She frowned and traced the dark circles under his eyes. “No, you’re not.”

  He could feel her breasts pressing against his chest and he groaned inwardly before trying to untangle himself from her. “I should go.”

  “No!” She wrapped around him like a vine. “Don’t leave me, Will.”

  “Hannah, if I stay I won’t be able to not touch you, to not try and – “

  She kissed him, her mouth warm and sweet on his lips, and he groaned and yanked her hard against him.

  They kissed hungrily, their tongues flicking and darting together, and when Hannah sucked hard on his tongue, Will was helpless to stop his hips from thrusting against her. He slid his hands under the long t-shirt she was wearing and cupped her naked breasts. She moaned into his mouth when he tugged lightly on her nipples. They hardened immediately and he gave his own harsh groan when she kissed her way down his neck, licking and nipping his rough skin.

  “Will.” She moaned before kissing the spot where his neck became his shoulder.

  He jerked against her and with a sudden tug, pulled her shirt over her head. He stared at her breasts, his eyes had already turned a brilliant yellow, and Hannah shuddered with pleasure when he captured one taut nipple between his teeth. He pulled gently on it before closing his lips around it and sucking hard.

  She threaded her fingers through his hair and clutched his head closer to her as he switched to her other nipple and suckled it. She could feel his hard cock against her and she rubbed herself eagerly against him.

  Quickly, before he could protest, she pushed her panties down her legs, kicking them from her feet, and lying on her back. She pulled on his arms, urging him between her legs and he complied eagerly. He stared down at her, his eyes glowing softly as he cupped her breast again and rubbed his thumb over her nipple.

  “I’ve missed you.” He whispered.

  She gave him a slow smile. “I’ve missed you too.”

  For a moment it was so much like his dream that he was afraid he was going to wake up. He hesitated, and she reached between them and took his cock in her hand. He groaned loudly and she covered his mouth with her other hand.

  “Shh.” She grinned at him. “You’ll wake my parents.” She squeezed his cock and he moaned again, his hips jerking against her.

  “You’re going to make me come if you keep doing that.” He whispered through gritted teeth.

  She giggled softly. “You have missed me.”

  He slipped his hand between their bodies and found her swollen clit. She gave her own loud cry when he rubbed it firmly.

  “Shh... quiet, remember?” He nipped her neck as he rubbed her clit with slow circles of his finger.

  “Please, Will...” She stroked his cock with her long fingers and he let his breath out in a drawn-out hiss of pleasure.

  Your father will be coming in here with a shotgun any minute now.” He whispered against her mouth.

  Her giggle turned into a low moan when he slipped one thick finger into her.

  “Will, I need you. Please don’t make me wait.” She sucked on his lower lip and guided his cock to her warm core. As his hand moved to grip her hip, he slid into her warmth and wetness in one easy stroke. They both moaned and as she wrapped her smooth thighs around his hips, she kissed him deeply.

  “It feels so good, my love.” She whispered into his mouth.

  He clenched his jaw and stared grimly at the wall as he began to move within her. It had been months since he had been with her, and the feel of her warm core sucking eagerly at his cock was bringing him close to orgasm.

  She teased his throat and chest with soft nips and licks as he began a slow rhythm within her. She responded eagerly, lifting her hips to meet each of his thrusts as warmth began to radiate through her belly and pelvis. Within minutes he was plunging in and out of her with long, hard thrusts, and she whimpered and moaned softly as the ache in her pelvis grew stronger.

  “Oh Will...” She cried out softly before her back arched and she stiffened against him. Will groaned into her throat as her muscles clamped down around him and she shook violently as she came. He buried his face into the curve of her neck and with a muffled shout, thrust into her once more as his orgasm ripped through him. He shivered against her as she rubbed his back and panted harshly beneath him.

  Hannah kissed his shoulder, it was damp and slick with sweat, and she inhaled deeply before letting him slide off her body. God, she had missed him. As he spooned her, his large body taking up most of the small bed, she lifted his hand to her mouth and kissed the palm of it gently.

