Letters to Her Soldier

by Hazel Gower

  Bianca’s tactic seemed to work as she walked out of the room, her hands full of hot food. His mother rushed to help which left him alone with the doctor. They eyed each other. “She’s never mentioned you. ”

  Mathew shrugged. “Bianca never said anything about you either. ”

  Caleb clenched his fist. “She’s going to marry me. ”

  Mathew raised his eyebrow at him. “She didn’t have a ring on her finger, and didn’t your mother say you only returned a week ago?” He walked past him, grabbed a salad bowl, and, without waiting for his answer, left the room.

  Caleb gritted his teeth, picked up some bowls filled with food, and stormed out to his party. His sister breezed by him, and he shot her a glare as she went to the kitchen.

  As he reached outside, he noticed some extra friends had arrived and his mother’s Delta friends and their daughters. Great, just great. More drama to add to this already brilliant birthday party.

  He searched the tables for Bianca to see her sitting at the main one with the doctor on one side and his father on the other.

  His sister came up beside him and whispered, “Mum meant well. She didn’t know how you felt about Bianca. She wouldn’t have invited Mathew if she knew. ”

  “Why didn’t Dad say anything?”

  “Ha, our Dad learnt long ago not to interfere when Mum’s plotting. ”

  “You didn’t tell me he’s younger than me and looks like that. ”

  Greta bumped him with her hip. “Oh, must have slipped my mind. Don’t sweat it, bro. She’s loved you forever. ”

  As Greta said this, Bianca sent a beaming smile to the doc and laughed.

  His brother came up beside him and whacked him on the back. “Sorry I’m late, got stuck with paperwork on a DMV. Looks like I got here at just the right time. The food looks great. Hey, isn’t that your woman laughing over there with that man?”

  “Shut the fuck up, Gavin. ”

  “Ah, I see. You’re still too scared to claim her. Well, it looks like someone else isn’t. ”

  Letting his anger free, Caleb punched his brother, and because he knew his brother so well, he dodged the hit that came back at him.

  “What the hell was that for?”

  “I told you to shut up. ”

  Caleb looked around to see everyone staring at him. His mother was rushing toward him with a worried look in her eyes, but he couldn’t keep his eyes off Bianca. She said something to Mathew, stood up, and almost jogged to him.

  His mother turned to everyone. “Sorry, folks, just some silly sibling rivalry. ” She snatched the dish from him, placed it on the table, and walked inside.

  Sighing, he followed his mother to the back family room. His mother glared at Greta, Gavin, and him.

  “I want to know what on earth is happening. And I want to know now. ”

  “Nothing, Mum. Everything’s all good. I said something I shouldn’t to the birthday boy. It’s all sorted now. ” Gavin went to walk away, but his mother shook her head.

  “It doesn’t look sorted. I want to know now what’s going on, or I’ll volunteer you for a romantic weekend getaway instead of a date night in my charity ball. ”

  Caleb growled as his brother couldn’t blab fast enough. “Caleb’s sulking because he missed his chance with Bianca because he’s scared she’ll reject him. Now Bianca has some guy all over her, so he took his anger out on me. ”

  Bianca came in and stood with her arms crossed over her chest, staring at him. She looked so hot. Her hazel eyes shone with anger, and her arms pushed her breasts up like an offering.

  “Well, that explains what happened in the kitchen, ” his mother said.

  Caleb needed to hold Bianca. Walking past his mother as she talked, he pulled Bianca into the room and into his arms.

  “When did this happen? Why haven’t you said anything to me?” his mother asked.

  “Oh, he’s been in love with her for years, Mum. Only just noticed it himself a couple of years ago, though. ”

  His mother gave a shut-up look to Gavin. “You can go now, Gavin. I think I’ve heard enough from you. ”

  His traitor of a brother strolled out of the room. Greta went to join him, but his mother grabbed her hand. “Not so fast, missy. How long have you known?”

  “Not long. Dad knew way before me. ” And with that, his sister shocked his mother and got away.

  “How?” his mother asked.

  “Letters. Bianca sent me letters every week, sometimes twice a week. She kept me sane. ”

  Tears rolled down his mother’s cheeks as she said, “You wrote to my boy every week. ”

  Bianca fidgeted in his arms and croaked out, “Yes. ”

  “What did you say in the letters?”

  He felt Bianca’s shoulder lift. “Nothing really. I told him about the silly dramas at school, the antics Gavin got up to, or about me and Greta. Sometimes I just sent him new recipes I made, and if I could, I’d send him samples. ”

  “Why didn’t you tell me you did this? I thought I was like a mother to you. ”

  “I don’t know. It never came up. It started the last year of school right after I turned eighteen. ”

  “Are you two together? When did you start?”

  He could see his mum was upset. The room seemed filled with emotion. “Mum, we would have told you. It’s new. I saw her at the airport and made my move. ”

  His mother nodded. “How does your father know?”

  Now it was his turn to be uncomfortable. Bianca touched his arm and stepped forward to give his mum a hug.

  “Give us a little time. I promise if things work out, then you will be the first to know. ”

  He sighed in relief and hugged the women he loved.

  The rest of the afternoon had been uneventful. Mathew left straight after they ate. Bianca pulled him aside and told him that she was with Caleb now, that he’d asked her to marry him and she was going to say yes. He had given her a sad smile, thanked her, and congratulated her on her engagement.

