Hot SEALs: A Mission of Love (A Hot SEALs / CSA Case Files Crossover) (Kindle Worlds) (4 page)

“Next time we’ll try the butt plug…just for fun,” Schultz murmured against her lips, kissing away what air she’d taken in. He had the ability to be the only person in her universe and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Julia was standing on her feet, but he quickly turned her around so that she was leaning over his desk. He’d somehow managed to use her panties to hook her hands once more to the handle of the drawer, keeping her in place. “And maybe even another spanking. I introduced you to that exploit last week and you seemed to enjoy it immensely.”

Julia rested her cheek against the cool wood, hiding her smile. She had enjoyed that spanking he’d given her and she wouldn’t mind another one, although she wasn’t so certain she could take one now. It didn’t appear that he was hankering to give her one at the moment either, but he was caressing her butt. She wiggled and even managed to laugh when she felt his teeth lightly settle into her flesh.

“Always testing me,” Schultz scolded playfully, pulling away from her. It wasn’t long until she heard foil tearing, indicating he was putting on a condom. Her body intuitively reacted to the sound and it was as if she hadn’t even experienced her release. His warm hands grasped her hips and he placed his tip at her entrance. “Just imagine how this would feel with that new toy lodged inside of your ass, sweetheart.”

SCHULTZ LOVED HAVING Julia at his mercy this way, her pleasure being voiced with each cry of his name falling from her lips. He’d always dabbled in the lifestyle, although his career made it almost impossible to attend the kink clubs he’d visited in his younger days. Due to the unique career path inherent to the intelligence game, his life early on hadn’t been under the close scrutiny that politicians had to endure. But once you started to rub shoulders with them, the glass house included anyone the reporters could exploit. Discovering that Julia had a somewhat submissive side in the bedroom caused his dominant side to come out to explore their limits.

It was apparent that Julia expected him to drive his cock into her, but he slowly worked his way inside of her instead. Julia was so wet that he had no problem making his way in, although she’d mentioned on numerous occasions that it was the width of him that took some getting used to. He closed his eyes when her pussy stretched to accept him, hearing her sharp inhalation as she endured the burn she had come to crave. He held himself still when he felt his sac draw up into his body, indicating his anticipated release.

“Raise up on your tiptoes so that you can take all of me,” Schultz instructed in a rather hoarse voice, unable to hide the fact that he was just as affected by this as she was. He looked down at her to see the graceful way she had to wrap her fingers underneath the lip of his desk so that she had something to hold on to. She used her grip to assist in standing on her tiptoes and he instantly slid even deeper. “That’s right. All of me.”

Schultz pulled out of her just as slowly as he’d entered her, each inch somehow managing to glide over that sweet spot he’d been massaging for the past…he’d lost track of time. Julia moaned in dissatisfaction when he leisurely glided his cock back into her. The torturous pace was liable to kill both of them, but it was a hell of a way to go.

“Schultz, please,” Julia pleaded softly, shifting until she was resting her forehead against the desk. His gaze traveled down her back, loving the sensual arch to her spine as she lifted her ass higher. He’d contemplated stopping so that he could retrieve the plug he’d purchased a while ago, but they both needed this intimacy after what they’d dealt with this morning. That type of play would come later. “I need to come again.”

“You will,” Schultz promised, continuing the slow pace as he drove into her. He fought the urge to come with each time the underside of his cock rubbed against her entrance, but he refused to rush this. “Enjoy the ride, Julia.”

“Hmmmm,” Julia groaned as she tried to back into him. Schultz held her steady and never wavered the speed in which he took her. Wanting her to have the utmost pleasure, he lifted her slightly higher to where her tiptoes could just touch the ground. He rested her carefully against the edge, knowing the moment her clit made contact with the cool surface. “Too much…”

“It could never be too much,” Schultz said soothingly, knowing that each time he steadily drove his cock inside of her that her clit was being moved against the smooth cool wood of the desktop. He added pressure by resting his right hand on her lower back. “Breathe through the pleasure and accept it.”

Schultz gradually increased the pace. Julia’s cries were echoing off of the office walls as he kept her on edge, not allowing her to fall off of that precipice. He would have loved to be able to play with her nipples, aware that she enjoyed the extra stimulation right before she came. This position made that impossible and the idea of nipple clamps initiated more enticing visions. He decided they’d both waited long enough and shifted until he had both hands on her hips, allowing him to drive into her over and over at a steadily increasing pace.

