penwallaWren is waiting in Cross's office, and she is sleepy.
He isn't there, so she noses around. There's a stack of paper maps, which is of note because paper is expensive. Cross comes in, tells her she did a great job, and then gets to hitting on her again.
Cross tells Wren he is super horny for her, so she decides the best thing for them to fuck once to get it out of their systems. They do in fact fuck, right there on Cross's desk, and then Wren feels sick for about two sentences and rushes out. But then she literally says "I don't want to wash him off me" so clearly she doesn't feel that about it.
Like, what is the point of having Wren remind us every few paragraphs that she shouldn't want Cross? It never goes anywhere. We never get a scene where Cross gives her something worth betraying herself for. We never get a scene where she dwells on it in any depth. It's just the same rote protest from her over and over again.
This romance is worthless.

“You didn’t hear? Jordan was dispatched on a last-minute assignment. Headed for Red Post. Who knows when he’ll return. The post could last months. Years, even.”She is genuinely embarrassing.
My jaw drops. “You sent him away?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because he touched you this morning.”
I’m not supposed to be attracted to men like this. Possessive. Cocky. Ruthless. Yet the notion that I’d succeeded in triggering his jealousy sends a thrill shooting through me.
