“You will find everything you need to answer any further questions in your medical records, the video, as well as the AAR’s. I believe the President has brought all that information for you to review. I hope you understand that, due to the nature of the operation, all evidence of Laura Bennett will be destroyed after you review it.” With that final statement I was ready to grab the rest of my team and leave.

“Who the fuck was I with, God damn it?” She screamed.

“Lincoln.” Zane answered in a small voice. “You lived with Lincoln for a little over seven months. I came back to get you when you were done with your treatment and were ready to leave.”

Well, fuck me, so much for me leaving before that last bomb was dropped. Seven of the worst and best months of my life. Seven months I was not going to sit here and reminisce about. I was out!

“I think that is all, any further questions you can speak to Zane, Eric or Leo.” I took one more look at Jasmin; she was in shock. It would take her months to process this. I faced Zane, “I believe I am done here. I am going to meet with the team to go over the details of the mission.”

With that I walked out, not bothering to look back at her or my brother. I had already said good bye to her in the bedroom. Done and done.

The door crashed open behind me before I could even light my smoke. If Zane wanted to do this now I was going to beat his ass. I did not have time to hear him bitch me out.

“Lincoln, wait a minute.” I closed my eyes when I heard her voice. I really did not want to do this with Jasmin. I would take my brother over her. At least I could fight this adrenaline out of me.

I didn’t even bother to turn around and continued to walk around the corner of the house. “What do you need, Jasmin? I believe I was clear when I explained any further information could come from the reports.”

Just my fucking luck, she followed me.

“Why?” A simple question that there was no simple answer for.

Turning around, wanting to get this over with. “Why what? What the fuck do you want Jasmin?” I snapped at her.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

She looked small and hurt, so fucking beautiful my insides hurt just looking at her.

“I just fucking did, woman. What the fuck more is there to say? You wanted answers, we gave them to you. Do you want me to sit and hold your hand now and pat you like a dog so you can feel better?”

The need to hurt this woman was overwhelming. She shattered my soul. I have never loved any other woman in my life. I loved her so deeply I did not think I would ever get over her. My only option was to stay away.

“Don’t be a dick, Lincoln. Why didn’t you tell me that you were the one who took care of me?”

I was not answering that shit honestly. “What does it matter who took care of you? You were my mission, nothing more.” The lie tasted like shit on my tongue.

“Why don’t I remember you but I can still remember everyone from before that mission?”

“Guess I was just forgettable. Like I said, it was meaningless!”

I needed to get her to stop fucking asking questions. The more she asked, the more I lied and with each word I spoke, my soul died a little more. Lying about our time together felt wrong. I wanted to tell her how I held her and kissed her for hours, loved every part of her body.

“Did we… Did we umm…” she stuttered not finishing.

“Fuck,” I supplied.

“Yeah.” The blush I loved so much was creeping up her neck.

I felt my gut twisting and turning. This was the biggest lie I was going to tell. This was the lie that would kill my soul.

“Yes, sweetheart we did. We were alone in a safe house for months. I couldn’t leave you alone even for a moment. When the urge hit, we fucked. It was good, so we kept fucking. We both knew it meant nothing, it was a means to satisfy an itch.”

“Fuck you, asshole!”

Before I knew what I was doing I had her spun around facing the wall, my body pressed against her back, sandwiching her to the wall. I had no control around this woman. She was the most infuriating female I had ever met.

“Advice, sweetheart. Do not ask questions you do not want the answers to. Fuck me? You wanna go ahead and go another round? I’m game. I have to tell you it was so much better this time around. I didn’t have to go easy with you like I did the first time we were together. I wasn’t afraid I would hurt you when I fucked you this time,” I taunted in her ear.

I could feel her body shaking as I held her captive. I didn’t know if it was from anger or if she was turned on. There was one quick way to find out. I groaned at the thought of shoving my hand down her pants to test her pussy. My dick was hardening at the thought of my hand touching her soft lips.
