Operation: Tempt Me (18 page)

“And what if
you could no longer be in the military, then what would you do?” she asked,
pushing her plate to the end of the table and sipping on her drink.

He had to
dismiss thoughts of her mouth wrapping around his cock or it’d be impossible to
form words. “I have enough experience to fall back on any number of jobs. But I
haven’t really thought about it since I plan to be a lifer, well, or until they
throw my sorry ass out.” He laughed, hoping the casual response would ease the
seriousness of the question.

She leaned
over the table and whispered. “I admire your choice of career, Miller. No
matter what happens between us, I’d never ask you to give that up. Just thought
you needed to know that up front.”

His heart
melted, the odd feeling leaving him woozy. He didn’t like woozy. Then he was
vulnerable. “Thank you, Cambrie. And no matter what happens, I’d never string
you along. I promise to always be up front.”

Her slender
shoulders offered a shrug. “We all have to make hard decisions sometimes in
life, like when I chose to give up my career to take care of the only family
member I had left just like she had done for me. Was it heartbreaking to do so?
Yes. Do I regret doing it? No. But I had to be the one to make that choice. If
someone else forced me to make it, then I’d be bitter and resentful of that
person and my situation. I’d never want to force someone to do something they
couldn’t just like I wouldn’t want them to force me to do something that I just
couldn’t.”

“Like move
away from Maddyville?” The question hung in the air between them like a
sledgehammer, no matter the answer it was bound to shatter one of their hopes.

“Exactly.”
Her tone filled with a cloaked sadness, still trying hard to hide the emotions
swirling in the brown depths staring back at him. “So as long as we both know
where we stand, then neither of us will have unrealistic expectations.”

He was ready
to answer her, hell he wanted to argue with her. There was no reason to worry
about a future that they both hadn’t a clue about yet. The obvious connection
between them, both physically and mentally, was worth at least trying to figure
out how to make a relationship between them work. And he would’ve argued had
the shrilling tone of his cell phone not interrupted them.

One glance at
Cambrie and Miller noticed her expression freeze, her face go pale, and her
eyes widen before she slowly lowered her gaze to the phone he removed from his
front pocket.

Fuck! Not
now. Not when they had just gotten some time together.

“Daly,” he
answered, not caring if his tone was harsh.

“It’s
Wallace.”

“Yes, sir.”
Miller kept his gaze on Cambrie but she wouldn’t look at him, just stared out
the window.

“Listen, I’m
afraid I’m going to have to cut short your R&R, Miller. Need you back in
three days. We’re going after some new intelligence. Wanted to deploy tonight,
but ran into a few snags. You’re just going to have to stop playing house and
tell the pretty lady you’ll send her a postcard.”

“Understood,
and believe me, asshole, I’m going to kick your fucking ass for that last
remark.” Chance may be his team leader, but that didn’t mean Miller had to take
shit from his best friend.

“Bring it on,
buddy,” Chance said, his laughing tone contagious as Miller cracked a grin.
“See you when you get your ass back to work.”

The call
disconnected and Miller replaced the phone in the front pocket of his pants.
Cambrie faced him.

“Do you have
to leave now?” Her nerves reverberated across the table.

“No. Just had
my vacation shortened by a few days. I’ve got three left before I need to
report back.”

Her shoulders
loosened and her expression relaxed. “Would you like to take a short ride,
Miller? It’s such a lovely day and I would love to spend it walking in the
woods with you. There’s some great fall foliage coming out.”

The waitress
cleared their dishes and left the check.

“Don’t even
think about it, Cambrie, or I’ll spank you and won’t give a shit who’s around
to watch,” Miller stated when she reached for the check.

She gasped.
“You wouldn’t dare.”

He cocked an
eyebrow and stared. “Care to find out?”

The wicked
smile that creased her unpainted lips challenged him. “I know the perfect place
I want to take you. We’ll have all the privacy I’ll need.”

