Macalister stepped back and reached for Samantha’s hand, then in one swift motion he bent down and kissed her hand. “I’m sorry, ma’am, please accept my apology. I forget myself sometimes, especially when I am close to a beautiful woman.” Winking at Sam, he raised up. “If there is anything you need, I will be right here.”
With all the commotion Raleigh hadn’t noticed the other men had risen to their feet to greet them. Raleigh made the introductions after Macalister had finished talking to Sam.
“It’s great meeting all of you,” Sam said as she noticed that Jackson Tolliver had pulled a chair out for her and was waiting for her to sit down. “Thank you. May I call you Jackson?” she asked.
“Oh yes, ma’am, you may,” Jackson replied as he pushed the chair in for her.
“You beat me to it, Jackson. Another true Southern gentleman right there, Ms. Sam.” Raleigh patted Jackson on the shoulder.
“Thank you,” Raleigh said as he took the chair next to Samantha. “So how long have you degenerates been here?” Raleigh asked with a huge grin on his face. Samantha noticed how Raleigh’s whole demeanor changed around his men—a happiness, or maybe more contentment, she hadn’t seen in him before. She wasn’t sure, but it made her happy to see him smiling. Samantha thought back to the conversation she had overheard earlier in the day between Raleigh and his mysterious caller.
It was becoming quite clear to her that he wanted to be back here with his men. They were his family; she could tell just by their interactions. As she sat watching them, she could see the pure joy those four men brought to Raleigh. He truly loved his men like brothers, like his family. She only hoped he had room for her once he came back here.
As the men sat, joked, and drank pitcher after pitcher of beer, Samantha kinda felt like the odd one out, but she watched and listened as story after story flowed. She was beginning to learn more about Raleigh than she ever thought she would. When the conversation changed to that of Raleigh’s ex-girlfriend, Raleigh attempted to squash the topic, but Bryant kept on. She could see in Raleigh’s face that he was embarrassed, but Samantha slipped her hand under the table and placed her hand on his leg. It was her way of showing Raleigh that she supported him and it was okay. He looked over at Samantha and mouthed I love you. Samantha smiled and leaned over to whisper in his ear. “I love you too, Raleigh Fitzgerald. Don’t you ever forget that.”
Raleigh sat for a second and let it sink in, then he turned to her and smiled. In one single motion, he wrapped an arm around her, pulled her into him, and kissed her. He didn’t attempt to hide it; he picked her up and twirled his way to the dance floor. Holding her tightly around her waist with one arm and holding her cheek in the other, he bent down and kissed her again.
When he finally came up from their kiss, he looked at her, his eyes so full of love, and said, “Baby, I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. I know we have to be careful right now, but know everything will work out. Once all of this is over, we can be together and not hide in the shadows. I already have things in motion. You just gotta be a little patient. You, Ms. Sam, have made me the happiest man alive, and I love you more than life itself.”
“What about your guys? Will they stay silent and keep our secret?” she asked.
“Yeah, darlin’, they will. I trust them as much as I trust you. We are family, and they know how I feel about you.”
“How do they know? Did you tell them already?” Sam questioned.
“Nope, don’t have to, they just know. And when we get back to the hotel, I am gonna show you just how much you mean to me.” Raleigh pressed his rock hard cock against her leg. “You feel that? That is what you do to me. If I could bend you over on this dance floor right now, I would. You are the only woman I have ever met that can keep me in a constant state of desire,” he said, smiling at her.
Samantha paused for a moment then lifted up on her toes to whisper into his ear. Raleigh bent down to meet her halfway. “You know, Chief, we can go outside for a break, and I can give you a glimpse of what’s to come and a bit of attention until we get back to the hotel. I really miss having your stiff cock in my mouth and wouldn’t mind getting a little taste of you to tide me over. What do you say, you wanna disappear for a few minutes while I suck your cock out back?”
