Mark came in right behind her. His green eyes met mine then they went to Credo's arms and they hardened.

Mina Point of View

I shoved Credo from behind me and he stumbled then retained his balance.

"Captain Astraba I've been looking all over for you," Princess Farah purred. I'm sure she was happy with this situation. "This is Commander Mark Piers of the United States of America army. I'm sure my father told you of him and your assignment today."

"Yes Princess." Credo answered with a slight bow of his head.

"I'll leave you to it then," The Princess squeezed Marks arms then released him. "I'll see you later Commander." She glanced at me then smirked and left.

The room was tense. Mark hadn't move from his position and neither had I.

Credo moved towards him and stuck his hand out. "Pleased to meet you Commander," Mark looked him up and down once then shook his hand.

Both Men had firm grips while they sized each other up. "Same," He muttered then his eyes found mine. "Allow me to speak to her for a minute then I will meet you outside. I can't find something that she put away while cleaning my room."

Credo nodded then turned to me. "See you around sweet cheeks." He smiled then left the room.

When the door closed Mark pinned me against a wall within seconds, his hand found my face covering yanked it off in one go. His lips soon found mine and I could feel all the anger in had within him as he kissed me. His tongue entered my mouth and my mouth felt as if it was scorching. Both his hands found my hips and hoisted me up so that I had my legs wrapped around him.

He squeezed my butt cheeks and groaned into the kiss. Our tongues fought for dominance which he won. After a few minutes he nipped at my lower lip and looked into my eyes.

They held so much but I saw the anger still there. "Why did he have his hands on you?"

"He was just-" I don't owe him an explanation for anything. He allowed the Princess to put her hands on him so why did I have to explain Credo touching me. "I don't owe you an explanation Commander."

I saw his jaw clench. "Your playing with fire Mina," His hold on me tightened. "I don't want to see him around you again and I mean that Little light."

I began shifting in his hold so he would put me down however, Mark wouldn't budge. "That's funny considering the fact that the Princess had her perfectly done hands all over you yet Credo can't touch me." Mark looked at me with amusement and one of his brows raised.

"Your jealous Little light."

"J-Jealous, Ha!" I laughed. "I'm am not jealous."

"Anything you say Love," He laughed a little. "I won't let the Princess put her hands on me again."

He seriously thought I was jealous, which I wasn't.

He kissed my lips gently once then placed me on my feet. "Your mine Little Light and mine only," He kissed my temple. "And that statement goes both ways." He retied my face covering and left me in the room.
