“Billy, fuck me harder. I want to feel you deeper inside me. Harder.”
“Your wish is my command.” Billy replied with a playful smile. He drove himself even deeper, all the way to the hilt. Her screams of pleasure drove Billy to the edge until he could no longer hold himself back. As he felt her shudder in his arms, he came inside her, spilling his warmth in her tight channel.
They dropped to the floor, Billy’s strength now depleted. He fell backward and Savannah collapsed on top of him. “Ow!”
“Oh no, Billy are you okay?”
He ran his fingers through her bright red hair and smiled. “I’ve never felt better. I have dreamed of this moment for the last four years. I missed you so much. Much more than you will ever know. The thought of anyone touching you like I just did was driving me insane. Savannah, I will never leave you again. I swear you will never have to worry about being alone again... Marry me.”
Billy looked in Savannah’s eyes as tears streamed down her heart shaped face. He wiped her cheeks with his thumbs. “I’m so sorry. You’re not ready for that. I just got home and sprung this on you with no warning at all...”
She interrupted him with the most wonderful words he’d ever heard in his life. “Yes...yes, I’ll marry you!”
Billy took her face in his hands and pulled her closer to him. He kissed her passionately. “You don’t know how happy you’ve made me.”
Savannah smiled softly with tears still brimming her eyes. “Yes, I do, because that’s exactly how happy you’ve made me.”
A few minutes later Savannah got them a blanket and a couple of pillows. She placed them by the big bay window and shut off all the lights in the house making it completely dark. To Billy, it felt like they were sleeping under the stars like they had so many years ago. Those were the times he thought of while he was lying awake on the sand in the deserts of Afghanistan. So many times he prayed he would return home safely so he could have another chance with the woman who had claimed his heart from the moment he saw her. He returned battered and bruised in more ways than one, but his prayers had been answered nonetheless.
Billy didn’t remember falling asleep, but he must have been because he was being shaken awake by Savannah. Her eyes were wide with surprise. “What’s wrong, what happened? Are you okay?” He sat up and tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes and focus in on her.
“Billy you were having a nightmare. You elbowed me in the chest. You were flailing your arms around and screaming.”
He put his face in his hands and then ran his fingers through his dark brown hair. “I’m so sorry. I should’ve told you about my night terrors. I fell asleep so fast. I don’t even remember falling asleep. I felt so comfortable lying next to you. I haven’t felt that peaceful in years. I completely forgot. I’m so sorry baby.”
“Billy, it’s nothing to be ashamed of or to be sorry for. It’s not your fault. Come and lay down. Let’s go back to sleep.”
“No, I need to tell you something.”
Savannah sat up in front of him and crossed her legs. “What is it?”
Billy was contemplating on whether or not to continue. He wanted to get what happened to him off his chest, but he didn’t want to scare her.
“Billy, I’m going to be your wife. You can tell me anything. There is nothing in this world that would ever make me love you less.”
He leaned over and kissed her forehead. He sat back and looked down at his nervous clenching fingers. Then pointed at his face and leg. “When this happened to me our troop was stationed in one of the most heavily mined areas of Afghanistan. We had been moved from the city of Kandahar to the Panjwai district, which was about twenty-five miles away. Extra soldiers were needed to help clear the area of land mines and IED’s.”
“What’s an IED?”
“They’re homemade bombs and can be set off with remote control. They’re mostly made from fertilizer and simple materials that are easy to transport across the border with Pakistan. They were sometimes transported by cars, criminals, even by their own government. On one occasion a man was found delivering IED’s in his truck while delivering fruits and vegetables into town.”
“Oh, okay...sorry. Please go on.”
Billy took a deep breath and couldn’t believe he was actually talking about this anyone much less his future wife. “The Taliban have been known to plant the homemade bombs on dirt roads, vegetable fields, and even in trees. One day our troop was pushing the enemy forces further north. Everyone knew there would be gunfire, and it wouldn’t be an easy job, but we were all feeling confident. That was what we were trained to do. The day went by without a hitch. A few hours before sunset we came to a village where we were setting up camp for the night.”
