Loving An Airborne Ranger (5 page)

She pulled
him down tightly as she pumped her hips as his thrusts increased in speed.  Faster and faster.  Then hard thrusts as he emptied himself inside.  He lay heavily atop her.  Realizing it he started to move off.  “No, don’t move, not yet.  She began to slowly move against him.  He was surprised that he was ready again so quickly.  He began to move.  They found the rhythm and moved in the most pleasant way.  This time they were together all of the way.  Her climax was as big as the first one.  His was no slouch either.

He lay on his back, spread his legs slightly and pulled her over on top
, his soft tool still in her warm, moist muff.  He thought she had fallen asleep but then she began to move slowly, gently against him.  Slowly, slowly, then more insistently.  He rose to the occasion and began to move in sync with her.  The motions continued, speeding up slowing down and then speeding back up.  She gasped and came again, and then he joined her.

It was over.  They lay limply in each other’s arms.  “Lisa, I love you” he said.  “I love you with all my heart.  “I thought I had lost you.  Tell me I haven’t.”

“I love you too Chuck.  I think the first kiss started it but I was sure, after I hadn’t heard from you or seen you for several days.  I was worried and called a friend and he told me you were on a mission.  Until I saw you back safely, I was almost sick with worry.”

“What are we going to do?  You can’t move now.”

“My stuff is only in local storage.  It wasn’t going anywhere until I was sure.  I do want you to understand something though.  I have to go back to Texas.  I’ve promised Mom and Dad.  I can’t disappoint them.”

“I have an idea.  I have a ton of leave on the books.  Let me put in for leave and go back with you.”

“Oh could you?  Would you?  I would love that and Kyle would too.  Oh, I forgot all about him.  I have to check on him.”

“Honey, don’t go to the hotel tonight.  Stay here with me.  Please.”

“I don’t know about that.  The neighbors would talk.”

“Your car is right where it always is.  Stay here.”

“I don’t know.” 

“Lisa.”

“Okay, I will.  Now let me see to my son.  And Gunner.  I forgot about Gunner.  I have a kennel in the car.  Why don’t you get it and I’ll take care of Kyle.”

“I’d better get dressed first.”

“Me too.”

He came back in with the kennel; they gave Gunner some water and fed him.  Chuck put the kennel in the utility room. 

Lisa had Kyle ready for bed.  “Is the spare bedroom okay,” she asked.

“It’s all made up and hasn’t been used in months.”

He went with her as she carried the already asleep two year old into the bedroom, pulled back the covers and laid him gently in the bed.  “Good night, my little man,” she said as she covered him up.

“Would you like some coffee?” he asked.

“Coffee sounds good.”

While it was brewing, they went into the family room.  She started to sit on the couch, but he held her up.  He dropped to one knee, “Lisa, I love you and want to take care of you and Kyle.  Will you marry me?”

“Yes I will, but first, let me ask you, will you marry us?  All three of us?  Gunner is part of the family.”

“Yes I will.”

The coffee was ready and they each got a mug and returned to the family room.  They sat on the sofa just looking at each other.  Neither said anything for a long time.  Then Lisa said, “Where will we live?”

“What’s wrong with living on Post?”

“Nothing at all.  Which house?”

“I know how much you loved Matt, and I could live there.  My memories here aren’t that memorable.”

“I don’t know.  I’ll have some fond memories of this house, and giggled.  And blushed.

They talked long into the night, before going to bed together for the second time.

They awoke the next morning to a clear day that was going to be a memorable day.  A sleepy Kyle wandered into the bedroom.  “Mommy?”

She lifted him onto the bed.  He looked at Chuck and said, “Hi.”

Chuck embraced them both.  Lisa said, “I want to call Mom.” 

“Why don’t you use the phone in here and I’ll take Kyle into the kitchen?” 

