With only minutes to spare, he slammed the shifter into park and jumped out of the truck before the engine had even shut off. His stomach twisted in knots as he gunned it for the entrance. Checking his watch, he realized her plane would be landing any minute. Sweat trickled down his tight muscled back from the heat of another desert day as he hurried toward her arrival gate. Clutching the flowers in his hand, he checked the board looking for her flight information. The blinking notification of her arrival sparked a new wave of anxiety rushing like lava through his veins.
He paced the length of the waiting area, his heart thrumming in his ears, and his eyes locked on the doorway she would exit from. Minutes felt like forever as he waited for her to appear. As he turned to start another lap, she was there, glorious and glowing like an angel. His angel.
A feeling of relief washed over him the second she appeared. The blue sundress―his favorite―allowed her dark hair to sway down her exposed back. He felt the heat in his cheeks ignite the closer she walked to him. He couldn’t help admiring the delicious sway of her hips as she sauntered closer to him. She had all the grace of a siren coaxing him with a cunning crook of her slender finger. His breath caught the moment he saw her eyes glistening as she smiled wide.
“Hey.” she called to him, her smile glowing. The heat in her stare sent shivers coursing through him, he longed to caress her soft skin and indulge in a taste of her natural sweetness. All in due time He told himself, trying to tamp down the urge to pull her into his arms and ravage her from the halo of her dark hair to the tips of her tiny toes.
“Hi, sweetheart.” Aidan smiled and handed her the mixed colored roses. “I missed you.”
His heart nearly exploded when she blushed. Pulling her close, he nestled into her neck, inhaling her sweet, sugary scent. “Mmm,” he growled into the soft curve of her throat, before pecking a kiss just to taste her on his lips.
“I missed you, too.” Her lips slipped up to his, as she sliced her way into his wanting mouth with a kiss that surprised him with its urgency. He couldn’t deny the fact he wanted this. The rigid length of his throbbing cock sang the same tune, as he pressed her body against his. There was no hiding his true desire. Every curve of her sinuous body felt so incredible against him. He hoped and prayed the fire searing through his veins didn’t burn him alive before he had the chance to sink deep between her supple thighs and taste every drop of her.
“You ready to get out of here?” he asked.
“Yes. How far is it to your base?” Cocking a brow, Raeve intertwined her fingers with his, as he reached for her bag.
“About an hour away. Might hit some traffic though. Are you hungry?”
“Not really. So were you waiting here long?”
He slipped her an impish grin, as he shook his head.
“Not really.”
Raeve went to open the door, but Aidan reached it first, gripping the hot metal before she burned her delicate flesh. “Ladies first.” he supplied pulling the door free from the metal jamb. Her sweet smile mimicked the sincerity of her kiss.
“Thank you,” she murmured before climbing into the cab of the truck. “Wait…one more thing…”
Staring at her, Aidan waited anxiously for her request. When she didn’t say anything, just smiled at him nervously, he wondered if she was considering her trip down as a complete mistake.
“Yes?” the word had barely left his lips when she crashed her mouth down on his. Relief washed over him as his blood seared every cell in his body. How could he resist her, when his body demanded so much more? Wrapping his arms around her, pulling her body to his again, Aidan relished the sensation of her fingers as they raked through his cropped hair and the crush of her breasts against his chest. The small mews that slipped from her lips caused all the blood in his body to settle in the one place that begged to be hidden deep within her core. Slipping her a sideways glance, he wondered if any security cameras were within range of catching them if he did what he wanted to do to her right then and there. He’d stopped breathing the moment her lips touched his, and his chest thundered against hers as he fumbled to collect his thoughts. “What do you say we get to the hotel?”
Her lips barely left his as she silently agreed―with another kiss. He found it hard to pull back from her, carefully shutting her in. The heat of her stare rippled through him, tracking his every movement as he walked round the truck. Feeling lighter than air, every cell in his body vibrated, singing to life from just having her near. Come hell or high water, he would get them back to the hotel and lay her down as fast as humanly possible.
