ROMANCE: BAD BOY ROMANCE: Entrapment ( Alpha Bad Boy College Romance Book 1) (Contemporary New Adult Alpha Male Romance) (17 page)

“Um, don’t you think we should maybe stop?  I think everyone is watching us by now.”  She pulled away and whispered into his ear.

Trent knew she was right but he held onto for a few minutes longer.  “If I’m going to get in trouble for coming on this mission, I want to make it worth it.”  He said and stole another kiss from her.

“Senior Chief Jonas I think we need to have a quick talk.” He heard the voice of his Master Chief.  He knew the questions were about to begin.

“Look I know I should have told you sir before we went.  But I knew I could keep a clear head.”  Trent tried to explain.

“It doesn’t matter.  You know that you aren’t supposed to be on a mission where you’re too close.  All it takes is a lapse and a moment where you take your mind off of all involved.  Focusing on that one special person has gotten more than one man killed in the past.”  The Master Chief stated.

“I know sir.  Whatever, you need to do I accept my punishment.  I can’t fight it; I knew I was in the wrong.”  Trent stated.

The Master Chief looked at him.  “Well we may be able to go light on you.  But you know the higher ups may not see this the same way.” 

Trent knew the Master Chief was referring to the big boys back home in the office.  If and when they found out there might be hell to pay.  “I’m ready sir.  Don’t protect me I’ll take the full heat.” 

He couldn’t ask the Master Chief to put himself on the line for something he had so knowingly disobeyed.

“Alright Senior Chief just be ready in case.” 

Trent walked away and headed back to where Kimberly was sitting. 

“Is everything okay?”  She asked.

“It should be, well maybe not.”  He turned and looked at her.

“Why?” 

“When you know someone who you are rescuing, you’re supposed to bow out of the mission.”  Trent told her.

“Well that’s dumb; what if it was the President you had to rescue.  Who would do it if you all know him?” 

“No not know of, but know.  I dated you I should have bowed out.  I put the whole team in danger.  The platoon could have been killed thanks to me.”

“Oh.  You didn’t tell anyone about me?  But that was 20 years ago, what difference would that make?  It would be different if you still loved me like.”  She stated.

“I do Kimberly.”  He said softly. 

She looked at him unsure if she had heard him correctly.  “How can you still love me?”  She asked.

“Maybe it’s the idea of what we used to have?  I don’t know but I was so worried about you.  I should have told them I couldn’t go on this mission.  But the thought of someone else saving you didn’t sit well with me.  What if they wouldn’t have got you out?  How could I ever live with myself?”  Trent told her.

“Trent I don’t know if it will work between us or not.  Really every time you had to go out I was so scared.  Some nights I wouldn’t sleep, especially on the longer missions.  I lost hair, I didn’t eat.  It hurt so badly.”  She tried to explain.

“I know how you felt.  I felt it when they said your name as one of the hostages.  When I thought about failing the mission it was devastating to me.  I thought my heart was going to burst from the ache.  I could barely breathe thinking of you, and whether or not I’d see you alive again.”  He told her.

She just stared at him.  Unsure what to say to the words she had just heard.  Instead she sat and let it soak in for a few minutes.  “It’s like I used to feel.  Yes exactly. “She nodded her head.             

“I’m willing to give it a shot.  But right now I’m not stationed near you.” 

“Well I think I may be able to get out of the military sooner than 2 years.  Maybe I’ll be forced out.  I’m not sure.  I did something they seriously frown upon.  So I could come to where you are?”  He stated.

“You really think you’ll be court-martialed?”  She asked.

“Either that or they will offer me early retirement with an honorable discharge.”  He stated.

“But you love the military, what will you do without it?” 

“I’ll take care of my wife.  Do anything with her that she wants.”  He said.

She sat there her mouth wide open.  “Did you just say your wife?”

Trent shrugged his shoulders.  “Of course I said wife.” 

