Unexpected Desire

Chapter 26

"Corporal Hughes," my sergeant says. 

"Yes sir," I say, turning around and I run over toward him. 

"Your contract is going to be up next week, and our unit is getting deployed in two weeks. If you want to get deployed with us, then you need to resign early. If you don't want to get deployed, you can change units or change your MOS. You understand?" 

"Yes sir," I say, nodding my head slightly. He waves me away. 

"As you were," he says, and turns around and walks away from me. I had already known this information, but my choice has changed since the last time I thought about it. 

A month ago, I definately wouldn't have resigned, but now... I can't stay here. Katherine hates me now. I could tell by the look on her face before she left my barracks that there was no chance of her forgiving me. She was the only reason I was going to stay... 

I know she feels something for that man she was with. I have to respect that. He obviously must be a better man if he got Katherine to show any interest in him. I never should have let myself get involved with her anyway. I tried to tell her, but she felt like she knew me. She felt that I would never be capable of hurting her. Well, I did, and now I can't find it in myself to blame her for leaving me. I still don't like that she cheated, but I believe everything happens for a reason. There is a reason she did that. We weren't meant to be together. But, I learned a valuable lesson from our relationship. 

I can't let myself lose control like that, ever. 

I believed Katherine when she told me she knew I would never hurt her. In one way, she was right. I can't live with myself. I know I'm going to look like a coward if I leave, but I know there is no other option that will give Katherine some kind of peace of mind. I want that for her. I want that for me. I need to be out of her life for good. We need to be out of each others lives. We each need to move on from each other. But even with that... 

I still need to tell her.

Katherine

I take a deep breath, and I smell the sweet musky scent of Ian. My lips curl up into a smile, and my eyes flutter open. 

My face is laying on Ian's chest, and it rises and falls with each quiet breath he takes. I lightly rub my fingers over his abs, and his muscles twitch under my touch. He stirs, and I continue to draw patterns on his toned stomach. He raises his hand from my back to run his fingers through my hair. My smile widens, and I look up to see his stunning blue eyes studying me. A beautiful smile spreads onto his face before leaning down to place a soft kiss on my lips. 

"Good morning beautiful," he says. He pulls me to him, and I snuggle up to his warm body. 

"This is so nice," I whisper, closing my eyes briefly. 

"Yeah, it is," he whispers back. We lay in a comfortable silence for a while, until the annoying shrill of my phone interupts it. I grudgely get up, and walk across the room to retrieve it. Then, I realize that I'm still naked. I blush a bright red as I grab my phone, answering it, before I scurry back beside Ian. I feel him chuckle as I greet the caller. 

"Hello?" 

"Kat, I think you should come home," she says, and I instantly become worried. She sounds scared. 

"Dana, what's wrong? Why" 

"You just need to come home, okay," she says frantically. 

"Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes," I say, and hang up the phone. 

"What's wrong," Ian asks. 

"I don't know, but Dana wants me home." 

"Do you want me to come with you?" 

"If you want to, babe," I whisper, getting off the bed to put my clothes on. 

Ian and I get ready quickly before flying out the door to his car. We drive over as fast as we possibly can without getting a ticket, and when my house come in view, my heart nearly stops altogether. I clutch hard onto Ian's arm, and he gives me a worried look. 

The truck sitting in my driveway belongs to the LAST person I want to see. 

Jaxon.
