The Sailors formed a line on each side of the stairs. They extended their swords forming an arch. It’s a military tradition used to welcome a bride into the Navy. I clutched Aiden’s arm as we stepped down the stairs. The Sailors swords halted us.
“The rite of passage is a kiss.”
Aiden pecked my lips.
We stepped down two more steps.
“The rite of passage is a kiss.”
Aiden intertwined our lips.
We continued on and the last two Sailors lowered their swords.
“The rite of passage is a kiss. Make it a good one Commander,” his friend Buddy smiled.
“Oh, I will,” Aiden chuckled dropping me over his knee slipping his tongue into my mouth.
If it wasn’t for the guests clapping, I may have forgotten we weren’t alone.
The side walk swayed as he stood me right side up, I grabbed my head.
Aiden’s eyebrows rustled together. “Are you all right?”
“Yes, baby. I’m fine.”
I wasn’t fine, but this wasn’t the time or place for us to talk. After all the food I ate last night, I hung my head over the toilet puking my guts out. We’d been so busy moving pieces of my furniture into his home and selling off others here and there. I didn’t notice my monthly visitor hadn’t arrived.
We told my parents the truth at dinner we weren’t getting married because I was pregnant. On my way to the church this morning, I picked up a pregnancy test along the way. Of all places to take the pregnancy test, I chose the church bathroom. I confirmed my suspicions, the tiny pink plus sign appeared in the clear window of the pregnancy stick. I placed the test back in the plastic holder and buried it in my purse. When would be the right time to tell Aiden I’m pregnant?
He’d ship out soon. Should I tell him? He already had me to worry about. I wasn’t sure if I wanted him to worry about our child too.
No Nadia, he became a Commander for a reason. He must bear it all.
A gray Bentley rolled to a stop outside the church.
“Wow! Beautiful car,” I stated.
“I hoped you’d like it.” Sydney stepped to my side dressed in the pale pink dress, brushing the ground.
My eyes widened. “What do you mean?”
“I rented the car to drive you two to the wedding reception.”
I placed my hands on her arms. “What are you talking about?”
“Samantha sent her team of party planners to create a perfect experience for you and Aiden. And Sebastian has chartered a jet to whisk you both off to a private villa in St. Croix.”
I pressed my hand against my lavender colored lips. “You guys are so sweet. Thank you very much.” I wrapped her in my embrace.
“You’re family now. We take care of our own.” She stepped back her brown eyes sparkled. “See you at the reception.”
I nodded and kissed her cheek.
Aiden and I waved to our guests as we climbed into the chauffeured Bentley.
After riding around the city relaxed in my man’s arms taking in the sights, we arrived at our venue. Our guests crowded the dance floor, sipped champagne, and munched on hors d'oeuvres. They were enjoying the festivities. Lilies flooded center pieces on the tables throughout. Lavender mountain lilies were tied in a bow inside white Tulle wrapped around each wooden chair. The intricate details of table settings and romantic candles was every girl’s dream. I’d never forget my wedding day. It was truly a special time in my life. I knew Katie was here with me in spirit.
Aiden’s lips melted against my cheek. “Baby, are you ok?”
“Yes, I was just thinking about Katie.”
His sexy lips fell upon my ear. “She’d be proud of you. You’ve started back attending NA meetings. You’re doing great, sweetheart.”
I smiled up at him. “Aiden, thank you. And I cannot wait to get you alone.”
“Nadia, the thought of you riding my cock and screaming my name is making me rock hard.”
“Fuck, Aiden, I’m so wet right now.”
“Music to my ears.”
“Mr. and Mrs. Wilder!” Valen shouted slamming his hand on Aiden’s shoulder.
“Can I steal your husband for a minute?”
I smirked. “Yes.”
He tugged Aiden toward their friends.
“Right back, baby.” Aiden smiled.
The server approached. “Mrs. Wilder, would you like a glass of wine?”
Shit, I realized I couldn’t. Ugh. “Not right now. May I have a Sprite?”
