G.I. BABY (28 page)

He will come home today. They were all anxiously waiting.

The Stimsons were in the living room. She could hear the twins laughter as they ran around the house.
 

Bella received the news last week and they sobbed in joy, hugging each other. The USAF staff who called told them Craig would undergo medical attention and would need to recuperate a few days and attend to his various duties before he can go home.

They understood, but the waiting had been forever.

She wished he’d call, but he hadn’t. But it did’t matter. He was coming home. Alive.

It was still unbelievable that he’d survived that execution.

She had left everything to God.

God answered her prayers, in such a spectacular way.

Craig reciting the pledge of allegiance will probably become one of the most inspiring videos against terrorism.

Richard will be so proud of his father when he’d finally understand the meaning of it all.

She heard her nieces screaming at the top of their lungs.

“Uncle Craig! Uncle Craig!”

Love was home.

——*****——

He stood by the window as he cradled
his sleeping son in his arms.
 

Craig stared at his son’s face, his eyes glistening.
 

Andi felt like a fist was clenching around her heart. They had shaved off his hair and his face still bore the ravages of his ordeal. Purplish bruises marred his handsome face. He had bandages on his leg from wounds he had sustained during his escape, he’d said.

She wanted to strip him naked so she would see his wounds, kiss all his pain away.

She hadn’t hugged him enough yet. Hadn’t kissed him enough. Her entire being was screaming to touch him, feel him, be reassured he was really alive and well and standing before her again. She was afraid he was just a phantom and he would vanish any minute.

“He has grown so fast,” he said softly.

“Because he’s such a glutton. Like father, like son.”

He smiled. The few meters separating them inside that room became unbearable.

She walked towards him, stood a foot in front of him.

“I would have called…but…” his voice trailed off.

“But?”

“I was…afraid.”

The vulnerability in his eyes broke her heart.

“Of what?”

“Of you.”

“Me?”

“Yeah.”

“The mighty officer Craig Walker who has enthralled the entire world by his bravery in the face of death is afraid of a girl?”

He smiled again, a little boy smile. She had never seen that smile.

“A girl who holds him by the balls, yeah.”

“Hmmm, I like that.”

“And by the heart.”

“I love that. I love you.”

The words just flowed out of her lips naturally.

He swallowed. A tear fell. “Andi…”

She touched his face. “I prayed so hard, that you be spared your life. Then I prayed so hard that you be spared the pain. I didn’t give up on you. I just surrendered you to God. But he gave you back. I’ll never let a day pass without telling you how much I love you.”

“You don’t know what I’ve done.”

“What you’ve done was defend your country and your people from the enemies of freedom.”

“I have killed…taken lots of lives…innocent lives, too.”

“In the line of duty.”

“There’s no difference. These hands have no right to hold this innocence.”

She touched his hand that was holding Richard. She laced her fingers with his. “These hands are a hero’s hands. Our son is safest under their care.”

“I’m not leaving the service.”

“I’ll never ask that of you.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.”

He inhaled shakily, his lips splitting into a smile as tears streamed down his face. She was absolutely sure she was the only woman he’d allowed to see his tears. She will always treasure that.

“Will you marry me, sugar pie?”

Her own tears welled up again. “I thought you’d never ask.”

“That a yes?”

She raised herself on her toes and kissed him. “Oh, fuck, yeah.”

He burst out laughing.

She thought she’d never hear his laughter again. A miracle happened when she almost stopped believing. God was perverse that way, but she was nothing but grateful. For even the littlest things she would share with this man from now on, she will always be grateful.

“Speaking of…” He grinned wickedly.

Oh, THAT look. How she’d missed that.

——*****——

“Sugar, are you absolutely sure
it’s okay to do this now?”

“It’s been four months now, Craig. Quit worrying. And Hurry up!”

He chuckled.
 

She was sitting on the edge of the bed and he was standing between her legs. He removed his shirt while she went for his fly with shaking fingers, her insides fluttering in anticipation.

She scooped him out of his pants.

Huge, hard and hot, his cock was a welcome sight after the horrors of the past week.
 

“Hello, big boy. Miss me?”

She
 
gripped him possessively with her palms, squeezing. He jerked and lurched in response, whitish fluid trickling from the crown.

She grinned up at him. “Oh, he does miss me. Quite badly, I think.”

He combed his fingers through her hair. “Don’t tease me.” His thumb skimmed her lips and she sucked on it. He groaned, his cock jerking in her hands, growing even harder.

She bent and licked the crown.

“God, baby…!” he gasped, his entire body shuddering, his fingers tightening on her hair.

She wrapped her lips around him and took him deeper into her mouth, deeper and deeper still. She clamped around him and sucked as she pulled out.