Slipping into the cab, his eyes danced over her. The resplendent blush on her cheeks flared to a deeper shade of pink as he winked to her. Cupping her hand, he gently tugged her fingers to his lips, brushing the suppleness of her skin across the spot she left her feverish kiss. “Ready?” Considering her with a sultry smile, he didn’t need to hear her lithe voice to know the answer.
The drive stretched on for miles as the Texas heat flushed her skin, leaving a sheen of dew glistening over her skin. The wind caught her hair in a picturesque moment as he caught her eyes in the side mirror, dancing over the landscape. “Not much to look at. Killeen is more desert-like than this,” he offered.
“It’s just so different. Guess I’m just partial to all the green of the east coast.”
“Me too. Though I’m guessing Kuwait will be worse.” Her audible gasp didn’t surprise him, it was the same thing his mother had done when he told her. Yet seeing Raeve’s reaction, the way her fingers feathered over her glossy lips and the shock that settled in her eyes, made him wish he had picked a better time to tell her. “What’s wrong?”
“I―I…when will you be deployed?” She fought to say the words, and he wasn’t so sure why it was upsetting her so much.
“Three weeks from tomorrow.” Cocking a dark brow, he couldn’t help but notice her brows knitted together into a deep V. Worry settled in her eyes, setting him on edge. Aidan prayed he hadn’t ruined his time with her with this information, but he realized he probably had. “Don’t worry sweetheart. I’ll be back before you know it.” He knew his words wouldn’t ease her. It was a promise he couldn’t actually make, and Raeve knew it all too well.
The silence that lingered the rest of the drive grated his nerves. Glancing every few minutes in the passenger mirror, he caught a glimpse of her eyes, rimmed with sadness he knew would remain until the next time he could be with her―after his tour ended. His fingers itched to touch her soft skin, as the wind carried dark tendrils of her hair in the breeze. His heart ached to pull her close and kiss all her worries away, but nothing would ease this. Turning his mind away, he realized that the driveway of the hotel was coming up; a renewed anxiety exploded through his body.
“We’re almost there.” He spoke softly while cupping her hand. Gently, he brushed her fingers over his lips, pecking small kisses over each one. The flush in her cheeks deepened as they pulled into the parking lot. It wasn’t much, but it was Killeen, Texas’ best, and his base was only fifteen minutes away. His heart pounded as he put the truck into park. “Wait right here. I’ll be right back,” he gently commanded.
“Sure, okay,” Raeve smiled.
Reaching in, Aidan pulled her bag free and walked around the corner. His hands grew slick once again, and his heart thundered in his chest. She was here, with him and only him, if only for a couple of days. Excitement soared through his veins as he entered the suite. Setting her bag down, he quickly lit every candle and pulled free a bottle of wine and two glasses
The day was hot, and he knew the night would be even hotter, if the heat burning in Raeve’s kiss was anything to judge by. Making quick footwork back to the truck, Aidan slipped around to her door, pulled it free, and offered her his hand.
“Thank you,” she smiled.
His hands couldn’t touch enough of her, as he slid his arm around the small of her back. Her perfume wafted through the air as the wind caressed them. Slipping
the room key from his pocket, a wave of electricity shot through him as he slowly opened the door. His eyes stayed locked on her delicate features as shock overwhelmed her. Her hands clasped over her mouth as she stepped into the candlelit room. “Oh my gosh! You did all this…for me?”
Staring back at her, Aidan’s pulse quickened as his stomach clenched in a tight knot. Letting her walk in first, he found it amusing as she trod in careful steps around the soft rose petals.
“Is it okay?”
Her glowing smile answered his question even before she could speak. Her eyes sparkled in the candlelight as a crystal tear trickled down her cheek. “Yes, it’s perfect, but I don’t deserve all this.”
Pulling her into his arms, he placed a small kiss on her forehead. “Yes, sweetheart, you do,” he murmured, before crushing his lips down onto hers.
He relished the feel of her arms slipping around his neck as she clung to him. Her body willingly crushed into his, as her tight beaded nipples grazed against his stony chest. At that moment he felt the blood drain from his limbs and settle in the long hard stalk that pressed against her stomach.
