My Ranger Weekend (8 page)

 
CHAPTER SIX

Flint

I did intend to collect. There was no way the last twelve
hours was enough of this lovely woman before I left for six-fucking-months. I
had another 24 hours of leave and they would be spent with her, on top of her,
behind her, and inside of her. I needed every moment I could get with her
before I would never see her again. I needed every moan, every sigh of
pleasure, and every orgasm before she would move on from me. Ryan was the
marrying type. The type any regular guy would love to bring home.
 
Since being a Ranger
was my life, I never intended to get married so this would come to an end. I
needed to sear every moment with her into my brain because I just knew she
would stay with me for some time, feeding my dreams with naughty delights as
she haunted my subconscious with the thought of her with someone else. But I
was not going to dwell on any of that as I was going to enjoy every last moment
this weekend had to offer.

The shower was off before I knew it as she walked out in
nothing but a towel wrapped around her tight little body and one piled high on
her head.

“
Hey lovely,
”
I said as I placed a chaste kiss on her lips.

“
Hey Ranger. My bag
is in Reggie
’
s
room so I will meet you downstairs.
”

“
Ok,
”
I replied as I followed her out the door. I could hear Romeo
’
s deep voice and Reggie
’
s responding laughter
from downstairs. As I entered the kitchen, Reggie was taking toast out of the
toaster as Romeo piled a fried egg with ham and cheese onto another piece of
toast.
My favorite.

“
I
’
ll take two,
”
I said as I walked past Romeo with a quick fist bump.
“
Can I help with
anything?
”

“
Sure,
”
answered Reggie.
“
Grab the juice out of the frig. The glasses are in the
cabinet next to it.
”

“
Sure thing,
”
I said. As I finished pouring the last glass, Ryan entered
the kitchen wearing an eye-catching blue strapless cover-up that ended at her
knees. Her light blonde locks were a messy pile on top of her head showing off
her slender neck and beautiful collar bones.
I could kiss on those all day.
She
laughed as she caught me adjusting myself. I just shrugged my shoulders as I
took another mental snapshot in my head.

“
About time,
”
Romeo joked as he handed Ryan a plate with her sandwich on
it.

“
Sorry about that guys.
”
Her cheeks turned a slight pink as she came to stand next to
me. I put my arm around her waist as I ducked down and whispered,
“
I
’
m not.
”
Her responding giggle had my swim trunks feeling a size too
small.

“
So, where are we
headed?
”
asked Reggie.

“
I
’
m thinking the cove,
”
Ryan answered.

“
Where
’
s that?
”
Romeo asked as he handed me my double decker sandwich.

“
This semi-secluded
beach spot that we can walk to that only locals really know about,
”
said Reggie, putting her plate in the sink.
“
I am going to grab us
towels and stuff so we can head out when everyone is done.
”
She walked by slapping Romeo on the ass.

“
You
’
ll pay for that Reg,
”
he laughed as she ran off at the same time as Ryan added,
“
I
’
m gonna help.
”
I grabbed her half eaten sandwich and her plate as she
hurried after Reggie.
No wonder she is so damn thin.

“
Girl talk,
”
Romeo uttered. I turned to face him nodding my head in
agreement.
“
Did
you enjoy yourself last night there Casanova?
”

“
So now I am Casanova?
”

“
When you take a honey
home that is that smokin
’
then hell yeah. I didn
’
t know you had it in
you,
”
he joked.

“
I am so much smoother
than you even on your best day there Johnny-boy.
”

“
Oh yeah?
”

“
Hell yeah,
”
I laughed as I eyed him up and down.
“
Have you seen you?
”
He chuckled.
“
All Oompa-Loompa like. I mean come on.
”
I choked on my own laughter as his face turned serious.

“
I like her man,
”
he said as he rubbed the top of his head back and forth.
“
This sucks.
”

“
I know man. But you got
just this weekend. Memorize the hell out of her cute little body and beautiful
laugh and just enjoy it.
”

“
Is that what you are
doing?
”

“
Hell yeah,
”
I said.
“
Every fucking minute. We aren
’
t leaving until right before we are due on base. No errands
and no chilling with the guys before check in.
”

Romeo nodded his head in agreement and held up his hand for a
high-five.
“
Deal.
”

“
Deal,
”
I said, slapping his hand as the girls called for us. I set
the plates in the sink as I took Romeo in a head lock.
“
Let
’
s go lover-boy,
”
I said as I led a struggling Romeo out of the kitchen.

