    her with desire, possession and affection in his eyes. Could I be in love already? Jordyn wondered
    to herself. She had seen how he looked at her for months when he came in to get his coffee every
    morning. She even shared a few flirtatious glances herself. Her co-workers always commented that
    the commander didn’t come in for the coffee, but for her. She had slipped him a scone or a few
    cookies with his coffee more than once in the mornings. It was al part of the mating game it seemed
    because she now found herself beside the man who carried two simple Celtic rings in his pocket
    and heading to his Admiral’s office.
    His superior officer had agreed wholeheartedly to perform the ceremony and didn’t raise an
    eyebrow when he saw her pregnant bel y. Jordyn assumed that he’d seen more than a few
    impromptu weddings. She’d chosen to wear a simple maternity sundress and soft sandals. They
    were comfortable and cool since the bigger she got she tended to overheat. The simple ceremony
    was over quickly and in less than twenty minutes she was Mrs. Zack Hennessey. While she felt
    flustered, Zack looked cool as a cucumber and kissed the ring that was now on her finger. Jordyn felt
    the tiny flutter of excitement in her bel y.
    “One more stop before we head back and you can put your feet up,” Zack said.
    “Two more, actual y. We’ve got to grocery shop for Thanksgiving,” Jordyn said. “Do you have a
    tree you set up for Christmas?”
    He shook his head. “Honey, most of the time when Christmas came around we were
    entrenched somewhere not so nice. I don’t usual y celebrate Christmas. It has always just been
    another day for me.”
    “It’s the one time of the year when the whole world seems caring and happy,” Jordyn said. “I
    grew up as a ward of New York State. It seemed Christmas was the only holiday when they seemed
    to give a damn about us. I celebrate Christmas each year even if I’m alone.”
    Zack helped her into the car. “Then we’l celebrate. Nothing is too good for my wife.”
    She laughed. “Can you actual y believe we went through with this?”
    “Yes and I’d do it again. Hel , I should have asked you out months ago and we’d be an old
    married couple by now,” he teased. “I may have even been able to give you a proper wedding night.”
    “And why can’t you now?” she asked brazenly and then bit her lip and inwardly winced. Geez,
    way to put the horny out there, Jordyn .
    “You’re so far along I wouldn’t want to hurt you or the baby.” Zack cleared his throat. “I’d be
    gentle. I’m not saying I’m a randy goat or anything, and my last relationship was a year and a half
    ago. Plus, we get tested every few months and I’m good to go.”
    Jordyn fanned the heat from her cheeks, hoping that her blush wasn’t noticeable. “Um, here’s
    the thing. Women can have…sex up to the time of birth. Not that I’m expecting that you’d want to
    sleep with me; I’m like Shamu-sized by now. But I’ve not slept with anyone since I got pregnant. Plus,
    al my tests have come back clean as wel .” She covered her face wither hands. “Oh, God, just forget
    I said anything and if you pass a manhole just drop me in it.”
    Zack chuckled. “We’ve both put our foot in our mouths. Basical y, we’re attracted to each other
    and al systems are go. If it happens, it happens, sweetheart. Let’s just leave it at that for now.”
    “Okay,” she agreed.
    “We’re here. This is the military police. Now we’re married and we’re going to get help and have
    them intercede with island law enforcement,” he explained as they pul ed in front of another building
    on base.
    He helped her out of his Armada and held her hand as they went inside. They sat down with the
    military police in charge and she told her story. The man behind the desk listened to them with a look
    of sympathy on his face and took notes on his computer while she answered questions. She gave
    them as much