Cupping her chin, his lips lavished kisses across her jaw and trailed down her neck. With each kiss came another mew as she arched into him, shuddering from his touch. “God, woman, I’ve missed you so damn much.” he growled, as her fingers sank into his shoulders, keeping him close. His greedy hands slid over her pert breasts, knocking the thin straps away from her shoulders. The thin cloth barely covered her lithe body and he imagined what it would feel like to remove the satiny fabric from her body. Dipping her back, Aidan sank into the hot cave of her mouth, his warm palm played tenderly with the small diamond tip of her supple mound which yearned for his attention. His eyes shot to her sumptuous mounds realizing that nothing more than that scrap of her dress covered them. He was thankful she hadn’t bothered to cover her breasts with a dainty bra. Unleashing a guttural growl, he needed to consume her, every damn inch of her supple skin and drop of liquid heat she offered. Gripping her hair, exposing the delicate sinews of her throat, his bite sought out that sweet spot like a heat-seeking missile. The scent of her arousal saturated the air as his greedy bite sank into her flesh. Letting out a small hiss, Raeve grab the back of his back skull, silently pleading for more.
Clutching her tight, Aidan took great delight in tormenting her body. Her mews grew in her throat, while she crushed her fingers into his skin. He prayed blood would be drawn. Peeling her dress from her dewy skin, the feel of her exposed breast and stomach against him ratcheted up his need to drive deep into her.
“I need you.” she whimpered.
That was all it took. Whipping her off her feet, Aidan pulled her into his arms and stalked toward the bed.
Her eyes bled longing and desire as he set her down. Making quick work of his shirt, her gasp and appraising smile at his hardened body filled him with pride. Her eyes followed every sinuous roll of his muscle as he slowly unzipped his jeans, slipped them down his hips to his thickly muscled thighs, and sprung free the hard stalk of cock that demanded her attention.
The aching in his sac throbbed as he took her in.
“Breathtaking” he murmured to himself as he lowered down onto the bed. Nerves racked him raw as he slid his hands up the length of her legs.
Cupping her calves and spreading her thighs wide, he found all that stopped him from delving deep into the creamy nestle of her essence was a thin barrier of lace. Flashing a nervous grin, his fingers hooked under the soft black lace. Slowly the gift beneath was revealed; glistening with a wet welcome, her body was waiting for him.
His breath caught at the first sight of her naked flesh. Drinking in the moment, he couldn’t have imagined her to be so exquisite in her sheer nakedness. The sight of her nearly made him come undone.
Dancing up and down her body with his greedy stare, he couldn’t decide what he wanted to explore first. She was just so damn perfect―perfect for him and him alone. Every inch of her skin tempted him, begging to be tasted and touched everywhere. Slowly his fingers grazed along the line of her legs, following each curve until he reached the dip between her thighs. His thumb grazed over the slick folds as liquid heat, moistened into crystal tears, weeping just for him. Each soft pass brought her another shudder from her.
Her small moans of approval with each pass over her sensitive nub ratcheted him up higher. With demanding need he sliced into her tight, wet slit dipping one finger in, he tested his welcome. Her body flushed with a resplendent blush as she writhed from his touch. The heat of her body, the sweet wetness that surrounded his fingers as his eased in an out of her electrified him to new heights. Her moans grew as he strummed her playfully, flicked the swollen bud with his tongue, and torqued her body as she climbed higher to peak.
Her hands raked through his short hair, holding him in place as she arched into his penetrating kiss, thrusting her hips into his hot ravenous mouth. His body vibrated with the rising of her peak, she was close, so close he felt her essence clenching tight around his fingers and tongue. The closer she came to climax, the closer he came to shooting off his own load. Her body was tight, tighter than anything he’d known, and he could only imagine the silky feel of her body when he sank in deep. The raw heat that rolled off her body as she clutched him in a vaginal vice-grip nearly had him coming.
