201d the captain said and joined in the crowd. <\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>Tech\u2019s heart was beating frantically, taking the stairs two at a time, all of them sounding like a cattle stampede. It was no secret around the precinct who their new addition was, a lot of them having seen the footage of him at the fast food robbery, so the thought of him going head to head with the baddest cop in Atlanta, that was something to run and see. <\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>When Tech came through the swinging doors, the first thing he saw was the goddamn crowd. Everyone was down there, even a couple of the officers from booking. <em>What the hell?<\/em> Then he noticed all the cell phones that were pointed in the direction of the ring, recording. The noise was crazy like they were watching two heavyweight champions. His breath stopped when he saw God shove Steele into the ropes and hammer away at his ribs. Steele tucked his elbows in tight, a look of determination and pain etched on his sweaty face. <\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>\u201cGet outta there, Marine!\u201d a deep voice shouted. \u201cGet off the ropes.\u201d<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>Tech watched Steele wrap God up in a bear hug to halt his punches. God stumbled back, pushing Steele off him, but to his surprise, Steele came at God with a combination that would\u2019ve made Ali proud. <\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>\u201cYeah!\u201d The crowd cheered when God stumbled back into the buckle, his big biceps flexing as he tried to defend against Steele\u2019s hits. <\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>Tech swallowed hard. He was amazed and extremely turned on by how fast Steele moved.<\/u><\/p>\n<p><u> God swung a quick left hook, the crowd erupting again when Steele ducked and returned the same level of punishment on God\u2019s ribs. Steele jumped back, meeting God in the center of the ring. Tech didn\u2019t know what round this was, but both of them looked like they\u2019d had the workout of their lives. He\u2019d seen God not even break a sweat in the ring, but large droplets poured off his chest and shoulders while he brought his hands up, squaring off with Steele again. God gave Steele a come-hither sign, telling him he was ready for more. <\/u><\/p>\n<p><u>Steele brought his arms back up and Tech\u2019s mouth watered, taking in Steele\u2019s strong upper body, his broad shoulders and ripped back. His pecs were thick and dripping sweat profusely, making the large tattoo there glisten in the dim lighting. The huge bald eagle clutching the world in his sharp talons with USMC beneath it, done masterfully. But the best part was Steele\u2019s knuckleduster piercing the image, the words Death Before Dishonor wrapped around the blade. Tech\u2019s skin heated and he eased back into the corner to silently keep watching and also hide his reaction.<\/u><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Author A.E.
