Protector on Base by Ivy Noir

She came to the base searching for her future.
Then one look from Captain Weston Holt made her body feel it first.
Soft smiles, quiet strength, slow-burn tension that hits low and lingers.
She was not supposed to fall… but some men are impossible to walk away from.

He is so steady, and I feel myself steady around him too… until he looks at me.
Then my pulse jumps and my thoughts get warm and messy.
I have never felt this kind of wanting before, slow and new and a little overwhelming.
I still feel like me, but there is a spark now, curious and sweet and hungry to know what it would be like to have his hands on me.
I don’t want to rush. I just want him.
And sometimes I catch his eyes on me, and it feels like he wants it too.

I should be able to look at her without feeling this.
But one soft smile and heat hits low and deep, sharp as hunger.
I try to stay composed, to breathe slow, to be the man I am supposed to be.
Then she laughs and my body answers before my mind can stop it.
I want her warm against me, soft under my hands.
And God, I am running out of ways to pretend I do not.