“Right away, Mrs. Wilder.”
I loved hearing my new last name. My eyes danced around the room admiring our guests enjoy themselves. Smiling on the inside, I thought about every time we made love in the morning in the shower before Aiden left for work. And in the evening upon his return I’d greet him at the door unbuckling his pants, climbing into his arms. I’d never get enough of my husband. We hadn’t had sex in years so I guess you could say we were starving sexually. Every time we made love Aiden made me come. I couldn’t wait until we were on our honeymoon.
“Hey, sis.” I turned meeting my brothers gaze. Edwards dreads were pulled back into a ponytail. His bright smile widened across his chocolate face.
“Edward, I miss you.” I leaned up clutching his neck.
“It’s good to see you. I guess you’re never moving back to Boston to help me run the tax offices.”
“I doubt it, Edward. The business is all yours. My family will be my focus.”
His eyebrows rose. “Are you talking about just you and Aiden?” I laughed.
“No. I haven’t told him yet. So, it’s our secret.”
“Congratulations sis. My lips are sealed.”
“Thank you.”
My mother waved her hand in our direction. I pointed at myself she shook her head.
“You’re up, Edward. Mom wants to brag about you to the world.”
We laughed.
He pointed toward her and scurried over.
By the end of the night Aiden’s Sailor buddies were drunk off their asses.
Aiden slept on the flight to St. Croix. My big strong man had too much to drink. My fingers circled my stomach and my breath caught in my throat. I realized Aiden would be away most of my pregnancy. For the first time his being away became real. Planting its seed in the forefront of my mind.
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
AIDEN
I swooped Nadia up into my arms and carried her across the threshold. “We’ve arrived Mrs. Wilder.”
“Oh my god, it’s breathtaking.” She massaged my neck, kissing my lips.
“It sure is. Sebastian spared no expense. He didn’t have to do this.” I lowered Nadia to her feet.
She smiled over her shoulder as she crossed the room. “He cares about his friend. He respects what you do for this country.”
“I suppose. Sebastian has risked his life for this country too. Hacking for the government over the years.”
“Aiden, there’s an oasis outside our back door.”
I stood behind her taking in the view of the Caribbean Sea. It was a beautiful clear blue.
“Aiden, it’s ten at night. We should skinny dip.”
“Hell, no. And risk someone seeing my wife’s body. No. End of discussion.”
I wrapped my hands around her waist. “Tomorrow, I’d like to watch you, skinny dip in the private pool, right there.” I pointed.
She chuckled. “Sounds good.” Nadia turned in my arms.
“I see you are sobering up. Didn’t think you would be coherent on our wedding night.”
“And miss sliding deep into my wife’s pussy on our wedding night. Not a fucking chance.”
She moaned against my chest.
“Come here.” I tugged her hand and walked over to the king-sized bed positioned next to the dark wood patio shudder doors. Sitting on the bed, I swayed my hands along her curvy hips, gazing into her eyes. Her face was filled with melancholy.
“Nadia, something is wrong? I’
ve caught that distant look on your face a few times today.”
Not saying a word, she ran across the room, digging through her luggage.
“Nadia, talk to me.”
She scurried over, hands behind her back, my worried eyes met hers.
“Open your hand.”
I didn’t know what to think. My large palm turned face up. She placed a slender plastic tube in my hand.
“Turn it over.”
I flipped it over and stared at the pink plus sign on the pregnancy test.
My mouth dropped open. “Nadia, we’re having a baby?”
Her hand flew over her mouth, shaking her head. Tears burst forth down her brown cheeks. I pulled her into my lap. “This is great, baby.” I kissed her neck.
“Are you sure? Maybe I should have taken birth control pills. You’ll be away most of my pregnancy.” She dropped her head against mine.
“I know that’s a lot to handle. The thought of you carrying our child makes life so much sweeter.”
“Really?”
“Absolutely. We haven’t used protection one time. I knew there was a chance you’d become pregnant with our child. I’m ecstatic.”