“I was supposed to keep watch that night. We thought the area had been cleared until I saw there was an abandoned car only a few feet away no one had checked. One of my soldier buddies was within inches of it. He had no idea the car hadn’t been checked. He’s a medic and was doing an inventory of the supplies he had left. In the corner of my eye I could see one of the villagers standing just behind the corner of a home. For an instant we locked gazes. I sensed right away he was up to no good.”
Billy looked up at Savannah and saw her listening intently to him. Hanging on every word he said, so he continued. “I saw him look over at the car and I ran over to my friend Freddy who was standing by it. I pushed him out of the way mere seconds before the bomb blew up. Savannah, I can’t begin to describe the pain. It was awful. I had no idea about the extent of my injuries until I woke up weeks later in the hospital. The doctors put me in a temporary drug induced coma while they repaired my leg and face as best they could. But it was Freddy who saved my life. If it weren’t for his skills and quick thinking I would be dead right now. Now, I have to live like a cripple for the rest of my life. Not only physically, but I can’t even sleep anymore. My mind is filled with disaster and catastrophe. I’ve seen my fellow comrades die right in front of me. Legs blown off, arms blown off. My head is consumed with horrors. My heart is filled with sorrow I can’t get rid of...”
“Billy, don’t you see. You saved Freddy, and I’m sure many other people in the process. It was your skills and quick thinking that helped those around you. I don’t know, nor can I even begin to understand what you have been through, but risking your life every day to save others is the most selfless thing you’ve ever done.”
Savannah moved closer to him and put her hands on his face. “Don’t you think it’s time someone saved you?”
Billy grabbed her face and kissed her roughly. He loved her so much and he desperately needed her to understand where his head could go at times. Knowing she wasn’t horrified of what he looked like or what had happened to him was half the battle. He would have to learn to deal with his demons in order to move on with his life. Now he had someone to help him fight those demons. “Savannah, I love you.”
She smiled at him and spoke softly. “And I love you.”
Chapter Eight
Savannah awoke to the sound of the alarm clock on her phone. She reached over to shut it off so it wouldn’t wake Billy. He’d had tough night and she wanted him to sleep in. The sun was already starting to beam in through the living room window. She leaned over Billy and tried to pull the curtains closed. As she did, her hand slipped off the fabric and she fell on top of him waking him up. “I’m sorry. I was trying to let you sleep in this morning.”
Billy grabbed her, pulling her up onto his chest. “It’s okay. I’m used to getting up early. Guess I was a lot more tired than usual. It felt like heaven being next to you. I stayed up half the night so I could watch you sleep.”
“You watched me sleep? Why?”
“Because you’re beautiful.”
“That’s very sweet. Creepy. But sweet.”
Savannah tried to get up but Billy grabbed her wrists and pulled her back down on top of him. “Where do you think you’re going?”
“Billy! I have to go to work.”
“On a Saturday?”
Savannah nuzzled his neck and kissed him softly, teasing him. “It’s only for a couple of hours. I just have to fill in for one of the other nurses. She won’t have a babysitter until this afternoon. You know what, why don’t you come with me today?”
“I can’t go with you to work. I’ll be in the way.”
She sat on top of him rubbing her bare pussy over his cotton boxers. The thin fabric did nothing to prevent her from feeling the erection he had. She jerked her hips forward and he closed his eyes. Savannah smiled coquettishly enjoying his reaction to her.
“If you keep doing that, you’re going to be late for work.”
“I set the alarm an hour early last night.”
Billy placed his hands over her hips and rocked with her rhythm. “Well, in that case I guess we have an hour to play.” He moved her slightly so that he was able to remove his boxers, but Savannah put her hands over his and stopped him.
“Here let me do that for you.”
“Savannah...”
