Field Stripped: 15 Steamy Military Romances

Jake watched as Blondie walked to the shower, he couldn’t help but appreciate the curvy beauty of her body. Five minutes passed way to slow for his liking, but when he heard the shower start, he got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.
As he went into the bathroom, Jake saw Blondie standing in the shower the water flowing down her back as she leaned against the wall. Knocking on the shower door, he smiled when she looked his way, desire filling her eyes.
“May I join you beautiful?”
“I would love it if you did… I need someone to wash my back.”
Jake entered the shower, standing behind Blondie he started washing her back, massaging her shoulders and neck.
“That feels good,” Blondie said as she turned around till she was facing him.
“If you think that feels good just wait to you feel this.” Jake moved Blondie backwards till she was sitting on the bench.
Spreading her legs, he leaned in and slowly licked her slit with his tongue. “Yum… Baby girl I could spend forever between your thighs.”
Using his fingers he spread her pussy, exposing her clit as he continued to lick and suck, making Blondie rock her hips trying to get him to go faster. Jake inserted a finger into her pussy curving it forward to hit her g-spot while his lips were latched on to her clit.
“Jake I am going to cum, please more I can’t handle it, Jake added another finger into her tight pussy, pumping them into her at a steady pace, he felt her vaginal walls grip his fingers hard as her juices ran down his fingers.
He held his fingers up for her to see before he inserted them into his mouth and sucked them clean. “I love the way you taste, what a great way to start the morning. Let’s finish up this shower before I have to leave.”
Grabbing Blondie’s hand Jake pulled her back into the spray, giving her a kiss he handed her the loofah and turned around so she could wash his back.
Blondie didn’t notice the scars that peppered Jake’s side, hip, and back before and she took extra care when she washed them.
“Do they hurt?”
“Do what hurt, my scars, honestly no… though I tend to get pains in my hip. You don’t think they are ugly?”
“Nope… I think they give you character,” Blondie said as she kissed Jake on his back.
Turning off the water Jake opened the shower door and grabbed a towel for Blondie, wrapping it around her before he grabbed one for himself. Jake stopped her before she left the shower, “Seriously… I meant what I said last night you are truly something special Mary. I don’t know where this is going but just know I would never do anything to hurt you.”
Blondie pulled the towel closer to her as she stepped from the shower, “I don’t know where this is going either Jake, and I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that I do think we are going a bit fast. There is something about you that makes me feel comfortable and safe.” Going into the bedroom Blondie started to get dressed, Jake followed her lead and grabbed his clothes from the night before and put them on.
“I have some things to take care of today, but I will call you later… I promise” Jake said as he gave Blondie one last searing kiss before he started walking to the front door.
Blondie held the door open for him, as he walked past she slapped him on his ass, a huge smile on her face when he turned around. “See ya later, Jake… talk to soon.”
“See ya Babydoll, you can be sure I will be calling you,” he said as the elevator doors opened and he got inside.
As Jake left Blondie’s building, he saw Big Al walking toward him.
“Morning, Jake… I see you spent the night,” Al said as he stopped in front of Jake.
Jake, not ashamed of anything he and Blondie shared together freely admitted to Al that he spent the night.
“Just make sure you treat my girl well son, or you and I are going to have some issues.”
“I really like Mary, there is something special about her and believe me, Al I am not about to let her go.”
“Good… that’s good to know… I like you Jake. I hope that Lil Mary can see that she got lucky when you walked into Teufel Hundens and applied for that job. I know who you are boy, and I know you don’t need the money from bartending. Being the major share owner of Peterson Resorts is not a small thing.”
“You are not going to say anything are you? I know I am deceiving her, but I plan on telling her very soon. I have a project that I want to get in place first before she finds out. “
“I won’t tell her Jake, but you might have problems with James… I hear you pissed him off again last night, word travels fast on Topsail and from what I heard Lil Mary hit on some hidden truths. Once he finds out the position you actually hold and the amount of wealth you have he might try and cause problems between you and Mary. There is something shady about him, and I think my Lil Mary might have been right on about the tax and fraud issue. Not that she actually accused him of it, but it does leave some people wondering.”
“Thanks for the heads up Al. I have to stop by my place and get changed then I have some business to take care of for my uncle, involving finding realtors for his new condo resort and hopefully finding a property that will work for my project. I promise I will fill you in on it later and will come clean with Mary as soon as I get things taken care of.”
“Good luck Jake, and I am serious watch out for James.”
Jake got in his jeep and waved at Al and drove to his house; he needed to change his clothes and grab the realtor list.
After changing into business casual clothing, Jake grabbed the list and drove to the first realtor company. It was smaller realtor company and the same one that Jake found his house through, they were very welcoming but after looking at their listings, he did not see a property that he would fit his purposes. He did what his uncle had told him and gave the company business card to the realtor that was helping him and invited her to the open house. The realtor was a bit shocked but informed Jake that if anything fitting his needs came on to the market, she would give him a call.
The next two were considered no goes, as they had bad customer service and lacked professional behavior which removed them from the running.
