The Sniper's Heart

Chpater 4

My body is hot as I walk slowly back to base behind Shortcake. Her strides are long and hurried, not bothering to utter a word to any of the soldiers walking by. I can see her sunburned neck and grind my teeth at the fact that she didn't even consider the health of herself while "training". They all glance at her, trying to start some type of conversation but she sends them all glares and they snap their mouths shut.

My eyes wander down her body, enjoying every moment that I can get. She doesn't even realize how good she is. She is the best sniper I've ever worked with. And she thinks she needs to sit in the scorching hot sun for who fucking knows how long for "training"? I think the fuck not. I can't help it. With her...I just want to strangle her, shout at her, shake her around, fuck her hard, hear my name leave her lips on a scream, watch her eyes roll to the back of her head in pleasure. Fuck, this woman. She's got it all and doesn't even realize it.

Long, sexy legs and well built thighs. A beautiful ass and wide hips, that dip in for a place to hold on to. Her waist nips in softly at the top of her hip bone and it looks fucking delightful to grab. Her shoulders are wide, long arms strong and steady. Her tits? Fuck me. Perfect handfuls. Not too big, like surgery big, but the perfect size that just naturally fits to the size and shape of her body. Her neck is long, her jawline feminine but so fucking defined, lips so kissable and a scarred nose. She has a long scar that trails like a dash across her face. It starts at her right eyebrow and travels just scarce of her eye and across her nose before stopping at the bottom of her jaw on the left side. Her eyebrow is cut around the scar and it looks fucking sexy as hell. Her eyes are sharp, no detail left unnoticed. Up close, she has very faded freckles, that would almost be cute if she wasn't a soldier with deadly aim and a sharp trigger.

She speeds up, the sniper bouncing against her ass with her pace, the deadly gun staring back at me as I follow her, unaware of the meeting rooms location. My team and I haven't been here long enough to learn our way around this base yet. Other soldiers quickly dodge Miss sexy as she marches through the halls, her attitude something that everyone is pulled towards. You would notice this sexy woman from another state if you knew how to sense her. Her whole body is stiff as she turns her head around and glares at me before coming to a stop in front of the familiar looking door. She gives it a quick shove and walks in.

I enter in behind her and see the difference in soldiers all around the table. One is a smaller man, and very lean. One is tall and bulky, like a bullet couldn't even pierce his chest. Another is an average height and weight but the look in his eye is deadly, like he could convince war on another country at the drop of a hat. Captain Hersh is sitting at the end of the table, a grim look on his face as the other lieutenants talk to each other, sharing glances and looks.

Shortcake doesn't even bother taking a seat, she stands, crossing her arms across her chest and popping her hip out, sweeping her gaze across the men in the room. The only female solider in this base, and the only female lieutenant. Fucking hot as hell.

Hersh locks eyes with me as the door clicks closed behind me and he clears his throat, the silence in the room thick with tension. I pull out the chair next to Shortcake and sit down, purposefully brushing my hand across the back of her thigh as I go. She sucks in a sharp breath but says nothing. Not even a glance my way.

Captain Hersh lets out a harsh breath, running a frustrated hand through his greying hair. "I just got a new mission in," he grunts and Shortcake tenses beside me. "What the hell? Captain, I thought we were off the hook for a month?" She starts, slapping a hand down on the counter, her sniper shifting across her back. He looks up at her and shakes his head, "Fallon," she pauses and her shoulders lock, "This mission could be deadly, there is high risk of death. We are the only base in the military at this point capable of coming close to successfully completing this task."
