Alternate Ending #1 – Bad Girl

"I'm sorry, Scarlett.  I never thought that I would see you again after your work was done at Fort Bragg.  I just told Conrad some stories of our little escapades," he said as he dodged another incoming fist.  He grabbed her arm and held it tightly.  "Stop trying to hit me.  Remember you trained me and got me into the Special Forces (Green Berets).  You know, if anyone saw this, it could cause some rumors to start floating around," Falcon gloated as he flashed her his boyish grin.

She wrenched her arm out of his grasp.  "Enjoy this while you can.  You have no idea what you just did."

Falcon backed away from her to give him better reaction room if he needed to dodge another fist.  "Look, Feisty, Duke is not going to care about the stories I told him.  He is involved with some hot chick and doesn't pay the three of you ladies here any mind.  I don't know why he got so pissed earlier but don't kid yourself, sister.  My brother is so smitten over some girl that he'll forget about you and I, and things will be back to normal before too long.  I don't know why you are so upset anyway."

Scarlett looked at him with pure hatred in her eyes.  "You have no idea do you?  Well, for your information, I would be that 'hot chick' that Conrad is so smitten over and thanks to you, it just went up in flames."  Her voice was full of hurt, but a hint of vengeance rolled off her tongue.

Falcon's eyes got big.  "You...you are Conrad's girlfriend.  Oh my God!  I never knew," he stammered as he backed further away from her.

Scarlett slowly advanced on him as he continued to back away from her.

He wasn't real sure what she would do to him.  It had been a few years since their little fling, but Falcon never forgot the temper that she had.  He continued, "I'm so sorry.  I never thought that he would ever cross paths with you, and so I figured it would be okay for me to let him in on some of my fun.  He was being the brooding big brother anyway.  God, if I would have ever thought that you and him would ever hook up or even work together, I would have never told him."

"Hell, you were just gloating and doing the typical guy thing," she hissed at him as she finally succeeded in backing him into a corner.  As fear started to cross his face, a smile formed on hers.  "You know that you are going to have to remedy this situation, don't you?"

She eyed him suspiciously as he nodded his head.  "Good, then let's start right now.  You owe me, buster."  She reached out, grabbed his collar, and pulled him towards her.  "But before you start, kiss me, lieutenant, and that's an order."  Scarlett figured that if one brother was mad at her, she might as well make the most of the situation with the other brother.

Falcon's lips formed a smile as he met her lips.  He would have never thought that his brother and himself would ever share the same fondness and passion for the same woman, although admittedly, Falcon's desire was more lust-filled than passion-oriented.  Life would certainly never be dull on the Joe team, Falcon thought as he indulged himself in this forbidden kiss.
