Ever since that extra pull-up punishment, you’ve only had one thing on your mind when it came to Lieutenant Riley. Payback. The first thing that came to mind was a trick as old as time, hand in the warm water. You kept your phone close by as you snuck into his quarters, then into his room.

You set your phone down on his bedside table, the last thing you wanted was to drop anything, especially now. The room wasn’t small, but there was no way to go around the bed without stepping on one of his many gear articles or weapons.

So, you climbed into his bed, moving carefully with each of his snores. You set the water bucket down, now all you had to do was grab his hand and—! Before you knew it, his hands flew to your hips, keeping you in place.
