I hope you guys enjoy! I have two more chapters than this story comes to a close!
Adam gripped my hand hard as we were ducking behind various buildings in town. Between two buildings, we heard his phone ring, Adam let go of my hand and took out his phone and answered it, "Yeah, McG. We already know James is at the bar-No he didn't see us." Adam rolled his eyes, I smirked at his reaction knowing we all roll our eyes when it comes to McG.
"McG, get the gear. We are heading out when Jaz and I get back, the deal is at 0300. Yeah-Yes McG. Jones is on our side-Ye-Yes McG. Mc-McG stop asking questions and just do as I say! We will tell you all everything in twenty minutes. Okay." I couldn't hold my laugh back with that one.
Adam met my eyes and took a deep breath and chuckled, "Damn, I have never known anybody to talk more than McG." Letting a smile fill me face, "Tell me about it, wait till he rants about Montana, it will never stop." Adam chuckled and continued making eye contact with me. "That was a close one, are you okay?" He asked with a more serious tone. I shrug my shoulders, "I guess. Honestly? I don't think I am going to be fine until James is locked up." His blue eyes spoke to me before he actually did, determination engrossed those beautiful eyes, determination to see that I am fine in the end.
A commotion to my left pulled my gaze away from him, its Peshy. "Shit... Adam." He pushes me the other side of alley my back against a building, next to a dumpster. Wincing at the pain in my back, Adam cages me into him, places both arms on either side of me. Adam looks at me, and I meet his gaze, he looks hungry. He inhaled sharply, our face inches apart, "So, you remember what Amir said?" I couldn't talk, Hell I couldn't breathe. I nod, I see him trying to not to cross the line thats put out, but before I could say anything, he cups my face, "Fuck it." That line we were tiptoeing around, was now obliterated.
Adam kissed me hard, and with hunger.
I kiss him back with just as much hunger and passion. His tongue brushes my lower lip and I happily let him explore my mouth more, which gains a moan coming from the back of his throat. One hand is wrapped in my ponytail and on my neck, and the other one... that one is definitely exploring the rest of me. Starting at my arm then to my waist, and then residing just below my left breast. Man I loved his hands.
Adam pulls my hair a small amount, which made me arch my back and let out a moan myself. He smiles against my lips, " I like that sound" I kissed him to shut him up.
Finally which felt like hours passed, was only less than five minutes, Adam pulled back. Lips swollen and eyes on fire, Adam cleared his throat, "Why do we keep on ending up like this." I laugh, "I have no clue. But I am not complaining." He brushes a piece of my hair behind my hair and secures the hat to my head. "W-we need to make a break for it, I don't see Peshy anymore, but it doesn't mean he still isn't here. Still sort of speechless, I nod.
Adam grabs my hand and we sprint as fast as we can through the rest of town and up to base. Sneaking back in and from quonset to quonset, we finally make it to the one we are staying in. Darkness overcame base, and my and Adams breathing is all anyone could hear as we walked in. "I need to work on my sprints." I laughed between each heavy breath, as I put my hands on my knees. Adam ended up doing the same thing, "Yeah you do." I went to punch him but the rest of the team interrupted that.
"Oh, thank god." Preach said while coming from one of the rooms. McG in follow, Amir was probably staying back with Nabiyha. "Damn, are you guys okay?" McG asked while rushing up to us. I took a deep breathe to try to control my breathing,"I think I could win the Boston Marathon with how fast we were running." Adam stifled a laugh, "Yeah probably." Standing up straight, the room spinned.
"Woah..." I grab on to McG and Preachs arms before I face planted the ground. McG took the cap off of my head, "Jesus Jaz, you're super pale. Is your back in pain also?" I didn't even realize the pain in my back anymore, all of I could think of was hands roaming my body like a map. "Jaz.." I heard Adam say. I waved them off, "I'm good, I just haven't eaten at all today, and Top and I sprinted about half a mile." My eyes met Top's and concern was etched on them, "I'm okay" He nods in response.
Still gripping Preach's arm, he led me to the kitchen where I sat on the stool. I put my head on the table, "Preach, can you make me a peanut butter sandwich? Pleaseeee" I emphasized the end, which made him smile. "You remind me of my daughters begging me for things." I lift my head enough to give him the puppy eyes ordeal, "Yes, Jaz I will make it for you." I smile, "Thanks Preach."
McG comes up to my left and hands me a water, and Top on my left chugging is water away. "Sip this. You don't need to prove how fantastic you are at chugging things." I smiled at him, "you're just mad that I can shotgun a beer faster than you." Preach sighed, "Not this again." McG shoves my arm a little, "I still think you cheated." I laugh from behind my glass, "You wish."