  She and Caleb arrived home late. As they went up to their room, she remembered his birthday present. After the night’s events, she was one hundred percent sure she wanted to give it to him. As he got naked for bed, she sat and watched him.

  “You’re so yummy. ” She stood up, hid the present behind her back, and trailed her fingers down his perfect rock-hard, six-pack stomach. “I have a present for you. Sit down, and I’ll give it to you.”

  Caleb grinned down at her and sat on the edge of the bed. She straddled his lap and kissed his chest. “Happy birthday. ”Bianca placed the small box in his hands.

  His brow furrowed and he muttered, “You didn’t have to get me anything. I’m happy with what you gave me earlier. ”

  She laughed and hugged him close. “I wanted to. Open it. ”

  She moved back so she could watch his face. He undid the box and paused as he opened it. Slowly he lifted the gold dog tag and read it.

  “To the love of my life, the man I will always love until my dying day, happy birthday from your wife Bianca. ”Caleb paused for a moment and cleared his throat.

  “You wrote ‘wife, ’” Caleb whispered.

  She bit her lip, unsure of herself now. “Ah, I can get you something else if you don’t like the tag. I know you said a couple of weeks, but this week has been perfect. And…well, I just—”

  He cut her off as his mouth captured hers. His dick rubbed against her pussy.

  He pulled away panting. “You’ll marry me?”

  She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. “Yes. I fall more in love with you everyday. Today only confirmed everything I feel for you. I could never love anyone but you. ”

  He moved away from the bed, only to come back a second later to place a ring on her finger. “There. Now it feels real. ”He kissed her neck and nibbled on her ear, sending delicious tingles down her body. “Can you ease my pain? You promised me more play. ”

  Bianca moan
ed, “Yes. ” As Caleb’s hands caressed hers breasts, he moved her to her back and hovered over her, capturing her mouth. His hands glided down her body. He slid a finger into her and pumped it in and out. Her body started to burn with need and hot fever built. They broke apart, panting for breath.

  “You’re so wet. I could just slide right in. ”

  She felt his cock hover at her entrance. She rubbed herself against it, desperate for the pleasure she knew it could give.

  He rested his head against hers, eased slightly in, swore, and slammed home. She screamed as he pushed all the way into her, adding to the already building sensations running through her.

  “Mmm, you’re so tight. ” He pulled her up so they were chest to chest. “I could bury myself in you forever. You feel so good. ”

  Caleb’s mouth took hers again. She trailed her hands up his back and gripped him tightly to her. He pistoned into her as his mouth devoured hers. Bianca met him thrust for thrust. She was so close to her heaven.

  He pulled out and flipped her so she was on all fours. He spread her legs and covered her body. His cock sat at her entrance as he whispered, “Hold on. ” With that, he struck with a force that drove her forward.

  He tweaked and played with her tight nipples. Caleb fucked hard, in a crazed frenzy. He whispered loving words to her, letting every emotion out. “I love you so much. You’re my angel sent from heaven. You saved me when I was down and have never stopped caring or loving me. I love you more than anything in the world. ”

  It got too much to take. She arched into his touch as his fingers played with her clit. Grabbing the sheets, she screamed her release. Caleb yelled shortly after. They collapsed onto bed.

  ****

  Caleb had never been bareback with a woman in his life, and today he’d done it twice with Bianca. He always wore a condom. He hugged her tight, his cock still inside her. It had felt so good, every sensation heightened. He didn’t want to go back to using condoms. He wanted sex this way with Bianca all the time.

  He wanted a baby with Bianca. A little girl with hazel eyes and sweet smile just like her mummy. He’d never wanted that more than he did now. Now that he knew he could have that, he wanted it bad.

  “I love you. ”

  He watched as her breath caught and she searched his face. “Say it again. ”

  “I. ” He kissed her. “Love. ” He pulled out of her before thrusting home. “You. ”

  She closed her eyes and wrapped her legs around him. “I love you too with all my heart. ” She pulled his mouth back to hers, and they made love this time slowly and tenderly.

  When they settled this time, he held her tightly and kissed her head. “Today we haven’t used a condom. I’m clean. I get tested with the Army. ”

  She turned so she could look up at him. “I’m on the pill. You’re the only man I’ve ever been with without protection. ”

  He pulled her up to brush his lips against hers. “I’m glad you’re on the pill. I want children with you, a little girl with your eyes, but first I’d like to be married and for us to have some time just the two of us. I don’t want to go back to condoms. You feel too good without one. ”

  Bianca beamed up at him. “You want to have children with me?”

  “Of course I do. I want everything with you. I love you. You would be a great mum. ”

  Bianca sighed and cuddled into him. They lay there for a moment or two before he asked, “What are we going to do about the Delta Ball?

  “Oh, don’t worry. Greta owes me a favor. She’ll take my place. ”

  He grinned. “I can get two guys to replace me. That will make Mum extra happy. ” They both laughed and Caleb felt content. He was thankful that he’d received letters from his one and only. His Bianca.

  “Thank you, ”he said.

  “Why are you thanking me?”

  “I just realized that I never said thank you for sending me letters and keeping me alive because that’s what they did. ” He kissed her lips, lingering to whisper, “Thank you for your letters to a lonely soldier. ”
