As I washed Josh’s hair and body as best I could since he was taller than me, he stood there with his eyes closed most of the time. Swaying under the running water as I washed him up, Josh occasionally moaned, letting me know that the shower felt so good to him.
Once we got out of the shower, I dried him off carefully and put on his clothing. I got myself dressed next.
“Shall we go down to breakfast?” I asked, extending my hand in his direction. He nodded and took my hand.
I looked up at him and smiled, thinking about how great of a team we were together. As long as we were together, I knew that we could tackle any obstacle.
Chapter Eight - Joshua
Down at the dinner, I ate like I had been starving for days. The food was so filling and tasted great. Nadia only nibbled at her plate of pancakes here and there, mostly looking around the room like she had a lot on her mind. Wiping my mouth, I reached for her hand and squeezed it quickly. She responded like she was startled out of her contemplation.
“A penny for your thoughts?” I asked, peering into her face and then slurping down another bite of egg and toast.
She sighed heavily and lowered her head. My heart started beating fast. Nadia was making me nervous.
Suddenly, her brown eyes glared into mine. “We’re going to get out of deployment,” she said, matter-of-factly. “But we have to be ready to do it together.”
I was startled, but I had already been thinking about Yemen and wishing that we didn’t have to go, so I readily agreed with her. However, I was curious to see what was making her feel that way.
“Did something happen last night to make you have this change of plans?” I asked, holding my breath in anticipation of her answer.
I didn’t think that I had blacked out or anything. Yet, hearing Nadia have such a change of heart was making me wonder if it wasn’t something that I had done or said that made her change her mind about wanting to be deployed. She had seemed so excited at first about the idea of being in Yemen. Sitting there at breakfast, though, she was a totally different woman and was trying to figure out a way to get out of it.
“No, nothing happened,” she said, her voice lowered to a whisper. “This is just something that should have happened a long time ago.”
I didn’t really know what she meant, but my mind went to the sex we had the night before. Things were changing between us quickly. Usually, our pattern was simple one-night stands and then nothing. But since we had gotten onto this road trip, the sex had been almost constant — well, the sex and the fighting.
“Why don’t we head back to the room for a bit?” Nadia said, in a low, guttural voice.
I could see the passion in her eyes and knew exactly what she had in mind. Obviously, she was hungry for something else. After paying the bill, we walked hand-in-hand back up to the room, our eyes playfully locking onto each other and shying away the whole walk.
As soon as the door closed, I grabbed her around the waist and kissed her long and hard.
“Make love to me,” Nadia begged.
I looked at her and nodded.
Carefully, I started taking off her shirt, admiring the plump breasts held inside of her bra. I leaned down and kissed her tits one at a time. She wrapped her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly and wigging out of her pants inch by inch while I watched.
Laying down on the bed, I motioned for her to come closer. I kicked off my own pants and underwear off across the room. My dick laid against my leg, quickly hardening as she pressed her warm, nude body against mine. I could smell her flowery shampoo wafting up into my nose, making me want to pull her even closer to me. Burying my face in her hair, I sniffed hard.
I could feel her fingers tracing my abs and making their way down to my stiffening cock. Nadia grabbed it with her hand and started to stroke it up and down. Her hand felt so good against my skin. I pumped my dick in and out of her palm slowly, droplets of precum oozing out of the head of my dick.
She leaned down and ran her tongue around the head of my dick, eating all of the precum that was coming out of my dick. Her mouth felt amazing as she licked around and around the most sensitive part of my cock. Nadia wrapped her lips around my dick and sucked, making me clench my butt cheeks together in surprise. She opened her mouth wider and crammed my dick inside of her mouth. She worked her neck back and forth, taking my whole dick inside of her mouth and rubbing my balls. I thought I was going to blow my wad for sure if she kept doing it.
Wanting this to last longer, I pulled her off of me and flipped her onto the bed. I ran my hand against her crotch, wanting to return the favor. I opened her legs and started lapping at her pussy. It was already soaking wet. Nadia tasted so sweet. I could have licked and sucked on her pussy all day if she would have let me. I felt when she came because her body started convulsing, and she tried pushing me away. But I couldn’t stop. She was driving me nuts.
I could feel the creamy wetness against my lips. I stuck my tongue into her pussy hole, fucking her with my tongue. She let out a scream and clapped her legs close against my face as she came again.
“Please,” Nadia begged, her breath panting. “Fuck me. I need your cock.”
I crawled up slowly to her so that I could kiss her lips and let her taste her own juices. She kissed me back, darting her tongue in and out of my mouth as I guided my dick to her pussy and slapped my dick against it gently. Then, I slowly pushed my way into her pussy, slipping inside easily because she was so wet.
Nadia clawed at the sheets, moaning as she arched her back with delight. My dick was rock hard as I slowly pushed in and out of her pussy. I held her by her hips and pulled her into me. We created a small rocking motion, her hips circling as I pushed my dick deeper and deeper into her wet pussy. Her pussy was so tight, still pulsating softly from the orgasm that I had just given her. I was trying my best to keep my composure so that I wouldn’t cum too fast, but her pussy felt absolutely amazing.
