The next chapters maybe even to the end will all be in Aidan’s point of view. Just a few chapters left before this book ends.
AIDAN
“Chase, I like you. I feel so deeply for you but we don’t know each other to the extent of moving in together”
Sergeant Chase just asked me to go home with her after graduation and my little heart lapped up, jumped up, exploded and settled in my chest again before I could respond.
Of course I wanted to but I did not know Sergeant Chase on a deeper level to live with her. Damn I did not even have a home but still.
“Then we can get to know each other before graduation. Look Aidan. I know this is rushed but I’m not leaving this place without you”
She had this expression. Dark and alert. Her eyes were super focused on our surroundings and sounds. Something that indicated danger but we were on a military camp and this was Sergeant Chase. She had nothing to be scared of.
Then I stared harder and maybe it was not about her…maybe.
“Why the sudden decision?. You didn’t even ask me to be your girlfriend” I crossed my arms with a disappointed pout
“I did”
“No you did not. I would definitely remember something like that happening”
“In the jungle on our way back. I said you were mine” She spoke so sure in her words that I could have easily believed her if the topic was not about our relationship.
“Are you serious?. Yes, I maybe yours but you have to ask me to be your girlfriend or wife or just a title to our relationship. Hell, I don’t even know if we have a fucking relationship” I snapped flying my hands everywhere with an attitude.
“Watch that mouth Aidan. Don’t forget who you are talking to” Sergeant Chase warned which put me in my place real quick.
“I’m sorry” I mumbled suddenly feeling ashamed.
As much as I had my bratty moments. I was always aware and cautious of my respect for Chase. I never went to far and we had an unspoken rule that hinted towards our roles In the relationship.
Besides, I was a bottom for crying out loud.
“Okay, come here. I have a solution”
She grabbed my hand and moved us to her bedroom. She grabbed her blanket, spread it on the floor then placed two pillows. I watched her wondering what she was doing.
She removed her pants and sat down on the now covered floor.
“Come on, join me” The woman patted her side.
I copied what she had done leaving me in my draws and sports bra. If I got the chance, I was definitely going to buy myself lingerie and show Sergeant Chase how sexy I was.
“What are we doing?” I giggled going to sit beside her.
“We are going to talk about everything. I want to know you and I want you to know me. Then we can move in together” Sergeant Chase stated seriously as if it was a fact.
“Oh god” I giggled cheeks red from blushing. She really wanted me in her home?.
Yeah I could change my course of life to serving my sexy Drill Sergeant for the rest of my life.
If Sergeant Chase gave me head one more time before asking, I was definitely going to say yes.
“Okay then. What do we start with?” I grabbed her hand and placed it in my lap so I could play with her fingers.
“Easy introductions I guess.” She was relaxed with her head resting on the side of the bed.
“I’m Aidan Black. I’m 19 years old. Uhh my mom was Indian and my father was American. I was raised in Iraq where my mother’s family was from. Then I came back to America when I was 10”
Chase was so attentive, listening to every word as if we were sharing some deep secrets.
“I’m so curious about you” She rubbed my knuckles gently before connecting our eyes again.
“No Chase. We are getting to know each other so it’s your turn” I demanded but with a soft voice.
“Hmm whatever you say babygirl.” My face became hot and I couldn’t help but smile.
Ugh I was so whipped.
“I’m Chase Dominic. I am 33 years old….”
“You are 33!!” I kinda blurted out in shock.
“Yeah. You are too young for me I’m aware.” She shrugged her shoulders.
“I’m sorry for my reaction. It’s not that. I kinda thought you were 26 or something because you look that young” I was so ashamed of my reaction.
“I guess that’s a compliment or you are bad at guessing people’s age”
“I am not. Tell me more about you. Sorry for interrupting”
“You are fine. Uh I have been in the military for 12 years. I am bad at this sharing thing” She groaned scratching the side of her cheek with her free hand.
“Tell me about your family” I decided to help through the conversation.
I had just learned something about my favorite person. She was not a talker when it came to the personal department.
“My parents. They live in Georgia. We don’t have the greatest relationship but they love me still. I was the only child. What about your family?”
“My grandmother was my family. I know that must be strange but the ten years I spent living with her were the best even during the violent place we lived in. After she died, I was brought back to America so I could reunite with my parents but they umm…”
I was scared to say it. To tell Chase the truth because it was embarrassing. I didn’t want her to see me the way they saw me.
“You can tell me everything. Nothing will scare me away Okay?” Chase brought my hand to her lips and placed a kiss on my skin.
I felt myself calm down instantly.
“They rejected me. They looked right in my face and told me they didn’t want me anymore. They never did. I think the reason they sent me to Iraq was because they hoped I would die there with the war and all” I placed my head on the side of her shoulder looking for comfort.
Which she gave by grabbing me by the waist and placing me in her lap then hugged me. Being physically connected to Chase was easy for me. I craved her comfort despite my hate for anybody else’s physical touch.
“I have met my share of foolish blind people in my life but the people who birthed you…they have so far taken the most foolish people trophy”
That really cheered me up. I chuckled.
“Why?”
“Because they lost you. Someone so unique and amazing. I have known you for a few weeks and I’m already crazy possessive over you to the extent I want you to move in with me and live with me where I can keep a close eye on you. Because rare things only come once in life and if I lose you…”
Oh god.
Oh my god.
Ugh fuck I’m definitely in love with Chase.
“Baby, why are you crying?” She pushed my chin up so I was looking up to her.
“I have never been valued. Nobody has ever said something like..that to me. I am sorry for being emotional. I’m usually tough”
Ugh damn tears.
I felt overwhelmed because she sounded so genuine. Chase really liked me back and she was possessive of me. I was wanted.
Someone wanted me.
Maybe I had a low self esteem and I was being pathetic but after my parents rejected me and the man who adopted me threw me away. I felt like nobody wanted me in their life. Nobody could ever genuinely like me or want me around.
People had used me for what they wanted and threw me away when I had no purpose for them.
It fucked me up.
Now here I was, in the arms of someone I loved and she wanted me. How could I not cry?.
“Oh please. The second you see me, you become a baby” Chase wiped away my tears.
“I can’t help it” I chuckled one last tear falling from my cheek.
“I love that you feel safe with me. I will never take advantage of your vulnerability and I just want you to let me keep you safe and treat you how you deserve to be treated. You don’t have to feel like you should be tough.”
“But I’m a soldier and…”
“I respect that Aidan but you are also a person. A person with emotions, an amazing personality or may I say personalities but…”
“Hold up, are you calling me crazy” I glared at the woman who tried to distract me by kissing my lips.
“I would never.” She made her voice deep on purpose and I just folded shivering from the effect.
“We can continue to know each other but my answer is yes” I wrapped my arms around her neck smiling so hard.
“Yes what?”
“Yes I will go home with you after graduation”
