a Night Stalkers romance story

Sergeant Lee Ames had been cornered and didn’t appreciate it in the slightest. Night Stalkers were not supposed to be cornered; they were supposed to rule the night. He’d been flying for three months now with the most kick-ass helicopter company aloft. And in three months of almost nightly missions based off the U.S.S. Peleliu he’d been cornered a total of once—tonight. Lee didn’t care for it.
He wasn’t supposed
to be in the Sinai any more than the person he was here to extract. The Egyptian government would be very unhappy if they knew a helicopter of the U.S. Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment was parked in a dry wadi less than five hundred meters from the Suez Canal. His Little Bird might be the smallest helo in the military, but because it was an AH-6M assault bird, it was also heavily armed and absolutely lethal.
He checked his watch. 22:37. Three minutes later than the last time he’d looked, which did nothing to calm him down. Normally he was fine with waiting; patience was one of the deep skills learned during a decade in the Army. Hurry-up-and-wait was only the first-level talent, one possessed by every grunt who’d ever served. By the time he’d hit his third tour, he had the second-level down; waiting as tactic—a battlefield choice of inaction versus action.
The Night Stalkers had taught him the top-tier skill: waiting is. Waiting wasn’t something you endured or used. A non-judgmental time of primal consciousness. It was that time during which there simply was no proper action, so you waited. And when the time was over, you stopped waiting. In Special Operations waiting had become a simple state of being in between moments of action at a level most people couldn’t imagine, never mind sustain. There was a reason U.S. Special Operations were at the top of the world’s military pyramid.
Except right now the person he was supposed to be exfiltrating was two hours late. Captain Kara Moretti—watching from her drone circling six miles above—had told him to stay put as long as possible.
Waiting is he sighed, wholly unconvinced.
He’d assumed that a few hours before dawn, he’d have to leave whether or not his extraction subject had arrived. However, a firefight had broken out nearby and was now raging on the flat desert surface of the Sinai above his hiding place. Which might explain his contact’s delay, but was definitely going to trap him here for a while.
About an hour after he’d landed, he’d heard the distinctive crack of a supersonic bullet ripping through the air a half dozen meters above his helo. Then
