Bass's POV
Four weeks later
"I really hoped that we would have the rest of the evening off!" Nutter mutters as we all get out of our Humvee.
"What did Reese say again?" Private First Class Reginald Mayfair questions. Reggie was assigned to our squad two weeks ago, since Tom broke his arm. Reggie drops his voice to mimic the First Sergeant "You are my best unit and I need you out there. No one is better suited for this mission than you boys!"
"You got it in one Reggie" I clap him on the back and get Max out of the back of the Humvee. He instantly starts sniffing and draws me away from the vehicle.
It is now 4 in the afternoon and after our morning patrol duty, we were supposed be off until the next day, but we were 'needed' for this mission. Reese hates this unit, and always gives us the shit assignments. So it does not come as a surprise that we were send 5 hours away from the camp to the middle of frecking nowhere.
I have six more weeks to go here and then I am done with this. Andrew and I made a deal. I would finish my contract in one big long mission and he would give me some extra time off when I got home.
Before I left, Charlie and I packed up our old house and met with a realtor. With a lot of luck the house will be sold by the time I get back home. I told Charlie to accept any offer she sees fit.
Once I am home I will go back to therapy and we are going to look at a new house together…
BANG
The blast pushes me a few meters through the air and I face plant the ground. I can't breathe and my ears are ringing. I try to move my arms and legs, but they won't do what I tell them too.
Unconsciousness is trying to take over and I try to fight it, but are unsuccessful. Seconds later the world goes black.
The next time I wake I find myself in a cellar of some sorts, tied to a wooden pole, which is supporting the building above us. Nutter and Reggie are tied to the other two poles, but I can't see Rick.
"Hey you are awake" Nutter remarks and grimaces as he moves a little.
"Where are we? And where is Rick?" I questions and try make out with what I am tied to the post. Plastic cable tie…great.
"Rick is dead, Bass" Nutter in forms me. "He died in the blast."
"Shit" I curse and try to push down the lump that has just formed in my throat. "Where are we?" Better to concentrate on the situation at hand and not on our fallen comrade.
"We are not entirely sure. We both were unconscious as they brought us here. But the people holding us are native Iraqis." Nutter answers. His uniform is stained with blood, his face is blue, as if he has been beaten and his leg used to look better too.
I lean my head against the pole with a sigh, which sends a burning sensation along my ribs. They are definitely broken. "How long have we been here?"
"A couple of days at least. They patched us up quiet well though." Reggie informs me and motions with his head to the bandage on his leg.
"Any chance of getting out of here?" I ask, but I have a feeling that there is no way we will make it out alive and their silence just confirms my suspicion.
Next thing I know a man dress from head to toe in a black gown appears in the cellar door, unties me and drags me up the stairs.
"Tell me your name" He says in broken English, after he tied me to a chair. There are three others with machine guns in the room and a camera is set up in the corner.
I keep silent and just look around the room. He asks two more times before his fist connects with my jaw.
"Tell me your name" He repeats with a grim expression and I keep silent again.
Roughly half an hour later I am being carried back down stairs. They delivered one blow after another to my face and my broken rips, but I didn't talk. Talking could get me killed a lot faster and I fully intend to make it back to my family.
"Maybe next time you will be a little more talk active" The man says and punches my head again, making everything go blurry. I can hear my mates shouting but everything goes dark just seconds later.
"We have the whole house for ourselves?" I question and draw Charlie a little closer. She is wearing those damn shorts again.
"We do" She grins and puts her arms around my neck.
"Okay…then…let's play a game of chess" I suggest and pretend to drag her to the living room.
"You got to be joking" She exclaims, making me laugh.
"Nah…I can think of a better way to spend alone time" I grin, lift her up and carry her up the stairs.
"Does this involve us being naked?" my wife questions as I throw he onto the bed.
"Maybe" I reply vaguely and hover above her. Before she can utter another word, I close the gap between us and kiss her sweet lips. "You are driving me crazy in these shorts" I tell her as I pull away again and let my hands wander down to said clothing.
"I can vaguely remember you muttering something like that the other day" She grins up at me and her breath hitches as I let my hand glide over her sweet spot and down her legs.
"So you are wearing them for a purpose?" I question and drag my hand back up her leg and beneath her shorts. I have to swallow hard as I discover that she isn't wearing any underwear.
"Yeah…so that you would take them off me" She tells me and bites down on her bottom lip as I run my thump over her wet sweet spot.
"Oh believe that's what I will be doing" I tell her and kiss her again.
Soon enough we hungrily pull each others clothes of and with one swift move I enter her. I still for a second, before I pull out again, just to slam right back into her.
This time is all about fulfilling a need. And it doesn't take long for both of us to fall over the edge.
"I am sorry" I say as I roll over, taking her with me, so that she is straddling me.
"For?" She questions as she rocks her hips a little, waking a different part of anatomy again.
"I didn't mean to be this rough." I admit and cringe slightly as I get a good look at the small bite marks and hickeys on her neck and breast.
"No need to be sorry, I liked that…now it's my turn" She shoots me an evil grin, and my man hood becomes fully erect of anticipation of what is to come.
