been difficult to decide if he wanted to reach for her again that third time in a row or wake her early again, before he left, he’d gone with the first choice. He didn’t regret it either. He’d made unhurried, passionate love to her before pulling her into his embrace and falling asleep.
                  Still, he wished he did have another condom. He’d love to take her again before he walked out the door. But three times should get him through the next six months, until he saw her again—and he did plan to. He’d decided that after the first time he’d been intimate with Willow. No way could he just accept one night with her then walk away. There was a lot of chemistry between them and for once he wanted to explore it.
                  Now he just had to see if it was something she wanted.
                  Brushing his lips against her temple, he called her name.
                  “Willow, I have to leave now. I need to run by my place, shower, change and then report.”
                  “Hmm,” she murmured, around a stretch. “Is it time already?”
                  “Unfortunately,” he stated, as he pressed a quick kiss against her lips and moved away. It was too tempting to stay next to her while naked. Willow wasn’t a small woman, nor could she be categorized as voluptuous. She was one of those women, who had curves in all the right places.
                    He slipped out of bed and went in search of his clothes, to give himself some breathing room. Time was of the essence this morning. Just as he finished buttoning up his pants, Willow entered the kitchen wearing a robe. She still looked half asleep and absolutely gorgeous.
                  He pulled his shirt on and began to button it up, smiling as she hid a yawn behind her hand. Once he was completely dressed, he approached her. Happiness surged through him when she accepted his embrace as he wrapped his arms around her.
                  “I have something to ask you, Willow.”
                  She leaned back and peered up at him. “What is it?”
                  “What would you say if I told you that I want to stay in contact while I’m over in Afghanistan?”
                  Surprise appeared on her face. “Really?”
                  “Yes. Last night was indescribable. I want to see how this goes. I know six months apart will be a true test for two people who’ve just met, but there is something about you that leaves me incapable of walking away without seeing you again.”
                  “So it wouldn’t frighten you if I said I feel the same?”
                  “Not at all.”
                  “So how do we do this?” she asked.
                  “One day at a time. First, I’ll leave you with my cell phone number and my email address.”
                  She frowned. “You’ll have access to a phone?”
                  “Yes. Because of my rank, I’m allowed a few extra liberties. Some I’ve never wanted to take advantage of until now.”
                  “Which is?”
                  “Major,” he retorted.
                  Her eyes widened slightly as recognition of his title dawned upon her. “So, I’ll be able to talk to you?”
                  He chuckled at the fact that she didn’t mention his rank. She was definitely a good choice. “On occasion, but the best method of contact is going to be to text me.”
                  He watched as some of the tension seeped from her. She appeared willing to try what he’d suggested.
                  “Let me get a pen and some paper. We can exchange contact info and go from there.”
                  He reached for one of the abandoned bottles of water that had been