“I’m cumming!” she called out, digging her fingernails into my back as she experienced another round of orgasm, this one harder than before.
After feeling her cum, her body locked around mine, I felt myself going, too. I groaned as the seed spilled out of me into her tight, wet pussy. Once the waves of orgasm had finally subsided, I fell onto the bed, happy and satisfied.
I looked over at Nadia. Her eyes were closed, and she had a massive smile on her face. I could tell that she was happy, too. For the first time ever, I felt good about us having sex. I didn’t feel a hint of regret like I usually did.
Nadia buried herself under the covers, and I did, too. We were both so comfortable and happy that I wasn’t ready for the moment to end. I held her close to me, playing the big spoon to her little spoon. She pushed her ass into my crotch, almost making me get hard all over again.
Then, I started thinking about the military and remembered that we would be deployed soon. I didn’t want to go, and now I knew that Nadia didn’t want to go either.
“I really don’t want to be deployed,” I said, more to myself than anything. “But I have to admit that going into battle is ten times easier than having to hear another tale of one of your boyfriends. I always would wait — impatiently, I might add — for you to break up with one and would dread the day that you would get with another one.”
She craned her neck around and laughed at me, elbowing me playfully. “Well, you’re one to talk, punk,” she said. “You’re just as bad. Every time I see you, it seems that you’re telling me about another girl that you’re dating. It’s almost like you’re collecting notches in your belt rather than trying to have real relationships with these girls.”
Nadia narrowed her eyes at me accusingly. I knew I had to come clean.
“Okay, I’ll admit it,” I said. “I have had some booty calls in my day.” She rolled her eyes.
“And I’ll admit that sometimes, I get with guys to get a reaction out of you,” she said sheepishly. “I do it to see
if you care at all. But it always seems like you’re just uninterested.”
I shook my head, turning her over so that I could see her face while I talked.
“It’s not that I’m not interested,” I said. “It’s just that I had no choice. I can’t offer you anything right now, so what’s the use? I spend half of the time trying to get you out of my head. But I don’t want to fight it anymore. I love you, Nadia.”
“I don’t want to fight it anymore, either,” she said, smiling at me sweetly. “I love you, too.”
I ran my fingers through her hair and stared at her round face and piercing brown eyes. She made me feel something that I had never felt for anyone else. And I wasn’t excited about the idea of it ending any time soon.
Chapter Nine - Nadia
Joshua’s words cut through right to my core, and the feelings rippling through me were all over the place. I knew that he loved me, but the one that came through the strongest was desire. Something had finally changed between us. We were together, and we both had acknowledged it. I needed him again, and I needed him now.
I kissed him hard, relishing the softness of his lips against mine. He grabbed a handful of my breast and started kneading it, teasing my nipple lightly.
He leaned down and took the aching bud into his mouth, sucking it hard. I hissed, threading my fingers through his hair. His tongue raked over the heated flesh before he leaned over and did the same to the other one. The teasing was enough to drive me wild, and I tugged his hair gently, lifting his mouth from my tits to my mouth.
He kissed me back, then pulled away and sat up a little. I looked at him in confusion and a little disappointment until he grabbed me, turned me around, and lifted my hips, so I was propped on all fours with my ass in the air. He stood up at the foot of the bed and pulled me back a little until the position was just right.
I felt his stiff shaft brush against me and quivered in anticipation as he guided it into position. Then slowly, he entered my pussy with the full length of his hard cock, pushing it all the way until I could feel every last inch of him.
His thighs slapped against my ass in a percussive rhythm as he drove his cock into me again and again. My fingers knotted in the sheets, and I pushed back against him eagerly with every thrust, taking his cock like it was made just for me.
“Harder,” I demanded, “Fuck me harder, Josh, please!”
He gripped my hips tightly and obeyed enthusiastically, that percussive rhythm getting louder and louder as he pounded into me. The pleasure swelled and writhed inside me. I knew I wasn’t going to last long, especially when he reached around and put his fingers on my clit, teasing and playing with the sensitive bud as his dick rammed my pussy again and again.
It felt so good it almost hurt, and I let out a stream of filthy talk as the pressure intensified, and I felt myself on the edge. His cock pulsed inside me, and I knew he wouldn’t be far behind.
“Cum for me, baby,” he growled, making me shiver in delight, “I want you to cum all over my cock.”
“Only…” I panted, “If you cum with me.”
Not that I could hold back, even if I wanted to. The pleasure was too much, and I shattered under his touch, despite my words. But in spite of my hair-trigger response, he wasn’t far behind, and he yelled my name as his hot load bathed my insides.
My arms gave out, and my wobbly knees threatened to do the same, so when he pulled out, I crawled back under the covers, sweat soaking through the comforter from my damp skin. He joined me under the covers and held me, letting me rest my head on his chest. I could hear the loud thumping of his heart as he held me close.
“So, let’s talk about what’s going to happen,” he said, running his fingers up and down my arm, sending chills through my body. “What are our options right now for the military?”