The last one on the list was the largest reality company on Topsail; Samson-Adams Reality also happened to be the same company that James currently worked for. Jake entered the building, noticing how clean and organized everything was. Walking to the front desk he approached the secretary.
“Good day, I was wondering if there were any realtors available to help me… I am looking to buy a decent sized property.”
The secretary looked up at Jake and smiled, “Yes sir, we currently have James Cocker and Ronnie Samson.
Not wanting to deal with James, Jake responded to the secretary, “I have heard some good things about Ronnie Samson, can I please see him.”
“Let me page him Sir, and he will be out in a few minutes.”
Ronnie Samson came from his office; introducing himself, He was friendly and well spoken. Jake in return introduced himself.
“Come, follow me to my office and I will see how I can help you, Mr. Peterson.”
Jake followed Ronnie into his office and sat down in a chair directly in front of Ronnie’s desk.
“So what type of property are you looking for, I will see if I can pull properties that fit your needs.”
Jake proceeded to tell Ronnie what he was looking for. While he was explaining the type of property he was looking for James walked past the office.
James seeing Jake in his boss’s office couldn’t help but stop in and rudely interrupted saying, “Why are you here, you can’t afford any of our houses, best leave now and not waste our time.”
Jake raised his eyebrows at James but didn’t respond; he didn’t have to as Ronnie responded for him.
“James we haven’t even gone over a price range yet and if you were as good a realtor as you claim to be you would realize that there is such a thing as a VA home loan. You are an embarrassment to th
is company and are on thin ice already, keep it up, and you will be fired.”
James stormed out of the office pissed off, his exit was followed by a loud bang as a door slammed further down the hall.
Ronnie looked at Jake and apologized, “I am so sorry Mr. Peterson for his behavior we do not condone judgment in our office. The poorest looking person could be worth millions, and nobody would ever know. Please let us continue our discussion on your needs.”
Jake thought to himself, If Peterson Resorts were going to work with this company, James would have to go. They didn’t need someone with James judging ways and beliefs trying to sell their condos.
Ronnie listened to what Jake wanted and needed for his resort. Ronnie smiled at Jake and said, “I think I have the perfect property, it is priced a little high, but I think the seller is flexible on the price. I am afraid it has come to the point where I have to ask about your finances.”
Jake smiled happily with how efficiently Ronnie dealt with James’ behavior and decided he was going to buy the property and give Ronnie an invite to the open house, on the condition that James has nothing to do with the condos that Peterson Resorts will be selling.
“Mr. Samson, I would officially to introduce myself, I am Jake Peterson of Peterson Resorts. My uncle and I would love to have you attend our open house for our new condo resort.”
“I also would love to put in a bid for this property on behalf of Peterson Resorts, I do have one condition, though, James Cocker will not be allowed to deal with our properties, he is shady. I have had run-ins with him over the past week and his behavior in public is horrible. Not to mention I think you should look into his use of the business account. That is my professional and personal opinion if you choose to look into these things it is up to you.”
“Mr. Peterson it is an honor to continue to work with your company, I will ensure that Mr. Cocker will not be dealing with any of Peterson Resort’s properties, and I will ask accounting do an audit of his account.”
Jake and Ronnie finished writing up the bid and shook hands, thanking him Jake told him to let him know when the bid was accepted and that he would hear from the company soon.
Walking out of Ronnie’s office the secretary stopped him.
“Mr. Peterson, did you find a property that you liked.”
“Yes Rebecca, I did, and a bid has been put in…if Mr. Samson needs me for anything, please have him call me. Jake handed her his business card. The only people who should call me are Mr. Samson or yourself.”
“Yes, Mr. Peterson I understand, I hope you have a wonderful day.”
Jake, walked from the building feeling accomplished. He couldn’t wait to call his Uncle and tell him he found the property for his Veterans retreat. Getting in his Jeep, he drove to his house.
Unbeknownst to Jake, James watched him from his office window, vowing that he would get even with Jake if it was the last thing he did.
Chapter Eleven
Blondie, heard a knock on her door, looking through the peephole she saw Al; she opened the door for him right away.
“Hey Lil Mary, how was your night, “AL asked with a huge grin.
Blondie blushed when she answered him, “It was wonderful Uncle Al, Jake is a great guy, we had such a wonderful time at dinner… Well before James decided to make a scene.”
“Yeah, I heard about that. I was more interested in the fact that he stayed the night. I saw him when he was leaving and gave him a fatherly warning. I checked into him. He is a squared away Marine.”
“You didn’t have to do that, Jake and I are on the same page, we are seeing where this is going.”
“That sounds like a good idea, just remember that James is very bitter person right now, you called him out in public, even though he deserves it. Angry people tend to be dangerous Mary, and I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“James can suck an egg; I am not worried about any threats he has coming my way. I can take care of myself. You and dad taught me well, and I will have protection with me when I am alone. I didn’t get a concealed carry for nothing.”
“Smart girl. I love you and just remember Jake has my stamp of approval, I have things to do, but I will see ya in the morning for breakfast.”
