with Khan. She was committed to keeping them all together as a family.
“Then what’s bothering you?”
He dropped his head forward and rubbed his eyes. “Khan?”
He stared at her blankly with glossy eyes when he finally raised his head. “The general of the special shifter unit of the military came to visit me today.”
Bailey’s hands flew up to cover her open mouth. “No,” she whispered.
“He wants me to go back overseas,” Khan said as the color drained from his face.
Bailey started to feel dizzy. “For how long?”
Khan shrugged. “He said a year but that doesn’t mean a thing. He told us a year last time and it ended up being four.”
Bailey’s heart felt like it had momentarily stopped. All she could do was stare at him in disbelief. She had finally reconnected with her son’s father and her future looked promising for the first time in a long time and now life had to come and punch her in the face.
“Four years,” she whispered as she sunk to the ground. Her legs were weak and trembling and they wouldn’t hold her up anymore.
Khan crouched down beside her and cradled his arms around her. “I’m sorry,” he whispered, kissing her head.
“Can you say no?”
“I tried,” he said, choking on his words. “He threatened to kill me if I didn’t go.”
“Oh, God,” she said, feeling her lungs constrict. She pulled him in close, squeezing his body.
“These aren’t exactly the type of people who you can turn down,” he said. “They’re horrible men.”
Bailey felt a pain in her chest as she processed his words. Her heart felt like it was literally breaking.
Ideas raced through her head but she couldn’t come up with anything that she could do to fix the situation. If Khan said that this was final, then she believed him. He had been so happy the past few days that she couldn’t believe he would go back overseas if he didn’t absolutely have to.
She took a deep breath and kissed his neck. “I’ll wait for you,” she whispered. “As long as it takes. I’ll wait.”
“Really?” he asked holding her at arm’s length to gaze into her eyes. He was so handsome with his dark features and watery eyes. She studied his face, taking in every detail. She would need to remember it all during those many, long and lonely nights that were coming up in her future.
“Of course,” she whispered. “You’re the only man for me. You’re the only one that I want as well.”
He kissed her soft and slow and the area between her legs began to heat up despite the horrified feelings swirling through her body. His strong masculine body had such a profound effect on her that he could get her thinking about sex even at a time like this.
“When do you have to leave?” she asked, afraid to hear the answer.
He swallowed hard. “Two weeks.”
“Two weeks?” she said with a gasp. That was so soon. Too soon.
He slid his arms under her and picked her up easily. “Let’s not waste a second of it,” he whispered.
Khan held her close as he walked into the other room. Bailey breathed in his familiar scent and moaned as his strong arms lifted her up as if she were weightless.
He walked away from the bed and placed her sitting on the dresser while he flicked on the soft light of the lamp behind her. “I want to see you,” he whispered in a raspy voice. “I want to watch your beautiful body as I slide in it.”
He was about to pick her up again to bring her to the bed but she grabbed his collar and held him there. Her light summer dress hiked up her thighs as she spread her legs for him. “Fuck me here,” she said gazing into his hungry eyes. She was already so wet. She couldn’t wait any longer, even the ten seconds it would take to move to the bed.
Khan yanked off his shirt and immediately slid his hands up the outside of Bailey’s soft thighs making her moan. She spread her legs further as he stepped between them. His cock was visible against his shorts, pressing out against the