***
Raeve’s ravenous clawing drew him up to her quivering lips. His body covered hers like a perfect flesh blanket meant only for her. His skin felt hot against her cool flesh as she pulled him down on her, settling his weight between the creamy valley of her thighs. As she wrapped her legs around his back, he ripped away his boxers with little care, springing free his throbbing length.
Her eyes were full of the same fiery fuel that he fell in love with, only this time the fire in them burned for him to fill her with every inch of his manhood. Her essence blossomed for him as the head of his cock probed her waiting entrance. Wanting to drive deep inside her with one precise motion wasn’t happening. The tight grip of her core required a little more coaxing leaving him to tease her more. Like a glove two sizes too tight, he had to work her body around him, slowly rocking into her with each thrust. Didn’t matter how much he had to work her, the harder he worked, the harder he grew. Anticipation of being deep inside her, feeling the walls of her core hug him in a death grip was worth the added effort.
Carefully slicing through the swollen folds, Aidan prayed for strength to last, knowing full well her body would milk him dry. It was the moment he had dreamt about for months…hell years. She was beneath him opening herself up to accept every inch of his throbbing cock.
“Raeve,” he whispered, staring deep into her eyes, “I―I…God. You’re so tight.” His sac pulsed and tightened with the final thrust that broke through her core. As he sank deep inside, her body writhed and rolled with his pace, arching into his body. Heaven, if it was smoldering hot and silky wet still wouldn’t compare, he thought. The seductive moans that came from her, set off his growls as he crushed his lips to hers, tasting every sound of her pleasure as she peaked.
Driving deep into her, he had her body writhing from the delicious pressure as she clawed his back raw. “That’s right, baby, come on, you can do better. Mark me,” he taunted, thrusting fast and hard. Every muscle tense with his impending peak, he fought back the desire until he brought her to a screaming climax. Her nails bit in to his flesh, shooting sinful waves of erotic stinging relief straight down to his cock. Capturing her mouth, his hot tongue dipped between her glossy lips with a savage need to taste her when she came. Gripping her hips tight, he plunged deeper, faster; thrusting into her body with an unrelenting need to consume her completely.
Swearing his heart would explode as sweat trickled down his back, he found the pace of a Nascar driver, as her body twisted and clutched him for dear life. She was so close, he could feel it. Her cries littered the air mixing with the scent of sex. Aidan drove harder the tighter her essence gripped him, until
the song he had waited so long to hear broke from her panting lips. His peak followed quickly, spraying his hot seed within her luscious cave, sending her over the edge.
The thrumming of his heart nearly burst from his chest as he collapsed on her. Her soft swollen lips brushed across his cheek as she ran her fingers through his hair and her chest rose and fell heavily. Realizing his weight settled on her, he slipped her a kiss and rolled onto his side. The relieved sigh she blew out confirmed his suspicion. “Sorry, sweetheart,” he murmured, pecking kisses on her swollen lips.
“For what?” Still panting she caressed his cheek with her knuckles.
“Forgot how small you are. Didn’t mean to crush you.”
Chuffing out a small laugh, Raeve seemed to consider him for a brief moment with a cocked brow and smirk before her warm smile grew. “Babe, you’re not that heavy. I, uh, just didn’t expect… He smirked, watching her bite her lip as her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of crimson. I mean that was…amazing.”
His chest welled with pure unadulterated pride as he watched her blush deepen to a dark crimson hue.
“Sweetheart, you aren’t…err…weren’t a virgin, were you?”
The biting laugh that broke free alarmed him, as tears welled up in her eyes. For what though? His question… or from what she was about to tell him.
“No, babe. Sorry. Lost my virginity a few years ago, why?”
Relief and jealously coursed through him, immediately he hated whoever the lucky bastard was who had received that precious gift. Wishing he had made his move when he first met her, maybe then he would’ve tasted her fine untouched wine instead. His eyes zeroed in on hers, as he pulled back those images of her, his Raeve in the arms of another man. Someone else caressing her pert breasts and sampling her essence. Stop dwelling on the past. Should’ve made you move two years ago instead of being a chicken shit. It was easy to hate his cowardness, but it didn’t really matter anymore. She was in bed with him.
