Chapter 16 Laying It All Bare
Opening up takes a great deal of courage. Prying open your rib cage and letting everything out that is locked away hidden in your heart.
Ana has been in my life for a week. When I knew I was coming home, I thought I would come and lay in my own pool of misery. I never imagined I would meet her and that she would steal the thing that I thought was damaged the most, my heart.
I am so in love with this woman that I cannot see myself living without her. There are things that I still have to tell her, but I think it is time to close the closet; enough skeletons have escaped through these doors
“So out with it, soldier, what do you want to tell me?”
“Argh, it is nothing important, boo.”
“Mmm, are you keeping secrets from me, soldier?”
“I just wanted to tell you how crazy I am about you.”
“That is one of the oldest ones in the book. Why don’t you try that again?”
“I am crazy about you, boo.”
“Not even close to believing you, soldier.”
“And if I say that I am crazy in love with you?”
“I’d say you are getting a bit warmer.”
“And head over foot crazy in love with you?”
“You are getting there but not hot enough yet, soldier.”
“I think I am badly madly in love with you, boo.”
“You only think so?”
“Dammit, boo. How must I spell it out for you? I. Am. In. Love. With. You.”
“I think you might have just got yourself on the hot side there.”
My fingers grasp hold of her hand, and I pull her closer to me, “Come here, boo.”
I slip my hands around her waist and pull her body into mine. My cold cheek rub against her face as my lips softly whisper into her ear, “I want you.”
“That ain’t happening, soldier.”
“But why not boo.”
“Soldier, there is no way. Can you imagine what is going through your mom and Maggie’s head?”
“Fuck boo; now I am never going to want it again. A man can live with his mother thinking shit but not that eagerly frustrated old lady.”
“Aaahhh fuck, soldier, that is sick.”
“Carry on shouting like that, and they are definitely going to think we are doing it.”
“Hahaha, don’t tempt me.”
“Why don’t you rather keep that mouth quiet and kiss me?”
She locks her hands around my neck and guides my lips down to meet hers. Her kiss obliterates every thought. All the worries of the day evaporate like a cool summer shower onto a hot tar road. My only desire now is to touch her and to move my hands over every curve of her body.
She laces her fingers around my buckle, slowly undoing my belt. Sliding her hands inside my now loose pants, she takes my ass firmly in her hands.
“Boo, what are you doing? I thought you did not want to do it with everyone in the house?”
“Don’t get too excited there, soldier; I am only helping you get undressed.”
“You know that you are going to do more than just undress me?”
“Oh, you bet I am; I can already feel it.”
“Boo, I won’t be loud; come on, the door is locked.”
“Mmm, you are making a good point.”
“Which point are you referring to?”
“Hahaha, that is a terrible soldier.”
“Boo, you not supposed to laugh when I talk dirty.”
“Oh, is that what you called that?”
She slips my pants over my ass and lets them drop to the floor. God, she is driving me nuts; I think she is almost doing it on purpose.
“What about we play a game of tit for tat. I do something, and you do it better in return.”
“Mmm, I can already see that I am going to lose the game. But I will bite. Who goes first?”
“I am at an advantage, so you must go first.”
“Why do I think I have been tricked here?”
“Boo, I will never trick you.”
“Says him with a smirk on his face. What are you up to, soldier?”
I bite at my bottom lip and start sliding arm by arm out of my jacket. I toss it to the armchair standing in the corner.
“Sneaky soldier. You think you are going to get me to take my clothes off?”
“Technically yes, come on boo, you said you are going to bite, now bite and take that top off.”
“Hahaha, you think you are really clever.”
I watch her as she scrunches her fingers in the seams of her top and pulls it off over her head. Her loose locks of hair fall down and cover her naked breasts.
“Mmm, I forgot you were not wearing a bra. God, I need to touch you.” I step towards her.
“Oh no, you don’t.”
“But boo.”
“No, but boo. Why are you still wearing that shirt? Take it off, soldier. I want to see those tight muscles of yours.”
Grabbing my shirt from the back of my neck, I pull it over and chuck it to the pile next to hers. I can see the lust and desire flickering in her eyes.
“God, I will never get tired of seeing those. You make a girl feel things in places she shouldn’t feel.”
She drags her fingers over every edge of my sculpted chest. The sensation of her touch against my bare skin sends a warmth of electricity throughout my body. Just one single touch from her hands and it sends me raging.
