love that she had lost, allowing her new life and new love to
slip from her mind. His mouth captured hers with great
demand, licking, sucking, and stroking her lips and tongue
until she was confused. His hands pressed down her back
onto her ass where he pressed her against him. His cock was
hard. He ground himself against her and he smiled when he
felt her press into him.
 Oh God, she sighed as she forced herself away.  It
isn t this simple. We can t do this.
 I can t make it without you. He reached for her
hand, pressing it against his hard cock.  Nobody can satisfy
me but you.
She wrapped her hand around him, her fingernails
scraped against the dark blue denim. She moaned. She could
feel him, see him and taste him. Her mind was riddled with
flashbacks of sultry nights of hot sex and lust. Her crotch
throbbed.
 We ll talk later. She pulled away.  I can t afford to
get fired.
She straightened her clothes and smiled as she
watched Dex try to arrange his hard shaft inside his jeans.
She puckered her lips and blew slowly out through wet, hot
lips. Damn if he wasn t still as hot as ever.
As the hours clicked away, Dex was no closer to
accepting that Rachel couldn t be his. He needed her in his
life and he was willing to pay any price. He knew that she
still loved him; he could feel it in her touch. He could taste
her need for him on her lips and her body was saying
everything but no.
 So where is the Master Sergeant? he finally asked,
 I d like to meet him.
 He s on a mission. I m not sure if he ll be back tonight
or not. She answered then looked back toward him.  How
did you know he was a Master Sergeant?
 Does he know about me? Dex asked with a smug
smile that suggested the Master Sergeant didn t have a hope
in hell now that he was back in town.
Rachel nodded.  Yes, he knows because I told him.
But you didn t answer my question.
 The private investigator who found you, he supplied.
74
 Private investigator?
 Linden didn t tell you?
 How would he have known? Why in the crap did you
hire a private investigator?
A loud whistle echoed from the front door.
It was as if the winds had blown him in, as if the
arrival of Blake Linden was on a timer. Rachel spun toward
the door with a wide smile.  He s home!
Dex watched as she strode away and began pressing
the biggest of several men back out the door. As the men at
his table filled him in on the details of Rachel s not being
allowed to kiss her Master Sergeant in the bar, his mind
flooded with wild, restless thoughts. Kiss him? Like she just
kissed me? He shifted to battle the fact that he d gotten a
semi just thinking of having her in his arms again.

 Hello, sexy, Rachel said as she pressed her hand
against Blake s chest and pushed him back out the door.
 Welcome home.
 Damn, you re a sight for sore eyes. He smiled as he
pressed his back against the stone wall and placed his hands
on her hips pulling her close.
She freely gave in to his touch, teasing him with
promises of a wild night which left him to deal with the
throbbing of a rock hard cock. She traced her finger around
his neck and she felt his fingers as they tensed against her
skin. She looked up into his eyes and smiled,  I have
something to tell you. Nothing bad, but I m glad you came
home tonight.
 What s up?
 Remember the other Green Beret? she asked as she
traced her fingers along his neck.
 Yeah, what about him? He didn t like where this
conversation was heading.
 His name is Dex McKelvy and he s here, she said,
 He came to apologize to me.
The anger was visible in his eyes. He wasn t anyone s
fool. Since the invention of the telephone, there was no
need to travel across the country to apologize. In fact he d
done some pretty lousy things in his life and the only way
he d travel that far to apologize to a woman would be to get
75
back in her pants. He certainly didn t believe for a minute
that Dex McKelvy wanted to meet him with nothing in mind
but shaking hands with the man who now warmed Rachel s
bed. He knew when he was being sized up as a competitor,
and he smiled at the thought.
 Do you know anything about a private investigator?
Blake hesitated, because he never dreamed that she d
find out that he had hidden the truth from her. Damn Dex
McKelvy for swooping in like a vulture just waiting for him to
die.
 I took care of that. I didn t want you to worry.
Rachel felt like the walls were closing in on her. The
last thing she needed was to learn that Blake had kept
secrets too. She needed Blake like she needed water. He was
perfect in her eyes and she needed him to stay that way.
She looked toward Dex s table and he rose, began
walking toward her.
Blake studied the man who approached, and even in
the dim lights he could tell that he looked familiar.
Dex looked down at his dive resistant wrist watch and
then to Blake.  It looks like you ve had a hell of a day.
Blake smiled.  You guessed it man, just another day in
paradise.
Dex held forth his hand, and just for a second he
paused.  It s nice to meet you, I m Dex McKelvy.
Blake nodded and took the hand that was offered.
