The four of us were pumped. This was our first mission since we had left the military and formed the company. We all had seen so much negative in the world, and we wanted to make a positive difference. Plus, we enjoyed the challenge and the action.
We got close to the camp on her fifth day in captivity. Heart racing and adrenaline pumping, I snuck up close to the shed.
A lone guard was sitting off to the side. I managed to sneak up behind him and hit him in the back of the head with a rock and drag him off into a nearby stand of trees. I took off his robes, turban, and mask and put those on. Then, I gagged him and tied him to a tree. I figured someone would find him sooner or later and cut him loose.
I sat at his post. When another guard was taking her food, I walked in with him. He wasn’t very observant—he didn’t seem to notice that I was not his comrade.
I could tell Elise noticed because I could see the shock in her eyes. I winked at her, and she bowed her head in acknowledgment. She knew that we had come to get her out of there.
Right at dark, I slipped back into her hut. She saw me and stood up. She had to know I wasn’t one of her regular captors because I was at least a foot taller than the rest of them.
I could see that she was trying to control her breathing. She was trembling, but she tried to hide it. Her head was held high. She didn’t say anything because she didn’t know who could be listening.
I knelt down and used the key that I had taken off the guard to unlock her shackles. As soon as her feet were free, she grabbed her shoes and put them on. They were high heels, but they would be better than trying to run through the forest barefoot.
Pulling her close to me, I whispered in her ear. “My friends are in the camp. They are going to cause a few distractions. As soon as we hear the noise, we will run into the woods.”
She nodded that she understood. Elise stared into my eyes, and I noticed that she had the most compelling violet eyes. I had never seen anyone with purple eyes before.
Before I could stop myself, I bent my head, wrapped my arms around her, and captured her mouth with mine. There was no soft, introduction touch. I devoured her, pressing my lips against hers.
Her lips parted, and my tongue invaded her mouth. My fingers from one hand tangled in her hair, while my other hand was pressed against her back, pushing her body close to mine. Elise’s curves fit perfectly against my body, and I was instantly attracted to this woman, who was not only physically beautiful, but was also brave, sassy, and intelligent.
She sighed as my hand moved from her upper back, down, until it rested above her round bottom that was perfect for holding and squeezing. My tongue moved around her mouth, exploring. She moaned and wrapped her arms around me, holding me as tightly as I held her. She gently nibbled on my tongue and then stroked it with hers. She was giving.
A different type of heat exploded in my body. Her gorgeous curvy figure and her bravery made me want her in a way that I had never wanted a woman before. She was all woman, but she wasn’t a simpering maid. I could tell that from her video and her reactions when she saw me earlier and now.
I almost forgot where we were, as I was drowned in the rushing waves of searing heat that exploded in my body. I could feel my cock stiffening, as she ran her hands up and down my back, resting in the same spot above my butt that my hand was resting on hers.
She kissed me with the intensity of a starving woman who was being given her first meal. She wasn’t shy or intrepid. She took what she wanted. Although I had started the kiss, she kissed me back with a passion that told me that Elise never did anything half-hearted. Once she committed to an act, she gave it her all.
As her tongue pushed mine out of her mouth and invaded mine, she explored me just as I had her a moment ago. I moaned as she rubbed the roof of my mouth and then stroked the top of my tongue.
I was so engrossed in this woman that I almost missed the first explosion that blasted from the other side of camp. With great difficulty, I ended the kiss.
“Do you have anything you need to grab?” I asked her.
She shook her head. “They took my purse when they kidnapped me. All I have is what I’m wearing.”
I nodded. I waited for the second blast to make sure the guards outside of her hut would be drawn away. When it echoed against the mountain behind the camp, I heard the men outside her door shouting as they ran toward it.
Grabbing Elise’s hand, I cautiously stepped out of the hut. The coast was clear.
We ran out of the hut, but we were quickly spotted. A few men started chasing us, but a huge grizzly bear, dragon, and tiger blocked their way.
“Friends of yours?” she asked.
“Yep,” I said as we slipped into the darkness of the forest.

Elise
That had to be the most phenomenal kiss I had ever experienced. His silver eyes were incredible. Between that and the situation, I couldn’t resist him when his lips captured mine. I had never been so bold before, kissing him, tasting him, pushing my tongue into his mouth.
Of course, I had only kissed two other men, and those kisses were nowhere near as passionate as this one. No matter what else happened on this trip, that kiss made everything worth it.
The explosions started, which caused my heart to jump into my throat. Apparently, that meant it was time to go.
