Mercy: Second Chance Military Romance

by Abbi Hemp

She pursed her lips and pressed them against the head of my cock.

  “Good dirty girl. Now lick right under the head. Where I like it.”

  “Mmm,” she moaned as her pink, wet tongue slipped out of her mouth.

  I glanced down at her as she licked the underside of my head – that most sensitive spot.

  “That’s good,” I said as she lapped.

  “Can I…taste it?” she asked in an innocent voice.

  “Yes. Do it now.”

  Her lips wrapped around my cock. I sucked in a deep breath as it disappeared deeper into her mouth. The taste of her juices on my lips and the sight of her sucking my dick turned me on even more. I had to have her pussy.

  “Turn around,” I said.

  She looked up at me with her eyes open so wide. I watched her body as she turned around and pressed her chest against the mattress. Her ass stuck up in the air as I crawled over on my knees.

  I slipped in the tip, enjoying the sensation a moment before pushing in the rest of the way. Her pussy spread and opened, fitting me like a smooth, velvet glove.

  At a loss for words, I grunted, “Fuck.”

  Each time I thrust into her pussy, she pressed her hips back, trying to get my dick even deeper inside her. I squeezed her ass cheeks a few times then slipped a hand underneath to rub her clitoris while continuing to penetrate her over and over again.

  “Yes, like that,” she said, her breathing coming quicker.

  “You like that, don’t you?” I asked, pounding even harder.

  “Yes. Oh please, yes. Fuck me.”

  “Like this?”

  I pushed all the way in with one quick thrust then pulled out and repeated the process.

  “Oh, fuck, yes!”

  Her pussy tightened around my cock as she came, screaming out in pleasure with her face pressed against the mattress. Normally I would have been able to go quite a while longer, but something about that night made me come right after she did.

  My hot seed exploded out of the tip of my dick, filling her completely. I threw my head back, almost passing out as my entire body tingled after the initial spurts of my orgasm. After I pulled out, I collapsed on the bed next to her. She rolled over and put her arm across my stomach.

  As I caught my breath, enjoying the afterglow, she leaned up and kissed me on the mouth.

  “That was wonderful.”

  “You’re done already?” I teased.

  “Not in the least, but you’re going to need some time to recharge.”

  “You hungry too?”

  She nodded her head.

  “I can make something.”

  “Nonsense. We can make it together.”

  We both smiled, our love washing over us in waves. The night was the best one I’d had in a long time.

  TWENTY-NINE

  Super Weed

  The next morning, Brent had Keifer drive us to Dad’s house to check on him and the Super Weed for the Cannabis Cup Finals. As we sat around his kitchen table, an idea hit me.

  “I’m going to quit the DEA,” I said.

  “What? Are you sure?” Brent asked.

  I nodded my head.

  “What are you going to do?” Dad asked.

  “I was thinking about coming to work with you.”

  My father tilted his head as he stared at me.

  “I never thought I’d hear you say that,” he said.

  “You wouldn’t mind?”

  “I’d love it,” he said.

  I turned from Dad to Brent, who glanced at me. He looked so cute with a smile perched on his face. Happiness hit me intensely for the first time in years.

  “How’s the super plants going?” Brent asked.

  “The last one for the Cannabis Cup is almost ready for harvest. It’s in the greenhouse. I have one joint with the last batch. It’s the last of it. We can smoke it.”

  “You get stoned with your dad often?” Brent asked.

  I glanced at him with a wide smile and guilty expression.

  “I’ll be back,” Dad said.

  As he stood up to get the last joint of the good stuff, I reached across the table and put my hand over Brent’s. We made eye contact, neither of us looking away.

  “Are you sure about this decision?” he asked.

  I nodded, not saying a word.

  “You’re not doing it because…”

  “I’m doing it for me, not you,” I interrupted.

  He nodded. When Dad walked back in, I pulled my hand back.

  “When are you quitting at the DEA?” he asked as he sat down.

  “Soon,” I said. “They’re going to think it’s weird, but I don’t care anymore. People like Ron Glass get promoted while I work hard and get nothing.”

  “Ron Glass?” Brent asked.

  “Yeah.”

  “He’s the one who told me you work for the DEA.”

  “Really? Why was he talking to you?”

  “He said he’s working with the cartels. You haven’t caught him on your wiretap?”

  “No, but it doesn’t surprise me he’s working with the bad guys.”

  “Another reason for you to quit,” Dad said then passed the joint to me.

  I took a hit, holding the smoke in, then handed it to Brent. The joint made its way around the table a few times. Laughter and small talk filled the air along with a dense cloud of smoke.

  * * *

  Later that afternoon, Brent and I walked outside.

  “I can’t believe you made him wait out here for you.”

  “He doesn’t mind,” he said. “And he’s paid well.”

  “I don’t know. I’m not sure I could do it.”

  “Keifer is a special guy. He’s been working for me since the very beginning.”

  I turned to look him in the eyes as we stood on the porch.