Throwing a
few bills on the table, Miller stood and Cambrie followed. “And what will you
need privacy for, darling?”

When she
stood on her toes to whisper in his ear, he never expected to hear, “I can’t
wait to take your magnificent cock deep into my throat and taste your cum on my
tongue.”

He growled,
unable to control the sound escaping his throat. When the little witch turned
and walked from the restaurant, sashaying that tight little ass in front of
him, Miller’s thoughts were consumed with visions of her sucking his cock and
then him fucking her ass. God, she was slowly killing him.

Walking with
a hard-on proved torturous. Once inside the car, he adjusted his cock the best
he could before taking her hand and placing it over the bulge in his pants.
“See what you started?” he complained. “How fucking long until we get to the
forest?”

She roared
the engine to life, laughing. “About half an hour. You’ll survive.”

“Barely.” He
rested his head back on the headrest, wishing there was room to stroke his
cock.

“Don’t lie
back, Miller, or you’ll miss the foliage.”

He stared at
her, incredulous. “Honey, if you think I’m interested in the color of a few
friggin’ leaves after the image you just planted in my mind, then I think
you’re stoned.”

Her giggle
only made him want to feel the warmth of her mouth on his dick more.

“Christ, just
drive, Cambrie. Get us there.”

Miller
followed Cambrie into the woods after she put on a sweatshirt, each step
torment for his hard cock.

“I used to
hike up here for the exercise and the peacefulness of the forest. But I don’t
have time lately to do much of anything, so this is a special treat for me
today,” Cambrie said, striding along a path abutted by thick brush and tall
trees.

A special
treat for her? Hell, once those lips circled his cock, he’d be the lucky one.
She had at least been correct about privacy. Much to his relief, there were no
other cars in the parking lot when they had pulled in. If he didn’t get that
blowjob she promised, he expected to collapse from the torture of waiting.

“This is one
of many fantasies, Cam, that you’re about to help come true,” he said, enjoying
her energy as they trekked forward and deeper into the solitude of the woods.

“What is?”
she asked, flinging a quick glance back over her shoulder.

“Public sex.
Always wondered how intense it’d be.”

She stopped
in front of a massive boulder. “You’re about to find out. We’ve reached our
destination, Lt. Daly. Welcome to Boulder Ridge, a local hangout.”

He glanced
around. They stood in a small clearing where fallen tree stumps formed a circle
near a makeshift fire pit. The fall air was crisp and clean. Inhaling, he
wanted to steady his pounding heart to prevent coming the second her mouth
touched his dick.

When her slim
hand moved over the front of his jeans and her smile flashed with mischief, he
thought again. Now he’d have to worry about coming with just her touch.

Arching his
head back, he drew on his intense military training to control his emotions,
but the task seemed impossible as Cambrie maneuvered her hand inside his pants
once she unzipped them.

Looking down,
he saw heaven. Cambrie knelt before him, gripping the length of his cock,
licking her lips.

“I’ve wanted
to taste you on my tongue forever, Miller,” she purred, stroking his cock with
a grip that had him grinding his teeth against the pure pleasure shooting
through his body.

“Nothing
stopping you now, baby. Oh, God, if you make me beg, I’m going to light your
ass on fire for it,” he blurted out, making fists to control his edginess.

After a quick
peek around, Cambrie slipped her lips over the thick head of his cock. The
pleasure of that intimate touch shook Miller to the core. When he tightened his
body against the unbelievable urges filling him, his head banged off the
boulder. But even with the slight pain on his scalp, he wasn’t distracted by
how great her mouth felt around his dick.

She sucked
with little tugs, her tongue darting out to lick the sides and the head of his
cock, paying particular attention to the slit. When she removed her mouth, he
wanted to beg for mercy.

“Am I doing
it right? I’ve never done this before, Miller.”

