I run back over to the apartment and wash the sweat off me. I know the races are all outside today, so I put on a skirt with a spaghetti strap shirt. I head out the door, determined to find where Decklan hides.

“Excuse me, could you tell me where Captain Parker’s office is?” I ask the first soldier I see.

“I’ll walk you there. You’ll never find it on your own.”

He’s right. We’ve looped around several long buildings until we make it to the far end. “His office is on the second floor. Up the stairs to the left, third door on the left.”

“Thank you.”

“My pleasure.” He opens the door for me.

I follow his directions and sure enough, in big bold letters on the door, Captain Decklan Parker. I tentatively knock and hear a roar to come inside.

When I open the door, I immediately know he was expecting me. He’s sitting in the chair behind the desk, leaning forward on his arms. His hands are clasped together.

He smiles, but it doesn’t reach his eyes. “I was wondering how long it would take you to find me. Roxy, isn’t it?” He points at the chair for me to sit.

It’s then that I realize he lied to me too. He said he didn’t know Luke. I walk over to the chair and move it out of my way. Crossing my arms over my chest, I stare at him for a moment before I speak.

“You said you didn’t know Luke.”

“You said your name was Roxy.” He sits back.

“I thought you were some crazy guy. I didn’t want to give you my real name. What’s your excuse?” I walk around to his side of the desk.

“I knew Luke’s girlfriend’s name was Kenna. He talks about you all the time, but I’ve never seen a picture. I felt sorry for you when you thought he didn’t have another girlfriend.” He swivels my direction.

“You felt sorry for me.” It’s not a question. I lean forward and brace my hands on his knees. “I think you felt something entirely different.” His eyes watch my mouth as I speak.

“Even if I did, it really doesn’t matter now, does it? Luke is one of my men. That makes you off-limits.”

“What if I don’t want to be off-limits?” I don’t know where my brazenness is coming from.

“You said you didn’t want to be that girl that cheats, so what do you want from me?”

I sit down on his lap. “I want you to take what you want from me.” Damn my voice is sexy.

His breath hitches. “You’re playing with the devil.”

“And I’m sitting on the devil’s lap, trying to tempt him.” I rock my hips back and forth.

“You are quite tempting.” His hand is rough, pulling my head to him when his mouth crashes down on mine. My body softens for him. I can feel the wetness already between my thighs. He stands with me and sets me on the edge of his desk. He yanks my skirt up and slides the thin lace of my panties aside. His fingers go inside me, and I arch back at the feel of him touching me.

“You’re fucking tight.” He takes his fingers out. “You’re a virgin, aren’t you?”

“Does that matter?” I’m breathless.

“Damn it.” His fist pounds on the desk, momentarily startling me. “I won’t fuck you on the desk for your first time.” His hand is grazing over his short hair.

“What does it matter where my first time is?” I’ve found my voice.

“How the hell is a woman like you still a virgin? Better question, what is fucking wrong with Luke? You had condoms in your carry-on for god sake!”

I hop off the desk and straighten my skirt. “I’m sorry that me being a virgin has you all pissed off!” I go to leave, and he yanks me back by the arm. We have a stare off.

He literally growls. “Come with me,” he orders.

I follow his quick steps down the flight of stairs. He peers outside before he steps out. He holds my hand and keeps me tight to him. We walk over to a row of houses, stopping at one with a small wooden porch on the outside. He digs his keys out of his pocket and unlocks the door. We move through the house so quickly that I don’t have time to take any of it in. He doesn’t stop until we are standing in front of a king-size bed. He snatches open a drawer and holds up a foil packet.

“Is this what you really want?” His chest is heaving.

I bite my lip and nod once. His hands are all over me, quickly removing my clothes before I can change my mind. When I’m bare in front of him, he slowly unzips his pants, taking them off along with his boxers. My eyes travel downward to his thick, big, beautiful cock. My hand reaches toward him, but he stops me. “I want to touch you.”

“This is my show, baby.” He rips the foil packet open and rolls it down his length. My mouth is watering watching him. He moves toward me like a tiger on a prowl. The back of his hand caresses my stomach before he moves upward, stopping at my nipple. “These are perfect.” He gets down on his knees and draws my nipple into his mouth. It feels exquisite. I let my head fall back, enjoying the feeling of his mouth sucking me in and his teeth skimming the very tip of my nipple. His other hand is pushing my legs apart while his lips travel downward to my warm folds.

I gasp and place my hand on the back of his head. No man has ever done this to me. My body feels like it’s on fire, broiling on the inside. I can’t hold back the sexy groan from my lips. His hands roughly go to my ass. I will have handprints for sure. His tongue goes deeper inside until he hits a spot that makes my insides tighten. I feel nothing but pure pleasure rolling over me in waves. They are six feet high and engulfing me. I feel every push and pull of the tide inside me.

When they finally stop, he tilts his head upward, and his lips glisten from me on him. He stands and walks me backward until my knees hit the bed.

“I’m going to be easy on you since it’s your first time.” He nips at the spot behind my ear that’s fueling me again.

He lays me down, covering me with his rock-hard body. “I want to explore you with my hands,” I tell him between kisses.

“Not this time. This time is all about you.” He hikes my leg out and leans up. He strokes himself a few times and then places his tip at my entrance.

“How is all of that going to fit inside me?” My eyes are wide, and I’m suddenly a little scared.

“Inch by inch.” Ever so slowly, he slides inside me. There is a brief second of pain. I gasp, and he quits moving. “Are you still with me?” His voice is strained.

I nod.

“You are so damn tight. I’m not going to last long.”

I run my hands down his bare back until I’m grasping his ass, raising my hips, egging him on.

He groans and thrusts deeper inside me. It feels so amazing; I can’t believe I’ve waited this long. He pulls out and slowly pushes in again. Slow, controlled movements.

He stops and looks at me. “Can you handle more?”

“Yes,” I hiss out.

His hips start to move, faster and harder until I’m blind with pleasure. I throb around his cock, pulling him in harder. He lets out a roar, and I feel him let go inside me, taking me with him.

“That was so amazing,” I say between pants for air.

He leans up on his arms. We are nose to nose. “That was nothing. I’m not finished with you yet.” His mouth covers mine.

“Hey, Captain Parker. You’re needed out on the field!”

The voice yelling over the knock is Luke’s. Decklan’s hand covers my mouth before I can say a word or move.

“Give me five minutes, and I will be there!”

I hold my breath under his hand until I hear him walk away. As soon as he takes his hand off, I’m up and on my feet, gathering my clothes from the floor. “That was too close.”

He stands and removes the condom, throwing it in the trash by his bed. As I’m zipping up the back of my skirt, his arms circle around me, trapping my arms behind me. “Looks like you have some decisions to make. I won’t keep doing this behind his back.”

“I need some time to figure this all out.”

He drops his hands to his side. “After what we just did, you have doubts?” The smile that was on his face is gone. He bends down, picking up his clothes and putting them on. He looks up at me while he buckles his green army belt. “You need to decide if you want a boy or a man.” He walks toward the door. “I suggest you don’t let anyone see you leaving here.” He shuts the door behind him.