  “It’s a good sign your employees are loyal.”

  “Yeah?”

  “Yeah. I think we have something.”

  “I’m sure we have something good,” he said then leaned over and kissed me.

  “We should get going. Can you drop me off at my house?”

  He nodded. “You want me to stay over?”

  “I do, really, but I have work in the morning.”

  “Are you going to tell them tomorrow?” he asked.

  I nodded. “I’ll write a resignation letter and hand it in. They’ll want me to stay a few weeks at least to tie up loose ends. Maybe. Who knows.”

  “What are you going to do about Ron Glass? Should I come in and say something about what he offered me?”

  “No,” I answered quickly. “I’ll take care of it. You shouldn’t get involved if at all possible. Real journalists would tear you a new one if they found out you had anything to do with it.”

  “I’m the victim here,” he said. “But I understand.”

  While I wasn’t sure if I believed it myself, I said, “We’ll get it worked out.”

  “Let’s go,” he said, stepping aside.

  I walked down the steps and headed to the black, stretch SUV. Brent opened the back door. After I climbed in, I scooted over to the far side of the leather bench seat.

  “Take us back to her house, Keifer,” he called to the front after shutting the door.

  “Sure thing, boss,” the long blond-haired man said from the driver’s seat.

  “Everything is moving so fast,” I said as the SUV pulled away.

  “Are you talking about us or things at work?”

  “Both,” I said honestly. “I’m not looking forward to accusing Ron, but it has to be done.”

  He put his hand on my knee.

  “Like I said, I can help.”

  “I appreciate it, but I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to be involved with them at all. I’m not even sure if Keller, my boss, is also dirty or not.”

  “Are you going to tell him about Ron?”

  “No, I don’t think so. I’m going to have to go higher up.”

 
; “That’s smart,” he said, squeezing my leg.

  “I’m no dummy.”

  “The smartest sexy woman I’ve ever met.”

  I smiled, some of my stress floating away as his love poured over me.

  THIRTY

  Heidi

  What the What?!

  At work on Monday, I sat at my desk staring at the screen of my laptop. I’d been working on my resignation letter for the last hour. Part of me wondered if it was a good idea, but after Dad’s problems with skin cancer, I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible.

  I read the three whole sentences I’d typed, hating each and every single word. Just as I moved to delete them and start over, Ron Glass walked up and leaned against the divider between my cubicle and the next one. When I ignored him, he coughed.

  “Hey, little lady. We need to talk.”

  “I don’t have time right now,” I said without looking up at him.

  “You want your father to stay out of trouble?”

  I shot a dirty look at him.

  “What are you talking about? You better not…”

  “Calm down,” he interrupted. “Don’t get yourself worked up yet.”

  He glanced around the office, making sure no one else was around to hear us.

  “You need to frame Brent Stone,” he said quietly. “If you do this, I won’t plant evidence on your father and arrest him for distributing heroin and cocaine.”

  “My father doesn’t touch that junk,” I said in a furious tone, my nostrils flaring.

  “No, but by the time I’m done with him, no one is going to believe him or you.”

  “Why are you going after Brent? Is it because you’re dirty?”

  “Ah,” he said, a smile spreading across his face. “What do you know?”

  “Nothing,” I lied. “You just told me what I need to know, though.”

  “Clever girl.”

  I stood up, not afraid of him.

  “I’m a woman. A strong one.”

  “You’re definitely a woman.”

  His eyes lowered to my breasts.

  “What’s to stop me from turning you in?” I asked.

  He stared into my eyes without flinching.

  “Because if you do, little girl, I’ll take your father down and have some of my friends take care of you as well.”

  A nauseous rose up in the pit of my stomach.

  “Do you understand?” he asked.

  I nodded. Barely.

  “Good. You have a week to take Brent down. If it doesn’t happen, you know what will happen.”

  He ogled at my breasts again before turning to leave.

  I sat down in my chair and took a deep breath.

  The idea of framing Brent to save my father was not an option, but I also wasn’t ready to have my father face Ron Glass and his goons, especially since he’d just gotten rid of his skin cancer. I sighed. Just as my life was looking better, everything was quickly going to hell.

  THIRTY-ONE

  Brent

  Hard Choices

  As I sat in my study thinking about how to propose to Heidi, my phone rang. I picked it up off the desk and saw the all-too-familiar unknown number.

  “Yeah?” I asked after answering the call.

  “Mr. Stone. It’s Mr. Glass. Since you’re not willing to work with me and my business associates, you need to turn yourself in.”

  “What?” I asked in astonishment. “Are you crazy? Why the hell would I do that? And for what? I’m not doing anything illegal.”

  “You can make something up, I’m sure,” he said confidently. “I need the feds to look into your operations so that they leave us alone for phase three of our plans.”

  “Phase three?”

  “Don’t worry about it,” he said. “You didn’t want to join us, but I need this favor from you.”

  “I’m not doing you any favors.”