She caressed my ears. “Me too.”
“Good. Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance. Our parents will help.”
I padded my large thumb across her cheeks, swiping at the tears.
“Ok. I’ll be right back.” Nadia disappeared into the bathroom. I stared at the pregnancy test a second time.
“Wow, we’re having a baby.”
I’d love to be there for Nadia every step of the way during her pregnancy. The thought of her being alone left a bad taste in my mouth. I knew I’d do everything in my power to make it back home to my family.
“Mr. Wilder,” Nadia sang.
I glanced across the room. She stood in the bathroom doorway wearing a pink frilly lace teddy.
My cock strained against my dress pants. I stretched my hand out toward her. “Get back over here.”
“One second.” She darted across the room and grabbed my hat.
“I want you to slip your hat back on big boy,” she purred, strutting toward me.
I smiled, removing the hat from her hand, pulling it snug on my head.
“Shit, you’re handsome. You in that hat are almost enough to make me come.”
My eyebrows rose. “Oh... Well what would make you come?”
“Me staring up at you while you slide in and out of my soaked pussy.”
My tongue slid across the thin lace material covering her breasts.
Pulling in her lower lip, Nadia’s head dropped back. “Ah, fuck Aiden. I love you so much.”
She sank into my lap and I gripped her neck, sucking her chin. “Baby, you’re everything I’ve ever wanted in a man.”
She gripped my large biceps. “Aiden, did you hear me?”
I glanced into her eyes. “Yes, baby, I heard you.”
“There’s no way I’d let you leave without knowing how much you matter to me. As much as I don’t want you to go. I’ll make it. You are the only man I can ever love. You’re my heart, Aiden,” she cried.
“I understand, Nadia. You’re the Navy wife a man like me needs and deserves.”
“Never forget, Aiden.”
“I won’t, sweetheart.”
“Good, now fuck me slow then fast.” She winked.
I tossed her on the bed. Standing briefly, I peeled off my clothes.
“What a gorgeous sight.” Nadia ran her tongue across her sexy lips. “That rock-hard body and those tempting abs.” She leaned over the side of the bed and slid her lips down my cock.
“Shit, that’s good, baby.”
Nadia’s hands clutched my ass and her head bobbed back and forth fast then slow. She slid her tongue underneath the head of my cock. My eyes rolled in the back of my head.
“Um,” she moaned sliding her tongue up and down my cock. Nadia slipped my dick back into her mouth applying just enough pressure as my cock hit the back of her throat.
“Baby, fuck, I’m coming.” I grabbed that fucking bun on her head as I came down her throat.
Nadia fell back on the bed, sliding her finger between her lips. “That was delicious.”
I snatched that fucking baby doll teddy from her slender frame. Spreading her thick thighs, I stroked my thumb over her clit. Her hand fell against her forehead.
“Aiden, it’s coming,” she purred.
“No.” I placed my hat on the bed and slipped my tongue into her tight greedy hole.
“Oh, fuck. Oh fuck! It feels so good.”
Massaging her thighs, I licked within her folds then slicked my tongue around her clit.
“Aiden. Aiden!” Her body tensed up, then shuddered against my tongue.
“Oh, yeah, baby. I’m coming and it feels so fucking good,” she screamed in pleasure.
Standing on my knees, I slipped my hat back onto my head and stroked my cock.
“Nadia, open your eyes. I want to watch your face as you take every inch of this long thick dick.”
Her shaky hands gripped my big forearms. “Every inch, baby.”
Her eyes widened as I slid inch by inch into her convulsing pussy.
“Baby,” she moaned.
Hovering over her, I pushed her leg forward, sliding deeper and deeper inside her. Nadia gripped my neck, pressing her lips against mine. “Aiden, it’s coming again.”
“Hold on, baby.” I pounded into her slowly then quickened my pace.
“Yes, don’t stop, Aiden. Yes, your dick is the best!” she yelled.
I swiped the back of my hand across my brow wiping away a layer of sweat. “You’re not coming yet.”
