SEAL Team Connor and Logan

"I'm here to fuck you." She watched me from the bed as I approached her, eyes wide, not with fear as much as with uncertainty. After all, I hadn't given her any indication in all the months of her teasing and flirtations that I was the least bit interested. I kept my feelings well hidden from her and everyone else around me. "If you're attached to whatever that is that you're wearing, I suggest you take it off because it's going to be in shreds in a second." She made some sort of noise in her throat that was cut off when my mouth came down hard on hers. She was sweet and soft, just the way I knew she would be, which is why I'd avoided her thus far. A woman like her has no call being with a man like me. She's sweet tea and pecan pie on a southern porch on a hot summer day. I'm pizza and beer. She's cashmere and pearls in the back of a chauffeur-driven limo and I'm leathers and jeans on the back of a chopper. I tried for her sake to leave her alone. No

"Cum for me, Danielle." I latched onto her neck and bit down hard before sucking her skin into my mouth. She screamed, and I felt her warm juices flood my cock; that's all I needed to go off inside her hard and long. We were both out of breath, both panting for air, and I couldn't move. She'd done me in, sucked everything out of me. "I knew it, I fucking knew it." I rolled off of her but kept her in my arms. I couldn't even bring myself to let her go, not yet. "Are you mad that we made love again?" I looked down at her question. She seemed a bit confused, as she very well should be. I didn't even know what the fuck was going on, and I'd thought I had it all figured out. "That wasn't lovemaking, babe; that was a branding." The question is, who the fuck branded who? I pulled her out of bed and headed for the shower. We washed each other in between kisses. Had I ever done this before? Why did she make me want to do sappy shit? What was it about her that

The houses were done in a year and a half. We couldn't do everything ourselves because of our duties, but we'd worked on each other's places when we had downtime, and that had sped up the process quite a bit. Six months after we'd settled in and hung out our shingle, so to speak, we'd caught wind of the shit that was going on around us. There's no way in hell we're going to let shit like that take root in our backyard. After years of fighting and danger, the name of the game was peace and quiet. Now for me, that shit had been amped up a notch. I have a woman to protect. I don't want this shit anywhere near her, so the sooner we got to the bottom of whatever this was, the better. The town's people, after realizing that we weren't here to start shit, had pretty much accepted us with open arms. Well, most of them had anyway, and as far as they knew, we were navy men. No one knew what faction we'd been working for, as that shit tended to be top secret for

We put aside all the bullshit as we got to work. The foundation had already been laid, and the outer walls built up with reinforced steel. Logan had made the call to go back to the old way of doing things. It cost a lot more, but once we explained things to the owners, they were more than willing to fork over the money. This area was prone to hurricanes and a rogue tornado or two over the last decade. When other matchstick buildings would blow in the wind, we were building this one to last. We were building the first thing to be erected in Briarwood since the fifties or some shit, so there was a lot of interest from the town's folk. There was a new business whose headquarters were in Atlanta, but it was cheaper for them to have offices here since Real Estate prices were insane these days. The head guy is some type of oil tycoon or some shit with offices all over the south and Midwest. He's already making noises about hiring us to do some other jobs for him becau

The boys were nowhere to be seen when we pulled in, but I was sure the nosy fucks had us within their sights. She looked around in surprise, which was understandable. Not too many people knew what existed behind these walls. We'd built them that way purposely, our own little haven away from everything and everyone else. It just made people more curious, but that was easier to deal with than being out in the open feeling exposed. It was going to be fun to see how I did living with someone else. Pretty sure it was gonna take some getting used to. She wasn't anything like my brothers; I might have to brush up on my etiquette and shit. I got out and helped her out of the truck before getting started on her million and one bags. "Welcome home, Danielle." I hugged her loosely around her middle and stole a kiss before setting her aside. Nosy fuckers were probably snickering behind windows and shit. If any of them came out here, I'd flatten the fucker. "This i
