Protector on Base (Hearts on Base #8)

She came to the base searching for her future. Then one look from Captain Weston Holt made her body feel it first. Soft smiles, quiet strength, slow-burn tension that hits low and lingers.

She was not supposed to fall… but some men are impossible to walk away from.

Hailey He is so steady, and I feel myself steady around him too… until he looks at me. Then my pulse jumps and my thoughts get warm and messy.

I have never felt this kind of wanting before, slow and new and a little overwhelming.

I still feel like me, but there is a spark now, curious and sweet and hungry to know what it would be like to have his hands on me. I don’t want to rush. I just want him.

And sometimes I catch his eyes on me, and it feels like he wants it too.

Wes I should be able to look at her without feeling this. But one soft smile and heat hits low and deep, sharp as hunger. I try to stay composed, to breathe slow, to be the man I am supposed to be.

Then she laughs and my body answers before my mind can stop it. I want her warm against me, soft under my hands. And God, I am running out of ways to pretend I do not.
