Alex didn’t want things to end up like this, keeping your relationship a secret. But rules were rules, and he was a loyal soldier, willing to abide to the laws, sort of.

Relationships within the team and workplace were strongly forbidden because it might strain the bond between soldiers if something were to happen. He knew that. Of course he did, but so did you, yet you two still took the risk.

He didn’t mean for you to get in the way of his work, but goddamnit he would do anything for you. Even if it meant sacrificing his work for a little time with you.

The sound of his heavy breathing mixed with yours as he pushed off your jacket, kissing you messily as he guided you around his office. He was about to clear off his desk when he heard what he never wanted to hear, a knock. A voice called out from the other side of the door, “Keller! You got a minute?”

He sighed heavily, his head drooping ever so slightly as he broke away from the kiss. “Not now, I’m busy.” He frowned a little, keeping you quiet as he heard a defeated sigh and watched the shadow of a soldier walking away from his door.
