“Good. You deserve it. You’ve made us late for the party.”
Alex was dressed as Robin Hood and accompanied one of the nurses from the clinic he’d met two days ago. Kyle was a pirate and insisted he get a picture with both Amy and Christy, his wenches.
Fredo was dressed as one ugly, rotund Mexican woman with one of his mother-in-law’s embroidered dresses and Mia’s bra stuffed with foam. Libby was a fairy queen, and their daughter was a fairy princess. All three of Kyle’s kids, two boys and a girl, were pirates to match their dad. Coop didn’t dress up at all.
“Someone’s got to look normal,” he mumbled, chewing on ice.
Zak’s costume was the most popular by far.
Music played for those who wanted to dance under the stars in the Cooper’s backyard. Amidst little people tripping over costumes and playing with imaginary plastic swords and sabers, Zak and Amy danced a slow dance. Amy barely heard the ruckus around them.
The air was chilly, and she shivered.
“You cold, my dear?”
“No; in your arms I’m never cold, my love. I’m moved by your countenance, the way our bodies sway back and forth. I’m thinking of how nicely they move together in bed, too.”
“Shh. Little ears are listening, I fear.”
“Nothing is going to keep me from enjoying this night.” She placed her cheek against his shirt and heard the beating of his heart. He wrapped the protection of the cape around her shoulders as they moved slowly, turning first one way, and then the other, avoiding children, dogs, and candy wrappers covering the backyard.
It had been a magical evening. She’d had a little too much champagne to drink, so she leaned into him more than she normally did as they walked to the Hummer.
On the way home, Zak missed a turn.
“What are you doing?” Amy asked.
“It’s a surprise.”
In the shadows of the late night, Amy soon saw where they were headed. He parked the truck and they walked hand in hand across the parking lot. They found a small gap in the wrought iron fencing just wide enough to let them through. Once onto the green, Zak removed his cape, spread it out, sat, and extended his hand to Amy.
“My love. Join me?”
Amy was on her knees in front of him so fast he began to chuckle.
“Mrs. Chambers, I do believe you are quite randy!” he said in a mock English accent.
“My panties are soaked.”
“Ahh, just what the Phantom wants to hear!” He kissed her palm. “I have a confession to make.”
“What?”
“I never told you that green is my favorite color—for walls. For golf courses. Whenever I see green, I get hard.”
“Green? Zak, that’s so silly. I would never think that.”
“Well, you have not seen what I have seen on green lawns, my dear,” he said as he wiggled his eyebrows.
“Ah. What’s your other favorite color?”
He turned her head to the side, kissed her ear, and whispered, “Pink. I like all your pink places, Amy.”
A shiver went down her spine. The erotic blush happening between her legs gave her a dull ache in the pit of her stomach. Zak was on his knees. He looked up at her, his mask still in place as he slowly removed his white gloves and laid them beside her.
One by one, he lifted her petticoats. He searched the inside of her thigh until he came to the elastic edge of her panties. She felt the roughness of his fingers as they breached the elastic and found the wet lips of her sex. He slid easily into her.
Amy placed her hands on his shoulders and arched back. His gentle push moved her knees more to the sides. With a quick flip of the petticoats, his head was beneath her skirt and his hot tongue was seeking a taste of her goodness. She could feel the mast rubbing against her thigh. Once he found her, he flicked over her clit as his lips covered her, sucking and exploring all her soft folds.
Her insides were on fire. Her nipples hardened and sought release. The soft hairs at the back of her neck stood to attention. His kiss and touch in the most intimate of her places were bringing on the wild horses of arousal.
He feasted for several minutes before he came up for air, her juices on his lips. His mask was crooked. “Come. Let’s get nekked.”
“This is always the way I wished the Phantom could have ended. He should have gotten the girl,” she said.
“I think so, too.”
Zak removed her cotton blouse and her skirts, while Amy slipped off her shoes and the rest of her underwear. Then she helped him take off his black slacks, the shirt, and his American Flag boxers.
In the moonlight, the white mask of his costume shone with a paranormal glow. She removed it by stretching the elastic band and tossing it over her shoulder.
Her fingers explored the pebbled flesh of his face, now becoming smoother as it healed. She pulled on his earlobes with her thumbs and first two fingers, rose to her tiptoes, and kissed him.
Then she kissed his injured eye.
As they slid to the ground, her thighs parted, and she felt his stiff cock rooting between her legs until it snagged itself on her opening. With bold, smooth strokes, he pressed in deep.
The rhythm built. He angled, holding her thigh over his shoulder, and moved back and forth easily as her muscles squeezed him. Zak withdrew and sucked on her bud, sending electric pulses up her spine. Thrusting forward, he guided his cock while pressing her bud with his thumb, forcing it down with a delicious ache that generated spasms deep within her.
