Letters to Her Soldier

by Hazel Gower

  Taking deep calming breaths, he looked around the room, searching for a condom. He found two on the side table. He grabbed one, ripped the top, and slid it on. He knew if he didn’t put it on now, with the way Bianca made him feel, he’d forget. Her hands circled his cock and helped him guide the rubber down.

  She ran her hands back up over his chest, groaning, “It’s harder than I thought. It’s so tight and toned. ” She arched on the bed, and his patience waned.

  Caleb needed to taste more of her. Her bare pussy called to him, begging for attention. He dove for it as she arched up again. He lapped at her clit, sucking it in before slowly releasing it and blowing on it.

  Moaning, he felt her shiver against his face. He stuck his tongue in her mimicking the action he’d soon be doing to her. Her hand came to rest on his head, and she gripped his hair as he picked up his pace, licking and pulling on her nub.

  Her body stiffened and she yelled his name as he moved a finger into her core, helping to push her over the edge.

  He felt like he could burst himself without even being in her. With the taste of her on his tongue, he kissed and nibbled his way up her body until he stared down at the goddess in front of him. “This time I want to see your face as you come around me. ”

  Bianca grinned up at him with a satisfied look. She reached down and squeezed his ass, smirking when he groaned.

  “I feel empty. I need you. ”

  Bianca didn’t have to ask twice. He lined his cock up to her opening and eased in, savoring the tight warmth around him.

  He kept his speed steady and easy at first. Bianca held his ass and squeezed every time he went all the way into her. Resting his head on her shoulder, as he couldn’t handle looking at the pure ecstasy on her face anymore, he kissed his way up her neck and gave gentle nips to her ears, which drove her crazy.

  He slowly built up his speed as his body came alive and sensitive to touch. He sat up so the friction didn’t bring him over the edge too early.

  Caleb could feel the building need getting ready to explode. He told himself not to go before Bianca, to hold back, but his body picked up speed, and she sighed and groaned at every thrust.

  He went through everything bad he could think of to stop himself from coming too early. Torture, the wounds he got, the hard missions that left him aching for days. Nothing seemed to work.

  As he pumped into her, she screamed his name, and he saw her eyes light up and her back arch as her core clamped around him. Caleb couldn’t hold back any longer. He slammed into her, holding her waist, and emptied himself into the condom.

  He hovered above her, trying not to fall on her, and carefully moved them to the side. Bianca cuddled into him. Caleb pulled her tightly to him and kissed her before easing off the bed. He disposed of the protection before moving her back so she almost lay on him cuddling.

  She hummed against his chest before she kissed it. “Mmm, I didn’t know it could be like that.

  “Like what?”

  “I didn’t know you could make me come without my help or me telling you what to do. Let alone make me come twice. ”

  He chuckled and kissed her head. “Oh, beautiful, that’s just the beginning. ”

  Chapter Two

  Bianca awoke aching all over. It’s a good ache, she told herself as she snuggled into the hard body she lay on. Caleb’s arms tightened around her, and he kissed her head.

  “Morning, beautiful. I want to stay in bed with you all day, but I’ve organized something for us this afternoon, and I was hoping this morning we could go car shopping. ”

  “Confident, were you? How’d you know I didn’t have something planned last night?”

  He paused in drawing circles on her back and pulled her up to straddle him. “Nothing gets by me. I see all and know all. ”

  Bianca laughed. “Oh really, Mr. Know-it-all? I could have had some hot date last night or organized to go out with some of my university friends clubbing. ”

  He drew her down to him and whispered, “You didn’t have anything planned for last night. I know for a fact you weren’t even planning on coming to my birthday-slash-welcome-home party this coming weekend. ”

  He nibbled on her ear, and she shivered at the tingling sensation. “I was going to come. Greta said I had no choice. She would physically drag me there if I didn’t, and your mum wanted my help with food. ”

  He ran his hands down her back to cup her ass. “Guess what, beautiful? You’re going on Saturday night, even if I have to tie you to me. ” He eased them to the end of the bed and stood, holding her to him as he walked to the bathroom. “Let’s shower, and it shouldn’t take me long to choose a car. I know what I want. I’ve always been a guy who’s sure of what he wants. ”

  She groaned as he sat her on the bathroom counter, turned the taps on, grabbed her, and pinned her to the shower wall.