Oh. Holy.
Fucking. Hell. Did he just hear her right? “Baby, you have no idea what it
means to me that my cock is the only one to enjoy the pleasures of your mouth.
Don’t change a thing you’re doing.” His words rushed out with his
breathlessness. “Suck my cock, Cambrie. Show me how that pretty mouth can drive
me wild.”

Her smile lit
up her face. Taking his rod back into her mouth, she kept a steady pace,
sucking the length of him in and out of the warmth of her mouth. Each time the
head of his cock brushed against the back of her throat, he cringed, not
wanting to come yet and end this thrill.

“Damn,
Cambrie.” It hurt to speak the words through gritted teeth.

She stopped
the sucking for a bit and licked her tongue up and down his erection. “What if
someone comes, Miller?”

“Fuck them!
Just don’t stop. Feels too damn good.”

“Mmmm. I
know.” She swallowed his cock again.

That was it.
She was a threat to national security if she could single-handedly take a
killing machine to his knees with just her hands and mouth. The jagged rock at
his back couldn’t deter him from the explosion rising.

He wanted to
rip his jacket off as his temperature rose, but there was no way to do it
without breaking connection with Cambrie. And no way in hell did he want that
to happen.

Every inch of
his body quivered, mesmerized by Cambrie’s sensual exploration. If she hadn’t
admitted never giving a blowjob before, he wouldn’t have believed it the way
her mouth worked magic over his cock—sucking, licking, slurping, sucking,
licking, slurping. Christ, it was too intense. His knees threatened to buckle
under the weight of his need.

His head
rolled side to side, his eyes stared up at treetops against a partly cloudy
sky. A noise to the right caught his attention, the sound of a breaking branch.
He’d kill whoever interrupted them. Looking toward the source of the noise,
relief consumed him when he noticed two squirrels jumping through the brush.

Glancing down
at Cambrie while she had his cock buried deep in her pretty mouth was the most
erotic sight he had ever seen. His hand fisted in her long hair, directing her
motions. The move only served to make her suck his dick harder, pushing at the
orgasm that lingered just over the horizon.

“Oh, Cambrie,
baby.” His few words exhausted him, his thoughts only for the woman on her
knees in front of him.

“Mmmm.” Her
enthusiastic response sealed the deal.

“Cam, pull
back. I’m…going…to come. Pull back…or swallow.”

With a grunt,
his body tightened, his hand let her hair go for fear of pulling it too hard.
Grasping at the boulder, he bucked, spilling his cum into her mouth. She hadn’t
pulled back, but surprised him as she swallowed his load, greedily sucking
until the last drop was cleaned from his cock.

Gasping for
breath and willing his legs to continue to hold him up, Miller found the
strength to lift his head from the rock and stare down at Cambrie. She sat
licking her lips, a satisfied look on her flushed face. Her eyes glanced
quickly around the woods before looking up at him.

He offered
his hand to help her stand. While she brushed leaves from her legs, Miller
shoved his cock back into his pants, amazed at how sensitive it was, how it
still hummed with the vibrations still swirling within him. Usually after a
blowjob, he went limp and forgot the pleasure within minutes. Cambrie’s had
stunned him with its intensity.

But even
after coming so hard, his dick still remained semi-hard. It would take only one
touch from Cambrie to be rock hard again. He adjusted his jeans for ultimate
comfort before pulling Cambrie into his arms. Wrapping her in an embrace
against his chest, he kissed the top of her head, staring into the peaceful
land surrounding them.

“There’s a
waterfall I want to show you,” Cambrie said, her words muffled against his
jacket. She pulled away and smiled up at him. “It’s a small one but still
beautiful. It’s a five minute walk and then we should head back before it gets
dark.”

“This place
is beautiful, Cambrie,” he said, holding her hand as she led the way back
through the forest. Birds flew from tree to tree, bushes rustled with the small
animals hiding within, and the soft breeze carried the scents of the
forest-dirt, pine, flowers. “But its beauty can’t compete with yours. I’m
having an amazing time, Cam. Just wanted you to know that.”
