Ask Me No Questions (The American Soldier Collection 12)

Everyone greeted Stryker, amazed that he had finally shown his face and was out with his team and Cassidy in Casper’s. But they all realized that it was completely Cassidy’s doing, and they were all happy for them.

Cash couldn’t help but smile to see his father’s proud expression as he spoke with Cassidy while Stryker kept his arm wrapped around her waist. Cash was impressed with her strength and how composed she was when she explained everything that had happened between her and Blaze to Gunner, Teddy, Jim, and a few other guys they knew in the Texas Rangers and local police department. They had some other friends in the Houston PD, and Gunner was going to call them tomorrow to see what they could do to track down Blaze and get things started.

Gunner felt that Cassidy could still get the restraining order and press charges against Blaze, plus have him arrested for breaking and entering, threatening to do bodily harm, and assault.

He worried about her and his team. If this guy somehow got away before they could find him and catch him, Cash would never be able to rest peacefully again. Cassidy would be under strict guard, and they would all be living in fear. That wasn’t the best way to continue with this special relationship.

He felt the hand on his shoulder and turned to see Garrett.

“She’s great, Cash. I can’t believe how good Stryker looks. He isn’t even using a cane,” Garrett said to him.

“I know. Cass has helped him a lot the past few weeks. Stryker is trying to work up to running with her so he can share going jogging together.”

“Wow, that could take some time. He said his muscles are real tight and his bones ache a lot.”

“That’s from not using them. He was a mess and didn’t try to do any of his exercises. It was bad,” Cash said, watching Stryker hold Cassidy in his arms. She was nuzzling against Stryker’s neck as they spoke with Red and Gunner.

“It took someone special, someone like Cassidy, to change that. Like I said, she’s special. I’ll never forget what Cassidy did for me those years ago. I was a total prick.”

“I don’t think you could have been as bad as Stryker. At least you worked here and socialized a little. He wouldn’t leave the house.”

Cash felt the emotions. He didn’t want to think about those bad times. He wanted to focus on the good and on what was yet to come with Cass.

“Well, we’ll all look out for her, Cash. We’ll keep our eyes peeled. Word spreads fast around Tranquility when a community member is in danger. She’ll be just fine.”

“I hope so, and I appreciate that, Garrett. Thanks.”

Garrett headed back to the bar, and Cash took a sip from his beer. He locked gazes with Cassidy, and she looked concerned. He didn’t want her to feel on edge, so he pretended to smile. He watched her excuse herself from the conversation and head toward him. He locked gazes with Stryker, who smiled, which was rare, and even that affected Cash.

“Hey, are you okay?” she asked Cash as she pressed up against him, lay her palms against his chest, and held his gaze.

He ran his hand along her lower back and pressed her closer.

“I’m great, Cass. Because of you.” He lowered his mouth toward hers, and she stood on her tiptoes to reach his lips, and they kissed.

He loved her with all his heart, and tonight, he would tell her.

Cassidy felt like a huge weight had lifted from her chest after speaking to Gunner and his friends about Blaze. He really felt that he could help her.

This town was amazing, and so were the people who lived there. She’d never had anything like this before, and it seemed as if it was all too good to be true.

She leaned back against Stryker’s chest as he helped to undress her. The others were all there in the bedroom. All waiting to make love to her. It had been a special evening, and she loved each of them very much.

“You were the sexiest woman at Casper’s tonight, Cass. I couldn’t wait to get you home and get lost inside of you,” Stryker told her as he kissed her neck and unclipped her bra.

She closed her eyes and relaxed her breathing until Cash lifted her thigh up over his shoulder and tongued her cunt.

She gripped his head and leaned back against Stryker as Cash prepared her pussy for cock.

“You’re going to give me a big head, Stryker. I wasn’t the sexiest woman there.” She practically moaned as she came. She felt Cash’s fingers replace his tongue, and she rocked her hips.

“I’m telling you the truth, and you will be getting a big head. Mine,” Stryker told her as he pressed his cock between her ass cheeks.

She rocked against him. “I need it, Stryker. I want you too.”

Cash pulled his fingers from her cunt and lifted her up and against his chest.
