Jasmine's pov

2 months later...

It's officially been two months since Armando's kissed me. And it definitely wasn't the last. Ever since then, we couldn't keep our hands off one another. To the point where I'd be visiting him everyday of the week. But I was starting to think Marcus was catching on to us. Which would be very messy, giving he already warned me to not do anything with Armando. A whole hour long speech actually, and then some.

I reload my clip before taking 3 deep breaths. And at the 3rd exhale I turn around shoot 3 bullets into my target. He groans hitting the ground and dropping his weapon. I sigh, cuffing the man and drag him out the abandoned building.

"We're closing in on the location! Prepare for takedown." Mike says over the com. Hearing agreement from the rest of the team. I sigh before finally clicking on my com.

"Guys I already took them down. Got the leader alive. I'm outside." I say before turning it off. After a minute, I see Kelly, Mike, Marcus, Rafe, and Rita emerge from the building. Mike and Rita sporting a disappointed face.

"That was badass Lil B." Marcus tells me ruffling my hair. I smile at him and give Kelly a high five. But I'm greeted with a stern look from Mike.

"Why do you never wait for the team? And why do you never have your damn earpiece in?" Mike says angrily. His tone causes me the fight the urge to roll my eyes. He should be used to me not following the rules by now. It's not my style.

"I always go off on my own. I'm the most qualified person for these type of jobs." I say irritatedly. This was already blowing my nerves and I was ready to go. I wasn't really in a lecture mood.

"Jasmine. You could've been hurt. Or worse-"

I launch my knife in his direction. It goes straight past him and into the hand of our hostage who was trying to reach for a gun. Everyone in the group goes silent. I was undoubtedly the most skilled person in this group. It was why Captain Howard never usually put me with a team. It usually only slowed me down. And as if on cue, Dorn pulls up with the van. And I take off in its direction. Leaving them all there. I wasn't in the mood for no type of team talk from Rita either I was ready to go to sleep and forget about everybody.

...

I finish applying my skincare when my phone rings. I look as the screen reads 'My Favorite Uncle'.

"Hey Marcus, how you doing?" I say exiting the bathroom. Putting my slippers on.

"How you doing Jas? I know they was doing a lot on today's mission." He says. The sincerity in his voice made me feel loved.

"I'm fine. Its just the group work isn't very interesting or challenging for me. I'm tired of the lectures about teamwork for those baby missions." I get out. Feeling a weight lifted off my chest. I'd only spoken those thoughts with Armando who understood what I was saying. But Marcus made me feel heard and appreciated. Like the dad I wished I had.

"Baby girl it's gon be ok. I get it, and I'm gonna talk to Mike. Don't worry about it." Marcus says soothingly. I fight back the emotion threatening to consume me. The feeling of being reassured was something I valued.

"Thank you. It means so much to me." I whisper fighting the tears prickling at my eyes.

"You know I got you, so don't cry. Plus that lil boy was asking about y-"

"What did he say???" I say a little quicker than intended. So I cough to mask my excitement and eagerness.

"Y'all better not be into no shit Jasmine."

"We are notttt"

"He was asking where you was at and how you were doing." Marcus finished. I go on mute and squeal, jumping up and down.

"Um ok. That's cool." I responded coolly. I was already slipping on a jacket and my flip flops.

"You better not be going to the prison. It's closed." Marcus says in his dad voice.

"Pfttt. Why would I do that? I'm getting in the bed." I lie grabbing my glasses off the nightstand.

"Mhm. You better not go hacking into no systems. Theresa wants to see you tomorrow too so stop by."

"Ok!"

...

"I hacked into the system so they wouldn't know I was here." I tell Armando as we walk into my office. He chuckles shaking his head and closing the door. I take off my jacket revealing my pjs. Which were some transformers fluffy shorts and a white crop top. I hear Armando behind me.

"Oh god..." he mumbles. I turn around and give him a hug. His arms immediately wrap around me and pulls me impossibly closer. I smile into him as he peppers kisses on the side of my neck.

"Your tense amor. Was work hard today?" He whispers into my ear, walking us to the couch. I shrug before he sits down. And I follow, sitting on his lap. He massages my waist before saying,

"Words Jasmine." Which had my dirty mind spiraling into so many different scenarios. He was just so alluring.

"Kinda not really." I dismiss before slowly peppering kisses on his neck. He leans his neck to the side giving me more access. I go slow, licking and sucking. Until he's a moaning mess beneath me. He slowly pushes up into me making me pause. I face him looking into his lust filled eyes. I know he was struggling to maintain focus and control. It made me smirk. So I continue and kiss his lips, as he rocks my hips to his. He whimpers bellow me which causes me to smile against his lips.

"No amor, I wanna hear more about your day," He says sitting me up on his lap. I roll my eyes but smile at his cuteness.

"Yeah, go ahead and tell me about it princesa." He says relaxing into the couch.
