I glanced up as I heard voices and watched as Olivia came out with one of my colleagues. “Robert, hello. Getting some fresh air?”

“There’s nothing like it in a place like this,” I replied as they sat down with food. Olivia gave me a curious look as she unwrapped a sandwich and I sensed that she was wondering if I’d looked into her date.

I hadn’t. I was happy with my own life and stepping back as the hard ass that I was known as. I knew that might get me into trouble later down the road but for now, I was happy. I was incredibly happy.

“Did you have a good time the other night?” Olivia asked me as Michael looked between us. She was digging a hole for herself here but I merely nodded. I saw the curiosity of who I was with more than concern for her own job.

“Yeah,” I told her vaguely, offering nothing. She frowned and picked up the sub as Michael raised an eyebrow. I knew the look in his eyes. He was wondering if there was something between us and I would set him straight about that as soon as I could, even though there was nothing technically wrong with the thought. I could date but I made a point not to at work. Olivia was attractive and it was known that she didn’t consider work a place to not hook up. I reminded myself why I transferred here in the first place all over again. I was cleaning up the mess from another scandal. I needed to keep things strict on the base and letting Michael assume anything was foolish, given my reputation. I took a sip of my water and pictured Molly’s face in my mind, feeling a calm come over me.

Molly was everything that I didn’t look for in a woman, yet here I was dating her. Not only dating her, but I was waiting for her.

Lunch ended and we went back in to wait for the class, with Michael taking a seat beside me in the back of the room as Olivia headed to the front. She was beautiful, confident, and oozed that she was submissive but Olivia did nothing for me.

“So, what was she getting at back there?” Michael asked me, reminding me of a teenager in high school before class, gossiping in the hallway.

“I’m dating a woman in town and she ran into us the other night. That’s all,” I responded as the guys filed back into the room. I still left out the part about who she was with, but I looked closely at every student that walked into the room. He’d been dark-haired and I frowned as everyone looked alike to me. I hadn’t expected to see Olivia that night and I was so caught up in Molly. My tactic changed and I watched Olivia for a moment as she let her eyes linger a bit too long on someone in the front, her face flushing as she smiled.

Bingo.

I sat back and smiled as she glanced back my way. Olivia’s face went pale when she saw the smug expression on my face, her voice shaking as she started the lesson. Today, I was flying along with Michael against them and adrenaline raced through my veins.

I noted the face of the student as we made our way out to the planes though it wasn’t intentional to knock him out first. I was on fire and I landed with a grin and an erection that made me long for Molly. Nothing was better than taking a woman after a moment like this, buried so deep inside of her as I released all my stress.

After class, I asked Olivia to join me in my office. She nodded and followed me as I led the way, thinking of what to say through my adrenaline. “Take a seat.” I watched as she complied and crossed her legs in the pencil skirt that she wore. The look she gave me told me that she was ready and willing for anything I asked of her, smoldering and full of heat. That student was one lucky man with a woman like this, but I reminded myself that it was unprofessional.

“Are you dating a student, Olivia?” I asked her directly as she grimaced slightly. “You do know why I was brought here, don’t you? There was a pile of shit left over from the last scandal on this base.”

“There was a marriage involved in that,” she defended herself as I dropped into my chair and stared at her.

“It doesn’t fucking matter,” my voice was low as the rage rose inside of me. I hated sloppy behavior on a base, always had. I’d done my share of messing around with women in my younger days, but Dad always told me that I needed to keep it away from work. “He’s a student and you’re his teacher. I don’t even have to remind you how many things are wrong with that.”

“You could go out with me,” she suggested seductively as I narrowed my eyes. I couldn’t even with the lack of rules attached to the situation because I was falling for Molly.

“No, I can’t. I’m involved with someone,” I reminded her as Olivia raised a perfect dark eyebrow.

“She’s so young. What does she even do for you?” I crossed my arms over my chest.

“That is none of your business. Regardless of my personal life, you are not allowed to date a student. You need to end it immediately or else your job is on the line.” She stared at me with wide eyes. That was what I was here for and Olivia blinked at me.

“My job is on the line? I went to the movies with him one time and slept with him just a few times. Tell me you haven’t done that in your years with the force.” Her face was indignant and I glared at her.

“He is a student. He can’t have an edge on the others because of a relationship with you. Fuck someone off the base, Olivia. Keep it separate, for fuck’s sake.” She leaned back and pressed her full breasts out as if it was going to change my mind. “You don’t want to go down because of this. The last couple that did lost everything.” They were discharged after all, starting over after they pledged their life to the force.

Olivia stood and looked doubtfully at me for a moment. “You never wanted me, did you?” I shook my head. “He did. That’s why everything with him happened.”

“You are ten years in, Olivia. Don’t throw it all away for something so trivial. This isn’t the only place to find men.” I reminded her, still sitting as she pressed her lips together. Olivia was the girl in college that would fuck everyone, out of need or the chance to get ahead. It amazed me that she was rising on the base at all with her career. Olivia was a fucking instructor. Maybe there was more corruption here than I wanted to believe in the first place or maybe her heart was in the right place. She was only in her thirties, after all. She still had some growing up to do.

I headed to my car after the day ended, hoping that Olivia did end it with him. I could have fired her today, sent her packing but I think that she really did love her job. I made it clear that I would be watching her before ending the meeting.

Looking at the clock in my car, I noted that it was four o’clock. She’d been off work for a short while and might be napping, so I decided that I’d save dinner for another night and hope that she slept over tonight. I was still half-hard from the time in the air but it was a harsh reminder that nothing might be done about it unless I jerked myself off later. I headed home with that in mind, yawning as I pulled out of the parking lot. Maybe I needed a fucking nap. It was tough being a boss.

I took a shower when I got home, stroking myself into a hard orgasm before dressing in sweats and a t-shirt to watch the local news. I sent Molly a text when sports came on, waiting for a response. I didn’t expect to go over there for dinner every night as she’d joked about, even though the food was damn good. When she said that she and Noel were making fried chicken for dinner and offered to bring some with her later tonight, I frowned. She didn’t have a car, did she?

I agreed and dropped the phone beside me to keep watching the scores, smiling. Molly wanted to spend the night with me again and hope flared through my cock at the idea of her touching me. I double checked to make sure she had a way over and just relaxed as I snacked on some chips. I thought about her family here, considering taking them all to dinner or maybe cooking for them here. I got on well with them and I sensed a welcoming feeling from Keith now that he knew me a little more. He looked like he wanted to lecture me the first night I was there, but he wasn’t her father. I made a point of assuring him that I was going to treat Molly well since I had every intention of that.

Now that I had that out of the way, I could just get to know them.

I was dozing when I heard an engine. I lifted my head up to see that it was nine o’clock and walked groggily over to the door. I peered out to see the Jeep as Molly walked towards the door, seeing a hand wave from the window before it backed out. “I could have picked you up,” I told her as I opened the screen to let her by.
