“Yes!” Maggie shouted at the same time. “This will be so awesome.”
“No grenades,” Cap said fiercely.
“Ooh! Instead of party poppers, we could throw grenades!”
“I said no grenades,” Cap reiterated.
“And a knife throwing contest,” Lola smirked.
“Only at dummies,” Cap said quickly.
“And we could use that new gear that Knight was testing out a while back!”
“That only covers the chest,” Cap said. “What if you miss?”
“I’m good with this,” I shrugged.
“No,” Cap said again, though no one was really listening to him.
“I think ten grenades per person should be sufficient,” Maggie said thoughtfully.
“We are not having grenades, and that’s final,” Cap said, putting his foot down.
“I’m sure I could find a few things to blow up,” Lola nodded.
“Is anyone fucking listening to me?” Cap snapped.
“Yeah, Cap, we heard you. But it’s Maggie,” I shrugged. “Do you really think she’s gonna listen?”
He sighed heavily, running his hand down his face. “Just don’t…let her blow off any other fingers.”

“I can’t believe you bombarded me like that,” I said to Alec, shoving him down on the bed. “You could have told me first.”
He grabbed my hips and lifted me over his waist, holding me against him. “If I had told you, you never would have shown.”
I yanked my top over my head and tossed it to the ground. “You’re damn straight I wouldn’t have gone. I hate getting together with people to celebrate.”
He sat up and pulled the cups of my bra down, pulling a nipple into his mouth. I groaned and ran my fingers through his hair, holding him against my breast. His tongue ran over my nipple, soothing the pain he caused with his bite.
“Don’t care,” he muttered against my breast. “You might not like it, but I wanted everyone to know that you’re mine.”
He bit down again, making me hiss and pull his hair hard. “Everyone already knows.”
“Doesn’t fucking matter. Not until my ring is on your finger.”
I tossed my head back and let out a gasp with every flick of his tongue against my nipples. God, he knew just what to do to drive me crazy.
“You know how I feel about that.”
“I know you don’t give a shit about marriage, but I do.”
He lifted me off him, plopping me on my feet as his fingers grasped at my jeans, yanking them down my legs. I held onto his shoulders as he tore the material from my legs and slid down to the floor between them. My eyes glazed over with need as he grinned up at me just before tearing my panties from my body and leaning forward to sniff between my legs. I felt the gush of my arousal as he moved in and swiped at my pussy.
“Oh God,” I whispered as my legs quivered.
His tongue licked and flicked, sending zaps of what felt like lightning through my body. He spread my legs further, refusing to let me slow the need building inside.
“Come on my face, Florrie.”
“I want you inside me,” I gasped.
“On my face,” he urged.
I tried to hold off, but Alec had never been one to back down from a challenge. His tongue drove me insane, and just when I thought I couldn’t take any more, he slid three fingers inside me and pumped until I was collapsing against him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder as the shivers subsided.
“Still think you can get away with not marrying me?”
I chuckled as his hand ran lazily up and down my back. “I have no problem marrying you. I just don’t want a bunch of people watching me. It freaks me out.”
“You have no problem with someone watching you shoot.”
“That’s because I’m good at shooting. Walking down an aisle in a white dress while people stare at me is totally different.”
“So, you can wear tactical gear, and instead of walking down an aisle, we’ll jump out of a plane.”
I pulled back and smiled at him. “You’d really do that for me?”
“Baby, I’d do anything to have you. I don’t give a shit where we get married, as long as in the end you’re mine.”
I stared into his eyes and did something very uncharacteristic. I let my face soften and I took his face in my hands, leaning in to press a soft kiss to his lips. This man had me heart and soul, and it was time that I started showing him how much I needed him.
My phone rang and broke the connection between us. I didn’t want to answer,