“
What are you doing?
”
A shocked Ryan asked as Reggie laughed her ass off. I have to
admit that Reggie
’
s laugh was pretty amazing and the more time I got to spend
with her the more I could see why Romeo was so enamored with her. She was quite
the beauty but nothing compared to the lovely creature next to her who was
shaking her head at me as I shrugged my shoulders.
“
Nothing dear,
”
I answered, placing a quick kiss on her lips before pulling
Romeo between the girls and through the front door. As Romeo passed Reggie he
grabbed her hand pulling her with him. Reggie
’
s laughter caused me to turn and see her grabbing Ryan
’
s hand and pulling her
with us. Laughter followed us out of the house as our linked group turned
towards the beach.

Ryan

Reggie
’
s quick snippet of TMI (too much info) on how Romeo was in
bed confirmed what I already knew. She was lusting after Romeo pretty
hard-core. I could tell that he was a charmer but I hoped she took everything
he said with a grain of salt. As we threw towels in the bags Reggie asked,
“
How was last night with
Dakota? And should I even ask about this morning after I left you two?
”
She fanned herself as she whistled.

My face burned red at her questions.
“
It was good . . . great
actually.
”
I paused then asked,
“
Why do you call him Dakota and not Flint?
”

“
I don
’
t know. I mean I really
only talked to him a little since he was all about you and Romeo calls him
Dakota so it just fits for me. I like Flint though. It sounds good coming from
you.
”

“
I like Flint too,
”
I said smiling, knowing she caught my double meaning.

“
Did Dakota mention that
they are leaving on Monday?
”
Her question caught me
off guard.

“
No,
”
I answered as I shook my head finally making eye contact.
“
Where are they going?
”

“
A six month mission or
op or something. Romeo wasn
’
t really forthcoming with information.
”

“
And Romeo told you
this?
”
My heart fell into my stomach.

“
Yes. He told me this
morning when we woke up. He said that he wanted to be honest with me and make
sure I knew this before agreeing to spend the day with him.
”

Wow
.
“
Wow. What did you say
to that?
”

“
I just said ok. I mean
what I was going to say. He is a funny guy who I could see myself really liking
but at the same time I get that it is only temporary and I should just enjoy
this weekend. We are young so why not have a weekend with a sexy-ass Ranger
with no worries of whether he will call me or not. This is what we should be
doing.
”

“
You
’
re right. You are
absolutely right.
”

“
If I am right then why
do you look like I just kicked your puppy twice?
”

I snickered at her comment.
“
Maybe not my puppy but definitely knocked the wind from my
sails. I can
’
t
believe Flint didn
’
t tell me. Well . . . maybe we haven
’
t really talked that
much.
”
I felt my cheeks flame as I admitted to what I knew Reggie
already guessed.
“
I just wish he made an effort to tell me.
”

“
Who cares!
”
Reggie was definitely trying to play it off.
“
Let
’
s just enjoy the day
and hopefully the night,
”
she said as she wiggled
her eyebrows at me.
“
And then we
’
ll rehash the Ranger weekend,
”
she said in a deep
voice mimicking the guys as she air quoted the last two words,
“
over and over again
when we are like 80. It
’
ll be great.
”

I laughed at her sum-up of what our life would be like at 80
as I threw my arm around her shoulders.
“
You
’
re right. You
’
re right.
”

“
Damn straight,
”
she said as we made our way down the steps.

“
Let
’
s go Rangers,
”
Reggie called as we got to the front door. The guys rounded
the corner.
Damn he
’
s hot.
Flint with a shit-eating grin on his face, those broad
shoulders filling out his white t-shirt as the sleeves hugged his biceps. I was
honestly jealous of a shirt. It wasn
’
t until Reggie started laughing that I noticed that Flint had
poor Romeo in a head lock.

“
What are you doing?
”
I asked as Reggie laughed even harder. Flint was staring at
Reggie as her laughter filled the foyer.
 
I felt a twinge of
jealousy when I saw the appreciative gleam in his eyes as he looked her over.
But then his eyes found mine and turned from approving to downright hungry as
he stalked towards me like a predator and I was his prey.

“
Nothing dear,
”
he answered as he shrugged his shoulders. He placed a quick
kiss on my lips as he led Romeo out the front door. Romeo winked as he passed
us grabbing Reggie
’
s hand and pulling her with him. Reggie turned to me giving
me her brightest smile before she laughed out loud again and grabbed my hand to
follow her. We were all laughing by the time we made it to the beach. What a
sight we must have been to anyone walking by; Flint held Romeo in a head lock
as he pulled Reggie and me behind him while we all laughed at our own antics.
