left on the counter and was halfway through it before she returned. She took the piece of paper she had and tore it in half. He gestured for her to write first, waiting patiently as she scribbled her information on it. Then he did the same on the second piece. A moment later they exchanged information.
                  Chase folded the torn piece of paper carefully, then stuck it in his wallet. As soon as he could, he would program it into his phone send an email to himself with her info. He didn’t want to take a chance of losing her info.
                  “I won’t arrive until tomorrow according to the flight plans. There is about a eight hour and thirty minute time difference between here and where I will be stationed. It’s going to take me a while to get settled after I land. I’ll text you to let you know I landed safely with each stop, but I can’t promise you more than that for the first week.”
                  Willow nodded. “I understand. You have a job to do. Just make sure you do it right the first time and come back safe.”
                  An unfamiliar emotion swamped him. That was the first time someone besides his parents had made that request of him. But it felt different coming from Willow. Now there was just one last thing he had to do before he left. 
                  Chase pulled her into his embrace as he leaned in. He had to taste her one more time, it would have to last him for six months. There was no hesitation from her as he pressed his mouth against hers. She kissed him back, her mouth warm and soft and welcoming. Then she slid her hand around his neck and it was all he could do not to strip the robe off of her and take her back to bed. But he didn’t have time and he didn’t have any condoms.
                  He cursed that his time with her was so limited because all he wanted was to bring her against him, to feel that gorgeous supple body. Only being able to touch her with his mouth was torture. But time was of the essence so he dragged himself back, ending the kiss.  
                  Willow looked as needy as he felt.
                  “I should go,” he stated. 
                  “I know,” she murmured. “Have a safe trip soldier.”

                  “Well, I don’t need to ask you how last night went,” Geneva stated, as she reached for the tea the waitress had just placed on the table. “You’re radiating more than the freaking sun right now.”
                  Embarrassment and giddiness surged through Willow as she glanced around the cafe before looking back at her best friend. Thankfully no one seemed to be paying attention. While Hopkinsville had a population over thirty thousand, there were still days where it felt like a smaller city. Considering where she worked, she didn’t need her business getting out to the wrong person.
                  “Last night went fine. Now, let’s change the topic to something else.”
                  “Uh-uh. I know you don’t really think that is going to happen. What do you think the entire point of this lunch is?”
                  “To eat?”
                  Geneva smiled. “Nice try. So tell me all about last night.”
                  “I don’t think so. Let’s just say I had a very nice time and leave it at that.”
                  Fortunately, Willow was given slight reprieve as their food was delivered. She refused to tell her friend, how nervous she was concerning the plans she’d made with Chase. While she didn’t think he wasn’t a man of his word, anxiety swamped her.
                  After he’d left her apartment this morning, she’d crawled back to bed and snuggled up next to the pillow with his scent still on it. She’d managed to get a few more hours of much
