Escape from Obsession (The American Soldier Collection 1)

“What are you looking at?” she asked him.

He took her hand and squeezed it as he used his other hand to point to the array of pictures.

“That was me after basic.”

She looked closer and she could see how young he appeared.

“You look so young. Was it hard?” she asked as she turned back toward him.

He stared at her a moment.

“It was hard, but I took to it immediately. I enjoyed pushing myself to the limit. Just like Gunny and Wes, I became part of the elite commando force.”

He pulled her along with him toward the other end of the hallway that said “private.”

“I can show you some more pictures,” he whispered then took out a key and unlocked the door. They entered and he turned on the light. It was an office.

She looked around the room and could see the pictures.

“A commando, huh? That’s really dangerous right?” she asked, and her voice hitched in her throat as he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her gaze with a very serious one. He walked her backward as she held on to his forearms.

“Very dangerous. But I enjoyed it.”

Her back hit the wall and she knew he was going to kiss her. Surprisingly she wasn’t afraid but hungry. She wanted to taste his kiss and she got her wish as he moved one hand off her waist and above her shoulder to the wall behind her. He used his thumb to trace her lower lip.

“You’re special, Gia. I love being with you and talking to you. I’m not exactly a friendly person you know.”

“You? Not friendly? As I recall you were pretty friendly that night I first came into Casper’s. You didn’t even joke about my club soda drink.”

He smiled, those dimples peeked at her, and her heart soared.

He ran a finger along her cheek and pressed his body firmly against hers. She felt his hard muscles and his cock against her belly. Her pussy wept with need, suddenly feeling so swollen, and it was sensational.

“You broke my heart when you didn’t come back to visit.”

She took a deep breath and released it.

“I’m kind of quiet and like to keep to myself, too.”

“Not anymore,” he said then leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips.

She relished in the moment of their first kiss. Smooth, deep, and sexy, he explored her mouth while his hands roamed her body.

She was hesitant to reciprocate as he deepened the kiss then turned her so that he was pressed against the wall. She wondered if he sensed her hesitation and was giving her the power to control how far this went, but then his arm wrapped around her waist tightly as he held her head, devouring her moans. She ran her hands up along his muscular arms then down to his trim waist. She felt his large hand slide across her ass then squeeze her cheek as he pulled her closer. Then she felt the second set of hands and she gasped.

“It’s me, Gia. Don’t be scared.” Wes massaged her shoulders as Garrett eased up his hold to allow Wes to explore her body, too. She felt the heat of Wes’s chest against her shoulder blades and his firm, hard thighs against her ass. He was tall. They both were. But when he moved the palm of his hand under her camisole and touched her skin, she pulled from Garrett’s mouth.

“Oh God, Wes, please, this is too much.”

Wes took her mouth with his and devoured her words. Being wedged between them like this was overwhelming and then came the flashbacks. Antonio and Valdere. Both men pressing against her, trying to remove her clothing.

She pulled from Wes’s lips and pressed her hands hard against Garrett. She managed to part from them and stepped back, nearly tripping as she covered her mouth.

“Gia, what’s wrong?” Garrett asked and it was Wes who pulled her into his arms. He held her and she tried to steady her breathing.

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I totally panicked.”

“Why, baby? Did you think we would go too far or hurt you?” Wes asked.