  Caleb drove his bargain demo model truck to the surprise he had planned for Bianca and hoped everything went right. In the letters she’d sent him, Bianca told him about finishing year twelve and doing a baker’s apprenticeship at the university that went with it. Bianca opened up to him in her letters. She told him what she felt about her week, her parents fighting, even things about how she hated the new baker’s assistant, or she would simply tell him a recipe.

  In one letter toward the end of the first year she started to write to him, Bianca had been upset that no one had asked her to the end-of-year formal. She’d said just once she wanted to go to a party and end up at the lookout making out. He hadn’t been sure how he felt about that letter until he got the next letter telling him she’d been to the lookout, and it wasn’t as good as everyone said. He didn’t need more details. Caleb knew what had happened, and it was then, in that letter, that he realized he was falling for Bianca, and he didn’t like that someone else had done what he’d wanted to do. He slowed as they turned down the lookout road.

  “Why are we here?” Bianca had a panicked look in her eyes.

  “Surprise. ”

  “I don’t like surprises. ”

  “I promise you’ll like this one. ”

  Bianca nodded, and he drove down the winding road and pulled to stop. She turned to glare at him. “Why the hell is Greta’s car here?”

  He got out of the car grinning at her. She followed and grabbed his hand, and he pulled her along the walking track.

  “What’s going on, Caleb? What have you and Greta done?”

  Lifting her hand, he kissed it before he picked her up by the waist and walked down the rest of the path. She squealed and wrapped her legs and arms around him.

  “Put me down. You’ll hurt yourself. ”

  Caleb moved his hands down to cup her full, round ass and squeezed. “You don’t weigh much. ”

  “Ha! Pfft! What a load of crap. Can you tell me what’s going on yet?”

  “Soon, almost there. ”

  Bianca groaned and buried her face in his shoulder.

  Up ahead he saw his sister putting the finishing touches on the surprise. Greta walked toward them, and Bianca’s head came up as Greta placed a small box in his hand as she walked by. Caleb put the item straight into his pocket.

  “Hey, Greta, where are you going?” Bianca yelled and tried to get down.

  He held her tighter to him as he reached their destination and placed her down on the blanket. She looked startled for a moment, and then her eyes widened at the scene around her.

  A large blanket lay on the ground, a bottle of wine sat in a bucket of ice, a bunch of peach, yellow, and white lilies were arranged in flower box, and chocolate strawberries sat on a plate.

  “Oh my God. You did this for me?”

  He watched as a tear slid down her cheek. Caleb sat beside her and wiped the tear away. “You said you wanted to make out at the lookout. ” He pulled her onto him so she straddled him. Her skirt hiked up her thighs, giving him a glimpse of the lacy undies she had on. “I thought I’d prove how much fun it can be. ”<

  He captured her mouth with his, and his hands moved under her singlet top to caress her lace-covered nipples. She arched into his touch as her hands found the bottom of his shirt and yanked it up. They moved apart, panting, and he pulled his shirt off.

  “I can’t believe you remember that letter I wrote to you five years ago. I don’t know if I should be embarrassed, grateful, or just honored that you’ve done this for me. ”

  Caleb wondered if he should tell her he’d kept all her letters, read them a lot more than once, and this little picnic had been planned for years.

