Ranger's Baby Surprise (Special Forces Elite 2)

Oh shit. He had a gorgeous smile too. The kind that would melt the panties off any woman. I twisted my bottom lip under my teeth. Already starting to feel my face flush.
“Then what could have possibly brought you out here?”
I waited for his answer.
“Elliot sent me.”
My eyes widened, and I reached for the column. But I wasn’t looking. My eyes were fixed on the tall stranger, and I missed my mark, landing back in his arms.

I caught her before she tumbled down the stairs. My hands snaked around her waist, pulling her against me.
This wasn’t supposed to happen. This wasn’t why I was here.
I set Olivia back on her feet.
“E-Elliot?” She looked in my eyes. She had beautiful brown eyes full of warmth and light. Something I had forgotten existed in this world.
I nodded. “I’m here to see his younger sister.”
I tried to sound official. But right now my blood was pumping. I felt the energy in my body surging at an all-time new level. My insides were now wide awake. This beautiful curvy vision had just changed the entire game.
“Are you with the insurance company?” She took a step back.
“No. Nothing like that. But I need to meet with his sister. Is she here?”
She raised her eyebrows and attempted a half smile. “That’s me. I’m Elliot’s sister.”
I looked at her. Fuck. She was Elliot’s sister? I had always envisioned Elliot’s little sister with freckles, braces, and glasses. Not curves and lips so full I had to remember to blink.
“Can we talk?” I motioned toward the front door.
“Would you like to come in?”
Hell yeah I wanted to come in. The mission had changed. Everything had changed. The minute she landed in my hands and I looked in her eyes, I knew she was mean to be mine. In what felt like a second, my whole world had changed. Shit like that didn’t happen. Especially to men like me.
Men who had to stay hardened. Men who had to serve and protect. Men whose only commitment to be to their country.
“That would be nice.”
I followed her inside, noticing the boxes stacked along the walls.
“Sorry it’s a mess. I’m packing up Elliot’s stuff, and trying to sort through what I can sell.”
I led him to a living room and I sat across from her. “What are you doing with all of it?”
“I have some boxes to donate. Some to try to sell online. The rest can just go with the house.”
My eyes shot to hers. “Sell the house?”
She nodded. “Yeah. I’m going to sell it.”
I tried to remember all the stories Elliot had told me about the house, but I was having trouble remembering all the details. Sometimes they talked just to try to keep each other awake. They would be out in the field for days with no sleep. It passed the time.
“Anyway.” She smiled. “You said you needed to talk.”
