Page 4 of SEAL Summer Escape

Mason had been there at the London pub when Emma and Hunter had first met.The chemistry between them had sizzled right from the start.From the looks of things, it hadn’t fizzled out at all since she’d moved here.If anything, Hunter was even more sickeningly sweet toward her.

Hunter.

One of the biggest, baddest dudes on their SEAL team, brought to his knees by a British chick.

“What’s so funny?”Hunter asked.

“I see who wears the pants in your relationship.Emma looks like she calls all the shots.She’s got you wrapped around her finger.”

“Thank you,” Emma said.“I always knew I liked you, Mason.Handsome and intelligent.”

“Hey,” Hunter said in a low voice, nuzzling her neck as she squirmed.“Don’t make me jealous over here.”

“Over here?”Emma asked with a laugh.“I’m literally on top of you.How could you be jealous?”

Hunter raised his eyebrows.“On top of me?Hell, I like the sound of that.”

Emma blushed furiously as Mason guffawed.

Noah, Jacob, and Ryker walked in together just then, sauntering toward the back.Emma’s gaze fell on Noah, her lips quirking in amusement.“I think your aviators are glued to your head.I’ve never seen you without them.”

The men all chuckled as Noah grinned.“They do seem to attract the ladies.And don’t worry—I make sure to take them off when I have a woman in my bed.Can’t have them falling off during sex.”

Hunter growled from his seat.“She wasn’t worried—and she sure as hell wasn’t thinking about you having sex.”

Noah smirked.“That makes one of us.I’m already hoping to find a beautiful woman to bring home with me for the night.Just have to decide who the lucky lady is.”

“Well, it sure as hell isn’t your looks that draws the ladies in,” Ryker said, grabbing a chair and sinking backwards onto it.“Hunter, Emma,” he said, nodding at the couple.

“Where’s the waitress?”Jacob asked, glancing around.“Is Taylor here tonight?”

Hunter shook his head, his eyes sweeping toward Mason.“I haven’t seen her the last couple of times we’ve been here.”

Mason frowned.“Me either.I was just saying earlier that something seems off with her.She used to be working practically every night, and she’s hardly around anymore.”

A young, blonde waitress walked over to their table, notepad in hand.“What can I get you boys tonight?”she asked, her pink lips shining with some type of lip gloss.Her gaze raked over Ryker, and Mason smirked.

“How about your phone number?”Noah teased.

She batted her heavily made-up eyes at him.“I’m not sure if you’re my type,” she teased him.

“Well, you’re certainly mine,” he quipped.

Hunter’s gaze swept from Noah to their waitress.“A round of beers for everyone.On me.We’re celebrating tonight.”

“Hoorah!”Noah said with a grin.

“Hell,” Ryker said as the blonde waitress walked away.“Colton and Camila aren’t even here yet.”

“So we’ll order them a round when they get here,” Hunter said.“No reason we can’t get started.”

“Hey fellas,” a voice drawled, and Mason glanced over to see Matthew “Gator” Murphy walking over with Brent “Cobra” Rollins.The two men were on the Alpha SEAL team at Little Creek.Both the Alpha and Delta teams worked together at times, deploying jointly on missions.The Delta team had just gotten back from Colombia though while the Alpha team had been in the Middle East.

“Where’s your better halves?”Jacob asked.

Brent smirked at them.“Ella’s busy taking a class.She’s actually going to graduate early in December but wants to get her Master’s Degree after that.She was accepted to a graduate program here.”

“Hell, that’s awesome, man,” Mason said, nodding at the other SEAL.“To transfer schools and finish early is pretty sweet.And grad school, too?Fantastic.”
