Don’t Poke The Bear

Chapter 8 Mamba/Carmen

Mamba/Carmen

I’d had a week from hell with my family and I needed to get away from them. I loved them all so much but they could drain the life out of me and to top it off I had to report back to the training military academy. Myself and the other agents all took turns returning there to scout for new agents. We were only interested in the best of the best. I had only just arrived when I was asked into the superior officers private office. His name was Major Connor and he was incredibly handsome and unbelievably charming. Before I went in I put on my skirt suit and heels. He sat at his desk and as I walked in he stood to solute me. I couldn’t help but cheer inside every time he did it because he had trained me and now I was above him. He was at least ten years older than me and I had caught his eye when I first went there for my officer training and I was at the top of the class for everything. Being back in his office reminded me of the first day I went there. I was nervous and he was incredibly sweet. I had completed my university degree as well as my full army training at the same time so I was used to the discipline of the Army. I had only just turned Twenty when I met him and I stood fixed to the spot staring at the wall as he paced in front of me asking questions. He made me feel like I was the most facinanting person he’d ever met. I was incredibly flattered because he was so high up that I couldn’t help but smile as he stood in front of me with his hands in his pockets agreeing with everything I said. I liked how informal he was towards me. Then he told me that I was beautiful and that I should think about working under cover for MI6. Although his compliment was flattering I could tell that he was just stating a fact so it didn’t feel like he was a creep. As the months passed all of the other cadets noticed that he was giving me special attention but none of them had the balls to say it to my face. Not only was I top of the class but I was by far the alpha and no one ever stood up to me and I didn’t see it any different to being part of my crazy family. I wasn’t a bully but I didn’t take any s**t either and I think that’s why people were drawn to me. One morning Major Connor presented me with an award for smashing the military academy obstacle course record. The course was both physically and mentally draining and I could see people rolling their eyes that I had won and that I had smashed the record but I didn’t care because they were clearly jealous and I was proud of myself. Major Connor gently put his hand on the small of my back as we posed together for a photo and it was the first time he had ever touched me and the thrill of it took my breath away. I had always loved going to his office because he was gorgeous and he would sit at his desk and give me advice and I appreciated that he took a special interest in me. After the award ceremony he invited me to his office and he was telling me how proud he was of me but I wasn’t listening to a word that he was saying. He would always take off his suit jacket and roll up his shirt sleeves and although he was still wearing a tie it made him look more relaxed in my company. I was so turned on but a little while later I had finally managed to calm myself down and it was time for lunch. A guy bumped into my lunch tray in the cafeteria and we had a bit of an argument, I’d always had a terrible temper but I had worked hard to control it. He said I should run and tell my boyfriend Major Connor and I lost it. As I kicked the s**t out of him in the middle of the busy cafeteria it took five soldiers to get me off of him. We were both took straight to Major Connors office and although I was scared of the consequences of my actions I wouldn’t have changed a thing. This piece of s**t had basically accused me of sleeping my way to the top of the class when I knew I had worked hard and I had been so proud of myself. Also I kind of liked Major Connor and I hated that people thought he could use a young woman like me for s*x. He was too professional not to mention that he was a married man. I stood next to this stupid guy as Major Connor paced in front of us asking us about the incident in the cafeteria. The guys hair was a mess and he had a burst lip and nose and a black eye. “Nothing happened” he said and I respected him because he hadn’t thrown me under the bus. Although maybe he didn’t want to admit that a 5 foot girl had just humiliated him in front of the entire campus. Major Connor excused him and told me that I had to stay behind. I managed to control my breathing, I was nervous because I didn’t want Major Connor to give me a hard time. I looked up to him so much and the idea that he didn’t see me as the perfect soldier almost brought me to tears. As the guy left Major Connor took a deep breath and then started to laugh. It was loud and hearty and I joined in too. He sat on the edge of his desk with his hands in his pockets “so what happened?” He said with a smile. “He was rude to me” I said with a pout and he laughed again “you have to learn to control yourself, you can’t give in to your impulses. I know it’s not easy but you have to try” I liked that he was telling me off and he was so sexy that I wanted to jump on him but I managed to control myself “he started it” I said and I was aware that I sounded like a brat and he laughed again “what did he say?” Without hesitation I told him the truth.. well, a half truth. “He said that he thought I was sleeping with a superior officer and that’s why I won the race. Which doesn’t even make sense” His eyebrows were down and it was the first time I had ever seen him look angry. “Who did he accuse you of seeping with?” He asked and I didn’t want to admit that it was him because I would have died with embarrassment. “He didn’t say a name” his face softened “I know this goes without saying but I have to ask.. are you sleeping with a superior officer?” I shook my head “absolutely not…” he put his hand up to stop me from talking “good” was all he said and I guessed that the last thing he needed was to find out one of the new cadets were having s*x with one of the military trainers. “If he says anything to you again I want you to come straight to me, do you understand?” He was asking me to run to him for help and that was something I couldn’t do. “I mean it, come to me” he said again and although he had often held meetings with us about anti bullying and how it was not tolerated there, I knew as well as he did that this place was like a snake pit with prison rules. “I’m sorry I can’t do that” I said and he stood up. “Has someone hurt you? I can order a nurse to examine you if you don’t tell me” I suppressed a smile “no one would dare to hurt me” I said and his shoulders relaxed. “Maybe I should examine you myself” he said and the s****l innuendo was not lost on me but I choose to ignore it. “Honestly no one has hurt me, just look what I did to his face.. but I will have to be punished for what I did to him today or people might think I’m sleeping with you” he nodded his head in agreement. When I finally looked away from the wall he was sitting back behind his desk and as he pulled his chair in he said “I will find a suitable punishment for you.” He looked so serious and we stared at each other for a moment and I’d hadn’t been that turned on in years.