  “Of course I remember that letter. You were so upset. You sounded devastated it wasn’t what everyone told you it would be like. ”

  She sighed and rested her head against his chest. “You must have thought I was the most selfish person. Writing a letter to someone in Afghanistan whose biggest thing is trying to stay alive, and here I am complaining about how my first sexual experience sucked. ”

  Lifting her face up, he brushed his lips against hers. “That’s not at all what I thought. Besides wanting to kill the guy who did that to you, it was a nice to hear about problems other than my own, no matter how big or small they were. I thought today we could make new memories here. ”

  ****

  Bianca stared up into his eyes and couldn’t get over how lucky she was. “Wow. I think I’m the luckiest woman in the world. ”

  Not caring about the food or wine, she crawled onto his lap. “Thank you for doing this for me. ” She winked at him. “Do you want to show me how you’re going to turn this place into a better experience than my last?”

  Caleb growled, nipped at her lips, and kissed the sting away. “It will be my pleasure. ”

  He sat up, pulled his pants down, and yanked a condom out of his pocket. She stood, slid out of her undies, and watched his wicked grin.

  “Come here. ” His finger beckoned her.

  She sat back down on him. He moved her so she lay on the blanket, and he hovered over her. Caleb took the straps off her shoulders and smoothed them down, exposing her breasts to the cool afternoon breeze. He caressed her body and rubbed himself against her.

  Bianca wrapped her legs around Caleb and held him tight. He leaned down and sucked one of her nipples into his mouth before moving to the other.

  His hands trailed down her body before resting on her pussy. His finger parted her folds to explore before he sank a finger into her core and pumped it in and out, teasing her to a fevered state. “More. Give me more. I need to come. ” She panted. He added another finger and moved them faster.

  Caleb pulled his fingers out just as she felt like she was about to explode. “Hold it. I want you to come with me. ”

  He lined up his cock and slammed into her. Bianca screamed as her already sensitive muscles pulsed. She held back, wanting to come with him. Caleb tightened his hold on her, and she ran her hands up and down his back in time with his thrusts.

  Biting her tongue to stop herself from coming, she went into a frenzy, helping Caleb drive into her and squeezing his ass cheeks together.

  She felt his fingers rim her ass and then gather some of her juices before coming back and slowly pushing against her back entrance. That was all it took. She couldn’t hold back anymore, and she exploded, coming harder than she ever had. Yelling, she scratched her nails down his back as the euphoric feeling settled over her. He snarled his release before collapsing on top of her and kissing her.

  “Did that help make this a better spot?”

  She giggled and savored the feeling of Caleb against her.

  She knew they couldn’t lie there any longer without getting caught by someone. Bianca hugged Caleb tightly before she let her arms fall. He kissed her gently, got up to dispose of the condom, and searched for his pants before slipping into them. She watched as he reached inside his pocket.

  Filled with happiness, Bianca smiled up at him. She felt so lucky.

  Then he got down on one knee before her, pulled out a small box, and opened it to reveal an elegant diamond ring. “Bianca Gardiner, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”

  She stared in shock at Caleb. He was asking her to marry him. It was a dream come true, but as much as she wanted to say yes, she couldn’t. Caleb hadn’t even been back twenty-four hours. Surely he didn’t know what he wanted after spending one night with her. She wasn’t that good.

  “It’s my grandmother’s ring. If you don’t like it, we can choose another. ”

  Bianca pulled her single t top back in place and fixed her skirt. She studied Caleb who knelt before her. “No. It’s stunning. It’s just, um…”She was freaking out. “I’m sorry. I have to go. ” Without bothering with her shoes, she grabbed his keys and ran.

  Bianca couldn’t get over how fast everything was happening. She’d heard people say that military men moved fast, and boy, were they right. The man she’d had a crush on since she was little had just given her a dream proposal. He’d even been on his knees.

  She had no idea what came over her. Bianca ran past Greta, who sat in her car listening to music. She opened the door, put the key in the ignition, and sped away.

  It wasn’t until she was almost home that it really hit her what she’d done. She’d left the man she loved on his knees after making love to him at the lookout. Oh no. What had she done?

  Bianca pulled the car over to the side of the road, feeling physically ill. She rested her head on the steering wheel. “I’m such and idiot. Why the hell did I run?”

