Obsessed (Whiskey Run Book 3) Hope Ford (find a book to read .TXT) 📖

my phone rings, I answer it without looking at the caller ID. “Hello.”

“Hello. May I speak to Evan McCarthy, please?”

I pull the phone back and look at it and then put it to my ear again. “Uh, no I’m sorry he isn’t here. May I ask who’s calling?” Whoever it is sounds pretty official.

“Yes. This is Commander Jamison. I got your number from Evan’s brother when I called his office. He thought Evan might be there. Can you please tell him I’m trying to track him down and have him call me?”

I’m nodding into the phone, and my stomach sinks at the same time. “Yes. I’ll tell him.”

The phone clicks in my ear, and I walk over to the couch and drop into it.

I don’t know how much time passes, and Evan walks into my house, whistling.

He spots me and stops, and I try to hide the pain on my face. He drops down in front of me. “What’s wrong?”

I shake my head. “What did the doctor say?”

His smile when he first walked in lessens a little but he still tells me, “All my tests were good. They said I’ll be able to return to all normal activities soon.”

I smile, but I know it doesn’t quite reach my eyes. Don’t get me wrong, I want him well. I hate the pain he’s gone through with the vertigo, but I also don’t want him to leave. “That’s so great, Evan. I’m so happy for you.”

I pull him in for a hug to hide my face. He can always read me, sometimes knowing what I’m feeling before I even tell him, and I don’t want to bring him down. I want him happy.

His arms tighten around me. “What is it?”

“No—"

But before I can get “nothing” out, he interrupts me. “Don’t say nothing. There’s something wrong. Tell me.”

I pull away and stand up, sliding around him to put some distance between us. “Nothing is wrong. Oh yeah, your commander called. He wants you to call him back.”

He’s quiet for a minute, and I start to walk out of the room, but he follows me. I think I can hold it together until he puts his hands on my shoulders to stop me. It’s then that the floodgates open, and tears are pouring down my face.

I turn in his arms and plaster myself to him. I can’t imagine losing him. Not now. And knowing he’s okay, that he can return to all his duties, I know he’s probably going to leave me.

He lets me cry, and when I start to calm down, he just holds me tighter. “Tell me what it is. I can’t fix it if you don’t tell me.”

“It’s nothing. I’m happy you’re okay. I’m happy you can go back to your duties....” I trail off, and that’s when it clicks.

“You think I’m going back to the Army?”

I shrug my shoulders, not wanting to even say it out loud.

He pulls back enough to look at me. He takes the pad of his thumb and wipes the tears off my cheeks. “Baby, a month and a half ago, I would have gone back in an instant, but now, knowing you, feeling what we have together, I won’t leave you. I can’t.”

“But you love the Army. That’s what you’ve always wanted to do.”

He shakes his head. “And I did it. I served my country, and I did it with pride. But I love you, Sierra. I won’t leave you. I promised you I wouldn’t hurt you and I won’t.”

“You love me?” I ask in shock.

“Fuck, isn’t it obvious? I’m obsessed with you.”

Elation and guilt build at the same time. “But I don’t want to hold you back.”

He laughs and shakes his head. “You would never hold me back. It’s my decision. I have vertigo, yes, the symptoms are less, and I can resume working out and running, but I’m not cleared for duty. I’m here to stay, Sierra. I want to build a life with you.”

I kiss his chest, right over his heart and whisper up to him with emotion thick in my voice. “I’d like that too. I love you, Evan.”

Evan

She doesn’t even know. She has no clue that my life starts and ends with her. She has become my everything in such a short amount of time. We may not have gotten together in high school, but now, it’s like perfect timing because we fit together perfectly. “I love you more,” I tell her before lifting her up and carrying her to the bedroom. I’m insatiable when it comes to her. I can’t get enough.

I slide my hands down the front of her shorts, and she’s already soaked for me. I strip us both from the waist down because I have to have her and can’t wait another second.

She slides her hips back. “We can’t. Not without anything. Not unless you want a little Evan popping out in nine months.”

“Fuck,” I grunt as my hips thrust against her.

I kiss her, fitting my body between her legs, my cock already leaking precum. Just the thought of getting her pregnant is enough to make me come right now. “I’m fine with that.”

Her eyes grow wide. “Evan!”

I shrug and slide my cock along her slit, begging for entrance. “What? I am. We’re going to get married and have babies anyway.”

“Evan...”

I grab my cock and stroke it along her clit. “It’s up to you, baby. I can stop if you want me to.”

She moans, and I leak more cum, our juices mixing together. “Don’t you dare stop, Evan McCarthy.”

I plunge into her hot depths and fuck, it feels like home. “I won’t, baby. I’ll never stop.”

Violet

I’m a genius, if I do say so myself. I’m looking around my little diner, and seeing the couples in the room all happy and enjoying their life makes me smile. I’ve helped the majority of them get together, and
