<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bf80bf">For a brief moment, Cole felt his spine shiver. He had worked a bit to get where he was, and for someone his age, it was rather average to be there. But if he were removed, he wouldnâ??t be able to climb back up to his position, as it was just regular protocol. The coffee skinned male was also worried about the Private, as his lover shouldnâ??t be punished for his mistakesâ??his as he had suggested the laundry room. Whether or not people found out that he had been sleeping with another man was not his issue to worry, as he didnâ??t care of gender. Brad wasnâ??t just a body though, as he was someone that he had held in the late nights, talked to, and didnâ??t even have to get something out of.<br/>

Taking a chance, when he heard that she wasnâ??t going to tattle on them, he gazed over at Brad, squeezed his hand, and then stepped up to the Colonel. If they were going to do this, they were going to all be in this and will all go down if one went down. Licking his lips, he unexpectedly wrapped his fingers around the back of her neck, cradling her skull with his larger hand. His lover was watching, but he hoped that Brad would understand. Leaning in, he pressed his lips against the Colonelâ??s lips, kissing her with a bit more force than he needed to. No tongues were slipped into anyoneâ??s mouths, but the meshing of lips were enough to prove a point.<br/>
<br/>
They were going off of words right now, of her witness against his witness, against Bradâ??sâ?¦ if she was going to tattle for Brad and Cole, then he was going to tattle that they had done something as well. And it wouldnâ??t be a lie, because if they hooked him up to the lie detector, and he answered that he had done something with her, then he would come out positive. Pulling back so that their lips were ghosting against one anotherâ??s, he let out a puff of warm breath that smelled like the mint cake that they had for dinner earlier. â??Is this why you stayed, <i>Colonel</i>?â?</span>