  When her parents bought her a car for her eighteenth birthday, she’d been so excited, and she and Greta had gone out to celebrate. She remembered coming back after going to the beach and taking silly pictures. One was of her in her bikini sprawled on her car. Bianca thought it was probably the only photo ever taken of her in a bikini.

  A couple of weeks or a month or so later, Greta told her Caleb was getting down, and he needed some letters. Greta had told Caleb Bianca would send him one. It had taken her days to write that first letter. She went through a whole notepad before she just sent what she had. Bianca had been shocked when she’d received a reply from Caleb thanking her for writing to him and asking her to keep the letters coming. She’d then written him one every week and told him things she didn’t even tell Greta. It was kinda like confession each week.

  “Shit. ”He knew almost every dirty, dark secret of hers. Bianca never thought she would really see him again, and when he did finally decide to settle down, it wouldn’t be with her. She would be married to someone and have a family of her own, be in love with someone else, by the time he was ready to settle down. That’s what she told herself anyway.

  Caleb had just stuffed up all her plans. She never thought she’d have him to even consider into any equation.

  Fuck! She hoped she hadn’t lost her chance.

  Sitting up, she looked at the road, got back on it, and did a U-turn before speeding back to the lookout, praying Caleb hadn’t left. The closer she got, the more scared she became. When she came to the winding road to the lookout, she slowed, drove up, and parked in the same spot, sighing in relief when Greta’s car was still there.

  After closing her eyes for a moment to calm herself, she got out of the car and walked quickly back to the spot where they’d made love.

  Chapter Three

  Caleb had watched as Bianca apologized and ran. He didn’t know what he should do. What was he supposed to do? Did he go after her and beg her to say yes? Or did he let her leave and give up what he knew would be the best thing in his life?

  He sat thinking everything over, replaying the scene in his head trying to figure out if he’d done anything wrong. He heard footsteps and sticks cracking as his sister Gwen came over to stare down at him.

  “What happened? Why did Bianca just run out of here like the hounds of hell were nipping at her feet?

  He shrugged and sat back on his bum. “I asked her to marry me. She apologized and ran. ”

  Gwen’s eyes narrow
ed on him. “What exactly did you say?”

  “‘Bianca, will you do the honor of marring me?’ I was even on my knees. ”

  His sister looked at the blanket before she sat down. “Did you tell her you love her?”

  He groaned and shook his head.

  “God, I can’t believe I’m about to have this conversation with you over my best friend. I’m happy to help you two get together, but any other info about you two…” She gave a dramatic shiver. “Anyway, I wasn’t happy when you told me the last time you came home that you’d fallen in love with her, thanks to her letters. She’s my best friend. It grossed me out at first, and annoyed me, because, if you got together there’s a lot I couldn’t talk to her about, like sexual things, moves, or when she buys some nice sexy underwear, I won’t be able to tease her as I’ll know who she bought it for, and that’s just stuff I don’t even want think of. ”

  He grinned as a picture of Bianca in a lacy bra and panty set came to mind.

  Greta groaned and pointed to his face. “Yuck! See. ” She shivered again. “Now I’ll know when you pull faces like that one you have on now who you’re thinking about, and I really don’t want to imagine stuff like that. ” She grimaced and shook her head. “I should have picked up on it sooner now I think about it, like when she dated the fuckwit, and you wanted to know everything about him, begged me to tell you his name. It’s probably why I never did tell you much. I even knew you were stalking her. But you never did anything about it. ” She scrubbed her hands over her face. “Look, I love Bianca, but she has some huge self-esteem issues thanks to her mother, sister, and that fuckwit Daniel she dated for two and half years. ”

  “That his name? Bianca never told me his name and neither would you. She didn’t even talk about him much. She does keep mentioning she’s thinks she too fat for me to carry her, and when we had sex, she wouldn’t let me near her stomach. ”