“Mom, it’s going to be a few days before I can come.  No, no, there’s nothing wrong.  Mom, we’re going to get married.  Kyle and I are getting married.  Chuck Carson asked us to marry him.  You met him at the funeral.  Yes, he lives next door.”

“Lisa, not another soldier.
  You’re not marrying another soldier?”

“Mom, he’s not another soldier.  He’s a very nice man and he loves both of us and he happens to be a soldier.” 

“When will the wedding be?”

“We haven’t set a date yet.  He just proposed last night.  He’s going to take leave and come with me for the visit with you and dad.”

“Let us know when you’ll get here.  We’ll have to change things up a bit.”

“I will Mom.  I love you.  Mom, I’m so happy right now, I could burst.”

She went back into the kitchen where Chuck had already started breakfast.  He had Kyle sitting on the counter watching the process.  Mom said, “You’re not marrying another soldier?”

“And what did you say.”

“I told her you were my most favorite soldier and you loved both Kyle and me.”

“I’ve been thinking, why don’t we talk to Post Housing and see if we can get signed up for a bigger house, if not, we could live off Post.  Also, I think we should sell both houses of furniture to a couple of nice families and start off with our own.”

“I like the convenience of living on Post, but a bigger house might be nice.  The furniture idea is a great idea.  By the way, have I told you this morning that I love you?  Well, I do.”

“No, but the eggs are going to burn if you don’t let me finish this.  Then I’ll finish you.”

“Now that I like the sound of.”

They had a full morning planned.  Since Post Housing opened first, they went there with Kyle in tow.  Gunner was asleep on the patio.   Lisa turned in the key, and arranged for the move out inspection.  Storage was already set up for her furniture.  Chuck spoke up and said, “We’re going to get married and Lisa has a son.  I would like to apply for a larger home.  How long is the waiting list?”

The Post Housing Officer asked, “Do you live on Post?”

“I have the house next door to hers.  We can stay in my house since her furniture’s in storage, until something larger becomes available.  Lisa wants to live on Post but we can rent in town.”

“Hold on and let me check and see what is happening.”

Chuck held up his hand with his fingers crossed.  Lisa smiled as the officer returned.  “You would be releasing two houses, Captain, is that correct?”

“Yes, that is correct.” 

“With another dependent you would qualify for a larger house.  As it happens, one will be opening the middle of the month, in about 3 weeks.  It would have to be painted and made ready.  Does that work for you?”

“That will be perfect.”

“I’ll get the paper work processed.  Can you come back this afternoon or tomorrow morning and pick it up.  We close at four.”

“I can do that.”

The next stop was the personnel office.  Chuck applied for leave.  Since he was not up for a mission and had 60 days on the books, the personnel officer, a young 1
st
Lieutenant, said there should not be a problem getting it processed for the captain today.

His next stop was to the company office and his commanding officer.  His CO was in and Chuck was invited into the office.  The door was closed, with Lisa remaining outside seated in a typical military gray metal chair.  The door opened, and Chuck came out and said, “Honey, come in.  I want you to meet my Commanding Officer.  Major, this is my fiancée, Lisa Turner.”

“Mrs. Turner, it is my pleasure to meet you.  Please accept my congratulations.  You’re marrying a fine officer with a promising Army career.  Captain Carson is an excellent officer.  I’m given to understand your late husband was a Night Stalker?  They’re the group we want at our back whenever we go in.” 

“Thank you Major; it is our pleasure to meet you.  My husband was Captain Matt Turner.  He died outside Kabul.  This young man is the future General, Kyle Turner.”  The major extended his hand and Kyle shook it, his tiny hand lost in the huge fist of the Special Forces officer.

The major said, “Good work Captain, I’ll sign your leave papers today.  You can pick them up this afternoon.”

“Thank you, Major”

He did a smart about face and left the room. 

Back in the car, Chuck said, “About a ring.  Would you like to go to the PX first and look at theirs?  Then we can go into Clarksville and look at them in a real jewelry store.
”

“You don’t need to buy new rings.  I can use mine.”