Her Phantom quickly flipped her over and held her pelvis up with his powerful hand as he entered her from behind. He pushed deeper still. His hips moved fluidly, raising her body up and down on him.
Amy moved her thighs outside his as she rocked her pelvis, rose, and fell down around him until the burn inside enveloped her whole body, her orgasm turning her liquid.
She didn’t know what future was in store for them. She didn’t know whether he’d ever regain the use of his right eye. If anyone could do it, Zak could. And whatever he decided, she’d be right there beside him.
Her man was flesh and blood. He was the one who came home, came back to her. He was no phantom. He was real.
They would heal each other.

Sharon Hamilton
NYT and USA Today best-selling author Sharon Hamilton’s award-winning Navy SEAL Brotherhood series have been a fan favorite from the day the first one was released.

Reviews
PRAISE FOR THE
SEAL BROTHERHOOD SERIES
“Fans of Navy SEAL romance, I found a new author to feed your addiction. Finely written and loaded delicious with moments, Sharon Hamilton’s storytelling satisfies like a thick bar of chocolate.” —Marliss Melton, bestselling author of the Team Twelve Navy SEALs series
“Sharon Hamilton does an EXCELLENT job of fitting all the characters into a brotherhood of SEALS that may not be real but sure makes you feel that you have entered the circle and security of their world. The stories intertwine with each book before…and each book after and THAT is what makes Sharon Hamilton’s SEAL Brotherhood Series so very interesting. You won’t want to put down ANY of her books and they will keep you reading into the night when you should be sleeping. Start with this book…and you will not want to stop until you’ve read the whole series and then…you will be waiting for Sharon to write the next one.” (5 Star Review)
“Kyle and Christy explode all over the pages in this first book, [Accidental SEAL], in a whole new series of SEALs. If the twist and turns don’t get your heart jumping, then maybe the suspense will. This is a must read for those that are looking for love and adventure with a little sloppy love thrown in for good measure.” (5 Star Review)
PRAISE FOR THE
BAD BOYS OF SEAL TEAM 3 SERIES
“I love reading this series! Once you start these books, you can hardly put them down. The mix of romance and suspense keeps you turning the pages one right after another! Can’t wait until the next book!” (5 Star Review)
“I love all of Sharon’s Seal books, but [SEAL’s Code] may just be her best to date. Danny and Luci’s journey is filled with a wonderful insight into the Native American life. It is a love story that will fill you with warmth and contentment. You will enjoy Danny’s journey to become a SEAL and his reasons for it. Good job Sharon!” (5 Star Review)
PRAISE FOR THE
BAND OF BACHELORS SERIES
“[Lucas] was the first book in the Band of Bachelors series and it was a phenomenal start. I loved how we got to see the other SEALs we all love and we got a look at Lucas and Marcy. They had an instant attraction, and their love was very intense. This book had it all, suspense, steamy romance, humor, everything you want in a riveting, outstanding read. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.” (5 Star Review)
PRAISE FOR THE
TRUE BLUE SEALS SERIES
“Keep the tissues box nearby as you read True Blue SEALs: Zak by Sharon Hamilton. I imagine more than I wish to that the circumstances surrounding Zak and Amy are all too real for returning military personnel and their families. Ms. Hamilton has put us right in the middle of struggles and successes that these two high school sweethearts endure. I have read several of Sharon Hamilton’s military romances but will say this is the most emotionally intense of the ones that I have read. This is a well-written, realistic story with authentic characters that will have you rooting for them and proud of those who serve to keep us safe. This is an author who writes amazing stories that you love and cry with the characters. Fans of Jessica Scott and Marliss Melton will want to add Sharon Hamilton to their list of realistic military romance writers.” (5 Star Review)
“Dear FATHER IN HEAVEN,
If I may respectfully say so sometimes you are a strange God. Though you love all mankind,
It seems you have special predilections too.
You seem to love those men who can stand up alone who face impossible odds, Who challenge every bully and every tyrant ~
Those men who know the heat and loneliness of Calvary. Possibly you cherish men of this stamp because you recognize the mark of your only son in them.
Since this unique group of men known as the SEALs know Calvary and suffering, teach them now the mystery of the resurrection ~ that they are indestructible, that they will live forever because of their deep faith in you.
And when they do come to heaven, may I respectfully warn you, Dear Father, they also know how to celebrate. So please be ready for them when they insert under your pearly gates.
Bless them, their devoted Fam
ilies and their Country on this glorious occasion.
We ask this through the merits of your Son, Christ Jesus the Lord, Amen.”
