Soldier Boy

by Megan Slayer

  He closed his eyes and measured his breaths. He needed to center and regain his focus. In a matter of a couple hours, she’d managed to turn his world upside down. She was right, though. He did need to be himself. He’d tried to be what the other women in his life wanted and hadn’t been happy.

  He deserved to be himself and get the girl. Was Vada the girl for him? Too soon to tell, but he wasn’t going to push her away. He didn’t believe in love at first sight, but he did trust fate to intervene when he needed a kick. Maybe Vada was that kick to jumpstart his life. He definitely wanted to see where things would go after the night. She made him laugh, think and want to fuck so much.

  “You’re thinking again. About what?” Vada asked.

  “Help me find myself.” Charlie opened his eyes and drank in the sight of Vada. Her curves shimmered in the moonlight. “Help me embrace what I want. I’m very attracted to you.”

  “Good thing I brought you up here to fuck.” She winked. “You’re the man I want, Charlie. Just you.”

  “All you’ve got to do is take me.”

  He’d been bold. Order, rules and passion… He needed all those things and he believed he’d found a start with Vada. She turned him around and nudged him onto the bed. Moonlight streamed into the space, illuminating the walls in soft white light. The glow glimmered on her hair, giving her the look of a halo.

  He’d bet she was far from angelic, and that’s how he’d come to like her—she kept him on his toes…kind of. Vada unbuckled his belt, then popped the button on his pants. She wrapped her hand around his erection through the cotton of his boxer shorts and stroked him.

  He groaned and thanked God the music on the first floor was loud enough to drown out his noises.

  “Like that?” Vada crawled on top of him, straddling his lap. She leaned over him. “I want to feel you inside me. You don’t disappoint.”

  He didn’t? He’d been fairly content with his length, but to have his partner tell him she liked what he had made his day.

  “We need a rubber.” Charlie patted his hip for his wallet. He’d kept a condom in his billfold just in case he ever needed it. He’d only had to replace the rubber twice and wondered if the thing would even be good any longer. Fucking balls. Why was he worrying about the condom when he could be buried to the hilt in Vada? Because he overthought most everything.

  “Stop worrying.” Vada reached past him and dug through the drawer of the nightstand. “I’m always prepared.” She kept her gaze on his as she tore the condom wrapper open, then slid the latex over his dick.

  He moaned. A few more tugs and he’d come apart. Damn it. He wanted to last longer than that.

  “Eager?” Vada hiked her dress up past her hips, revealing more and more of her mocha skin.

  He’d never seen anything so sexy in his life. He reached for her.

  “Not so fast, soldier boy.” She moved her panties to the side, then rubbed her cream on his dick. “You’re as hot as I am.”

  He’d burst into flames in a few moments if she didn’t allow him to sink into her pussy. He grasped her hips and seated her on his cock. Inch by inch, he filled her and groaned at the pressure.

  “So tight,” he mumbled. “God, you’re holding me in.”

  Vada leaned forward and clutched his shoulders. With each thrust, she rocked forward and her breasts threatened to pop free of the sparkly dress. He longed to grab the straps of the gown and tear the fabric to reveal the rest of her, but he held back. She tilted her head back and dug her fingers into his shoulders. Her breaths turned ragged and she shook her head again.

  “I’m right on the edge,” she panted. “Wow.”

  “Me, too.” He planted his feet on the bed frame for better leverage and rocked his hips. Each time he surged into her, he barreled closer to orgasm. The heat in his body centered in his belly. He couldn’t think. Nothing existed except them. No Halloween party or dancers or even the music. Just her.

  “Harder,” she gasped.

  Charlie obliged. He held her tight to his body, then turned them both over, which pinned her beneath him. He braced his knees on the mattress and draped her legs over his thighs. Not that he could look away, but he stared into her dark eyes. For a moment the world seemed to slow down. He surged forward and buried himself to the hilt in her. When she opened her mouth, no sound came out. She closed her eyes.

  “Come for me,” he coaxed. “You’re blowing my mind.”

  She didn’t say a word, but a lazy smile curled her lips. Vada shivered. Her cunt tightened around him, pulling him in deeper. The pressure broke his restraint. He gritted his teeth and shot his load into the condom. A low groan escaped his lips as he collapsed on her.

  “Charlie,” she breathed. “Wow.”

  “Yeah,” he said, dazed. The room spun, and he fought to catch his breath. She’d overwhelmed him in a great way. Instead of pulling out or rolling onto his side, he remained inside her and basked in the wobbly, warm sensations. He rested his weight on his hands and knees to keep from squishing her.

  Vada seemed to glow. She looked happy and sexy. He’d been a lucky man to have found her.

  “This is sexy as hell, but you’ve got to get off me.” Vada opened her eyes. “I need to breathe.”

  “Sorry.” Charlie pulled out of her and tossed the spent condom into the closest trash bin. He wasn’t sure what to say or do. He stuffed his deflating erection back into his boxers and pants, then sat on the edge of the bed.

  “Charlie, don’t go. Lay with me.”

  “Did I scare you off already?” Vada righted her panties, then her dress and stretched out on the bed. She didn’t want Charlie to leave. Although she hated to admit the truth, she’d formed emotional attachments to him. He accepted her blunt and her bold. Would he still accept her now that they’d fucked?

  “No. I’m not scared.” Charlie lay beside her on the mattress. “I’m new at this, that’s all.”

  “Oh?” She rolled onto her side and smoothed the skirt of her tattered dress down her hips. “Which are you new at? Having sex? Halloween?” Guys hadn’t been honest with her on quite this level before, and his style both shocked and pleased her. When he spoke, she trusted him. Truth be told, she trusted him more than she wanted to admit.

  “I’ve celebrated Halloween plenty of times.” He folded his arms behind his head. “I meant what we did. I’m no virgin, but I’m not… I haven’t done this tons of times.” He closed his eyes and frowned. “That sounded douchey.”

  “No.” She understood him a little better. His confidence resided somewhere in the basement, and she wanted to help him see how handsome and wonderful he truly was because she’d been in his position. For the last three years, she’d doubted her worth. The party had been an excuse to shed her self-doubting skin and have fun.

  Charlie had been more than fun.

  She tipped his chin, forcing him to look her in the eye. “Sounds like this is the perfect holiday for us to meet. Halloween isn’t all about the costumes and scaring the shit out of each other. It’s really about rebirth. You said you liked me as I am. This is my chance to be myself. It’s also the chance for you to figure yourself out and be that man.” She’d sounded preachy, but she didn’t care. She wanted to help build Charlie up.

  “Think so?” His blue eyes sparkled.

  “Sure do, soldier boy.” She tugged at the front of his uniform and twined their legs together. “Next time I want to see all of you—not just your dick. I have to admit, it’s a sexy cock. Felt good inside me.”

  “Yeah?” he asked. His voice came out gravelly, and the sound vibrated up and down her spine. He palmed her backside. “I’d like us to have a next time, too.”

  “Then let’s set a date for an actual date—no costumes involved.”

  Charlie grinned, showing off his dazzling smile and the dimple on his left cheek. “I don’t know. I’m rather fond of this dress.” He patted her ass. “Happy Halloween, Vada. Here’s to
a new year and new us.”

  Vada kissed him hard on the mouth. “Cheers.”

  Soon she’d have to thank Maya for having the party and Levi for conning Charlie into attending, but those would have to wait until after she and Charlie made love again. She couldn’t get enough of the soldier boy. Never enough.
