“Why even get out then? Why not stay active?” Mark points the question directly to Talon.
“We left because it was time, Dad. You knew we were preparing for this for a while. If I remember, you and Mom were ecstatic.”
“Yes! Because we thought your ass was out of the line of danger.”
“Being in the Reserves was never any guarantee not to see action again.”
“Bullshit. You’re all talking around the core of the issue. What the hell is going on? We deserve to know.” Any patience Mark was holding on to vanishes as his voice grows louder.
“Trust us,” Talon states.
“The threat doesn’t hang over our heads. You need to let it go. We’re proud of our service, and in the event we’re needed again, our asses will be there,” Major says flatly.
“We’re fucking proud of you, too, but how do you expect us to let it go?” Sam snaps.
“I’m marrying Harley and building her a house less than a mile from where we’re standing. Next year, the four of us are transferring to the SWAT team. Who knows what comes after? On the off-chance we’re needed back with MARSOC, we’ll go. But I focus on the other things and that’s how I let it go.” I turn to check on Harley, who’s now back-to-back with Jewls, shaking their asses to Bon Jovi. My pulse picks up when she tosses her head to the side and catches me watching. Her smile spans across the distance, and the pressure eases out of my body. “I can understand all your concern, but I promise you that nothing is jeopardizing my life with that woman.”
“I’m not lying and saying I’m not concerned, but that promise is good enough for me.” Rich tips his chin.
“Well, since my son is taking his sweet ass time finding himself a good woman, I guess I’ll take Ace’s word, too.” Doug raises his glass my way and shoots Ford an amused grin.
The tension clears out of the air, and there are several murmurs of agreement.
“Now that shit is out of the way, can we discuss how the hell you guys got the reputation of Casanovas when you’re the lamest group of idiots I’ve ever met? You wouldn’t know how to be Casanovas with an instruction manual. Maybe Sam and I need to relocate and teach you lessons.” Drake shakes his head in disappointment, and I know exactly the reason for the cackling earlier.
Harley and Jewls have been gabbing, and I don’t give one shit.
“Achilles, please…” she begs, her back arching as she writhes against my mouth. I press down on her thighs to anchor her in place and continue to lick slowly, circling my tongue around her clit every few strokes.
I force myself to slow down, my gaze raking up her body. My cock throbs with need at the sight of her staring down at me with hooded, molten eyes filled with desire.
She’s wet and hot against my lips, her legs quivering. I speed up, giving her what she needs, devouring her pussy with each lick. Her hand grips my head and she rocks her hips, her whimpers becoming frantic.
My thumb moves to caress her lightly as I tease her clit again. That’s all it takes. She comes undone, crying out my name and tearing at the sheets. I lightly kiss over her a few times before kneeling and pulling her hips up. A knot coils in the pit of my stomach at the sight of her laid out before me. Her eyes shine with pleasure when they open and land on mine.
“Good morning,” she breathes out hoarsely.
I bend over, trailing my lips up her stomach, around each nipple, and along the column of her throat until I’m at her ear. “Grab onto me.”
Her arms circle my shoulders, and I go back on my calves, shifting my legs so they cocoon around her. My cock pulses between us and she grins, shifting upward, swiveling her hips until the tip slides partially inside her heat and it’s my turn to groan. She balances on my shoulders, making circles and rolling motions with her hips, teasing me until every nerve ending in my body feels like a live electric current.
My hands clutch at her hips, urging her to slide, but she shakes her head, fisting the back of my neck, and dipping her mouth back to mine. I sweep my tongue along her parted lips before nipping the bottom one gently. “Sink down, give me all of you.”
“In a minute. I’ve always wanted to play ‘just the tip’.” She swivels her lower body in a large arcing motion, the action shooting a searing heat through my bloodstream. Most of my blood rushes south, leaving me lightheaded. My dick throbs, swelling thicker by the second.
“Baby, if you wait, I’m afraid I’ll split you in two.” My balls ache to the point of pain with the need to drive into her hard.