Raleigh’s heart raced, and his cock thickened and twitched inside his jeans. He reached down and grabbed Sam’s face, holding her cheeks and kissing her deeply. Finally answering her question, he said, “My God, yes baby, but promise me to stop when I say stop. I don’t wanna come yet. I wanna build up the tease until we get to the hotel. Deal?”
“Yeah, deal!” She winked at him. “Which way is the bathroom?”
Raleigh pointed towards the back of the bar then said, “I will meet you in three minutes. Go out the back door. Don’t worry, there is no alarm. It goes to the smoking area. Just meet me out at the parking lot. There is a nice big tree and some grass across from the lot. Meet me there.”
“I will,” Sam said then stepped off the dance floor, leaving Raleigh. He watched as she headed toward the restroom near the back of the bar. He turned toward his friends, walking over to the table. The first one to speak was Macalister.

Raleigh
“Well, you got it bad, Chief! Don’t think I ever saw you like this with Kristen.”
“Let’s not mention that sewer slut anymore. Kristen is not even in the same league as Samantha,” Raleigh replied.
“Okay, well, ya know the sewer slut is back in town. She stopped by my place the other night, looking for you. I think she heard you were in town.”
“Do me a favor, guys, and if you see her, tell her I left town already. You haven’t seen me and don’t expect to. I don’t want Samantha dealing with Kristen’s crap. Damned pyscho bitch!” Raleigh grumbled.
The men all agreed in unison. “No problem, Chief. We got your back!”
Raleigh glanced toward the back of the bar. “Looks like the line for the latrine went down. I am gonna go use the bathroom. I will be right back. Save our seats.”
Chapter 6
When Raleigh popped open the back door, he didn’t see Samantha at first, but then she moved from behind the tree, and he rushed to her side. Sweeping her up in his arms, he asked, “Miss me, baby?” swinging her through the air and finally placing her gently on the grass in front of him, softly kissing her. He did love the feel of her lips and the softness of her skin, and her scent drove him wild. As their kiss deepened, Raleigh could feel his cock fill to the point his jeans were painful. When Sam moved her hands over his t-shirt and into his belt, he felt his cock jab into his zipper, begging its way out.
As Samantha slowly unzipped his jeans, she found his rigid cock as it fell from captivity and stood straight out, waiting for her to wrap her mouth around it. She knelt at his feet, and Raleigh let out a gasp of pure lust as he anxiously awaited the warmth and moistness of Sam’s mouth on his cock. The anticipation was already killing him with the first twinge of pleasure.
She licked the tip of his cock and moaned as she took his taste in. “Raleigh, you taste so good to me. You want me to give you more?” she questioned, looking up into his eyes. “Baby, you want me to take you all in?”
Raleigh’s hips were begging for her to engulf him, but Samantha held her ground, teasing. “Baby, do you want me to take your rock hard cock and shove it in my mouth?”
Raleigh attempted to hold Samantha’s head in place. “Oh no, you don’t! That’s cheating,” she commanded. Wiggling out of his grasp, she looked up at him sternly but with an evil grin that crept just out of the corner of her mouth.
She asked again. “Do you want me to suck your cock, Raleigh?”
“Yes, please. Please, baby, do it now. Please,” Raleigh begged. His body trembled as she wrapped her fingers around his swollen cock, moaning louder as she got closer. He could feel her breath as she inched closer to his tip. The anticipation was almost mind-numbing to him.

Samantha smiled as she looked up at him, opened her mouth, and slid his cock inside, sucking as she moved up and down his shaft. Raleigh begged for more; Samantha quickened her movements as Raleigh’s moans became almost too much for the quiet hilltop area. If someone came outside for a smoke, they would be in for a real show. Raleigh continued to beg Samantha to go faster, but she knew he also wanted to hold out for the hotel. So she took her time with each passing movement, each moan from Raleigh made her wetter, and she wanted so much to push up her skirt and let Raleigh take her right then and there.
But she would follow his instructions and quit when he said stop. She could feel his cock as it thickened and filled and knew he was close but continued her barrage; the combination of sucking and licking was soon going to send him over the edge. She also knew that whenever he placed his hand on her head, it was a sign he was getting close. It had only been a few months, and she already knew him as she knew herself—at least sexually she did. So if he didn’t say something soon, she would stop when his hand touched her head.