  “That was incredible.” She murmured.

  He kissed the back of her neck. “For me too.” He paused. “Maybe we should talk about – “

  She shook her head. “No, not tonight okay? I know this was a mistake and I know you’re already having regrets, but just for tonight could we forget all of that? Please? I’m not expecting anything from you in the morning, alright?”

  He nodded against her back and she sighed with relief. She was warm and relaxed and for the first time in weeks, she felt whole again. Tomorrow she and Will would go their separate ways again, but for tonight he was hers and she was going to cherish every moment of it. She was sleepy but she fought against it fiercely. She wasn’t going to waste any of this night with Will by sleeping. She let her body melt into his, keeping her eyes closed and feeling the strong beat of his heart against her back.

  Will kissed the back of Hannah’s shoulder. He should have been tired after his orgasm but he wasn’t. Already he wanted her again. After months of not touching her smooth skin or kissing her soft lips, he was aching to take her again. She had already slipped into sleep; her body was warm and limp against his and her breathing slow and even. He would let her sleep for a few hours and then wake her. She had hinted that tomorrow they would go their separate ways again and if this was his only night with her, he would not waste it by sleeping.

  He cupped her breast and kissed the back of her neck. She didn’t stir, and he stared into the darkness and finally spoke the words he had only said to her in his dreams.

  “I love you.”

  He was so certain she was asleep that when her soft voice drifted out of the darkness, for a moment he believed she was talking in her sleep.

  “I love you too.”

  He froze as she turned in his arms and stared up at him.

  “I thought you were sleeping.” He whispered.

  She smiled a little. “Nope.” She tugged his head down and kissed him firmly.

  “I’m sorry.” He said hoarsely when she released him. “I shouldn’t have – “

  “Don’t you dare say you shouldn’t have said that.” She frowned at him.

  “It won’t work out for us, Hannah. You know that.”

  “I know that you love me and I love you.” She said calmly. “That’s all that matters.”

  She kissed him again, her tongue probing at his lips and he groaned and opened his mouth. She swept her tongue inside, licking and tracing his tongue until he was moving restlessly against her.

  “Make love to me, Will.” She whispered. “I need you. I love you.”

  He gathered her soft body against his and as he began to caress her warm skin, he whispered again, “I love you.”

  Chapter 13

  Will ducked his head and let the hot spray of the shower run down his back. He had slipped out of Hannah’s room in the early morning light. She had been sleeping and although he felt like a coward for leaving her like that, he didn’t want the others catching him with her.

  She had overridden his concerns last night, simply repeating that she loved him each time he tried to remind her that they couldn’t be together. He had given up, a secret part of him wanting to shout with happiness every time she said the words, “I love you”.

  He sighed deeply. He wanted a fairy tale ending for them more than anything, but he was well aware of the difficulties they would face in trying to have a relationship. It was better to –

  He looked up, blinking the water out of his eyes, as the shower curtain slid back and Hannah stepped into the shower.

  She hugged him, pressing her naked body against his wet back. “Good morning, Will.”

  “Hannah…” He cleared his throat, trying desperately to ignore the way her nipples were like hard little pearls against his back. “What are you doing in here?”

  She raised her eyebrow at him. “I would have thought that was obvious. I’m showering.”

  She slapped him lightly on the ass and ducked around him, claiming the hot spray of water for herself. She had pulled her long dark hair into a messy bun on top of her head and he watched as droplets of water clung to the dark strands that had loosened and curled around her neck. Once she was as wet as him, she handed him the soap and turned around.

  “Wash my back for me would you please?”

  “Hannah, I don’t think this is a good idea.” He muttered.

  She pressed back against him, rubbing her wet ass against his erection. “Really? It feels like there’s a part of you that thinks it’s a good idea.”

  He groaned and rubbed the soap in his hands before handing it to her. “Hold this.”

