  Kenley walked toward him, face flushed, curls bouncing around her head, and that sexy-as-fuck dress clinging to her like a second skin. The way it wrapped around her breasts should be illegal—he’d have to convince her not to wear things like that when he wasn’t around. Because hell, the things he wanted to do to her…she was like a present, just waiting for him to unwrap. The dark blue set off her ivory skin, and for a moment, he was again reminded of a painting. She looked like a goddess stepping out of a canvas, headed straight for him.

  She stopped in front of him, not hesitating to meet his gaze. Her heels made her a bit taller, but she still only reached his shoulder. His eyes were drawn to her chest rapidly rising and falling. Was she angry? Aroused? In complete shock to see him?

  “Your cast is off,” he finally said, his voice sounding gruffer than expected.

  She swallowed. “I just got it off this morning.”

  “So you’re okay?”

  “Fine,” she said, her voice wavering. “Fine,” she repeated.

  Unable to help himself, he reached out, brushing one of those curls back from her face, his hand skimming across her cheek. She looked so fragile and delicate, he wanted to tuck her against him, hold her close, and keep her safe. Forever.

  Hell. He’d never had any such desires with a woman before. But something about her made him want to protect and honor her. Cherish her. Love her.

  “You left without saying goodbye,” he said quietly.

  “You knew I was leaving.”

  He nodded. “That doesn’t mean I like the idea of you walking right out of my life. Hell, Kenley, I’ve never taken a woman home before. Never made her breakfast, offered to help her fix her car. I care about you.”

  Her mouth dropped open in surprise. “But you guys always have women hanging around—I’m not stupid. I’m not blind. Why me?”

  “Because you’re the only woman I’ve had to chase after. You’re not afraid to talk back to me, to tell me like it is. To call me out when I’m being an asshole. You rushed down to help your best friend when she needed you. And because you’re the prettiest woman I’ve ever seen.”

  “Mike….” Her voice sounded breathless. His heart pounded furiously in his chest. Damn, it felt like a herd of galloping horses. He jumped out of airplanes, fought with unknown enemies, shot at insurgents. And he couldn’t tell a woman how he felt without his nerves getting in the way?

  “I’m scared of the way I feel around you,” she admitted. “I do like you—even if you can be arrogant some of the time, you’re a good guy. But I just feel so out of control when we’re together.”

  His hands slid to her waist, pulling her closer toward him.

  “I feel completely out of control when I’m with you,” he said huskily.

  He cupped her chin, tilting it up. Her vanilla scent washed over him, and his groin tightened. Kenley was so damn sweet it almost hurt just to look at her. He ducked lower and kissed her softly, gently. Promising her everything that was to come.

  Her hands slid around his neck, and those tempting breasts pushed against his chest. Damn. She was so soft and yielding to him, just completely perfect. “Take me home,” he instructed, breaking their kiss. “Let me make love to you all night.”

  “But how did you manage to get leave?” she asked. “I thought you had to be on call twenty-four seven.”

  Mike shrugged, a smile tugging at his lips. “Christopher assured our CO that it was urgent. I’ve only got the night, and then I have to drive back. We’ve got late training again tomorrow. Lexi said you two could come down this weekend though.”

  Kenley raised her eyebrows.

  “Surprise,” Mike said.

  Kenley laughed, and then looked back toward the bar. Mike’s gaze followed hers.

  Christopher had his arms wrapped around Lexi, and she waved at Mike and Kenley from across the room. He’d have to thank both of them later on for convincing him to go after Kenley.

  Her small hand slipped into his, and he glanced down. “Let’s go,” she said.

  “Where are you taking me?”

  “My place. And you’re not allowed to leave until morning.”

  Chapter 17

  Kenley and Mike hurried hand-in-hand through the lobby of her apartment building. Mike’s jaw was set in a firm line, his eyes dark with arousal, and there was no mistaking the bulge that had formed in his pants. The metro ride back to Arlington from DC had been torture, with Mike whispering suggestively in her ear the entire time. By the time they’d reached the station, she was all but ready to rip her dress off right then and there.

  The cool October evening did little to chill her overheated flesh as they’d rushed down the block to her apartment. She had a feeling that if Mike had known the way, he’d have scooped her up and carried her there himself in an effort to make haste. Not that that would have drawn attention to them or anything, she’d thought with a smirk.

  The elevator doors finally opened, and Mike backed her against the wall as they rode up to her floor, his spicy scent making her dizzy with desire. His hands rested on the wall on either side of her head, his muscular arms caging her in as he bent over. He was big and strong and looked ready to completely devour her. But despite his aggressive stance, he kissed her softly, his mouth moving slowly against hers, holding back.

