Escape from Obsession (The American Soldier Collection 1)

She felt the arm go around her waist and the large, solid chest against her back.

“Hungry, baby?”

Gunner.

I’m hungry for you and your brothers. The thought made her cheeks warm as she turned in his arms and looked up into his dark eyes.

“I could eat,” she whispered to him and he raised his eyebrows at her as he caressed his hand over her back and under her jersey. The warmth of his palm against her skin enticed her for more.

“Well, I could eat you. You’re a mighty tasty little morsel, Gia. I just might have to bring you into the back room and get me a little to hold me off until after the game.”

“Really?” she replied as the heat hit her cheeks and her pussy wept. She felt that lustful, hungry feeling again.

“Break it up, you two. We don’t have too much time to eat before the second half,” Jasper, his father, said, interrupting them.

Gia turned to walk toward the table, but Gunner held her hand so they could walk together. He brought her fingers up to his lips and kissed them. She held his gaze, knowing that he was feeling just as needy as she was. But then he took her other hand, the bandaged one, and placed his hand against her cheek.

“Are you feeling okay? Not too tired yet?”

“I’m good, Gunny. Let’s get something to eat.”

Not an ounce of pain. I never felt better. So why am I waiting for something to go wrong?

Gia was coming out of the bathroom when she felt her cell phone vibrating against her back pocket. As she looked down the hallway she saw Teddy and Gunner standing together. They spotted her and she waved then took the call.

“Hello.”

“Sweet little Gia, I underestimated you.”

She heard Jeffrey’s voice and she gasped.

“Don’t have much to say, huh?” he asked.

She tried to remain calm. She couldn’t believe that he was calling her.

“How did you get this number?”

“Easily, honey. Just as easily as I can come and get you. You’re in apartment 4C in the Green Mountain Apartments, right? Nice view of the gardens from your living room and bedroom. I like the comforter set.”

She held her hand against her neck as a sinking feeling consumed her. “You were in my apartment?” She raised her voice and looked up to see both Gunner and Teddy heading toward her. Both had expressions of concern on their faces

She covered the mouthpiece on the phone as they approached.

“It’s Jeffrey,” she whispered and both men reached for the phone, but Gunner grabbed it fr

om her. He placed the phone to his ear as Teddy pulled Gia into his arms.

“What did you just say, asshole?” Gunner screamed, obviously upset about what Jeffrey said. “You listen to me. If you ever call her again or go anywhere near her, I’m personally going to eliminate you. Fuck off.” Gunner ended the call and as Gia looked up from where she stood in Teddy’s arms. He looked mega pissed off.

“What’s going on?” John Luke asked.

“That asshole who attacked her just called her cell phone.” Gunner raised his voice.

“It’s okay, Gunny. Please calm down,” she began to say as John Luke motioned with his hand to someone.

Teddy released her as she reached for Gunny’s hand. He was resistant a moment until he handed Teddy her cell phone before leading her down the hall.
