Chapter Six

Falcon

Once Gina was asleep, I carefully stood and carried her to bed. She never let go of my shirt. Even in her sleep. She was breaking my fucking heart!

I lay with her cuddled against my chest for most of the remaining hours before I had to leave. It was about an hour before I needed to get up when Gina stirred against me.

“What time is it?” Her words were slurred slightly from sleep.

“Three-thirty.”

“What time do you have to leave?”

“Five.”

She raised herself slightly so she looked down at me. Moonlight spilled through the bedroom window to bathe her face in a silvery glow. She looked ethereal, almost unreal. She lay her palm against my beard-roughened cheek. Then she kissed me. It was a light pressing of lips but she lingered.

God, I’d missed her kisses. She was sweetly tentative and her lips trembled slightly against mine.

“Baby,” I whispered to her between kisses.

“I want you, Falcon.” Her voice wavered, and I thought I tasted tears on her lips. “Please.”

“I’ll pleasure you, baby, but I’m not takin’ you. Not until this is over. It wouldn’t be right.”

“Even if I asked you to?”

“Especially if you asked me to. Honey, when you come to me, when you tell me you’re ready for me to fuck you, it’s not gonna be right before I leave. And it’s especially not gonna be when you’re worried about what’s gonna happen when I get home.” Very slowly, I rolled us over and settled my weight between her legs. She eagerly wrapped hers around my waist, tempting me with what we both wanted. “When I take you, it’s gonna be with the full knowledge that I’m never letting you go, Gina. You can’t believe me when I tell you I’ll be back for you. I understand, and that’s OK.”

“I never realized how chatty you were,” she grumbled before pulling me down for another kiss.

I had to chuckle against her lips. I wanted her more than I’d ever wanted a woman in my life! That I couldn’t have her was a gnawing pain, but it was more emotional than physical. She was one more person in my life I cared for that I could let down. She was strong, but so very fragile in many ways.

“Yeah, I’m a real chatterbox.” I kissed her neck before pushing off of her. “Do you want me to make you come, Gina?”

She sucked in a breath. “You’ll fuck me?”

I gave her a wry grin. “Afraid not. But I’ll eat your pussy until you scream. If that’s what you want.”

Looking away from me, Gina bit her bottom lip. I was afraid I might have pushed her too far, then she raised her arms to me and wound them around my neck. “I think I want that more than just about anything right now.”

Her words sent a shiver of anticipation down my spine. “Take off your shirt and shorts for me, baby. Your underwear too. Let me see your beautiful body.”

As she wiggled out of her clothes, I took the moment to whip off my shirt. I couldn’t fuck her, but I could press her naked body to mine. I needed the skin to skin contact with her. Even if it was only for a short time.

Once she was naked, I lowered myself to her, feeling the heat of her body rise to meet mine. The room was silent except for the soft rustle of the sheets and our mingled breaths. Carefully, I kissed her again, deeply, drinking in the moment, knowing it might need to last me through the coming days.

“Hold onto me,” I murmured against her lips, and she did, her fingers threading through my hair, pulling me closer.

I trailed kisses down her neck, each one a promise, a memory I wanted her to cling to while I was gone. By the time I reached her breasts, she was breathing heavily, her body arching toward me as if pulled by some magnetic force. My hands roamed over her skin, memorizing every curve and dip as though they were topography I needed to navigate by heart.

When my mouth finally found its way between her legs, Gina gasped sharply. Her grip on my hair tightened and her hips canted to my mouth.

“Mmm…” I hummed against her pussy, swiping my tongue from pussy to clit.

“Falcon!”

I smiled, feeling a mix of triumph and tenderness as I kissed her pussy once more. “That’s my girl,” I murmured. The mood shifted from heavy emotion to a gentler, more intimate connection as I prepared to make good on my promise of making her come.

Gina’s breath hitched in anticipation as she watched me, her eyes dark with desire and something more -- maybe hope, maybe fear. I could taste the urgency of this moment, knowing it was critical not only for the pleasure it promised but also for the reassurance I hoped to give her.

Every touch was calculated to comfort and excite as I traced my fingers along her inner thighs, eliciting shivers and soft moans that fueled my own desires. But tonight, it wasn’t about my needs. It was all for Gina, to give her something pure and unrestrained.