“Stop, I want to.” She could see that he was a little apprehensive about his leg. Last night, she had been too distracted to notice and it was dark after they’d finished having sex. Now, in the light of day she could see the extent of his injuries. This of course didn’t bother her in the slightest. She had seen similar injuries at the hospital where she worked. It was a common occurrence to have patients with injuries far worse than his. “Shh, just lay back.”
The love she felt for him was far beyond anything physical and she wanted to prove that to him. She was in love with his heart and soul. To her, he was a hero. A man that risked his life to save others, a man she was lucky and grateful to have in her life.
Savannah leaned over him and pressed her lips to his, slightly parting them. She allowed him entrance into her mouth as her tongue danced with his. She rubbed her knee between his legs teasing his hard cock, causing him to suck in a deep breath through gritted teeth. As she continued to kiss him she lowered her hand into the waistband of his shorts and wrapped her hand around him. She slowly ran her hand up and down his length, squeezing lightly. She placed her thumb over his cock and felt a sticky drop already forming at the tip. She used the moisture to slowly glide her fingers around the head, coating it before she gave him what he wanted.
Billy rocked his hips back and forth, using her hand to pleasure himself. Savannah had never been more turned on in her whole life. With his eyes still closed he put his hand over hers and showed her the rhythm that pleased him the most. He placed his hand over hers, tightening her grip around his cock even harder as he moved her hand up and down faster and faster. He opened his eyes and they were glazed over with a passion that she wanted to fulfill.
He pulled her up onto his chest, but she never stopped pumping him. He took possession of her mouth and she gently bit his lower lip in return. He placed mouth over one of her breast and teased her nipple with his tongue as needed kneaded the other perfect globe with his hand.
She moaned against his ear causing his cock to become even more slippery, making it easier for her hand to glide over his hard satin covered skin. He slowly moved his hand south, delving his fingers in and out of her soaking wet pussy faster and faster until beat began to build in her belly. “Mmm Billy more.”
“You’re so fucking wet Savannah. Come for me.”
Her breathing quickened as his fingers worked overtime over her swollen clit. He teased it, then dipped two fingers inside her tight channel. Teasing, delving, teasing some more, and pushing even deeper inside her with every stroke of his fingers until her muscles tightened around his magical digits. Her body spasmed and her head fell onto his shoulder. “Billy!” As she came, her hand stiffened around his hard cock, feeling him harden even more.
“I love hearing you scream my name when you come. But now it’s my turn. Suck my cock Savannah. I want to feel the warmth of your mouth around me. Don’t stop until I come.”
Savannah slowly made her way down his body. She placed hot, open mouth kisses over his stomach before stopping over his cock. She teasingly ran her lips over the tip, gave the head a peck, and continued to move further down. She looked up at him as he stared at her, watching every little move she made. She licked the inside of his left thigh and the sight of her doing that sent Billy into a frenzy of need.
He sat up and fisted his hands in her hair, yanking her head down onto him. He groaned as she finally sucked him in her luscious mouth. “Oh Fuck.” He pulled her head up and down on him while moving his hips to the rhythm he was setting for her. “Fuck.”
But, Savannah wasn’t going to have any of that. She wanted to be the one to please him and she didn’t need any help from him because she had her plans. She placed her hand on his chest and forcefully pushed him back down onto the pillow. “You are being a very bad boy. I think you need to be punished.” She slowly licked the tip of him, teasing him with a flick of her tongue. Every time he tried to put his hands on her head, she put them down at his sides. “Have you had enough? Or shall I continue?” “An Army man never surrenders.”
“Oh well, I guess I’ll have to continue torturing you.” Her tongue glided over him once more before she stroked him from base to tip with her hand.
He sucked in a breath through gritted teeth. “Fuck.”
She stopped to look up at him with a smile. “Surrender, yet?”
He smiled back at her and shook his head. “Hell no.”
