Compromising Love (The American Soldier Collection 10)

“You think the men, that hand gesture one of them did, triggered your memory?”

Aspen shrugged her shoulders. “Apparently from what I’ve read in the past it really doesn’t take much. If you think about it, Salvation, Casper’s has always been like a home to me. It’s the only place I feel comfortable in.”

“Don’t you feel safe in their arms at night? You should now, considering you know the truth,” Gia told her.

Aspen thought about that a moment. “I should be feeling safer, but I’m also wondering why they never told me. Why hadn’t they made a move earlier? Are they now because I’m in a tiny bit of trouble?”

“A little bit of trouble? Girl, you fucked over a Russian mob boss making him lose millions of dollars against a competitor. I would say that you’re in a little more than a tiny bit of trouble,” Gia whispered, and Aspen let out a small chuckle.

“You know, now that we’re talking about this. How exactly is Gunner really taking this situation? I mean, he knows or has known that Storm, Zin, York, Winter, and Weston have ‘connections,’” she said, making the finger signal by her head to emphasize the word. “Does it cause a conflict of interest, him being a Texas Ranger and all?” Aspen asked as she often wondered how the men had friends that were involved in law enforcement and other agencies that busted people who engaged in illegal activities. Not that the men were involved in anything that could hurt someone or take their life. At least that she knew of. That made her chest tighten. As long as she had known the team, it seemed she still didn’t really know who they were and what they had done in their lives.

“Gunner doesn’t really say. He’s not the only friend of your men that are involved in some sort of law enforcement or government agency. I think that Storm and them have helped Gunner and their other friends a few times in the past to help them solve crimes or track bad guys down. I think it all evens out or something,” Gia told her, and Aspen smiled. She looked around Casper’s, recognizing a few regulars and even some men and women she knew or recognized. Everything about the place, about Salvation, made sense to her. It was where she felt more like herself and able to let go. She wondered if all this crap with Andrei blew over, whether or not she should stay here in Texas. Then came thoughts of what would happen between her and the men. Could this really last forever? She wondered if they would get tired of her. Or maybe annoyed that she still had to sleep with the light on and that she still had nightmares. They were such amazing men and her feelings for them ran so deeply.

She looked up in time to see Garrett and Weston walking toward them.

“There ya are, darling,” Garrett said as he leaned down and kissed Gia and then squeezed her shoulder from behind her.

“You enjoy some dancing, baby?” Weston asked Aspen as he turned her stool toward him then leaned down and kissed her on the lips.

“Yes,” she whispered.

He winked. “Ready for bed? I mean to call it a night,” he said and cleared his throat. Garrett and Gia chuckled.

“We’ll get together this week? Maybe hit the dojo?” Gia asked Aspen as she got up with Garrett.

“Sure. Give me a call and I’ll see if one of my bosses will give me some time off,” Aspen teased, and Gia winked.

Weston pulled her up from the stool as Gia and Garrett walked away.

“Your bosses, huh? I think I like the sound of that. I can give you some orders and you can serve me,” he leaned forward and nibbled against her neck and shoulder.

She weakened in his embrace, rolled her head to the side to give him better access to her body. He ran his hand along her ass cheek and began to rock against her with the sound of the slow music in the background.

He whispered into her air, taking her lobe between his teeth.

“I want you, baby. I love that I don’t have to hide my feelings for you any longer. I can touch you, kiss you, whisper my naughty, wild intentions in your ear without a care as to who’s watching.”

His words aroused her as well as his hands. She felt him dance her toward the side of the wall in a part of the room that was a bit darker than the rest. When he had her where he wanted her, Weston kissed her deeply.

Her back hit the wall and immediately his hand moved between them, under her skirt, and against her mound. She gasped and looked around them, pulling from his lips. There was no one watching. At least not that she could tell. But then came the thought that she really didn’t care if anyone saw them. She felt possessive, and then that deep feeling of connection filled her heart.

She leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed Weston’s chin and then the corner of his lips.

“I want you, too. Every day, every moment. I’ve lusted for you, Weston. For far too l

ong.”

She saw his eyes widen and then darken. He pressed his finger up into her cunt and she pressed her body tighter trying to hide what he was doing from any possible prying eyes. He stroked her deeply, and she parted her lips and laid her head against his chest.

“I’ve lusted for you, too, baby. For many years I dreamed, fantasized about touching you, kissing you, and making you mine. I love that you’re so fucking wet right now. If it were darker in here, and I was sure no one would see us, I’d lift you up, wrap your legs around my waist and I’d shove my dick as far into as I could get. Inside you is heaven, baby. You have no fucking idea,” he told her, and she moaned as he thrust his fingers faster. Combined with his erotic words, she felt her body tighten and she gasped. He covered her mouth as she came, moaning into his mouth and rocking her hips.

He removed his fingers and caressed her back and ass then squeezed her tight.

“It’s time to go home, Aspen. The others are waiting.” He kissed her forehead then leaned down and grabbed her hand taking her along with them. As they turned to leave, there stood Storm and Winter looking almost angry. Her belly tightened, and as they got closer, she saw what was really in their eyes. Hunger. Had they seen what Weston did to her against the wall? Had they watched her come, or worse, heard her moan?

As soon as she was in reach, Winter grabbed her and pulled her against his chest. He kissed her deeply until she swayed.

“Get her to the truck. We need to get home now,” Storm ordered, and boy did her pussy clench with desire. They were feeling as aroused and needy as she was. Tonight, after they made love, she would tell them what she knew, and maybe even ask them why they never told her and when did they first realize they were in love with her.