  “I didn’t think you would, so here’s the deal. If you do not turn yourself in and deflect the feds from looking into me and my ventures, I am going to make sure that Heidi and her father are both arrested and thrown into jail.”

  “Leave them out of this.”

  He laughed.

  “Are you seriously threatening me? You don’t understand, Mr. Stone. I have you in a tight spot. Your love of love over money makes you weak. Do you want to change your mind and come work with me instead of against me?”

  “Never,” I said with fire and conviction in my voice.

  “Very well. It’s your call. You have a week to decide what you are going to do. If you help me with this, I will leave you, Heidi, and that crazy old man alone.”

  “I don’t take kindly to threats.”

  “That’s all very well and good, Mr. Stone, but you have no choice. I’m holding all the cards.”

  Like hell you are, I thought but didn’t say anything out loud.

  “Are you still there?” he asked.

  “I’m here.”

  “You have a week, Mr. Stone. Don’t fuck around with me.”

  He ended the call. I set the phone down on the desk and took a deep breath, trying to control the rage and anger rushing through my body. I would do anything for Heidi or her father. They had both quickly become two of the most important people in my life.

  I picked the phone back up and called Heidi. She answered right away.

  “How did it go today?” I asked

  “I didn’t resign. We should talk.”

  “You want to come here?”

  “Yeah, I’ll drive over. Give me a few.”

  “I’ll be waiting.”

  “Okay. Bye.”

  “Bye.”

  I disconnected the call, wishing she had already arrived.

  * * *

  When she walked into my study, I remembered why she was worth any amount of trouble.

  “Hey,” I said, standing up and walking over to her.

  “Hey yourself.”

  I kissed her on the lips.

  “What happened?”

  “Can we sit?”

  “Sure.”

  She sat down on my leather couch with bookshelves built into the wall around it. I took a seat, unable to take my eyes off her.

  “You didn’t resign?”

  “No, Ron came up to me and threatened Dad.”

  I frowned.

  “He called me too.”

  “Why?”

  “He wants me to turn myself in to deflect attention from him and whoever he’s working with.”

  “That asshole,” she said, also frowning.

  “We’ll get through this,” I said.

  “I’m not sure how. Keller is probably dirty too.”

  “Keller?”

  “My boss.”

  “Oh yeah. I forgot.”

  “You do smoke a lot of pot.”

  I smiled.

  “I’m not even sure who is dirty anymore or what is going on.”

  “Can’t you contact another office? Your boss’ boss?”

  “I can try, but without proof or knowledge of who I can trust, it’s not smart.”

  “Yeah, you’re right.”

  “I want to quit so bad…”

  Her voice trailed off.

  I put my arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer. She rested her head on my chest. The scent of strawberries rose from her curly red hair.

  “We should go to my cabin,” I said.

  “Your cabin?”

  “Yeah. It’s in the mountains.”

  “I’m not a skier,” she said.

  “Who said we would be skiing?”

  She rolled her eyes.

  “You’re not tired of the sex yet? We have so much else to think about.”

  “I’m going to be eighty-years-old and hounding you.”

  “Horndog.”

  “Come on,” I said in my most charismatic voice. “It will be good for us to get away for a night and think this through. We don’t want to rush into anything.”

 
She stared at me. I almost saw the gears turning in her brain.

  “Okay,” she said finally. “But we need to use the time away to come up with a plan.”

  “We will,” I said confidently. “I promise.”

  “Don’t promise if you’re not sure,” she said. “I hate that.”

  “I don’t make a promise if I’m not ready to keep it.”

  “Let’s do it. I’m worried about Dad.”

  “I can have some of my security people watch him until we get this figured out.”

  She lifted her head and looked at me.

  “You don’t have to do that for us.”

  “I know, but I want to help. If we’re a team, we need to support each other.”

  “I love you, Brent.”

  Instead of saying the words back, I leaned in and kissed her on the lips. We didn’t get much sleep later that night, but I enjoyed having her in bed next to me as I eventually drifted off to the land of dreams.

  THIRTY-TWO

  Brent

  No Skies Required

  Heidi sat next to me in the back as Keifer drove us to my cabin in the mountains west of the city.

  “It’s all set up,” I said, hoping to comfort her. “He’ll have someone watching his house twenty-four hours a day.”

  “That still doesn’t solve our main problem.”

  “No, but not worrying about Dad will help both of us.”

  “Did you just call him Dad?” she asked with a smile, the first I’d seen in a while.

  “Yeah,” I said. “Does it bother you?”

  “No, not at all.”

  “I haven’t proposed to you yet…”

  “Spoiler alert!” she squealed.

  I smiled, loving her more with every minute that passed.

  * * *

  When we arrived at the two-story wood cabin I’d bought a year earlier to get away, Keifer parked. All three of us got out of the SUV.

  “Oh shit, boss. You forgot the skis,” he said.

  “It’s fine. We came here to relax.”
