I knew I needed to leave, and she gave me the out. Like a coward, I took it.
I am not the man she needs in her life. I am dangerous and tainted. If she knew how tainted I was, she would never want me anyways, but that didn’t stop me from claiming her lips that night in the car.
I could feel the wave of anger coming off her from the revelation of Leia and my dad. Then she asked about that abuser, and I couldn’t help myself. I needed to quieten her up, but the minute my lips touched hers, I lost control. It took everything in me to pull back and get her out of the car, when all I wanted to do was strip her down, and feel her pussy wrapped around my cock, while I pounded into her hard and rough.
I shake my head to rid thoughts of Riley from my mind. She’s my sister’s best friend, and way too good for me. She needs someone who is not damaged by the evils of this world, she doesn’t need me.
I look over my emails from the new commander. Since Major General McLaughlin decided to retire, as well as most of team one, we’ve been waiting on new recruits to fill the shoes of those who left.
The new Major General is hard to read, and no one can gauge where his head is at. I ensure that my leave form is still approved, because now that I know for sure Leia wants me to walk her down the aisle, I will not disappoint her.
I decide now would be a good idea to get a workout in, and I leave my room for the gym. I have a lot of aggression to work off and the face of a beauty to get out of my head.

Two weeks later
I read the text from Leia, telling me Noah is at the airport to pick me up. She has to work on some last-minute items for the hospital’s annual Christmas party tomorrow night. The one I agreed to dress up as St. Nicolas for. I shake my head, walking down the terminal, putting my phone back in my pocket, and wondering how I allowed myself to get talked into this.
“Hey, man,” I hear Noah’s voice before I see him.
“Hey,” I tell him, still not quite believing he is going to marry my sister.
“I thought we could go grab and beer and talk, while Leia is doing her thing,” Noah says.
“Okay, sounds good. Let me get my bag off the carousel,” I tell him, hating the awkwardness that is between us.
Noah has been my best friend since elementary school. We’ve done everything, and there is nothing about him that I don’t know and vice-versa. Knowing everything I do about him is where my problem is.
I know every girl he ever slept with, we never kept any secrets between us, or so I thought. Apparently, he was keeping a big secret about my sister from me. I don’t even know how long they were together before I came home and saw them in the hospital room.
I grab my bag off the carousel, turn around, and see Noah smiling at his phone. I walk over to him, and his mannerism changes. He quickly types out a response, then puts the phone back in his pocket.
“Are you ready?” he asks, and I nod.
We walk out to the parking garage, finding his car easily enough. I place my bag in the trunk.
Noah doesn’t open the car right away, and I know he has something to say.
“Listen Mike, I need to know, are we okay?”
“Why wouldn’t we be okay?” I spew.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” he asks.
“Wrong with me? Oh, I don’t know, maybe the fact that I asked my best friend to look out for my sister and make sure she was safe, instead I came back to find you together.”
“I knew you were going to be pissed,” he starts.
“Pissed? No, I’m not pissed, I’m fucking livid. My best friend didn’t have the decency to tell me he was fucking my little sister. Out of all the freaking girls you could have had, you had to defile my sister,” I yell out, not caring who is around. “Is this a game to you, Noah?”
Before I even register, Noah is punching me in the jaw. “If you ever talk about my fiancée like that again, I will make damn sure you have more than a sore jaw.”
“You son of a bitch,” I say as I take a swing on him.
He ducks and hits me again, then says, “You are a fucking asshole, Mike. You should know I would never do anything to hurt Leia. I love her and have since she was eighteen, but out of respect for our friendship, I stayed away from her.”
I look at him, completely taken back and surprised by his revelation. “What?”
