With the way heâd started to tilt the screen of his laptop back, there was now a glare settling over the portion of his screen where heâd typed a few of his own notes down. An entire wash over the section, making it so that he could barely see what he was passively notating once heâd responded to Leonâ in his defense, he was putting a foot down on the gas to get his attention back to where it needed to be, but he knew heâd already dug himself a grave by entertaining the texts in the first place.Â
âWith the progress we have, I feel we may be able to advance within the next couple of weeks. Everything is clear from our reports and surveillance.â Rolando affirmed while Chris let his eyes squint to try and trail over every detail he had on his end.Â
âI agree, we just need to be careful. Even in these next few weeks, if thatâs the timeline that seems to best fit post-recon, anything could change. I will give a clear date tomorrow for us to focus on after I go through everything weâve talked about today, this way the idea is clear on when to prep and go.â Chris brought a hand to tilt his monitor back down just a fraction, adjusting against the annoying after-haze of the setting sun to type his thoughts down, reiterating the confirmation thatâd just been relayed.Â
His phone went off in that time.Â
Heâd left it with the screen up to easily read everything heâd been receiving now, something he wasnât certain on whether or not it was a mistake. It was the second text that had him shifting in his seat, grating his teeth together between the hard crunch of his jaw as he continued to press his fingers hastily against the keys.Â
âIâll be seeing Dion in a few days, I can go over everything that I have from this, too. He should be returning with any signature readings that may have popped up over his few days of staking the area.â Charlie informed.Â
Chris nodded in acknowledgement; he wouldâve preferred everyone be here on the call, but that wasnât possible when two others from his squad were currently at the site. It was a patrol that was being done in sequences, and each meeting had become tedious in getting everyone together at the same time. It didnât worry him too much, as they all continued to work on the same page, and he would get everyone together for one last base touch before they went wheels up together. It wasnât a perfect system, but he had enough faith in his team over a job that was much smaller in comparison to most of what theyâd done togetherâ which wasn't a lot, but starting with a large-scale attack on a village set the scene for how theyâd operate together moving forward.
In essence, Chris trusted his team. Not something he felt often, anymore.Â
The steady hum of his phone grabbed his attention once more, and upon glancing at the notification this time, Chris could feel his heart drop down into his stomach before rocketing itself back up.
From the speaker of his laptop, Rolando started to ramble about potential error margins, which had been exactly Chrisâs next point as well, mostly as a lead in from his statement prior. The rhythm of the way they all worked was the type of cohesion that heâd been looking for, and with his second-in-command taking the reins on what would likely be the last segment of this call, Chris chanced his attention toward his phone.Â
Be the bigger person here and just wait. This meeting is almost over, this is the last bullet point. Should be no longer than ten minutes.
Not like the ache in his pants appreciated the idea or the rouse at all. Not at a time like this.
The thumbnail was enticing enough; Leon with his legs spread, bent at the knees, giving a full view of everything the front had to offer with a hand wrapped around his cock. The expression over his features ignited a low fire within Chrisâs stomach; the light pinch of his brows, the flush over his cheeks thatâd dusted down toward his chest.
He quickly made sure that the volume of his phone was off before pressing on the videoâ the fix of his eyes instantly trained themselves on the languid, lazy movement of Leonâs hand. The video wasnât longâ short enough for Chris to watch it at least three times to take in the view of everything that it offered, finding a new place to focus his attention each time it repeated. The train to his vision zeroed on Leonâs lips during the third cycle, and even without the sound he knew exactly what it was thatâd been bumbling from his mouth.Â
[TXT]: The moment this is over, Iâll be there
[TXT]: Keep playing with yourself, but donât cum
[TXT]: Make yourself useful and fuck yourself on your fingers for me
âDoes that sound like everything, Captain?â
Chris slid his phone away from his laptop, nodding more hastily than heâd initially intended.
âAre you sure youâre not sick?â Charlie repeated, and Chris met his features upon the screen with a scowl.Â
âIâm not sickâ the plan sounds good. These measures are accurate, and weâll need to keep all of this in mind moving forward. For now, we continue our surveillance over the course of the next week or two, and tomorrow Iâll touch base with everyone throughout the day to relay a potential drop date. Continue to monitor the area, if we uncover anything during these few weeks, weâll take a step back and look at what we have. So far, as said, everything is going according to plan. But, again, you both know that that can change on a dime.â If the clip to his tone was noted, he would need to bite the urge to slam his laptop shut. Not only was it unprofessional, but these two didnât deserve the brunt of his frustration like this. âKeep up the good work, and weâll revisit this at the same time next week. Iâll try to manage times to get everyone together and make this a little more efficient, if we plan to roll out the following week.âÂ
