Love Struck

Chapter 87 - Scared

Ghost's POV

"Here we go." Stated my partner as we approached the Pakistan boarder.

My partner was driving as I waited in the passenger seat with all our fake gear.

G.U.N soldiers manned the ways out of Pakistan and we had to get by them without drawing suspicion.

Our car came to a halt as one of the soldiers stopped us from passing.

Slowly he approached the window.

"Where you two off to?" He asked while grasping his gun.

My friend quickly replied.

"Going to the airport. We have to get back home in time to meet our deadline for our movie."

Slowly more soldiers came to our car while the current man asked.

"What kind of movie?"

I quickly replied.

"We were doing a documentary on the rebellion of Pakistan."

"The rebellion?" He questioned.

"Yes sir." I replied.

"How did that go?" He asked.

"Due to the war they really couldn't help me with much but I was able to get some good interviews with some of the soldiers and a few personal." I replied.

The soldier nodded and slowly got up off our car and replied.

"Alright well I hope it go's well for you. You can proceed."

"Thank you sir." I replied as my friend started up the car again.

Slowly we pulled out of the boarder and into Iraq.

The soldiers were soon out of our sight and we both took a breath.

"Nice job." He stated.

"Thanks." I replied.

"What's next?" He asked me.

"Next we get to the airport and get the hell on a plane somehow." I stated.

My partner nodded and we proceeded to the airport.

Shadow's POV

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

"Come in!" I shouted as I had my head deep in paperwork.

"Hey Shadow, someone wants to know if they can see you for a few minutes of your time?" Asked Alicia as she waited at the door.

I slowly put down my pen and replied.

"Yeah come in please."

Alicia smiled and moved aside so Dove was able to walk in.

The second she entered I glanced up to find a pretty visible red mark on the left side of her face.

She stopped in front of Alicia and I could tell something was wrong. Dove looked like she was about to cry.

I quickly glanced at Alicia and she gently smiled and left shutting the door behind her.

As soon as she was gone I got up and approached Dove who remained in the center of my office.

"Is everything ok Dove?" I asked as I stopped in front of her.

Up close I could tell she had been crying before.

Dove slowly began to cry again and I quickly hugged her.

"Hey, hey, hey. What's wrong?" I asked as she cried into my shirt.

Dove slowly began to hug me back without a response and I began to worry.

Gently I took her to my desk and I placed her into one of the seats. I remained on the edge of my desk as she continued to cry.

I haven't had to deal with a problem like this since…well in Afghanistan.

I gently placed my finger on the side of Dove's face and slowly she looked into my eyes.

Dove's face was pure red and not from sadness.

"What happened? "I asked her softly.

Dove looked as if she couldn't tell me, but she's exposed herself to me now and I want to know if someone hurt her because by the mark on her cheek it looks like a hand.

"You can tell me Dove." I assured her.

Dove took a few breaths and I waited as she went to speak.

"You…won't believe me." She stated in sadness.

I quickly placed my hand on her shoulder and replied.

"Dove?"

She quickly looked up and into my eyes.

"You know I wouldn't dare call you a liar."

Dove smiled a little and replied.

"I'm worried Shadow. "

"About what?" I asked.

Dove lowered her head and replied.

"About Ghost."

I nodded and replied.

"He'll be fine. He has Dom with him."

Dove shook her head in disapproval.

"That's not what I mean."

"Then what?" I asked calmly.

Dove let a few tears out and I quickly handed her a tissue.

She gently wiped her nose and replied.

"I'm worried about him."

"Has something happened?" I asked.

Dove nodded her head and I asked.

"Was it a fight?"

Dove again nodded and replied.

"He's not who I remember him as."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"He's not the man he was before Shadow, he's changed." Replied Dove.

"Ghost is always out fighting Dove. A man can only kill so much before it starts to effect him. Ghost may be starting to understand what he has on the line with you and Midnight." I stated.

Dove quickly nodded in disapproval.

"He doesn't care about us." She stated.

My eyes widened.

"What!?" I asked in disbelief.

"Shadow he says we have no place when it comes to him risking his life! He said he has nothing on the line when he fights and kills! He doesn't care!" Shouted Dove in response.

"That can't be true." I stated.

Dove quickly stood up and screamed.

"I knew you wouldn't believe me!"

She then went for the door and I quickly caught her by her arm.

"Hold on!" I ordered.

Dove stopped and I dragged her back towards the desk.

I gently released her arm and replied.

"I do believe you Dove. It's just after everything I can't picture him saying that."

Dove stared into my eyes and replied.

"Nether could I Shadow, but he just doesn't care anymore about us."

"Is this the first time he said that?" I asked.

Dove nodded in disapproval.

"He says it almost every time I tell him to be careful. It turns into a huge fight then…!" Dove stopped and tears began to pour and quickly I hugged her.

Her tears rolled on my fur and slowly she began to relax.

Our faces rubbed against each other and I could feel the heat coming from her face.

I had to ask.

"Did he hit you?"

Slowly Dove retracted and I placed my hand on her face.

"Did he do this?" I asked seriously.

Slowly Dove nodded and I gently leaned back to let out a huge sigh.

"Is it the first time?" I asked.

"No". Replied Dove.

I didn't know what to say to her. I still can't picture Ghost doing this, especially hitting her.

"I just want to feel safe Shadow." Stated Dove.

"Ghost is gone for about a week. When he comes back I'll have a talk with him and I'll place one of my men outside your quarters to make sure your safe." I stated.

"No." Replied Dove.

"Then what do you want me…!" Dove cut me off.

"I feel safe with you."

I stared into her eyes and replied.

"Dove I can't."

