logistics team off to the desert to line up support for their SEALs. Now she was waiting for some guy she barely knew to arrive at her door so she could sleep with him. How fair was that?
Well, it wasn’t fair. But that’s how it worked, and she knew it. If any of her guys had stayed behind, they’d be out bar hopping and getting laid. Some would be going home to wives and families… and to dogs that got walked and cuddled and fed while they were away.
Feeling sorry for what she didn’t have wasn’t going to change anything. At the least the guy coming was interested in her sexually.
She tightened her jaw and stared at her reflection, wondering if she could really leave the military behind, even if she physically exited. Would she continue to wonder what her guys were doing? Would she continue to wonder if they were doing okay without her? Were they her pseudo-family?
Melina shook her head as she stepped away. It wasn’t just her attraction to Gower Beckett that was confusing her. And if she didn’t give her Sergeant Major an answer soon, she could kiss her current assignment good-bye for sure. They wanted to make Jack a Gunny and he deserved the promotion. But this was her life they were pressuring her to change.
Being a Marine was all she knew about herself for certain. It wasn’t like she’d stored up a second career to move on to.
The doorbell rang, bringing an end to her internal debate. Gower Beckett was at her door. Gower with his wide shoulders, his wickedly arrogant grin, and penchant for sexual flirting. He might not clear up any thinking for her, but maybe he would offer a distraction.
She walked slowly to the door, sans cane today. Her foot was tender, but Gower’s foot rubs had truly helped. And the stitches had sealed the wound. She wasn’t a hundred percent, but she was as good as she could be.
Melina opened the door and her heart fluttered at the man standing there. His smile widened as he took in her lip gloss, mascara, and earrings.
“You look amazing,” Gower declared. “And I’m flattered you would do this for me.”
“Full out girl mode,” Melina answered. “You coming in or standing in the hall all day.”
Gower chuckled. “Oh… there you are. For a moment there, I wasn’t sure I had the same woman.”
“Is that just sandwiches in your bag?” Melina asked.
Gower laughed. “Yes. And I’m glad to see you too.”
Melina sighed. “This is as nice as I get, Beckett. Put the bag down and kiss me hello. ”
Gower dropped the bag on the coffee table and turned back. “Okay. I’ll take it.” He held out his arms.
She stepped into him, feeling his heat as she reached for his mouth. He wasn’t a lot taller, so a tiny head tilt down erased the distance. His tongue in her mouth matched the hard bulge that grew against her as he pulled her closer. Her hands explored his upper body, finding their way under the t-shirt he wore. His back was as heavenly as his chest pressing against the front of her. Her breasts perked right up at the pressure.
Gower was hard everywhere—hard and hot. And acting as needy as she felt. His hips seeking hers presented some hard evidence. Her hands fell to his hips to help them find the perfect fit. One of his legs slid smoothly between her thighs proving that he wasn’t an inexperienced boy.
They groaned together as their tongues tangled. Shock at the strength of their desire soon had them pulling apart before things went too far to retreat. Melina swallowed her embarrassment to be so turned on so quickly. His fingers under her chin forced her gaze back up to his.
“How polite do you want me to be? I’m supposed to be feeding you lunch before this.”
The whispered question had her closing her eyes. She wasn’t sure what Gower was seeing when he looked at her.
“Melina,” he repeated, tightening his hold on her chin. “Talk to me. Don’t make me read your mind. I don’t want to be wrong.”
Her eyes popped open and saw he meant
