Merrick and Liz were waiting at their position for everyone to radio in before attacking the facility. Liz was leaning up against a tree fiddling with her honey badger. She looked to see Merrick on the other side looking ahead for any tangos. Liz walked over and grazed her hand over his shoulders, he shuddered over her touch. She leaned against the tree that was closest to him. With nothing else to do she walked back over to Merrick, pulled down his mask. Before she could do anything Merrick pinned her against a tree. A small smirk was forming on her lips.

"You're getting off on this, aren't you?" asked Merrick

"Maybe. But I can hide it, you can't."

Liz's hand covered the dent in his pants and gave it a little squeeze. Merrick let out a very audible moan, that even startled himself. Liz just shot him a suggestive look. Merrick let go of her only to crush their lips together. Her hand came up to cup his cheek, as did his. Liz's thumb grazed over his coarse beard that she wouldn't mind between her legs. Something about him, just turned her on. There was only one goal in mind and that was to make him hers.

Merrick deepened the kiss, his hand slide down her back to take a firm grasp of her ass. A small gasp left her when he did, which only made him smirk into the kiss. Her free hand worked the front of his pants. Until Merrick pushed away. "Awe we were just getting started." teased Liz

"We're on a mission."

"And?" Liz walked over to him and cupped his cheek in her hand. "They're taking forever. No harm in having some fun of our own. Plus it'll be quite hot starting the mission knowing minutes beforehand you were inside me."

Merrick swallowed and crushed their lips together once more. Seconds later he pulled away and spun Liz around. Liz dropped her honey badger and undid her pants, while pulling them down she heard Merrick do the same. She felt his hand grasp her hips, seconds later he was at her entrance. He slowly started to move in when..."We're ready at entrance A." said Keegan

Merrick let out an annoyed sigh and said "Copy. Rendezvous at the front."

He pulled out and tucked himself back in his pants. Waiting for Liz to do the same. Once she redressed herself, she picked up her honey badger and said. "You know, I might be permanently turned on knowing you'll be going through the whole mission with a hard on." Liz gave him a chaste kiss and started moving forward to the rendezvous sight. Merrick looked down at his very obvious bulge in his pants and let out a whine before following Liz.

They've been back for a few hours now. Merrick kept his distance from her the whole mission, even when they were in the bed of the truck heading back to base. Liz just got out of the shower and was slowly changing into a pair of clothes. She quickly glanced over her shoulder when she heard the door open. Settling instantly when she saw it was Merrick. She didn't even try to cover up. Merrick shut and locked the door before turning around to see and almost fully exposed Liz in front of him.

"Glad to see you made it." teased Liz

Merrick laughed and walked over to Liz and kissed her. His hands ran up and down her exposed back. While hers worked their way under his shirt. She could feel his taunt abs beneath her fingers, along with some hair. Liz broke the kiss to fully take off his shirt, discarding it behind her. Her hands ran up and down his torso, feeling the indents of the scars he bared. Liz leaned down to kiss a scar that was near the band of his pants and moved her way up. Kissing every scar until she was back up to his lips.

She gave him a quick kiss, then took his hand and led him to her bed. Liz thought about all the times she touched herself thinking of the man that was now in her bed. She was now thankful for the sudden burst of confidence. Merrick kissed down from her collarbone to her chest. He took a breast in his hand and started kneading it. A low moan leaving Liz. A small smirk shown on his face before he took her nipple in his mouth. Liz tilted her head back and moaned a little louder. He started to kiss his way down her body until he came to her underwear. He gave Liz a suggestive look and pulled them off.

Spreading her legs and placing his head right between them. He started to suck and lick at her clit. She clutched the sheets and ground her hips, moaning his name. Liz's breath started to get heavy, she was close. Soon after she came. Her whole body a trembling mess. Merrick held down her hips while she rode it out, but not stopping what he was doing. Once she was calmed down enough that's when he stopped. Merrick started kissing his way up her body all the way to her lips. Her hands ran up and down his sides, realizing he took off his pants.

He broke the kiss and looked down at her. Liz was expecting to see lust in his eyes, not love. A small moan left her when he started to slowly enter her. Once he was filled to the base, he almost fully pulls out and then slams back into her. She kept the same rhythm, meeting each thrust. The bed creaked and the frame kept hitting the wall, neither of them cared though. Then an audible whine left Liz when he pulled out. Not saying anything he motioned for her to turn around.

Liz got on her hands and knees and seconds later Merrick was inside her. He kept his rhythm for a while, then started to pound into her a little bit harder. Liz muffled her moans with a pillow. Liz brought her hand up between her legs and start rubbing circles around her still over sensitive clit. Merrick was getting close and he started to lose control when he felt Liz's walls start to pulsate around him. A few more hard thrusts and he spills inside her, moaning her name.

Once he pulls out they both collapse on the bed. Liz looks up at the ceiling a satisfied smile gracing her face. She felt Merrick gently brush his hand over her arm and turned to look at him. He looked content and happy but he hasn't said a word since he came in. Merrick looked at Liz with loving eyes. It made her already racing heart, race even more. It was silent between them, not awkward, just to many unspoken things.

"I want you Liz. I have since the day I met you." said Merrick

"I want you to Tom."

His already soften look soften some more when she said his name. Not Merrick but Tom. He gave her a few tame kisses before covering both of them with the blanket. Liz shut off the light and got comfortable under the blankets. She felt Merrick wrap his arm around her waist and pull her closer to him. They didn't say anything, it didn't need to be said. It was a mutual feeling and they both silently agreed to it. Liz smiled to herself, her plan was to make Merrick hers and she succeeded.

The next morning Merrick walked into the break room to grab some coffee. He nodded to Keegan who was sipping his. Merrick poured his own cup and sat down. Then seconds later Keegan sat down opposite of him. Merrick was still on cloud 9, he woke up next to Liz after thinking last night was a dream. And he was very happy it wasn't. They verbally made it official that morning.

Merrick never thought he would end up falling for anyone, let alone his bosses daughter. He was too lost in thought that he forgot Keegan was right in front of him. He snapped himself out of it and glanced at Keegan who had a mischievous look on his face.

"What?" asked Merrick

"How last night with Liz go? By the sounds of it you had two quite an eventful night."

Merrick's eyes widened and his face started to flush. If Keegan knew, then who else did. He watched Keegan get up and leave. Before he fully exited the break room he turned his attention back to Merrick.

"Don't worry. You're secrets safe with me."
