Gambit

Ican’t stop. I find myself watching her. I even broke into her dorm room and bypassed her security system just so I could be in her space for a while. I want her still, but I can’t have her. My cock seems to only come alive for her. I thought I could get her out of my system by fucking a sweet butt, but that didn’t work.

I’ve been here on campus since my alert went off that she was up and out. I don’t know why she got up so early. The first chance I get, I plan on sneaking back into her dorm room to install a few cameras so I can keep a closer eye on her. She’s too trusting. I won’t have her, but I’ll make sure she’s safe. Plus, I can’t make my heart stop caring for her.

I stick around until she makes her way across campus to the library, where I know she’ll study until her final this afternoon. I have an alert on her dorm suite. It notifies me when she comes and goes. I also have a tracker on her phone, but for some reason it isn’t working.

One of her morning guards approaches her, and I watch as he hands her an unmistakable white box. Something must have happened to her cell phone, and her guard just gave her a new one. I’ll have to find out what happened with the old one.

I got her fingerprints the last time I was in her room and sent them off to a friend from my former unit to run some research for me. I need to know more about her.

Leaving her to her studies, I head back to her dorm building, utilizing the app on my phone to blank out the cameras so I’m not seen. I know Rogue will run diagnostics to try to figure outwhat’s going on with the system, but I don’t care. I have to do this.

I make my way up to her room, bypassing her alarm system and making it look like it’s still engaged. This allows me to roam freely around her suite. I stand in front of her mirror, lift up her body lotion, and take a deep sniff before snapping a picture of the bottle so I can buy some for my house.

I get to work installing the cameras, leaving her privacy in the bathroom. But the rest of her room is wired. I turn to her bed and notice the blankets are pulled off one side and the pillows are scattered. Either my girl had company, or she moves around a lot in her sleep. Her little dorm room is in more disarray than the last time I was here.

Unable to resist, I make her bed and rearrange a few things in her room. I fight the urge to leave her a note, letting her know I was here. I move back to her mirror, and a sick thought runs through my mind. I start searching her room but don’t find what I’m looking for. I’ve already mirrored her computer and will need to get closer to mirror her tablet and new cell phone, which I’ll manage soon enough. I need to check her calendar. Is my girl on birth control? I know she’s a virgin based on how she was with me. If she is on birth control, I can’t tie her to me when I finally get the chance.

My phone pings, and I retrieve it from my pocket. It’s a message from Browser, informing me he has her file.

Browser: She has some shadows watching her, so I had to be careful and couldn’t get everything.

I figured Rogue would have a tight rein on my girl.

Me: Yeah, she has a security conscious parent.

I don’t explain more because I don’t need Commander coming down on me. I already have my VP, Striker, trying to figure me out, and Rogue will be after me soon enough. I’m sure Commander would side with Rogue if he got involved. She cando no wrong in his eyes. She’s been like a little sister to me even though we are the same age. It makes me think about the fact that she was so much more mature than I was back then. She took a young Franci in when she was young herself. I don’t know if I would have done that. Well, maybe I would have—if it meant grooming her to be mine.

My mind is fucking sick.

All I can think about is the fact that if I knock her up, Rogue can’t stop me from having her. It would accomplish so much. I’ll finally have my own family again. Just the thought of my parents makes my heart clench. I miss my mama, but my father can take a fucking leap for all I care. He disowned me because I wanted to join the Army. He said I would be a murderer and a baby killer. He’s always been against the military. He was mad because I would be taking a life instead of healing it, like the doctor he is, even though it was for our country.

With a pair of Franci’s dirty panties in my pocket, I make my way out of her dorm and head across campus. I avoid her security detail by doing what I do best, what the military trained me to do. I evade and observe, attacking only when necessary. It’s like muscle memory as I keep myself hidden in a small alcove near where she’s seated. I wait until they aren’t looking and pull her into it with me.

“Hey! What are you doing?” She starts to fight me.

“Little girl, it’s me,” I whisper in her ear, and she stills, her body taut and ready to fight me or flee. I hurt her, and I know it. “Are you safe?” I have no reason to detain her other than wanting to hold her and feel her body against mine.

“Yes.” Her reply is clipped. Clearly, she’s not happy with me.

“Believe me, I want to be with you, but you are too young for me. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.” I notice the dark shadows under her doe eyes. She stiffens even more, if that’s possible.

“Don’t worry about me. Worry about yourself when my detail finds out you detained me.”

I know I don’t have much time.

“Be careful.” I want to say so much more, but she’s right, they are looking now.

I slip out behind her and check my cell phone. I’ve successfully mirrored her phone and tablet now. I can’t stop my lips from tipping up.

CHAPTER 3

GAMBIT

Ireviewed Franci’s file and couldn’t believe what I saw. She watched as her family was attacked and murdered in front of her. The footage was gruesome and hard to stomach. The only reason we have the video at all is because an anonymous source turned over their bodycam footage. It’s easy to figure out who that source was, and I’m shocked Rogue witnessed it too.

It still shocks me that Rogue was farmed out to that contractor after we were benched following Deere’s death. I rub the tattoo dedicated to him on the right side of my chest. If he hadn’t been killed, my girl could be dead now. Rogue wouldn’t have been there to save her. I looked through her records and saw where her name changed from Albana to Franclynn. Rogue did everything for her, sacrificing her career and taking her in. For all intents and purposes, Franci is her child.