  The elevator dinged as it finally reached her floor, and she practically dragged Mike down the hallway. The second her apartment door swung shut behind her, Mike was on her, kissing her passionately. “It’s been too long since I’ve touched you,” he growled, backing her against the door until his hard body was pressed against hers.

  She felt every inch of him, from his broad pecs and solid abs to his thick arousal. She trembled as his lips skimmed down the column of her neck, his breath hot on her flesh, his teeth grazing her sensitive skin. His hands fumbled with the sash at her waist, tugging it until her dress fell open.

  Hot hands brushed over her skin. Her breasts swelled and nipples tightened as arousal dampened her panties. Mike’s fingers slid across her bare shoulders, pushing the dress off, allowing the blue frock to fall to the ground. “Hey, your cast’s gone,” he said.

  Kenley smirked. “It took you a while to notice.”

  Blue eyes nailed her with a gaze. In an instant, he’d captured her wrists and pinned them above her head with one hand. She gasped as he flashed her a wicked grin and then tugged one cup of her lacy bra down. He sucked one nipple into his mouth, pulling hard on the taut bud. She cried out as the feeling shot straight to her core. His tongue laved against her nipple, teasing and tormenting her, as his other hand slid to her black lace panties. She was drenched, dripping for him, and he groaned in approval as he fingered her through the delicate material.

  “Fuck, Kenley, you are so wet for me.” His hand slipped inside her panties, and she moaned as his fingers slid through her slick folds. Mike’s breathing was heavy as he ducked his head, sucking on the skin of her neck. She didn’t know who was more aroused at the moment—her or him. Two thick fingers penetrated her, and his thumb slid across her throbbing clit. She gasped and arched against him, desperate for more. Mike softly bit the tendon where her neck and shoulder met, causing her to cry out. His fingers began thrusting in and out of her core, stretching and filling her as she writhed against him. It was good, so good, but not nearly enough.

  “Please,” she begged. “I need you inside me.”

  “Not yet.”

  His thumb slid across her sensitive bundle of nerves, and she bucked against him. His grip tightened around her wrists as he held her in place. Molten heat slid through her veins, setting her entire body on fire. She was helpless, trapped between the door and Mike’s large frame, and she’d never been so aroused in her life. He was once again in complete control, commanding her body, and she was desperate for him to bring her to release.

  She glanced down at his hand pushed inside her skimpy little panties, the sight as erotic and enticing as hell
. He pumped his fingers faster, harder, edging her on. His thumb circled her clit, moving faster and faster, and suddenly she exploded, crying out as she burst into a million little pieces. Mike continued his onslaught as she bucked wildly against his hand. Finally she fell back down to Earth, gasping as she tried to regain her breath.

  Mike fumbled with the clasp on her bra, and cool air rushed over her nipples. He quickly shucked off his shirt and ducked down to help her step out of her lace panties. All she had on were her heels, and Mike gripped her ankles, instructing her to leave them on. It was sexy as hell having him hold her in place like that, and her breath caught as he gazed up at her from where he knelt, his expression wild. Mike was a man on the edge, and she wanted to take him up the precipice and send him soaring.

  “Just one taste,” he muttered, hooking her leg over his shoulder. She was completely bare, exposed to him, and his mouth was on her in an instant. He grabbed her hips, pulling her closer, holding her to him. He licked, sucked, and lapped at her, drinking in all of her juices. Long swipes of his tongue were interspersed with tiny ministrations, and she was whimpering within moments. Teasing her swollen clit, he brought her higher once more. She grabbed onto his head, her fingernails scraping against his scalp as he devoured her. Her legs began trembling, and a moment later, Mike had lifted her other leg onto his shoulder, so she was leaning against the door, legs spread wide over his broad shoulders.

  He slid two fingers inside her tight channel once more, and she exploded, bucking against his mouth as he suckled her clit. Finally Mike lifted her off him but stood, holding her steady as if she weighed nothing at all. He backed her against the door, lining his throbbing erection up with her wet heat. “I’ve wanted to do this since the first day I met you,” he confessed as he slowly pushed inside.

  She gasped, clinging to his broad shoulders. He was so big, bigger than she remembered, his cock like velvet-covered steel. He was so hot and hard for her, she eagerly took him in, the aftershocks from her orgasm causing her walls to continuously spasm, until he filled her completely. Mike inside of her felt like coming home—like she’d been missing something all along without ever knowing it. She’d never tire of the feel of this man inside her, joined with her. It was just about the closest thing to heaven she’d ever known.