I had almost forgotten about Yemen and had just been lost in the moment with him, but I knew that he was right. We had to think things through and come up with a plan. I wanted to tell him about the pregnancy, but I figured that this wasn’t the right moment, so I held off.
“Well, I know one thing, whatever we decide, it will mean being discharged for good,” I said. “Are you ready for that?”
I knew how much Joshua had always wanted to be in the military. It was all that he talked about ever since we met in middle school. But, when I looked at him, he was nodding his head so hard I was sure that his head would fall off.
“Yes, I am,” he said. “My love for you is stronger than my love for the army.”
I could feel tears starting to well up in my eyes hearing him tell me that he loved me.
“I feel the same way,” I said. We kissed again, this time softly, our lips barely grazing each other.

The next day, I felt sick to my stomach as we drove onto the base. I knew what I had to do, but I was just nervous about doing it, especially considering that I was hiding a massive secret from Joshua.
“Let’s go over the plan again,” I said once he had parked the thunderbird. “I’m going to go into a state of panic, and they will be able to see that I’m too unstable to be deployed. From there, they will send me to get assessed for PTSD.”
I thought that saying that I had PTSD was a better plan than saying that I was pregnant, at least to Joshua. I knew that once I was talking to my superior officers, I would tell them the truth. But I wasn’t ready for Joshua to find out just yet.
“And I’m supposed to tell them that I have a drinking problem,” he said. “I don’t know how I feel about that, though. Won’t I be discharged dishonorably?”
“That is a risk, yes,” I said. “But what other choice do we have?”
Joshua stared out the window of the car, a faraway look in his eyes. I wished that I could have known what he was thinking.
After a few minutes, we were ready to head inside the base. I wasn’t going to waste any time. As soon as I dropped my belongings down on my bunk, I went to find a superior officer so that I could tell them the news.
“Come on in,” said Major Jones as I knocked on the door to his office. He was a stern man, known for his calculating mind. However, I had never experienced unkindness from him, and he was one of the few officers that took me seriously. “How can I help you, Nadia?”
I took a deep breath and began. “I need to talk to you about something,” I explained, trying my best to sound sad. “I just found out that I’m pregnant. I thought that I should tell you because I’m due to be deployed to Yemen soon.”
Looking up from some paperwork that he had been reading, Jones stared at me, his eyes landing on my stomach. He slid the paperwork aside and pushed his thick bifocals up on his face.
“Well, in that case, you won’t be deployed,” he explained. “Pending a doctor’s visit, of course. We can get that done today. I’ll let the other officers know, too. If your pregnancy is confirmed by a doctor, you will be reassigned to this base. It will be lighter duty.” He gave me a rare smile. “It’ll probably bore you to death, child.”
I nodded. “Thank you, sir. I want you to know that this was unexpected. I never dreamt of being a mother when I enlisted.”
Major Jones nodded. “That may be true, private, but I’m sure you will be a good one. Head over to the medical building. I’ll start the paperwork for your transfer now.”
I had to hide my excitement and simply thanked him and left his office.
The doctor’s appointment was quick and easy. Once everything was confirmed, I headed to the food court. When it was time for lunch, I found Joshua and sat next to him.
“I’ve been reassigned to the base,” I said, keeping my voice down to a whisper.
Joshua sighed with relief. “Good,” he said and started in on his lunch.
I watched him waiting for him to tell me how his part of the plan had gone. “Well?” I asked eagerly.
“Well, what?” he said, playing dumb.
“Well, what happened with
you?” I asked, my voice a harsh whisper. “What happened when you told the superior officers about your drinking problem?”
Josh stopped eating, wiped his mouth, and looked over at me. “I didn’t,” he said.
I paused, trying to process what he had said. I figured that maybe he had been too busy to say anything yet.
“Well, you can always tell them after lunch,” I said.
“I can’t do it,” Joshua said, dropping his head. “But now that I know that you will be staying here in the states, I know that I can deal with my final tour. All I wanted was to know that you would be safe. I’m sorry, Nadia.”
We finished eating in silence. I could almost hear the sound of my heart breaking as I absentmindedly shoveled food into my mouth. I wasn’t really hungry, but I knew that I needed to eat something, if not for me, but for the life growing inside of me. Thinking about the baby made me even sadder.
After lunch, I turned to him, saying the words that I had been dreading ever since I found out about the baby.
“Well, I guess this is goodbye,” I said. “I’ve already been reassigned, so there’s no need for me to stay in the barracks. I’ll be heading over to base housing shortly.”
“Okay,” he said, jamming his hands into his pockets and staring at the floor. I could tell that he was sad, too.
“I love you, Josh,” I admitted. “And I’m going to wait for you no matter what.”
Josh took a step back and shook his head. “No, don’t wait for me,” he argued.
It was my turn to shake my head. “I have no intention of listening to your wishes right now,” I said. “I’m going to wait for you, and that’s that.”
Josh just looked at me, sadness etched on his face. He walked away, leaving me standing there watching his back as he made his way back to the barracks.
The next day, he was gone.