I tossed my hat aside and pulled her into my lap. “Ride this cock good, Nadia.”
Her arms stretched across my shoulders and our lips connected. Clenching her ass cheek, I slammed into her tight walls.
“Fuck, I can’t get enough of your tight pussy,” I growled, biting her neck.
“Oh yeah, Aiden, come with me... Now... I’m going to explode.”
I stared into her beautiful eyes. “I’m coming, baby.” My toes curled as I gripped her back, filling her pussy with my seed.
Holding her in my arms on our wedding night was a memory I’d never forget.
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
AIDEN
No contact with the outside world was excruciating for the first time in my Navy SEAL career. I finally knew what it felt like to miss another human being deep in my heart. So many times, I’d listen to my men talk about their wives and kids. I finally understood what that aching pain felt like. But a man in my position couldn’t ponder on thoughts of family, I had to focus and strive to stay alive. Leading SEAL team twelve into war was my number one mission.
Staring through night vision goggles my team, and I stood along a corridor waiting to storm the building and take out our target. He was a dangerous man who sent several sleeper cells to America to wreak havoc. Cutting the head off of the snake would help, but not end our problem. Another evil motherfucker would rise and we’d rush to destroy them also. That was what we did for the last six months, cut the head off of snakes.
I raised two fingers and motioned for my men to move in. A sea of men fired their weapons at us. There were more men in the compound then the number we were briefed on.
“Abort! Abort!” I shouted. One of my men was hit. I dragged him out of the compound.
“We need a chopper down here, now.”
Someone tipped them off. “Come on! Move!” I motioned with my hand.
“SEAL team twelve a chopper is landing now,” dispatch stated.
“Copy that.”
“Men, get on that chopper. I will hold them off.”
“Commander,” Jenkins held his arms out.
“That’s an order!” Gripping my machine gun, I backed up toward a road behind me. Firing my weapon bullets hurled through the air slamming into a few targets who fell over the wall above. I had t
o get out of there. I glanced over to my right. Jenkins helped another one of our men to the chopper a few feet away. I couldn’t make it to the chopper without getting hit. I ran down the road backwards. A bullet penetrated my side. Muscling through the pain, I ran down a hill and hid. I heard voices nearby. It was in my best interest to keep moving. Finding shelter, so I could stop the bleeding was all that ran through my mind. Stumbling upon a cave, I hid. Lying on the ground, applying pressure to the wound wasn’t helping. I needed to grab my medical kit, but I couldn’t risk making a sound. Aiden, you can’t die like this. Slowly my eyes closed.
∞
Seven months had passed. Birds chirped, and the sun heated my back. I inhaled then exhaled, pressing the doorbell. Running my fingers through my long hair, I exhaled.
Silence. I peeked down the street, allowing the sun to warm my face.
“Hello, may I help you?”
I turned. “I’m home.”
Her eyes filled with tears, clutching her large belly. I pulled the screen door open damn near ripping it off its hinges. Gripping her belly, warm tears streamed down my face. “I never thought, I’d see you again.”
I wrapped her in my arms. “They said you were dead,” she cried.
“I’m here now. I had to find my way back home. I can’t believe I hadn’t seen you in seven months.”
She stepped back, grabbing my hand pulling me into the house. We sat on the sofa.
“I just want to look at you, Nadia. Fuck, I missed you.”
“I missed you and so did little Aiden.”
My eyes widened. “We’re having a boy?”
“Yes! Talk to him. He knows your voice. I play the voice recordings to him all the time.”
I rubbed her stomach. “Daddy’s home. I love you so much,” I sniffled.
Nadia caressed my bruised face. “This is all I wanted. You here with us. I love you with all my heart, Aiden. What happened?”
“It’s a long story.”
“I want to hear it.”
“I will tell you in time. Right now, I want to enjoy my family.” I pulled Nadia into my arms.
I’d eventually tell her about the hell I went through to return home. None of that mattered now. Only Nadia and Aiden Jr.
