turned and took her in his harms, pressing her back against the pillows. Very gently, he smoothed the lines on her forehead and stroked the soft skin of her cheeks.
    “ Cara, I don’t know what kind of history you have that makes you feel this way. If someone hurt you badly, I’d like to punch holes in him. But I can promise you I’ll never be anything but honest with you. Never knowingly do anything to hurt you.”
    “But…” She caught her lower lip between her teeth. “But with the military, you can’t really promise that, can you? And besides, people like you look for a very special kind of woman.”
    Okay, worse yet. The asshole was in the military.
    “Being a SEAL doesn’t mean I have to lie to people, it just means there are things I can’t tell anyone except my teammates.” He brushed his lips against hers, stroking the lower lip she’d bitten with his tongue. “The thing is, I’m not used to dealing with emotions. I packed mine away when I became a SEAL. You’re the first woman I’ve been with who could make me think about dragging them out again. I’m not asking for any kind of guarantee here. Just a chance to see where it goes. Can we try that?”
    He held his breath, waiting for her answer. She stared into his eyes, as if searching for the answers there. Finally, she gave a slight nod. “But let’s just take it slow. See where and how it goes.”
    “All right, but my leave could end any minute, so I can’t take it too slow.” His hand drifted down between her thighs.
    She burst out laughing. “Did anyone ever tell you you’re a sex maniac?”
    He grinned and the tightness in her chest eased. “I’ve been accused of that before.”
    Still smiling, she removed his hand. “I don’t know about you, but I’m starving. We missed dinner tonight, remember?”
    He brushed her hair back from her face. “I wasn’t exactly thinking about food.”
    “Me, either. But let’s stoke our engines before we pass out. You promised me my turn, remember?”
    The thought of her slim fingers wrapped around his cock, her tongue stroking the head, made him instantly hard again. Yeah, he’d definitely need some food. “Yes, I did. Good suggestion.”
    “Sandwiches okay? I don’t shop until tomorrow.”
    He eyed her with hunger. “Maybe I could just eat you.”
    She laughed again, that magical sound that turned him on.
    “That’s a great idea, but I don’t think it’s very life-sustaining.”
    “Depends on how you look at it.”
    She swung her legs off the bed. “Let’s start with the sandwiches.”
    He was glad she felt comfortable enough with him not to pull on a robe or any other type of cover up. He loved the line of her naked body and the gentle sway of her ass as she walked out of the room. He’d certainly seen more than his share of naked women, so why was this one so different? What was it about her that made him feel things he hadn’t expected?
    He remembered a friend of his, a lady-killer of long standing who’d recently gotten married, telling him, “When it happens, amigo, you’ll feel like a ton of bricks fell on you. You won’t see it coming and you won’t even be able to get out of the way.”
    Could this be happening already in just a few short hours? What about his life as a SEAL? Others in that special force had married successfully, but there were some who’d fallen by the wayside. And still more like him who chose not to make that commitment until they finally retired. Whenever that was.
    He wondered what the other members of Team Arapahoe would say. Of course, Zeus had his thing going with Kim, and that would definitely be on track after this weekend and her surprise visit. Jagger was spending his time with a childhood friend and who knew where that would go. Dagger had suddenly seen the sister of Brice Benson, their erstwhile host, in a whole new light. Ghost and Ice were spending their time with women they had long-standing but fragmented relationships with.
    Even