  She giggled. “Yes, sir.”

  He washed her back roughly, trying to keep it from being sexual, but once he was done washing her lower back she moved his hands to her ass.

  She looked over her shoulder and winked at him. “Do you mind washing my ass, Will? I’d really appreciate it.”

  He stifled a groan and began to rub the firm flesh. She moaned and arched her back, pushing her ass against his erection and with a muttered curse he pulled her back against him, reaching around to cup her breasts.

  “Going to wash my front too?” She laughed. “How nice of you.”

  He growled in reply, dipping his head to lick the water from her neck as she reached up and clutched the back of his neck. He stared greedily over her shoulder, watching her nipples harden as he tugged on them.

  He massaged the soap into her skin, rubbing and circling her breasts until she was moaning, before moving down her flat stomach. When his hands dipped lower, she parted her legs, leaning back against him and making small noises of encouragement.

  He ran his hands over the tops of her thighs, tracing small circles until she snorted impatiently and grabbed his hand. She pushed it between her legs, gasping loudly when he immediately began to rub her clit.

  She turned her head and they kissed, their tongues tangling together as he teased and stroked the small pink nub until it was hard and swollen and she was rocking her hips against his hand. She cried out into his mouth when her orgasm rushed through her. He wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her steady, as she trembled against him. He moved her body directly under the warm spray, rinsing her clean before he pushed her up against the wet tile of the shower wall.

  He lifted her up, his large hands gripping the back of her thighs as she wrapped her legs around him. He entered her in one smooth stroke, the water spraying down his shoulder and side, as she clung to him and whimpered softly.

  He pushed in and out of her, their wet bodies slapping together, and the sound echoing in the small shower. She kissed him hard, her breath coming in short gasps as he rocked harder against her.

  “I love you, Will.”

  “I love you too, honey.” He whispered. He groaned as she squeezed her muscles around him.

  “Does that feel good?” She murmured as he slowed the pace, pinning her against the wall and moving within her with slow, deep thrusts.

  Before he could answer there was a knock at the bathroom door. He froze against her, staring at her with wide eyes as her mother called through the door.

  “Hannah, are you going to be much longer? Breakfast is almost ready.”

  “Be out in a few minutes, mom.” Hannah grinned at him and squeezed her muscles once more around his cock. He sucked in his breath, giving her a frantic look as he tried to keep from moaning.

  “Stop that!” He mouthed at her.

  “Okay, dear. Do you want bacon or sausages with your eggs?” Her mother asked.

  Giving him another wicked grin, Hannah reached between them and pinched his flat nipple; this time he was helpless to stop both the quiet groan and the jerking of his hips against her pelvis. “Bacon would be great, mom.”

  “Alright.” There was a pause and then Natalie, her voice tinged with amusement, said, “Will? What about you, dear? Do you want bacon or sausages?”

  Hannah could barely keep the laughter in as Will’s face turned a bright red. He buried his face in her neck as Hannah giggled and snorted. “He’ll have bacon as well thank you.”

  “Alright. Hurry up and finish your shower or the food will get cold.” Natalie said sweetly.

  “Oh my God.” Will groaned. “How did she know?”

  Hannah grinned. “I don’t know but you heard the woman – hurry up before our breakfast gets cold.”

  * * *

  “Why didn’t they attack last night?” Reid took a sip of lemonade and glanced at Chen.

  “I don’t know.” Chen watched as Selena stretched out on the grass of Hannah’s parent’s back yard. Reuben, his small tail wagging furiously, crept through the grass and licked Selena’s face. She giggled and petted his small head roughly before he ran back to Jim who was stretched out in a hammock in the shade.

  Jeremy, leaning against the fence and staring silently into the woods, glanced back at the sound of Selena’s laughter. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a package of matches from his pocket and lit one, inhaling deeply.

  “They should have attacked us by now.” Reid said. “There’s no doubt they know Hannah is here.”

  He frowned and looked around. “Where is Hannah anyway?”

