Soldiers in Heat: Training Session (9 page)

“
Man, I’m exhausted.”

“
You and everyone else. That march
was a beast.”

Jonathan and Kang waited for the seats in
front of them to clear out before piling out behind them. They
grabbed their gear off the truck and headed to the formation area.
He stood in a daze along with the other candidates as the Company
Commander addressed them.

“
Great job, for the most part. We
have a few No Go’s, but with any class, that’s to be expected. For
those of you who made it, you’ll be given a pass. Those who didn’t,
you’ll be on details the remainder of the weekend. Go get showered
up and enjoy yourself.”

At dismissal, they all headed into the
building. He sent Kimberly a text message and headed to the
showers. He couldn’t wait to be next to her instead of in the room
full of naked, musty men.

The plan was to meet up with her at the same
hotel. Things would be much easier now that they were allowed to
wear their civilian clothes on the weekend and stay out overnight.
He lathered up and rinsed off as fast as he could.

Kimberly passed him in the hallway. She gave
him a wink and a smile. With less females, she had a shorter wait
time for the showers. She was already dressed and on her way to the
hotel.

“
What’s your plan?” Kang asked
when Jonathan entered the room.

“
Rest and relaxation.”

“
I bet. I think I’ll find the
mall.”

Jonathan packed his bag as he said, “The last
thing I want to do is any more walking.”

“
That’s because you’re
old.”

They laughed. Jonathan was only a day
older than Kang.

Chapter
Fifteen

Kimberly arrived at the hotel and took a seat
in the lobby. She couldn’t stop smiling. Jonathan insisted on her
staying in his room so she waited for him.

“
Hey, Woodson. What are you doing
here?”

Harvey stood in front of her, blocking her
view of CNN on the TV.

“
Same as you I assume. I’m
relaxing,” she said.

“
You look really nice in your
civilian clothes. I almost didn’t recognize you with your hair
down.”

She wore a khaki dress with wedge heels. “You
don’t look so bad yourself.”

He had on a polo shirt and jeans. He sat in
the lounge chair next to hers. “I wanted to apologize and thank you
again for the other day. You’re right. I need to focus on doing
things the OCS way. Things will go a lot smoother for
me.”

“
Not a problem. We’re all trying
to get through this…” Her voice trailed off when she saw a familiar
black, bald man walking in her direction. Her heart sank to the pit
of her stomach.

“
So this is why you can’t answer
my calls?” Charles asked. He was fuming.

“
How…what are you doing here?” she
said.

“
You two know each other?” Harvey
said, standing.

“
Who the hell are you and what the
hell are you doing with my wife?” Charles got up in his face. He
puffed his chest out and bumped against Harvey. Jealousy oozed out
his pours. He shoved Harvey.

Kimberly grabbed Charles’ arm and pulled him
back. “Stop it. Are you crazy?”

“
Wife? Woodson, I didn’t know you
were married.” The bravado Harvey displayed during training left
him. .

“
Why would anyone? She’s obviously
not wearing her ring.” He pointed to her hand.

“
Harvey, stay out of it.” She’d
never seen Charles this upset.

“
Yeah, Harvey, stay the hell out
of it,” Charles snapped. “For someone who doesn’t have any time for
her husband, you sure have time to whore around.”

She spoke through gritted teeth. “You need to
leave.”

“
Am I interrupting you?” Charles
asked. “Now I know why you wouldn’t come home and work on
us.”

She put her hand on her hip. “You’re
delusional. I didn’t come home because of
you
. We’re
separated. I can do as I please.”

“
Look I don’t know what’s going on
but there’s nothing going on with me and your wife. We’re just
friends,” Harvey said.

Charles shot Harvey the death stare. His
actions were those of wild bear. Kimberly thought he was sizing up
his next meal. She stepped in-between them.

“
Friends? Yeah, right. You happen
to be at the same hotel sitting all cozy in the lobby.”

His fist was balled. Kimberly grabbed his
arm.

“
Sir, we’re going to have to ask
you to leave unless you’re getting a room,” the hotel manager
said.

Charles stopped in his tracks. “I’ll leave,
but, Kimberly, you better believe this is far from
over.”

Kimberly watched in shock while Charles
stormed out the hotel. She sank in the chair.

“
You okay?” Harvey
asked.

She ignored him, walked over to the lobby, and
got her own room. After checking in, she headed up to her room and
called Jonathan.

“
Hey, babe,” he said
answering.

“
I’m in room 612.” Her voice was
shaky.

“
What? I told you I was taking
care of it.”

“
Just get here.” She hung
up.

Her mind raced as she paced the room.
What
is Charles up to? How did he find me? Will he really fight
Harvey?

The knocking at the door interrupted her
thoughts. Taking no chances, she looked through the key hole. She
opened the door and fell into Jonathan’s arms.

He held onto her and closed the door behind
him with the other. “I ran into Harvey downstairs. He said
something about your husband being here and acting like a lunatic.
What’s going on?”

“
I don’t know. I was waiting for
you. Harvey saw me, and we were talking. The next thing I know,
Charles was there and ready to fight.” The tears she held back
began spilling over.

Jonathan wrapped her in his arms and held her
tight. “It’s going to be okay. If you’re separated, why would he
show up here?”

“
We
are
separated. I can
show you the papers.” She snatched away from him.

“
No, darling. I believe you. I’m
trying to understand his agenda.” He pulled her back to
him.

“
He’s pissed I don’t want to work
it out. It’s over. I’ll never go back to him. Never. He’s a
cheating bastard.”