As I focused on her, everything else faded away -- the looming mission, the uncertainty of what lay ahead -- all of it dissolved into the background. All that mattered was Gina and the connection that pulsed between us, electric and undeniable.

I intensified my attention, circling and flicking her clit with precision, guided by her sharp intakes of breath and the way her body moved against me. Her hands in my hair grew more insistent, urging me closer. She was about to come. I could feel the tension coiling tightly within her.

“Gina,” I whispered against her skin, my voice rough with desire and an aching tenderness. “Let go for me, baby.”

Her response was a strangled cry, her body arching as she reached that crest. She screamed, a sound that echoed off the walls and reverberated deep in my chest. Her climax washed over her in waves, and I held her through it all, my mouth still working gently to bring her down as softly as I could.

She cried out again, a sound mingled with my name and something like relief. In the aftermath, she lay trembling, her breaths coming in jagged sighs.

I pressed a gentle kiss to her bare mound before I crawled up beside her, our sweaty torsos sticking slightly as I pulled her into my arms. She nestled against my chest, still catching her breath. Her fingers traced idle patterns on my skin as we both lay there in the quiet.

“I’m scared,” she whispered after a while. Her voice was so faint I might have missed it if not for the stillness of the room. “I don’t want to lose you.”

“I know you’re scared. You’re not gonna lose me, honey. Not as long as you’ll have me.” My hand stroked her hair in long, slow strokes. It soothed me. Like petting a contented kitten. “I swear it.”

“You don’t know that. What if she has a perfectly reasonable explanation and wants you back? What if she needs you?”

“Like I said, baby. She had any number of opportunities to let me know she was alive if she’d wanted to. Before she went over there to infiltrate that cell, anyway.”

“Sounds like she’s a hero.” Gina didn’t sound wistful or anything, just resigned.

“Yeah. If what Rocket was told is true, then yes. She is.”

“You know, I can never be that kind of woman. I’m not built for it.”

“Did anyone say you had to be a covert operative to be a hero? Sunshine and Rainbow think you’re a hero. Effie and Aneshya think you’re a hero. Luke too.”

“I don’t know about that. They like my cookies.”

“You think that’s why all of them, even Luke, are at your house several times a week begging for cooking lessons? Aneshya swears she’s gonna be a chef. Effie says she’s going to open her own bakery when she grows up. And Lemon caught Luke building a Cookies and Lemonade stand for the girls. You don’t think they’d have been so excited about all that if you hadn’t come into their lives, do you?”

She shrugged. “They might have.”

I chuckled and pulled her closer. “No, baby. They wouldn’t. Now. I need to get ready. I’ll come say goodbye before I leave. Let Lemon look after you. She’ll never admit it, but I think she needs to mother everyone. You’ll be doing me a favor because if she’s fussing over you, I might get started on this mission without her calling me Pigeon Nuts in front of anyone.” As I’d hoped, that got a small laugh from her. “That wasn’t much, but I’ll take it.” I smiled before kissing her once more, then heading to the bathroom to get ready.

Thirty minutes later, dressed and my duffle packed, I sat on the edge of the bed and once again, stroking my hand down the length of Gina’s hair. She blinked up at me, tears glistening in her lovely, copper-colored eyes.

“Be safe while I’m gone.”

“You’re the one going into danger. You be safe. I’ll be fine in the compound.”

“I’m telling Rocket and Lemon you’re my old lady. The club would look after you anyway, but if something happens to me, I want it official so there’s no pushback.” Then I frowned. “Except Lemon won’t allow there to be pushback. But I still want you to have my protection. So, while I’m gone, I’ll have Lemon put in an order for your property cut.”

Gina didn’t really look convinced, but I could see how badly she wanted this. Wanted to be mine. I knew she was nervous. Under normal circumstances I’d never leave her for something like this. Especially not when our relationship was this new. But I couldn’t let this go. I might not have known Joilyn was part of my team, but she still was. Which, in my mind, made it my responsibility to get her back. And I would. I was done letting down people I cared about.

“I’ll look forward to it,” she said softly, giving me a sad smile.

“Good. Get some rest. I’ll be back before you know it.”