When Raleigh’s hips began to move and his cock slid in and out of her mouth, he soon grabbed her hair in an attempt to steady himself. Samantha knew it was time. She brushed off his hand, looked up in his deep, glazed, hazel eyes and said, “Okay, baby, that’s all ya get till we get to the hotel.”
Raleigh’s eyes shot open, and his moan turned to a grunt. He was not ready for it to end but agreed he was getting too close to make the decision on his own. “I knew I could count on you, baby,” he said, smiling down at her. He reached his hand to her. “Here, baby, let me help you up.” Once she was back on her feet, he leaned in and kissed her. “Sammy, baby, you sure know how to make a man want you, and you sure know what I like. My head is still spinning, and my cock is ready to burst.”
“Well, I am ready whenever you are,” she said as she brushed the grass from her knees. “Just say the word, Raleigh, and I will be the first in the truck.”
“Oh, not yet, darlin’. I still wanna have a li’l fun with you. I got something for ya.”
“Oh really?” she replied.
“Oh yes. Why don’t you head in first and get sat down and I’ll be right in? Don’t cross your legs, though. I want those legs spread open. I wanna be able to access that sweet, wet hole of yours.”
“Oh really?” she questioned as she winked at him then turned toward the back door.
“Yeah, so be ready.”
“Oh, I will be. I was born ready. Oh, by the way, I have a little surprise down there, but here you will need this.” Samantha handed him a remote control fit perfectly hidden in his hand. “The numbers are speed, and the other button is to control the pulses. This, my dear, is a wireless remote vibrator that sits directly on my clit and just inside my hole. If you want finger play first, just move it over to the side. The difference between you and me, Mr. Fitzgerald, is I can come multiple times without the need to recover. So I challenge you to make me come in front of your buddies without me making a sound. If I can do it, then when we get back to the hotel you have to let me watch you masturbate outside on the balcony. If I make noise, you win and get to watch me masturbate on the balcony.”
“Oh, you are an evil woman. I love it. It’s a deal, little lady. I am so gonna win.”
“Possibly, but we’ll see,” she said as she gave him one last kiss then pulled open the door. “See ya in a few, Mr. Fitzgerald.” Sam laughed as she walked in. “I am so gonna win.”

Once inside, Samantha found their table and settled in. Raleigh’s buddies had scattered throughout the bar. She noticed a few playing pool, and Macalister and Bryant each had found their prey and were doing a rooster mating dance. As she sat scanning the room looking for Raleigh, she noticed the back door open. He stood standing against the wall, grinning. What is he up to? Then she felt the buzz between her legs, and she wiggled a bit. Raleigh stood watching her as she watched him; it felt like they were the only ones in the room. He stood leaning against the wall, holding one hand up and grinning from ear to ear. He held the remote in his hand and shook it to show her he was in charge, then he buzzed her again. Oh, he’s cheating, she thought as she tried to hide the pure pleasure he was giving her. Her face was hot, she could feel it, and she squirmed her hips trying to move the vibrator out of position with no luck.

Raleigh
Raleigh crossed his arms as he got comfortable in the back of the bar, watching Samantha as she squirmed to get free of his grasp. He had her right where he wanted her, and it made him extremely horny watching her. She finally resigned herself to the fact that he was in charge and he was going to control her his way. Samantha leaned back in the booth, opened her legs, and closed her eyes. The pulses came and went. He was enjoying himself as he would bring her close to orgasm then he would switch it off then back on. He was driving Samantha completely insane with pleasure. He knew she wanted to come so badly that she was tempted to just pull her dress up and masturbate right there.

Samantha
As she sat enjoying the moment, she heard a woman’s voice and felt a bump on the table. Her eyes shot open, and it was a woman—tall, blonde, and from what she could tell, very much pregnant. Sam didn’t recognize her, but the woman sat across the table screaming at her. At first, she couldn’t hear the woman’s words due to the volume of the music in the bar, but it was becoming abundantly clear she was not happy with Samantha at all.