That brought an emphatic “no” from Chuck.  “I don’t want to wipe Matt from your life.  He was my friend, but I want you to have my rings.”

“If it weren’t against the rule for public displays of affection, I would kiss you.  I’ll settle for this and she patted his hand.  Let’s go to the PX.”

“Lisa, please don’t consider price.  Don’t be practical.  Pick something you like, remember, you’re going to wear it forever.”

“Yes sir, Captain Sir.”  It was followed by one of her irrepressible giggles.

After looking at many choices, and a catalog, Lisa selected a Marquis Cut solitaire.  It fit perfectly and would not have to be sized.  She also selected a wedding band to match.

Chuck picked up his leave papers, and they went to Post housing to sign the papers there.  They were ready to leave two days later.

Lisa called her mother, “Mom, we’re leaving tomorrow morning and plan to split the trip.  We’ll stopover in Texarkana and should be home around noon.  I’m so excited, I can hardly wait.”

“Lisa, make sure you drive carefully.  We don’t want anything to happen to you.”

“We will, Mom.  See you day after tomorrow.  Love you.  Bye”

The planning was done and everything set for the trip.  Lisa put Kyle to bed and then headed to the master bath to get ready for bed herself.  She had brought her most filmy negligee.  It was a pale diaphanous blue.  It left nothing to the imagination, but then Chuck had seen it all last night.  Nevertheless, she was both excited and shy about getting
in bed with him. 

There was a sharp intake of breath when he saw her.  She was a vision in pale blue.  She was smiling a shy smile and climbed in beside him.  He was wearing boxer shorts with no tee shirt.  “You like?” she asked. 

“I like very much,” he replied.  He reached for her, hungry for the feel of her.  They came together for a prolonged kiss.  She molded every inch of her body to his and clung to him during and after the kiss. 

“I love you Major Carson.”  Chuck had recently received a promotion to Major.  He was in the 5% “below the line” selected for early promotion.

“And I love you too, soon to be Mrs. Major Carson.  Never in my life did I expect to feel this way about anyone.” 

Their love making did not have the frantic rush of the night before.  Rather it was the long slow movement of two people familiar with the body of the other.  It lasted for a long period of time with touching and feeling, and kissing but none of it interrupted the process of the love act.  Lisa squirmed a bit and began to speed up her movements.  Chuck
felt her desire build matched her movement, and they climaxed together with a satisfying feeling of completion. They were both spent, but pleasantly so, and fell asleep spooned together.

A heavy rain was falling
when they pulled out of Fort Campbell.  They stopped at a Cracker Barrel for breakfast and were well and truly on their way. 

They headed toward Memphis where they would cross the Mississippi River and then to Little Rock.  They decided to stop for the day in Texarkana and make it to Dime Box by noon.  It had been a good day.  They shared the driving and felt pretty good when they pulled into an Embassy Suites Hotel.  The suites provided a nice touch in the extra room space and the breakfast in the morning.

They were up and dressed early and found the breakfast area not crowded at all.  They were able to get custom omelets and scrambled eggs for Kyle.  Chuck had taken Gunner for his morning walk, then fed him and put him in the kennel.  Lisa checked Kyle, changed him and they were off.

Lisa had given her mother a good estimate.  They pulled into the Barrett’s driveway just after noon.

Her mother met them at the door while her dad, Ed, stood in the background.  She hugged all three of them.  “I’m glad to meet you under more pleasant circumstances, Chuck.”

Her dad came over and said, Welcome to our home, Chuck.  It’s good to see you.  I’ll help you get the bags from the car.” 

“That’s okay, Mr Barrett.

“Nonsense, besides, I think Sue wants to talk to Lisa.”

When they went outside, Lisa’s mother said, “Lisa, Dad and I talked about it and we don’t mind if you share a room.  I’m sure you’re used to it.”