I hear Amirs voice from the back in one of the rooms, "Why is everything a competition with you two?" McG and I laugh, which Preach and Top join in.
Preach puts the sandwich in front of me and my mouth is salivating, taking the sandwich in my hands I take a bite, and all I could do was moan in my mouth, this sandwich was the best thing I have ever tasted. "Preach, this is amazing." Before he could answer I take another bite and moan again, "Jeez Jaz it sounds like you're making out with someone." I think of Adam merely twenty minutes ago, and what we did- I choke.
Coughing, McG gives me my water and I sip it until I stop coughing. "Funny McG." I turn to Top whose face darkened a different color of red. Adam coughed and cleared his throat, "Okay... Amir get out here with Nabiyha, we need to move fast on this. We need to let you in on what Jones told us."
We went in complete depth on what he said, Adam placed the cell phone Matthew gave him next to me, I picked it up when an incoming text came through.
"James doesn't suspect anything. Time is still set at 0300. Move out as soon as possible." I read to the guys. Its now 0800. "We should head out. I need to change first." Adam nodded, " Everything ready?" Preach nodded, "All set, Top."
I turned to Nabiyha, "You're doing great, this will be over soon. okay?" She smiled and pulled me into hug. "Th-thank you. Jaz" I smile and hug her back. I pulled away from her embrace, and walked to the back of the hut to the room I was staying in.
Taking off the clothes now, I stood in front of my bag, grabbing my all black apparel. Slowly pulling my black cargo pants on, and then my shirt I heard a knock at the door. "One sec." I was pulling my shirt on when I heard the door open and close, "Jesus McG... oh Top." Adam stood in front of me.
He looked me up and down, what I would kill for him to have his hands on me like before. He cleared his throat, "Jaz we need to talk before we head out." I sit on the end of my bed, pulling my boots on. "Okay.." Shit I know where this is going.
Adam came to crouch in front of me, eyes looking sad and hungry. I could always tell what he was feeling from those eyes. "Jaz, what happened... I know there is something between us, but that line... we crossed it." I chuckled and looked down at my hands in my lap, "We obliterated it." Adam sighed, "Yeah we did.. Jaz I am your CO. I know the first time was for our cover... but this time.. felt real."
I continued to stare at my hands, "I don't know what to say.. we forget this?" Adam put a hand on my knee, "Jaz, look at me." He is the only person I would answer when orders were given this personally, I looked up. Meeting his eyes, I saw the hunger gain in his eyes again. Yay for me. "We need to leave what happened here." I stifle a laugh, "What happens in Baghdad, stays in Baghdad?" His eyes said it all. I nod in agreement.
Adam didn't move his hand, when Amir called for us that we were leaving in two minutes. I cleared my throat and took a leap of faith, I put my hand on his cheek. He tilted his head into my hand and closed his eyes, "Jaz" he grumbled out. "Since we are still in Baghdad.. one last time." I grabbed his face and pulled it to mine, kissing him like one of us would die tonight, hell one of us could. Adam let out a moan and kissed me back, and damn did that kiss bring fire to my stomach.
Adam finally pulled back, and put his forehead to mine, "You are as much devious as you are a ninja, you know that?" I laugh, "yeah i know... we should go." Adam nodded against my forehead, kissed my temple and stood. I stood and, looked at his fully one last time. "Once we get back home and set James to prison for a long time, we draw that line again?" It took a minute for Adam to respond,"yeah" Disappointment flowed through me, I grab my backpack and nod.
Adam opens the door for me and we walk into the main quarters where the rest of our team is, Top goes over the plans, Nabiyha is with Preach up front, Amir and McG to the left and right of them. Then me and Top would be behind them, watching their sixes. "Alright team, this can go south real quick, we need to be smart about this. Even though Captain James is a bastard, he isn't stupid."
"Where the meet up is on the this road on the other side of town, Nabiyha says there is a small hut that we can use for cover, and few trees outlining the road. Preach you keep Nabiya in that hut, Amir and McG you will be hidden on one side of the road, while Jaz and I are on the other." The Cellphone Jones gave Top ringed, "Its a text, it says they are heading out in 0200 hours. Lets move."
I looked at Preach, Amir and McG, "keep her safe." They nod, and McG speaks up, "Of course." I smile back and then we are walking out the door. Everyone in black tactical gear, it was hard to see anyone at first but soon eyes adjusted. We get out of base, and we flank up the way we discussed. A hand lands on my lower back, knowing who it is without turning, "Jaz."
"Adam." I took a deep breath.
"Don't die." I turn to him at that. I look for his eyes, "you too."
