Chapter Five

‡

All throughout breakfast, Wiley had to fight the urge to grin like an idiot. Keeping his gaze from Poppy’s pink cheeks was hard enough.

When he did glance to his side, Poppy ducked her head. “Don’t look at me,” she said, wrinkling her nose. “Everyone will know what we did.”

Not everyone. But the folks who’d kept an eye on her suite door throughout the night would certainly have noted he never left. Not that he cared whether the whole world knew. Today, he was feeling pretty mellow. Happy, even. Last night had been the best sex he’d had in his life. And it was all because of her. Poppy was a mass of contradictions. Every facet of her body and her mind fascinated him. Modest. Bold. Eager. Curious. Some of the things she’d shyly asked for him to do in the dark kept him aroused just remembering, even now.

That she’d let him hold her hand as they’d made their way to breakfast had filled him with a deep satisfaction.

Joe and his buddies met them in a dining room that served a buffet breakfast. Morty was the last to join them, and his tray was piled so high, Wiley had to shake his head. “Where do you intend to put that?” he asked, eyeing Morty’s skinny frame.

“He’s always been a chow hound,” Joe said with disgust, eyeing his omelet and single slice of buttered toast. “Used to have to share my C-rats because one box of rations didn’t fill him up.”

Morty grunted and dug into his food.

Wiley caught a hand waving from near the entrance of the cafeteria. When he had Wiley’s attention, Mike Espinoza tilted his chin toward the hallway outside.

Wiley gave Joe a glance. The old man hadn’t missed the signal. He nodded, sitting a little straighter in his chair. He’d keep an eye on Poppy while Wiley slipped away.

“Have to see a man…” Wiley said to Poppy and kissed her cheek. “Stay put until I get back.”

She flashed him a smile and settled in to talk to the men surrounding her about their impressions of the cruise—what they liked, what they thought younger, rehabilitating soldiers might like…

Mike lowered his brows and gave Wiley a stern stare as he neared.

Wiley returned the look. “Not a word,” he grumbled, knowing the look had been about his unprofessional behavior the night before.

“I’m not judging. But you have to know word’s gonna get back to the general.”

Wiley didn’t like hearing that truth—not that he was afraid of the general’s reaction, but he didn’t want Poppy embarrassed. He hoped she’d never find out that her sex life would be part of some report. “So, what do you have for me?”

“All’s quiet. Your group is still finishing their thorough background checks on all the crew.”

Not something Wiley didn’t already know. Deke had mentioned that every crew member who was there—or would be on any subsequent cruises, including the one hosting the Soldiers’ Sanctuary—had to be vetted, in case someone who was vulnerable was pressed to leave a little package aboard the ship.