Jonathan kissed her.

“
But—”

He cut her off with another kiss. She relaxed
and allowed his tongue to enter her mouth. Jonathan unzipped her
dress.

“
You look nice, but the clothes
need to go,” he said.

Her dress fell to the floor. She stood in the
all-white lace bra and thong lingerie she ordered from MeMe’s
Passionate Playhouse. When the mail was passed out, no one was the
wiser due to its discrete brown box.

“
How about this then?” she asked
coyly.

His eyes widened in approval. “Nice, but it
needs to go too.”

Using on hand, he unsnapped her top. He cupped
a breast and took it in his mouth. She arched her body to him.
Sucking on one, then the other, he worked his hand down the front
of her thong. Smiling when he found his target, he fingered her
bud.

Her body tingled from his touch. “That feels
good.”

“
You’re so wet.”

He licked down her breast to her stomach.
Pulling her thong part way down, he used his tongue to replace his
finger. “Open your legs.”

She did. He removed her thong and flicked it
on her pearl. Jonathan slid it in her hole and pumped in and out.
She moaned and held on to his head. His worked inside her, back and
forth from her hole to her button. He vibrated it against
her.

The tingling increased. “I’m about to cum,
baby.”

He sucked her pearl harder as she released on
him. Picking her up, he carried her to the bed. She helped him
remove his clothes. His member stood out to greet her. Kimberly
held it in her hands and rubbed the shaft down to his balls before
taking him in her mouth.

He moaned.

She worked her mouth all around his hard
steel. He pushed in deeper, and she accepted him. Using her mouth
and hands, she stroked him in and out her mouth.

“
I…need…inside,” he
said.

Kimberly spread her legs and guided him inside
her wetness. Her inner walls welcomed him, enjoying his thickness.
He lifted her off the bed and thrust into her while standing. She
wrapped her hands around his back and held on. He pumped into her
with ease, then lowered her back on the bed.

He stroked, and she accepted. They were in
unison. Nothing matter to her but him pleasing her. She took a leg
and placed it on his shoulder, allowing him deeper
access.

“
Yes, baby, take it,” she
said.

“
I just want to make you feel
good. I’ll never hurt you.” He held her hips and pushed into
her.

“
I’m about to cum again, baby!”
She grabbed onto him.

“
Oh! I’m gonna cum with
you.”

Together, pleasure released from them. She
lowered her leg, and he laid on her. They breathed in unison.
Heartbeat to heartbeat. She was at peace again. Jonathan ran his
fingers through her hair until she dozed off.

Chapter
Sixteen

All weekend long, Jonathan’s mission was to
please Kimberly. He wanted her to relax and enjoy their time
together. Between making love to her, he massaged her, washed her
up while they bathed together, and fed her the strawberries and
grapes room service brought.

Jonathan watched her sleeping next to him. All
the stress she had when he first came to her door had faded away.
He hated their first overnight stay had been marred by her soon to
be ex-husband. His gut told him their relationship had long been
over. Now was his time, and he would let nothing, and no one, stand
in the way. Jonathan had waited a long time for a woman like
her.

She found a way into his heart. Kimberly was
independent, kind, and looked amazing with or without clothes. He
loved how she didn’t wear a lot of makeup. The first time he saw
her in civilian clothes, she only wore a touch of eye shadow and
lip gloss while some of the other females caked on the foundation
and war paint.

Jonathan didn’t tell Kimberly, but he’d been
celibate for the past year. He’d vowed to wait until he’d found the
one. The circumstances bringing him to OCS weren’t to his liking,
but with Kimberly by his side he was glad he’d come.

Her eyes opened “What’s on your mind?”, She
smiled at him.

“
I’m just enjoying watching you
sleep, love.” He kissed her forehead.

“
That may be but I know there’s
something on your mind.” She sat up in the bed. “You’re going to
tell me what when I return.”

Kimberly got out the bed and walked to the
bathroom. He smiled at her nakedness and how comfortable she was
with her body. Before long, she returned to the bed next to
him.

“
So?” she said.

“
I was thinking about how happy I
am to have found you.”

“
Is that right? You know what
happens in training stays in training stuff.”

He looked at her long and hard. “I hope you
don’t even believe that. This isn’t some fly by the night
thing.”

She kissed him. “It was a joke. I’m sorry,
babe. The way you hold and care for me, I know it’s more. It’s just
hard for me to believe.”

“
You better get used to it. I’m in
for the long haul.”

“
Oh really?

He nodded.

“
Have you ever been with a black
woman before?”

She caught him off guard. “No, have you been
with a white man?”

“
I’ve never had the opportunity.
I’ll take any man who treats me with respect and looks at me the
way you do.”

Jonathan wrapped her in his arms. Her words
made his heart flutter.

“
There is something I need to tell
you though.” His smile faded.

“
Do I want to know?” she
frowned.

“
Yes. I came to OCS because a
drill sergeant sleeping with trainees’ scandal was getting ready to
blow up. Over six people were about to be indicted.”

“
Oh my God. Were you sleeping with
a trainee?” She covered her mouth.

“
No. My Sergeant Major didn’t want
me involved. There was a girl who tried to come on to me. I was
smart enough to report it at the first instance, but another Drill
Sergeant did take her up on the offer. If I stayed, it would have
been guilt by association. I took the lessor of the evils and left.
I had to save my career.”

“
I’m so sorry, baby.” She hugged
him tight.

“
I’m fine. It was time for a
change anyway. Besides, I wouldn’t have met you.” He
smiled.