"Ghost scares me Shadow and I think Midnight is getting scared of him as well. You've treated me better then him for a long time and I just feel safer with you." Stated Dove in tears.

"Ghost is like my big brother Dove. I can't do this to him." I stated.

"But…!" I cut her off.

"I can't Dove."

"What happened about that kiss?" She asked.

"That was two months ago Dove." I stated.

"You said you loved me." Stated Dove.

"We both know I was drunk." I stated.

Dove slowly lowered her head.

"Dove I'm sorry but I can't…!"

I was cut off by her lips.

Dove tackled me onto my desk and wrapped her arms around my head kissing me passionately as I had my eyes wide open in shock. My back crushed the paperwork I had been doing and I slowly felt her tongue. My eyes began to shut and slowly I kissed back feeling every taste bud. As we kissed I began to realize what I was doing. Quickly I pushed her off and shouted.

"Dove stop! I can't do this!" I stated while feeling hot.

"It's just for a week Shadow." Stated Dove as she got closer to my lips.

"What about when he comes back?!" I asked.

"He doesn't have to know." Stated Dove.

"I can't cheat with you!" I stated.

"Please Shadow. I need someone." Stated Dove.

"That someone is not me!" I stated.

"You know what I like, what type of girl I am, and who I care about. You should also know how I feel about you." Stated Dove.

My eyes widened.

"How do you feel?" I asked not wanting to hear the answer.

Slowly Dove placed herself back into my lips and we kissed very slowly.

Gently I laid back on the desk and Dove carefully got on top of me placing her right hand on my thigh. I blushed as her tongue wrapped around mine. After a few deep seconds I felt her touch a place a bit more sensitive turning my face into a heat filled oven. As she slowly grasped at it I placed both my hands on her shirt gently raising it above her head.

Ghost's POV

"Got it Ghost?" Asked Dom as we took out our fake gear.

I held the camera in my arms as he grabbed our bags.

"Yeah. Come on before we have to wait for another flight." I replied as he locked the car.

Dom was a hedgehog. He was a light blue color with hazel eyes. Well built for his age as well. Dom is only twenty two just like Shadow. Nice guy to boot. This is the first time I worked with him, but Shadow told me he was one of the best; we'll just have to see.

Quickly we walked into the airport and approached the ticket counter.

"Hello, how may I help you?" Asked the women behind the desk.

"We need two tickets to the states." I replied.

"May I see some id?" Asked the lady.

"Of course." We replied as we pulled out our id cards.

Me and Dom handed her the cards and we waited as she checked the names.

Flashback

"That's all Ghost I would like to thank you for your help with the movie." Stated David as he shook my hand.

"Of course not a problem what so ever." I stated as I gripped his hand.

David panicked as his camera man was grabbed from behind.

I held him in place as one of my men turned the camera man's neck.

"SNAP!"

David went to scream but I quickly pulled out my knife.

"AGHHH…!"

I shoved it through the bottom of his head killing him instantly.

I smiled and tossed him to the ground next to his camera man.

"Tell Shadow we handled them and we will be proceeding with the plan." I ordered the one soldier.

"Yes sir." He replied as I began to strip the bodies.

End Of Flashback

"Here you are sirs." She said as she handed our id's back.

We nodded and quickly she handed us our tickets.

"Plane 56 at end C-9." She stated while pointing which way.

Me and Dom nodded and quickly proceeded to the terminal where our plane waited.

After handing our tickets to the lady manning the door she let us by.

Quickly me and Dom found our seats and buckled in.

"Off to the states." He said as he placed the rest of the gear down.

I nodded and replied.

"We'll check gear in a few hours so just relax."

"Can I get something to eat?" He asked.

"It's all free so go crazy." I stated.

Dom went to get up but was quickly cut off by the loud speaker.

"Ladies and gentlemen this is your pilot speaking. Please relax and take your seats. Our flight will be about twelve hours long and our first break will commence as soon as we're in the air. Besides that please enjoy the flight."

"Haha!" I laughed as Dom quickly sat down.

"Damn it!" He shouted as he buckled in.

"Just wait a few minutes I'm sure the break will be soon. After all we just need to get up in the air." I stated.

Dom nodded as I looked out the window.

"BANG!"

It started to pour and lightning filled the sky as Dom stared at me with a "what the fuck!" look.

"One change of plans everyone. The break will have to wait until we our out of this storm so it will be a few hours." Stated the pilot.

I tried not to laugh but it was too much.

"Hahahah!"

"Shut the fuck up!" Shouted Dom as he slammed his head into the seat.

In about few minutes we were airborne and besides Dom's hunger everything was going perfect. All that is left is to relax and catch some sleep before we land and begin searching.

As I shut my eyes I tried to think about Dove. I feel like shit. I never wanted to hurt her, it's just my anger has grown since the last war. I just can't believe I hit her. I'm not the man I once was. When this is over and I come back I will find a way to make it up to her. I just hope she can try to enjoy herself while I'm away.

Dove's POV

I kissed Shadow deeply feeling his tongue up and down as he grew in my hand.

Slowly he sent my shirt to the floor and began to go for my bra as I moved towards his chest.

Slowly I slipped off his shirt and tossed it next to mine as he unhooked my straps.

Gently I kissed his chest as he kissed my neck.

After a few long seconds he let my bra fall off and land next to his side.

"Shadow…" I moaned softly as he continued to kiss me.

Gently I felt his touch on my breasts and I began to fall into his fur.

Slowly he got to my pants and began to unzip and unbutton as I slipped his off between his gentle legs.

His pants along with his boxers rested in front of the desk as he carefully pulled mine down with my underwear.

The second they hit the floor we stared into each others eyes knowing what was going to happen.
