Mission

She softly moaned, scratching his back with her nails. He was completely covered in sweat and he was breathing a little harder. He hurried his face in her hair, moaning too. She wrapped her legs around his body. The ringing of the phone sounded too loud, disturbing the atmosphere, but they let the voicemail take the message. At the moment of the orgasm, she arched, digging her nails deeper in his flesh. He withdrew, gasping for his breath. He sat at the foot of the bed and calmed his breathing. She encircled his neck with her arms, stroking his chest. She kissed his neck. He put his hand on her arm, smiling.

"My little kitty," he whispered.

"It's not my fault," the young woman protested, tightening her grip.

"Who called? Do you have any idea?"

She shrugged before stretching to take her bathrobe. She went to the bathroom and closed the door. He got to his feet, quickly pulling an old pair of jeans that hung out near the bed. Then he went to the phone. He composed the identification number to access their mailbox. He listened the message, frowning.

"Good morning, Sgt Cornwall. Present yourself to my office this afternoon around 2 o'clock. I'll be waiting for you so don't be late."

He sighed, destroying the message. The woman came out of the bathroom at this time. She saw a shadow passed over James's face. She tightened her robe around her body before crossing her arms over her chest and sighed.

"Who was it?"

"I have to report myself to Major Green this afternoon."

"I guess that's an order?"

He nodded, dropping the receiver on the bed.

"I have no choice, Milena."

He approached her and pulled her against him. Milena resisted a little before surrounding his neck with her arms. She didn't want him to leave and he knew it. He kissed her tenderly before telling her it was just a meeting. She looked away, dropping herself on the bed. He knelt before her and kissed her fingers before showing her the ring she wore.

"This ring says I'll always come back to you. Okay?"

"Okay."

"We can plan the wedding when I return. I love you. Do you know that?"

He kissed her again. She remembered that she had an appointment in the afternoon so she didn't know if she would be there when he'll be back. He asked her what kind of appointment she had because he couldn't remember. She shrugged; answering it was something for her dress.

Milena entered the doctor's office, her heart pounding. She felt very nervous. She had to lie to James. She didn't mention anything because she wasn't sure. She hoped he'll be back before her. Why Major Green should ruin that for her? The doctor walked into the small room and smiled at the young woman to make her a little more comfortable. It wasn't really working.

"Hello Milena. Relax, please."

"Dr. Anniston, can you... Do you have the results?"

Her voice trembled sin spite of all her efforts to control herself. She felt a bit agitated. Dr. Anniston sat behind her desk and put a file in front of her. She opened it, consulted it a few seconds before closing it again. Then she lifted her gaze toward the young woman and smiled.

"Calm down, Miss Trenton."

Wearing his uniform, James entered the office of Major Green, removing his cap. He wedged it under his arm before crossing his hands behind his back, standing right in front of his superior.