That drove him crazy. She did it again and again…

He pulled out of her mouth and hauled her bodily onto the bed, crawling atop her.

She knew teasing time was over. His eyes were burning with passion. He pulled at the elastic top of her dress but she stopped him. She was so hungry for him but her confidence slipped a bit. She’d been worried about her body’s changes after child birth.

“Can I keep my dress on? Please?”

He paused. “Why?”

“Uhm…” She turned scarlet. “I don’t look the same, you know…”

His lust-dazed eyes melted into gentleness. “Oh sugar pie, are you kidding me?”

“I have stretch marks now. Lots.”

“You think I care about that?” He pulled her dress down her chest, revealing her breast covered with her breast-feeding bra.

She gripped his wrists. “I might not look the same down there too.”

He leaned down and kissed her lips gently. Then he took her hand and wrapped it around his cock. “Do you have any doubt what it’s dying to enter in a few seconds?”

That alleviated her anxiety.

He removed her dress, then her bra and panties.

He spread her legs and stared at her body.

“Your beautiful body gave life to my son. You carried him inside you, nurtured him and gave birth to him and I saw that. I’ll always treasure that, sugar pie. You’re a mighty goddess. My goddess.”

All her issues were wiped away by his words. “Officer, you sure are a talker now.”

He grinned and touched her pussy. She’d kept it totally shaved for hygiene as her wound healed. His finger skimmed the lips lightly. Then he was exploring the inner crevices and her juices flowed, drenching his digits.

He groaned. “Baby, I want you so bad. I want to be inside you now.”

She opened her legs wider. “Come to me.”

He moved closer and gripped his cock, rubbing the head against the center of her pussy.

They moaned in unison. It felt so good, to be feeling him again like this. Her core was clenching in hunger, knowing the pleasure that was coming.

“Baby…I need to…”

He pressed inward.

She gasped as he slid in.

“You okay, baby?”

She nodded. “Yes….Just surprised….Oh Craig!”

He hissed a curse. “What did the doctor do, sew you up closed?”

She couldn’t help a giggle. “Are you complaining?”

“You feel like a virgin all over again.”

“Is that bad?’

“Bad? Hell, no. Just don’t wanna hurt you.”
 

He pressed deeper, stretching her gently. She was touched by his restraint.

She framed his face with her palms and wrapped her legs around his hips.
 

“I missed you so bad. I wanna feel you so deep inside me. Make love to me, my love.”

——*****——

During his captivity, he’d thought of this
to get through another day of being hungry and thirsty. It kept him sane. It kept his hope alive. He wanted to live, to survive so he can make love to her again, like this…

Her pussy embraced his cock tightly, welcoming him as he buried himself inside her to the hilt. He didn’t know… but it felt even better now. Maybe because he knew he was truly loved now, not just by her body but by her soul.

She loved him.

Knowing that fueled his need.
 

He moved, claiming what was his. This tight, beautiful, absolutely fantastic pussy was his and his alone.

The pleasure was unbelievable, like that first time. It always felt like the first time with her.
 

He kissed her sweet, sweet lips as he owned her sweet, sweet pussy. He fed fed on her honeyed moans as he pumped in and out of her and she was clenching around him, meeting him head on, giving him as good as she got.
 

It was madness and perfection at the same time.

This oneness.

This gift.

He felt the claws of ultimate bliss coming to get him.

“Andi…I love you, baby. I love you!”

She responded with a sharp cry.

He felt her orgasm rip through her, gripping him as well, taking him with her in that flight to ecstasy. And he went with her, inside her, so deep inside her, surrendering his all to her.

He took her prisoner with her love and passion and then she set him free, free, free!

An eagle soaring towards the endless sky.

EPIL
O
GUE
 

IT WAS A LOVELY DAY.
For a wedding.

Andi watched with tears in her eyes as the bride recited her vows to her groom.

She’d uttered the same vow of undying love and commitment to her husband last year, too.

That was a life-changing moments for her, to finally marry the love of her life.

She was so happy she just wanted everyone around her to experience the same happiness, as well. Including the woman getting married today.

After her wedding, she finally made that call. The connection she’d vowed never to make with the woman who’d given her so much heartaches and disappointments.

Her mother.

It was a new life for them from that day forward.

Craig helped her get her mother and siblings to the US. Now they were one big happy family.

Her siblings were now studying in good schools. She was now back in the university too.

Her mother?

Never scoff at a hopeless romantic. You’ll never know when fairy godmother finally gets in the mood and grants a prince.
 

Somebody played match-maker and was successful, too.

Craig introduced her mother to one of his older friends in the military, a divorced, retired colonel.