  Mike gently began thrusting, gripping her ass with muscular hands, forcing her to ride up and down his shaft. She cried out as waves of pleasure began to overtake her once more. She’d barely come down from her last high and Mike was already building her up. She couldn’t control anything in this position, she was simply at Mike’s complete mercy as he claimed her. He stepped away from the door so she was solely supported by him, completely impaled by his erection. She cried out again and again as he thrust deeply. Gasping, she threw her head back. His mouth captured one breast, and he sucked eagerly, bucking into her, until she was crying out his name in ecstasy.

  “Oh my God,” she gasped as she finally collapsed against him.

  “Bedroom,” he demanded.

  “Down the hall,” she murmured, her lips brushing against his neck. He smelled so good, like man and spice and comfort. Like home. Maybe her own parents hadn’t been there for her, but Mike had proven that he would be.

  He carried her down the hall, still buried deep inside her. It was erotic as hell having him hold her this way, their bodies still joined. She never wanted it to end.

  Mike sat on the edge of the bed as she straddled him, and her eyes grew wide as he hardened once more.

  Mike shot her a cocky grin. “I told you, I’m always hard around you.”

  “Jesus. I’m never going to get any rest with you around.”

  He raised one eyebrow. “Is that a bad thing?”

  “Not at all,” she said, kissing him passionately.

  “So about this weekend,” he interrupted, breaking off their kiss.

  “I’ll be there,” she promised.

  “So we’re giving this a go between us?”

  “Absolutely. I want this to work. And if we have to do the long-distance thing for a while, then we’ll do it. I’ve never felt the way that I do when we’re together.”

  “I’m falling in love with you Kenley,” he said, meeting her eyes.

  She happily sighed. “I think I’ve already fallen in love with you.”

  Epilogue

  Kenley giggled a month later as Mike pulled her into his lap at a seafood restaurant down by the ocean. She hastily set her drink down, not wanting to spill red wine all over herself, as Mike’s muscular arms wrapped around her, holding her tight.

  “I propose a toast,” Lexi said, grinning.

  “To what?” Kenley asked.

  “To happy couples,” Lexi said.

  “To nights to remember,” Mike added.

  He drew Kenley in for a kiss as Lexi laughed and Christopher shot them a knowing grin. “Maybe we should plan a double wedding,” he joked.

  “You don’t have to convince me,” Mike teased. “It’s Kenley who won’t let me seal the deal.”

  Kenley playfully swatted his arm. “We’ve only been officially dating for a month. Those two have known each other ten years. I mean technically, it took Christopher that long to propose.”

  “Hey,” he protested.

  “That doesn’t count,” Lexi chimed in.

  “So what if he did?” Mike asked. “A man can’t know what he wants? I know a good thing when I see it.”

  “He does sound rather convincing,” Lexi agreed, her violet eyes twinkling.

  “Hang on a second, babe,” Mike said, setting Kenley back in her chair. “I forgot something.”

  Kenley raised her eyebrows as Mike stood up and then quickly bent down on one knee, producing a velvet box. She gasped, raising her hands to her face in surprise, as Christopher and Lexi grinned at them.

  “You knew about this!” Kenley said. “Both of you!”

  Mike raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to calm down. He popped open the lid, and a beautiful diamond solitaire peeked out, nearly stealing her breath. The way her heart pounded furiously had to be from the second glass of wine she’d just enjoyed. Not from the man of her dreams down on one knee proposing.

  “Kenley, I knew from the moment that we first met that I wanted you. I just didn’t know how much. You make me the happiest I’ve ever been, and the only thing that could make me even happier is knowing that you’ll be my wife. Marry me, and I’ll spend the rest of my life cherishing, honoring, and protecting you.”

  “Are you serious?” Kenley asked, tears welling in her eyes. “You really want us to get married?”

  Mike swiped a tear from her cheek, sending her an easy smile. “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life. Will you marry me?”

  “Yes,” she whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks.

  Mike leaned in closer, pulling her to him. “Baby, don’t cry,” he murmured softly.

  “I can’t help it,” she said, brushing away her tears. “I’m just so happy.”

  Mike slipped the ring on her finger as the other couples around them clapped and cheered, the loudest of all Lexi and Christopher.

  Kenley flushed at the attention and looked deep into Mike’s eyes. “I love you.”

  “I love you, too.”

  They happily kissed, content to start their own perfect version of forever.
