She too, hears the attitude and snaps back. “Like I said, he’s family.”
“My apologies.” He doesn’t sound sorry, but Landy takes it all in stride, and her face softens.
“Accepted. So, where was I? Oh yeah, I’m ready to take off when a Yul Brenner clone jumps in the copilot’s seat and shoves a gun at me.”
Even though it’s her story, I feel I should add clarity. “His name is Vladislav Egonov. We think he’s connected to the scar-faced Russian my team exposed a couple months ago.”
At our G-man’s nod, her mouth drops open. “No shit? He’s part of the hacker investigations?”
“He is now.” I give her a thumbs up.
“Huh.” Shaking her head, she begins anew. “Ten hours later, flying on fumes, I land in a hidden runway in the jungle where I’m arrested. I was going to wait for a rescue but…”
Glancing over at me, she bites her lower lip. “They left me alone in a bedroom with Egonov.”
If that bastard touched her, I’ll cut off his tallywhacker, put it in a hot dog bun and watch him eat it.
She smirks, places her hand on my shoulder, and squeezes. “I flattened one of his balls before he was able to lay a finger on me.”
“That’s my girl.”No one messes with my woman.“Go on, sweetheart. Finish up.”
“There’s not much else to tell. I broke out of a Mexican jail, walked to the airport, and stole a cargo plane but Homeland Security wouldn’t let me land and sent me back over the border. It would’ve been nice if they’d bothered to check my social security number.”
“Do you know how many military people dabble in smuggling?” The general’s growl doesn’t faze her.
“I’m sorry. That sounds like a you-problem, sir. Are we done?” Unafraid, she glowers across the table.
“You made a mess, young lady.” Young stands and slaps his palms on the wood.
She does the same and leans forward. “No. I found a well-known Russian extortionist-hacker, connected to Cyber Vonya. You should be thanking me big time, including medals and parades. You do know, I’m a seasoned, highly-skilled US Marine pilot?”
Before she’s arrested, I stand and take her hand. “How about we call this a night?”
Young’s crimson complexion may lesson, but he’s still furious as he points an index finger in her direction. “You, little missy, will stay put for a couple of days in case we need to talk.”
“Yes. Sir.” The strong inflection on her last syllable sounds like an insult but she’s no longer military and can get away with it.
“Private Zhang? See them to their quarters.” Huffing under his breath about insubordination, the general leaves the room.
No longer under his scrutiny, my errant pilot thanks the assembled team and hugs each one. All done, the enlisted man leads us across the grounds to a small cabin and points out an attached outside stall. “The shower’s in there, ma’am.”
“Thank God.” The moan she makes zings to my groin and creates a gut-wrenching desire to make love.
After saying goodnight to the men, I lose my clothes, and step under the water where primordial urges override the modern brain. She should sleep, eat, and relax, but not until I place my seed deep inside her. Heart thumping, I try to control my inner-caveman who needs to fuck away his feelings of powerlessness. I almost lost her. The endless loop of words echoes in my head as I snatch the tiny bar of soap from her hand. My hard length crushed against her butt cheeks, I lather her belly. She moans and grabs the back of my head while I cup her breasts.
The nipples harden as I massage her soft flesh and more so when I nibble her sensitive earlobe. “I love you.”
With my sweet, brave warrior arching for more, I slip a finger to the slick curls between her legs, gliding it back and forth over her nub. Breathing hard, I bend my knees, hold her left hip, and bring her higher.
“Mother of God, I need you.” Part prayer, part confession, part apology, I put my tip at her core and piston inside her.
“Holy… Oh yesss.” Her permission granted, I plunge repeatedly, craving release.
She needs to understand she’s a piece of my soul and should I lose her, I’d never recover. There’re no words to describe the depth of my emotion. Instead, I’ll show her.
I grind inside her while my index finger works her magic button. At one point she tries to take control, but I grip her waist and force her to slow down. Here and now, in this shower, I am the boss.
“I love you, too.” The words exit her lungs on a shivering exhale and the sound drives me bonkers.