Al left leaving Blondie to wonder what was actually going on. James is pissed… Ok, she did kind of did call him out in public. Uncle Al got Jake checked out… Why would Al do that?... What does he know? Jake…He made her feel safe but what is he hiding from her?
Blondie shook her head; she will trust Jake and watch her back against James. She had a perfect date last night; nothing was going to spoil her current happiness.
Jake just got off the phone with his uncle and informed him of the property and the price, he was glad that his uncle was on board. Jake had stopped by the property and taken a look at the house before he called his Uncle.
There was a lot of work that had to be completed on the house. The house needed to be handicap accessible and some of the hallways needed to be expanded, not to mention upgrades throughout the whole house. The grounds needed some landscaping work and the dock to the canal has to be repaired. Jake wanted to provide a comfortable and relaxing retreat for disabled veterans.
The next step was to get a contractor and architect to ensure that things are exactly how Jake envisioned for Warriors Hope Resort. Jake knew that it would take about six months at the earliest to get it up and running, but it was a challenge he was willing to take on.
Sitting back in his desk chair, Jake was feeling pretty damn good when his phone rang, looking down he saw it was Ham and answered it.
“Hey brother, how’s it going?”
“I think I should be asking you that, have a good date with Ms. Blondie?”
“It was pretty damn awesome, thanks for asking and before you start, no I am not sharing the details.”
“Damn… I wanted to hear how bad you sucked in bed so that I could have a chance with her.”
“Shut up, Ham… you just have to find your own girl.”
“Anyway, I was calling to let you know I talked with command and to my doctor at the hospital. My doctor won’t clear me till therapy is finished; I will be getting an honorable medical discharge. I will be EASing within the next few months.”
“That is great news… You still willing to help me with the resort? It has a name now Warriors Hope, and I put a bid on the property. If all goes well, it should be owned by the company by the end of the week.”
“You know it, brother… I have to pull my weight somehow. I am excited to be a part of Warrior’s Hope. Well, I was just checking in… Talk to you soon.”
“Later, Ham.”
Jake hung up the phone; leaning back in his chair he exhaled. Things were going pretty damn good, and hopefully they will continue to run smoothly.
“Well, I think I could go for a swim,” Jake stated as he pushed himself back from his desk.
Going to his room, he changed in to swim trunks and took the elevator down to the pool. Swimming calmed Jake; it helped him get his thoughts together. Jake’s arms cut through the water, as he neared the pool edge, he dived down flipping under the water he turned, his legs pushing off the wall, he continued doing laps. He lost count of how many laps he did. As he exited the pool and grabbed a towel, there was one thing that still bothered him… James, he was still the unknown. Al had warned him that James might try something… Time would tell.
Blondie was in the process of making dinner, when Jake called, just like he promised.
“Hello Babydoll how was your day?”
“It was pretty good, the best morning I have had in a while.”
“I am glad that I had a hand in making it memorable, so what you doing?”
“Cooking dinner and talking with you.”
“Making anything good?”
“Not really… Just making some dirty rice. Nothing fancy, I leave that to Al.”
Jake laughed at that, “Well good thing I know how to cook… might have t
o make you dinner one of these nights.”
“Might have to take you up on that handsome, you seriously don’t want to eat my cooking… in all honesty, I just pretty much heat up ready to eat meals.”
“Mary… I will definitely be cooking you dinner. I just wanted to give you a call and let you know I was thinking of you. I will let you go so you can eat; I will see you tomorrow. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call.”
“Until the tomorrow then…Night Jake”
“Night Babydoll, sweet dreams.”
Blondie hung up the phone; she laughed to herself. When has anyone besides Al offered to cook for her? Jake was truly one of a kind.
After eating her dinner, Blondie went to her bathroom and started to fill the tub, pouring in some lilac bubbles. “Wine, that is what I need,” she said to herself, walking back into the kitchen she poured herself a glass of red wine. Wine in hand she went back to the bathroom and got into her bath. Blondie stayed in the tub till the water turned cold and her wine was gone, getting out she put on some pajamas and went to bed.
The sound of a phone ringing woke Blondie from her dream, grabbing for the phone she answered it.
“Hello?”
“Ms. Roberts, this is Cityland Security, the silent alarm on your business has gone off, Police have been dispatched to investigate. Our records show you live next door. I suggest you wait till the police get there before you head over.”
“Thank you for letting me know, I will be there shortly.”
Blondie got out of bed, throwing on her house robe and stepping into her slippers she ran down the stairs to Al’s apartment. She banged on the door… “Uncle Al, open up I need you.”
Al opened the door, “Lil Mary what’s going on it is two in the morning… Is everything ok.”
“The security company just called, the silent alarm at Teufel Hundens went off, police are on their way. I need you to come over with me to check it out.”
“Ok, honey settle down…I will go with you… no need to get so upset, something might have just tripped it.”
Al and Blondie went next door to Teufel Hundens; the police were already present when they go there. As they walked across the parking lot, Blondie could see that the front window was smashed.