Savannah stroked him with her hand again then replaced her hand with her mouth. She sucked him hard and teased him with her tongue. He threw his head back against the pillow before she stopped once more. “How about now?”
He moaned. Through a ragged breath he uttered. “No.”
“You’re a tough guy, aren’t you?” Savannah smiled as she licked a hot trail down his cock then over the inside of his thigh. She gently nipped his skin before licking the same spot again. She made the same trail with her tongue back up and sucked him into her mouth all the way to the base. “Surrender now?”
Billy sat up and grabbed her by her hair, leading her mouth onto his cock. “Yes, I surrender. Now, suck me. I want to fill your mouth with my cum.”
Savannah let him lead her head on to him. She licked and sucked, slurping up every drop of moisture that gathered at the tip. She pulled back a little and looked up at him reveling in the taste of him.
“Oh fuck Savannah. Fuck. Fuck. Oh God Fuck. Suck harder. Faster.”
Savannah put her hand around him tightly and stroked him. Hard and fast just like he asked her to until he said those words she wanted to hear.
“I’m gonna come. Fuck yes. Just like that baby. Fuck, just like that.”
His hands wound in her hair, pulling her scalp taught, sending tiny pin pricks of pain to travel down the base of her neck. She knew he was close and wanted to taste more of him.
She placed her mouth over his hard cock and sucked him. She tightened her lips around him and moved her head up and down to the rhythm of his hips.
“Fuck, I’m coming. Fuck!”
She felt his warm cum hit her tongue then slide to the back of her throat before she swallowed. She had never tasted anything so delicious in her life. The feel of him inside her mouth giving her all he had was enough to send her over the edge as well. She kept her mouth on him, draining every last drop until his very last shudder had subsided.
He peered down at her through passion clouded eyes and took her face in his hands. He kissed her hard. “Damn, are you sure you weren’t in the military? Your torture strategy and tactics could bring any man to his knees and offer a full confession.” He moved his hand slowly down her flat stomach to her wet pussy and she was still dripping from her release. He rubbed her with his whole hand back and forth making her want more already. “You’re so wet.”
“Billy, I’m going to be late.”
“Not if I can make you come fast.”
She smiled. “How do you plan on doing that?”
Billy shoved two fingers inside her and plunged in and out, hard and fast. He played with her swollen nub with his thumb at the same time and leaned her back into his other arm.
She could feel her release so close already. She placed her hand over his. “Yes Billy, more!”
He lifted his hand to his mouth and licked the sweet taste of her off his fingers, then placed them back inside of her. “Mmm, you taste so fucking good.”
Seeing him do that sent Her careening into a sea of bliss. She came hard and fast. Her body quivered, sending tingles from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. “That was amazing.”
He looked down at her. “Yes, it was.”
Savannah sat up reluctantly. “Well, I guess I should get ready now.”
“Yeah, you don’t want to be late for work.”
“Billy, please come with me.”
“I thought we already did that.”
“Ha ha very funny. I’m serious.”
Billy sighed heavily. “Okay, if it means that much to you.”
“It does.”
“Okay, I’ll go.”
Savannah took a shower while Billy washed up in the guest bathroom. Billy had suggested they take a shower together, but she declined. She knew if they took a shower together she would never make it to work on time.
As she got out of the shower, her phone rang in the bedroom. She quickly walked over to the bed to see who it was. She looked at the caller ID. Travis. Guilt suddenly washed over her. Although she didn’t love him, she knew how much he loved her and she felt awful at that moment for being with Billy when she shouldn’t. After all, it was her life and she didn’t have to explain herself to anyone. This was what she always wanted and that moment was finally here. Still, her devotion to Travis was eating at her inside. She felt like she owed him so much because he was always there for her. Now, she was letting him down. She pushed the speaker button. “Travis?”
A few seconds passed before he answered. “Hi, Savannah have you seen Billy? He didn’t come home last night and I’m a little worried. He left pretty angry.”