“Who are you?” Samantha asked the young woman.
“What? He didn’t tell you about me? The mother of his child! Typical!” she screamed.
“Who are you talking about?” Samantha prodded.
“I am talking about your fuck buddy.”
“Who are you?” Sam asked, completely taken off guard as she scanned the room for Raleigh, who was already on his way over to the table.
“You don’t need to know who I am, just know this. I am watching you, and he is mine. He is the father of my baby, and I will get him back by any means necessary. Got it, bitch?” The mysterious blonde woman got up and ran out the front door.
Sam sat for a moment completely confused at what just happened, hoping Raleigh could shed some light on the whole situation.
Samantha watched Raleigh make his way through the crowd to their table. “Are you okay, Sam?” he asked as he slid into the seat next to her. “She didn’t hurt you, did she?” he asked. Raleigh looked her over as he continued asking if she was okay.
“I’m fine. She didn’t touch me,” Sam finally answered.
“Who the fuck was that?” Samantha asked just as the other men from Raleigh’s unit made their way to the table to check on her. Before Raleigh could answer, Macalister answered for him. “Why the fuck was Kristen here? Fucking crazy ass bitch!”
“Kristen? Who’s Kristen?” Samantha asked.
Raleigh paused for a moment, looked at his guys, and asked, “Can we have a minute?” The men all answered in a collective “Yeah,” then slowly walked away, eventually finding their way back to their women or the game they had been playing.
“Okay, first promise me you are okay,” Raleigh repeated as he turned toward Samantha and settled in.
“I’m fine, Raleigh. I promise. But you are really worrying me now.” A knot started to form in her throat, and she felt her eyes burning, almost welling up with tears.
“No tears, baby, no need for them, I promise,” he assured her, wiping the tears from her cheeks. “That woman is my ex-girlfriend, Kristen. We haven’t been together in months. I broke it off when I found out she was sleeping with every soldier in the rear detachment company.”
“But she said you were…” Sam choked back her tears and the fear in her voice. “…the father of her child.”
“Samantha, baby, I swear on my life I am not the father of her child.”
“How do you know, Raleigh?”
“Baby, I know because I haven’t been with her that
way in over a year. Before I deployed was the last time. When rumors came over to Afghanistan that she was sleeping with everything that moved, it hurt me, but I didn’t have any proof. It wasn’t until I came home and found her with two guys in the middle of…well, you know…It was then that I kicked her out of the apartment we shared, and I haven’t heard from her since. I just assumed she went back home to Washington state. It wasn’t until earlier tonight that I found out she was even in Fayetteville. I was planning on telling you about this whole thing later when we had a chance to be alone, definitely not here in the middle of an old hole-in-the-wall bar. Can we go back to the hotel and finish this conversation, Sammie?”
Samantha sat for a moment and let it all sink in, her mind wandered, and she wondered if he still had feelings for his ex-girlfriend that he just buried deep. Maybe she was just a distraction for him, a sort of a rebound romp and nothing more. Just because he said he loves me doesn’t mean he’s in love with me. She finally answered him, “Yeah, let’s go back to the hotel. I at least want to be prepared if she shows up again.”
“This is not exactly what I had in mind for the evening.” Raleigh slid out of the seat and reached his hand toward Samantha to help her out, then placed his hand in the curve of her back and lead her out of the bar, stopping as they passed each of the men saying their goodbyes.
Samantha followed Raleigh as they walked out the door of the small hilltop bar. She knew exactly what he meant when he said this was not exactly what he had in mind for the evening; it sure wasn’t her idea of a good time either. She, of course, had often thought about Raleigh’s past, but they were still fairly new in each other lives. She didn’t expect to find out everything in just a few months’ time, but it did feel like they had known each other a lot longer. In true Raleigh fashion, he made sure he was at the passenger door awaiting her arrival, door in his hand and the other held out waiting to help her into the passenger seat.