The walls of her pussy clamped down on his cock as Julia’s orgasm began, massaging his shaft and triggering his own release. Schultz didn’t stop until they were both satiated and he was on his elbows, placing small kisses on her shoulder blade. Her head was now turned toward him so that he saw her fulfillment when she opened her luminous blue eyes. They were shining with happiness and he never wanted to see anything else replace that, reminding him that he did need to check on the progress his contacts had made regarding the person who thought it was a smart idea to blackmail the lover of a Special Assistant to the National Security Advisor.

“Let’s get cleaned up,” Schultz said soothingly, not wanting to end the intimacy between them quite yet. He flicked the fabric off of the handle, tossing her panties to the side after sliding them off of her wrists. He also managed to release her bra, which had been holding her breasts up for his enjoyment when she’d been positioned on her back. Julia rose up on her palms, but he had her flipped over and in his arms before she could do much else. “We’ll soak in the tub for a while.”

“Hmmm, we still need to talk about—”

“Not now,” Schultz interrupted her, not wanting to ruin this moment. He understood now exactly why Julia had chosen to keep him in the dark, but that didn’t mean he had to like it. It wasn’t her place to make decisions for him, at least not yet. It was his right to use any means necessary to protect what was theirs, even utilizing his position if necessary. It would be something they’d have to resolve at a later time and not when they’d just finished making love. They would have to promise each other that no matter how severe the situation became…they would always be open and honest, making decisions together. “Relax, Julia.”

Schultz took her into his bathroom, which was across the apartment and through his master suite. The large sized room had a walk-in shower with two built-in tiled seats that they normally used together, but he thought they could use some additional respite by soaking in the massive oval garden tub that he’d had built for two people. He had always enjoyed holding a woman in his arms as he took care of her after such a scene.

It wasn’t long until he’d taken care of the used condom and had steam rising out of the white bubbles. Julia was now lying against his chest, pliant in his arms. He used the remote control that he always kept close at hand to lower the lighting to a golden hue and add some soulful music to help ease the rest of Julia’s stress. She was allowing him to take care of her, but her mind was starting to spin now that reality was intruding on their small respite.

“I love you, too.”

Schultz couldn’t help but smile as he said the words, the moment coming sooner than he’d anticipated. Nothing had gone as planned in the proposal area and honestly, that was something he’d been used to back when he’d been in the military. Nothing ever went as planned and as his friend, Gavin Crest, always drilled into his team of investigators… improvise, adapt, and overcome. Julia had shifted so that her head tilted up toward his and her blue eyes shone with affection.

“I honestly hadn’t meant to blurt it out like that,” Julia commented a little sheepishly, the corner of her lips turning up into a radiant smile. “Not that I regret the end result.”

“I have no regrets either,” Schultz murmured, leaning down and brushing his lips across hers. He lifted the loofah off the indention on the side of the tub and dipped it into the water, gathering as many bubbles as he could. He gently started to wash the front of her, adjusting her against his chest so that she was more comfortable. “I’ve known from the moment I set eyes on you that you would change my life forever.”

“Have I?” Julia asked with curiosity, lifting her arms out of the water so that he could wash them. The bubbled liquid caressed her skin and made him want to start loving her all over again. He held himself in check due to the fact that he had to call into the office soon. This evening was another matter all together and he looked forward to using the new toy he’d purchased. “You’ve definitely changed mine.”

“I’m very career focused, but having you in my life has made me see that there are more important things.” Schultz ran the loofah down Julia’s thigh and she immediately lifted her right leg out of the water and set her foot on the edge. The movement highlighted her calf muscle and visions of her legs wrapped around his waist floated through his mind. She was very sensual and her salacious appetite matched his own. Their sexual attraction was only a part of their multi-faceted commitment. “You’ve become my anchor, Julia. Every decision I make is influenced by how it will affect us. I’m no longer a party of one. I’ve never put a woman on equal footing alongside my duty to this country until you. You’re part of my personal perspective.”

Schultz continued to glide the cream sponge over Julia’s skin as he allowed his words to sink in. Would she understand the weight of what he’d just admitted? There wasn’t a member of his family—male or female—that hadn’t dedicated their lives to the United States of America. The sense of gratitude they felt for their independence went above and beyond, sending a sighting call out to each of them they couldn’t ignore. He was no different, although he had witnessed love transform relationships. Julia was cut from the same type of cloth and that only supplemented each other’s strengths.

