Chapter 10

I entered the break room and notice Snake Eyes polishing his swords. I walk up to him and bite my bottom lip unsure of what to say. He looks up at me then stands to his full height. He places a gloved hand on my cheek gently stroking it with his thumb. I smile up at him as we both lean in. Just as our lips barely connected we flew apart when the door opened.

Every one walked in and went their separate ways. Heavy duty started on the punching bag, while Scarlett jumped on the treadmill. Duke and Ripcord hit the benches and Breaker challenged me to a game of chess. I internally groaned as I went and sat on the couch to play with the French genius. I glanced at Snake eyes as he meditated.

As I waited for my turn I tried to hold the laugh in as I watched Ripcord practically drool over Scarlett. I focused on my game when I heard "fuck it." I looked up to watch Ripcord advance towards Scarlett who quickly pulls out a book. I glanced over at Duke who is saying, "Grip. Grip!" I hurried over and helped him take the weight off. I slowly walked back over to see Snake Eyes balance on his two sword. I couldn't help but mentally drool.

I shake my head and glared at Breaker as he shouted in triumph, "Check mate!" I laughed then joined Duke in jump roping while watching Ripcord fail miserably trying to get Scarlett's affection. I looked at Duke and we couldn't help but laugh. "Commander on deck!" We both stopped and stood in front of the Commander Hawk. We all saluted and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Hawk smiled then looked at Duke. "Duke, you scored in the top ten percent of all the people we tested." Duke thanked him before Hawk looked at Ripcord. "Rip if we average your scores with Duke's you passed too." Ripcord thanked him. I felt nervous when Commander Hawk stared at me before thrusting his hand out. I shook it while staring at him confused, "Sir?" He smiled at me and said in a proud voice, "Violet… No one can ever doubt your skill. Out of everyone we tested, you scored in the top 5." I stood there shocked while he left.

Snake eyes placed a hand on my shoulder bringing me out of my phase. I looked over my shoulder then I turned around and jumped on him. I wrapped my legs around his waist and hugged him. I couldn't help my excitement. I kissed him in front of our friends. I felt his arms encircle me as his lips pressed back against mine. We both pulled apart when we heard coughing. I buried my face into his neck blushing a deep red as he carried me towards my room still wrapped around him. Laughter could be heard down the hall.

Once my face cooled down I took a chance to look at him before we stopped at my door. Snake eyes placed me down gently so I could plug in my code. As soon as the door opened and I pulled him inside. Once the door closed I pinned Snake Eyes to it before pressing my lips to his. I pulled back and placed my hands on his face cupping his cheeks. I moved my hands down and then I gripped the bottom of his mask. As I started to pull up on it, hands wrapped around my wrists stopping me.

I looked up into his visor and whispered, "Trust me…" He let go of me as I pulled his face mask up just passed his lips before leaning in to touch his bare lips with mine. An electric shock ran through us both from the feel of our naked lips upon each other. His arms wrapped around me again pulling my body tight against his. I bit his bottom lip pulling it into my mouth to suck on it. I moaned when he plunged his tongue into my mouth. Our tongues fought for dominance. I felt a hand under my tank top running up my back. A moan escaped my lips. I slowly pulled away biting my bottom lip. "Snake Eyes, before we continue, there is something I need to tell you… I-" The sound of an alarm goes off making us jump apart.

A/N: Two chapters in a day! After being gone for so long I need to catch up. I am soooooooo sorry you guys waited so long. Also I am thinking of doing a lemon in a separate chapter. At least that way for those who don't like them can skip it and continue with the story like its not even there. Let me know what you guys think. I really appreciate the reviews. They are helping me to become a better writer. Can't wait to hear from you!