“In all the years we were together you never once asked me to marry you.  Is this really the Trent Jonas I know?  Are you an alien?  What have you done with the man I used to know?”  She touched his head, turning it and looking into his ear.

“Stop already, you’re going to embarrass me.”  He pulled his head away from her prying hands.

“Oh there he is, welcome back Trent.”  She laughed.

“I’m serious Kimberly.  I don’t have a ring right now so I can ask you officially.  But will you marry me?”  He got down on his knee in front of her.

The other guys in the plane had turned around and were all watching the show.  “Get up your embarrassing yourself. “  She laughed.

“Answer me first.”  He said holding his ground.

“You don’t have a ring.  It won’t count as an engagement if there isn’t a ring.”  She said.

“Well shoot.  You know usually I bring that engagement ring with me on every mission.  But this time I think I left it at home.”  He stood up and put his hands in each of his pockets. 

Kimberly stood there and laughed.  “You’re crazy.”

“Hey guys.  I need something I can use as an engagement ring?  Anyone got anything that will work?”  Trent yelled out.

“Stop it Trent.”  Kimberly said to him softly.

“Nope the lady said she needs a ring to accept or not accept.  So I need to find a ring.”  Trent looked around at the guys.

Several of them shrugged their shoulders. 

“Hey I have this, will it work?”  Jake yelled out. 

“What is it?”  Trent hollered.

“It’s the ring off of my cigar.”  He held it up for Trent to see.

Trent looked back at Kimberly.  “Well, will it work?”  He asked her.

Kimberly turned red but shook her head yes. 

“Great she said it would work.  Let me see that Jake.” 

Trent went back to Kimberly and got back on his knees.  With the paper band from around Jakes’ cigar in hand he looked up at her.  “Kimberly Sanks will you please do me the honor of marrying me?”  Trent asked as he slipped the paper band over her finger.

She looked down at the band and laughed.  “Trent I can’t, not yet.  I’m sorry if you would have asked me 20 years ago I would have said yes without a doubt.  But I have to make sure I don’t have to go through the same feelings again.” 

Trent looked down.  “I know I’ll prove myself to you.  But next time I hope you will say yes.” 

The guys had the good sense to not say anything.  They went back to what they were doing.  Letting Trent sulk in his bad luck.  He sat and wondered how he would be able to prove to her he was serious?

“I’m serious I’ll still move to where you are stationed.”  He looked at her and said.

“That’s a start.  Trent last time you moved so slow, don’t go to fast this time.”

“I have a lot of years to make up for though.”  He said.

He looked out the window.  Not sure what else to say to her right now.  He could profess that he changed until he ran out of breathe.  But he had to show her by actions.  Trent knew she wouldn’t just go along with him claiming he was different.

The rest of the flight was quickly done.  “So when will you have to go back your station?”  Trent asked her.

“I don’t know.  I suspect your team or someone will tell me.”  Kimberly answered.

“Can I see you while you’re still here?” 

“I’d like that.”  She smiled.

“Great take my number and call me when you have free time.” 

Trent left hoping that she would be calling him soon.  Though he also knew he would have some meetings coming up as well.  He had made sure on the trip home that something would be said about him and Kimberly to one of the higher ups.  Who would be told and what they would do was still left to be seen.

Walking in his door he checked his phone again.  Making sure the volume was up.  

“Nope there’s no message.”  He said after making sure he hadn’t missed one.  “Might as well take a shower since I’m sure I’ll get a call from Kimberly or someone else.” 

Hoping in the shower he tried to move past seeing Kimberly   again.  Admitting how he felt had been hard.  But when she turned his proposal down it had hit him harder than he had let on.  Trent had hoped that him saying he loved her would automatically take away the past.  All the pain and worry he had caused her would be magically erased, or so he had hoped.  When she had told him no, that she wouldn’t marry him, he realized that she had hurt so many times, and so much.  He hadn’t been fair to her at all.  Often times he had scoffed at her, told her she was being too emotional!