“How about you lose those pants, boo? I think they look far better on the floor.”
“Are you seriously going to get me to strip it all down for you, soldier?”
“Yes, every bit, I want to see your gorgeous body standing in front of me naked.”
She hesitates for a few seconds, then she takes the band of her pants and slowly starts moving them over her waist, taking them painfully long over her thighs then pushing them down her long legs before stepping completely out of them. That warmth is now consuming me as I look at her standing there bare in front of me. God, she is beautiful.
“Mmm, you don’t have panties on either.”
“And you still have one piece of bit to take off.”
“Why don’t you come and help me take it off?”
“You are cheating, soldier.”
“But it feels so much better when you do it.”
“You just want me close so you can get your hands on me.”
“Boo, I am getting my hands on you no matter if you are here or there.”
She steps forward with a big smile on her face. She slides her fingers into the front of my underwear, seemingly innocently playing with the elastic between her fingers. She knows exactly what she is doing, she is teasing me to absolute torture, and she is enjoying every minute of it. Every time she slides her finger inside, I catch my breath; I swear it feels like I stop breathing.
“You can’t do that to a man, boo.”
“Ssshhh, soldier.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Unable to stand the frustration building up in me, I grab my underwear from her teasing fingers and pull them off my legs. It catches her completely by surprise, and she gasps
“Oh, my fuck soldier. That is… I mean… I guess now the game is over?”
“I have another game I want to play.”
“Oh, really, and what would that be?”
“I will have to show you.”
“Mmm, I don’t know so much about that one.”
“Ssshhh, it’s your turn to keep quiet.”
I take her hair and pull it away from her neck, gently placing soft sensual kisses down her bare skin. I watch as she closes her eyes, and I hear her moan deep under her breath.
“Mmm, soldier.”
“Oh my god, boo, the things I want to do to you right now.”
I easily lift her off her feet and carry her toward the bed. She falls with a soft bounce onto the mattress.
“What are you doing, soldier?”
“You will see.”
I slide my hands up her slender waist, and she arches her body into mine. She moves her hands around my neck and strokes her fingers through my thick hair. The way she is moving underneath me is making my body react in ways that I only want to show her.
“If you keep on moving like that, then you going to get yourself in a whole ocean of trouble.”
“Soldier, I am already in it; I might as well swim.”
Our lips move closer, and they touch. The kiss is a gentle brush of lips but soon turns into a smooth dance of caressing tongues. She tastes like a sweet red wine; I can sip at her lips until I get drunk.
My hands roam over her body; I can hear her body moan at the power that my touch has on her skin. She runs her palms down my stomach to my back and slowly pulls me in even closer. All sense of control has left my body; I am going to take her until she becomes mine.
“Boo, I am going to make you mine.”
“Then take me, soldier.”
I slip my hands between her warm thighs, trailing my hard length through her wetness and finding her entrance. I slowly push down and slide my throbbing head in.
“Oh god, Ethan!”
She clenches the sheets between her fingers and raises her hips slightly to further drive me inside. Slowly I move against her. My chin rests on her shoulder as my hips keep driving deep and hard.
I slip out a moan and whisper into her ear. “Fuck boo, you are driving me crazy.”
Our bodies are moving purposefully into and against each other. I can feel the emotion pulsing between us, and I am no longer able to contain myself.
“Boo, I don’t think I can control myself any longer.”
She lets out a deep moan which only fuels my desire. “Mmm, soldier.”
With each sensual stroke, I start speeding up my pace. I keep driving deep and hard; our bodies feel like they are bound together and melting into one.
“Fuck boo; I can’t…”
The hot waves of pleasure start building deep in my body, turning my limbs to jelly and my mind to mush. She throws her head back, and her body trembles. My heart stops, and my body burns as all my control crumbles.
Just as I am about to come down from my high and drop down next to her on the bed, there is a knock on the door.
“Somebody better be dead or dying.”
“Sorry, bro.”
“What’s wrong, Matty?”
“There is someone here to see you.”
I look at Ana, confused. “Who?”
“He says his name is Ray.”
“Ray Evans?”
“Fuck I will be there now.”
I jump off the bed and get dressed. Ana looks at me while I frantically look for my clothes. “Who is Ray Evans?”
“He is my platoon leader.”
“What is your platoon leader doing here?”
“I don’t know, but I am about to find out.”
