Chapter Eleven

Lyla went into Admiral Gardner’s office and said, “Father, I need your help.”

Thom looked at his daughter, “What is it this time?”

“I need to see Sam. He won’t take my calls.”

“That boat has sailed, Lyla; you’re wasting your time. Write it off to being stupid and let it go.”

“Dad, one of the things I know better than anything else is that I can get any man I want. I may not be the finest upstanding citizen; but at that I have no equal. I just need some time with him alone.”

Thom stared at his beautiful daughter and knew that most men would find her impossible to resist. Lyla saw his expression and knew what he was thinking, “I know I messed up in walking away but I see that now. He’s too good for me but I want the opportunity to try again. Just give me a chance. He has to be meeting with you soon.”

“How would you know that?”

“He’s a warrior and you’re the planner. The two of you must get together at some point to make things happen.”

Thom sighed, “He’ll be here in three days to discuss plans for his unit.”

Lyla rushed up and hugged her father, “Thank you so much. I love you.” Lyla turned and ran out of the room to prepare what she was going to wear when Sam arrived. Thom watched her go and shook his head; I’d love to have Sam as a son-in-law. He knew Lyla was going to be difficult to turn down for anyone.

The meeting finally ended and Sam stood to leave. Suddenly, the door to Admiral Gardner’s office opened and Lyla walked in. Every male in the room was stunned by what they saw. Lyla was wearing a shimmering, royal blue body suit that fit her like a second skin. It accented the parts of Lyla’s body that didn’t need it. She said, “Duke Robbins, may I speak with you for just a moment.”

Sam stared at Lyla and was again impressed with her beauty. Lyla stepped out of the office and Sam hesitated but went out behind her. Lyla closed the door and Sam immediately saw her tears, “Why have you not taken my calls? You’re breaking my heart.” Lyla rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Sam’s chest and pulled herself tight against him.

Sam started to put his arms around her and then hesitated. Instead he grabbed her arms and slowly pushed her away. He looked into her teary eyes and said, “Lyla, I’ve seen who you are.”

“I’ve changed, Sam. I’ve not been able to get you out of my mind since we separated. I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart and I need you desperately.”

Sam smiled slightly and looked into her eyes, “Tears, anger, foot stomping, pleading, or anything else you want to try will not change who you are Lyla. The broken hearts you’ve left in your wake are too numerous to count. The disdain you’ve shown to those that mistakenly allowed you into their lives is only more evidence of who you really are.
