Chapter 11
The kiss reached inside and shook her to her soul. She didnât want to let him go. Something about those warm lips coaxing a response from hers had her wrapping her arms around his neck and holding him tight. She hadnât expected this to happen, but, of course, she should have. She had been watching him for some time. When she had seen his door open just the other day, although it was the neighborly thing to do, she had to admit to wondering if he was home and if it would be a chance to see him again.
She had met him in passing several times, but that had been it. His looks had always attracted her, but she and Taylor hadnât really had a chance to connect before, beyond smiles in the hallway, but this was different. His arms came around her back, and he hugged her tight. And she let him. God, she couldnât get enough of him. As if everything that had been going so wrong in her life had suddenly reasserted itself to being right. Nothing felt as good or as correct in this moment as being in his arms and kissing him as she was.
When he finally pulled back, she laid her head against his chest and said simply, âWow.â
She could hear the rumble under her ear as his laughter rolled up his chest and out through his mouth. She looked up at him and grinned. âHonestly, I didnât expect that to happen. At least, not like that.â
âWell, you should have,â he said comfortably, showing no signs of letting her go. He held her gently in his arms, and, of course, she nestled herself right up against him.
âSomething is so very solid and dependable about you.â
âOuch. Here you go with more insults,â he murmured. âYou could say a lot of other things too, you know?â
She chuckled. âI could,â she said. âBut it might go to your head then. I like you the way you are.â
At her words, he opened his eyes wider and said, âOf course. I live to serve.â
She snorted. âMaybe because youâre in the navy and maybe because thatâs what you do. Particularly being one of those big badass SEALs.â
âMany of us are, here on base.â
âSure,â she said. âAlso newspapers of all kinds are online as well. I keep up with everything thatâs going on around here.â
âYeah?â he said, looking skeptical.
âOf course I do also work at staff records, so I may have looked you up.â
He stopped and stared.
She shrugged. âHey, you are interesting.â
âJust what is in my file?â
âNothing much,â she said. âLike a very detailed résumé.â
âOkay, well, thatâs a little unnerving. Have you ever checked out your file?â he asked.
She shook her head. âGod, no. That would be the most boring thing ever. Nothing interesting is there. At least not until recently.â
âBut, if somebody wanted to, they could go online, get into your file and fix it so something unpleasant was in it, correct?â
She gave him a hard frown. âBut why