  “In the house, I believe.” Chen replied mildly. He had seen both Will and Hannah slipping into her room over an hour ago but he wasn’t going to tell Reid that. They were obviously trying to keep it hidden and he would be the last person to reveal their secret.

  The screen door opened and Will descended the deck stairs to join them at the small patio table. He sunk into the chair next to Chen.

  “Is Hannah in there?” Reid asked.

  Will nodded. “She’s talking with her mom.”

  “I was just telling Chen that they should have attacked us last night but didn’t. Don’t you find that strange?”

  Will shrugged. “Everything about this entire situation seems strange to me. Why are they so determined to go after Hannah? How did they get past five of our best men?”

  Chen sighed. “I do not believe they will stay away tonight.”

  Reid shook his head grimly. “Nor do I. We all need to be alert. Danny and Jeremy said it was quiet last night during their watch shift and Selena and Ryan said that other than a stray dog that wandered through the yard around three, there was nothing at all.”

  Will stared moodily across the yard. “I don’t like this, Chen. It feels like we’re in the trap, rather than setting it.”

  Chen nodded as Hannah and her mother joined them outside. Although Will was careful not to look at Hannah, Chen could see his body tensing as she drew closer.

  “What are you handsome boys talking so seriously about?” Natalie smiled at them and Reid stood up quickly.

  “Nothing of importance. Would you like my seat?”

  “Thank you dear, but I think I’ll join my husband in the hammock.” Natalie smiled and, humming softly, walked over and carefully climbed into the hammock next to Hannah’s dad.

  Hannah nodded to the three men. “I’ll be right back.”

  She crossed the yard and stood next to Jeremy. “Hey.”

  He glanced down at her. “Hey.”

  She looked at the cigarette in his hand. “I didn’t know you smoked.”

  He shrugged. “I smoked most of my teens. Quit when I joined the Marines.”

  “Why did you start again?”

  He laughed a little bitterly. “Considering the line of work I’m in, dying from lung cancer is the least of my concerns.”

  She gave him a troubled look and he shrugged again. “Don’t worry about it HB.”

  “Jeremy,” she touched his arm tentatively, “have you thought about talking with Alan again?”

  Jeremy shook his head. “I’m fine. I don’t need to speak with him again. Christ, we talked to him enough after the factory.”

  He took another drag from his cigarette and looked behind them, blowing the smoke out through his nose. “You’d better go back. Your boyfriend’s starting to look a little worried.”

  Hannah glanced behind her. Will was staring silently at them and he raised a questioning eyebrow at her. She gave him an almost imperceptible head nod.

  “He’s not my boyfriend.”

  He grinned. “Did you know that Ryan, Danny and I are bunking in your sister’s room?”

  Hannah blushed to the roots of her hair. Sara’s room was right next to hers and she tightened her grip on Jeremy’s arm.

  “Jeremy, you can’t say anything. Please.”

  He frowned. “You’re not a recruit anymore. You’re not going to get kicked out for it.”

  “I know but – well, it’s complicated okay?”

  He nodded. “Yeah.”

  She rubbed at her forehead. “I’ll have to speak to Ryan and Danny.”

  “Don’t bother. Ryan was on watch when there was uh – the most noise - and Danny is a heavy sleeper. Neither of them have a clue.”

  Jeremy tapped his ash on the ground before inhaling again. He blew the smoke out and as it drifted away in the breeze, said, “Do you love him, HB?”

  “Yeah, I do.”

  He nodded. “That’s good. He loves you too.”

  She smiled a little. “I know.”

  He surprised her then by planting a rough kiss on her forehead. “I’m sorry for the things I said to you, Hannah. I was just hurt and surprised.”

  “I’m sorry too.”

  He nodded pensively and stared into the woods again. “It’s going to happen tonight. You know that right?”

  “I do.” She confirmed.

  “Yeah.” He sighed and butted his cigarette before reaching for the pack again.