“You mean more to me than I could ever convey in words, Julia,” Schultz admitted, baring his soul the way he’d wanted to for a while now. He dropped the loofah and folded his arms around her waist, pulling her as close to him as he could and resting his cheek against hers. The words spilled out before he could stop them, not caring that they were in a tub full of white foamed bubbles. “I love you, Julia. I want to spend the rest of my life by your side, walking hand in hand with you through the years ahead. I want to watch our children grow with you as their mother guiding their way. I want to watch your laugh lines grow into beautiful contours around those eyes that suck me in every time you look my way. I want you telling me stories about our lives when we’re old and gray on the porch of our house up in the Hamptons, thinking the entire time that I couldn’t have been more blessed that you were the woman to join me in that journey. Julia Melina, would you be my wife? Will you walk by my side through the good and the bad, sharing with me every fear you have so that I can do my best to be your champion?”

Schultz’s heartbeat remained steady, having no doubt now that their love would triumph over any obstacle in their way. This situation they’d been dealt had tried to put a crack in their foundation, but they’d overcome it. It was as if he could feel the fibers of their trust intertwine and strengthen. Julia had done her best to protect him, just as he would have done for her. They’d learned that together they were stronger than anything or anyone trying to break them apart.

Julia slowly turned in his arms, straddling him underneath the water and placing her arms around his neck. Her blue eyes were brimming with unshed tears and for a moment his heartbeat stopped, only to slam into his chest when she caressed his face with her warm wet fingers. He did smile as the shot of adrenaline quickly faded. She would most certainly keep life interesting.

“Yes, Schultz,” Julia whispered, one tear falling down her beautiful face. He wiped it away with his thumb, making a promise to himself that he would never be the reason she would cry unless it was in happiness. “I will marry you. I will walk by your side, holding your hand as we watch our children grow up loving and respecting our country the way we do ourselves. Your loyalty and integrity make you who you are and I would be honored to call you my husband.”

Schultz pulled Julia closer so that he could properly kiss her, wishing he’d had the engagement ring that had taken him weeks to pick out. He’d ended up getting it custom made with a two-carat diamond surrounded by smaller sapphires. His intention to retrieve it went by the wayside when he could hear his cell phone chiming from the bedroom. They both groaned, not wanting to end this moment and yet knowing there were still things unresolved in both their days.

“I wish we were able to continue this, but that’s most likely the call I’ve been waiting for,” Schultz explained, cupping her face and kissing her once more. Julia nodded in acceptance, but the sparkle had dimmed in her blue eyes. It wasn’t an image he wanted to see and by nightfall, she wouldn’t have to worry about this situation any longer. He would see to it personally that the person responsible wouldn’t have the use of his or her fingers to send those photographs to the news outlets. “Stay here and enjoy the bath.”

Schultz unfolded his large frame after Julia had shifted to the side. He stood, the warm water cascading down his body as he reached for one of the plush white towels he’d set aside for them. He quickly dried himself off before wrapping the now damp material around his waist. He walked into the bedroom, but the ringing had ceased by the time he’d reached his phone. It hadn’t been the agent he was utilizing. He dialed Jon back and then walked over to his closet.

“We’ve worked things out,” Schultz said when his friend picked up the phone on the second ring. He multitasked between holding the phone to his ear and choosing a suit from his Zegna collection. “As for the situation…I’m having an old associate at NSA operations work on that other angle we discussed on my ride back to the city.”

Schultz had decided to keep Jon employed on this little side mission that Julia had already initiated with their friend, mostly because he still had access to several vital contacts while having another colleague investigate on a more personal level. This extortionist was either targeting them for personal or business reasons and Schultz wasn’t willing to rule anyone or any agency out quite yet.

“Where are you?” Jon asked in a curt tone, which immediately set Schultz on edge as he finished putting his briefs on. He quickly gathered the rest of his clothes and completed dressing as fast as he could, leaving his shirt unbuttoned. He didn’t even bother with a tie or jacket. He rarely carried these days, especially with so many Secret Service protective detail agents at his disposal, but he eyed his biometric safe where he kept his Kimber Compact CDP II. As Crest always stated…never bring a weapon to a gunfight where the caliber doesn’t start with a four. “And please tell me that Julia is with you.”