Hanging his head in the shower he now realized he was the one being too emotional.  It wasn’t like she hadn’t said she would see him when she was here.  Not only that but she hadn’t shot him down when he told her he would move to her station. 

“This is a good sign!”  He cheered himself on.

Drying off after his long hot shower, Trent felt a bit better.  Going to his phone he saw the light flashing.  “Oh it’s a message.  Well it will be one of two things.  I sure hope it was Kimberly!”  He muttered hitting the side button to see who had sent him the message.

“Senior Petty Officer Jonas I need you to report to my office at 0900 in the morning.” 

Trent heard the voice of the Captain, the big deal, the one who oversaw the whole operation of his platoon.               

“This can’t be a good sign.”  He said.

Honestly when he thought about it though he really didn’t care the circumstances.  He wouldn’t change his decision.  Not even if they kicked him out of the Seals and hell even the Navy.

“I’d do it for her again.  No doubt in my mind.  This is what I’ll go in and say.  If it seals my fate so be it!”  Mark said aloud.

He really wished that Kimberly would just stop by and see him.  No call would be needed he would be so happy to see her.  But he knew he had told her a lot today.  She might just be absorbing it all day long.

Trent was tired so instead of watching his phone he decided to lay down for a little nap.  “I’ll get up in a bit and cook, or do anything.” 

As his head hit the pillow he thought about her once again.  Her long brown hair as it hung down.  He imagined seeing her as she was on top of him.  He grew hard thinking about her moistness enveloping his penis. 

Wrapping his hand around his cock, he slowly began to stroke up and down.  He could picture her perfectly.  But now he had a current image of her in his mind.  Not the one from 20 years ago.  But the one that he’d seen today.  No the one he had helped to save earlier in the day.  That image was the one he saw as he rubbed himself.

Trent wanted to cum badly.  But he also wanted to hold back, just in case she did show up on his door step.  Then as he thought about it more, he knew that even if he did orgasm right now he would be ready for her!  “I want her so bad.”  He said aloud as he began to stroke himself a bit quicker now.

His breathing got hard and then he was cumming.  The sperm spraying all over his body he moaned and he felt better.  Trent didn’t even cleanup he fell asleep quickly after his orgasm.  His dreams were filled with Kimberly and him making love in the past.

Groggy he came awake later on.  Something had bothered him in his sleep.  Trying to focus and come awake, he noticed it was now dark outside. 

“Shit, what time is it?”  He said aloud.

Checking his clock he saw he had slept for over 6 hours.  Picking up his clock he checked to see if he had missed any calls.  There were 2 new messages.  He clicked on them.

“Trent, hey this is Kimberly.  Um, I’m not sure what to say.  I missed you all these years.  I just couldn’t believe it was you I saw today.  That you had come to save me and it made me think.  If all those years ago you had listened to me, you wouldn’t have been there today.  It would have been someone else.  Another person who wouldn’t care for me the same ways as you do.  What if they had failed?  Then it would have been you who had found out while sitting at home that I was dead.”  She took a deep breath in.  “It wasn’t fair of me to ask you to leave the Seals.  I now know that and I’m sorry too.  Oh why didn’t you pick up?  I would rather say this to you in person.  I miss your touch so much.” 

The message ended.  Trent just stared at the phone.  He looked at the time she had called it was 4 hours ago.  He clicked on the second message and listened.

“Trent it’s me again.  I guess you changed your mind?”  She hung up.  That call was from 1 hour ago.

He dialed her number back.  She didn’t pick up right away.  Finally he heard her voice.  “Hello.”

“Kimberly, I was sleeping.  I haven’t changed my mind.  Come over please.”  Trent said.

“Trent I had thought the chance was gone.”  He heard her choke up.  He could imagine the tears on her cheeks.

“I’ll come to you, where are you?”  Trent asked.

She told him and he was out the door in a minute.  Driving as quickly as he could without going over the speed limit he was there in about 10 minutes.
