The Soldier Next Door (8 page)

“I don’t know.” She shrugged. “I guess deep inside you brought me back to life. I’ve merely existed since my divorce, not truly lived. Maybe I’m secretly a thrill seeker.” She laughed a little.

“I love your laugh. You’re real and sweet.”

“Thanks.” She smiled.

“I won’t drink anymore. If I do, you can walk away for good and I’ll never bother you again. But I’d like you to be my girlfriend, I’d like us to be exclusive as a couple. The ring is my promise to you that I won’t give up on life no matter how dark it gets in here.” He tapped his temple. “I’ll never put you through another suicide mission. Today I realized suicide is the coward’s way out. I’ve never backed down from a fight. I’m ready to live again.”

Blinking tears away, she looked down at the ring. It was very beautiful in an antique setting, a perfect combination of darkness and light. “I want you to live. I’ve grown extremely attached to you this past week. Not sure I want my boring life back.” She lifted her eyes. “Are you sure about this?”

He took her left hand in his and slid the ring on her finger. “No doubt in my mind about you. If you’re not the right woman for me, then there isn’t one out there. I’m falling in love with you, baby doll.”

Her gaze shifted from the delicate ring to his loving eyes. “I’m falling for you, too.”

“You’ll be my lady?”

“Yes.”

They fell together in a sincere hug, faces buried against each other’s necks. No man had ever held her with this much genuine feeling. She relaxed in his arms, feeling safe and confident that he meant every word. There had never been a fake moment between them and she treasured that fact.

“I know I said no sex tonight,” she whispered against his ear. “But I really want you right now.”

He eased back. Their eyes met. Without saying a word, he scooped her off the couch and into his arms. They kissed passionately as he carried her back to the bedroom. His tongue filled her mouth. He laid her down without breaking the kiss. One hand slid up her bare leg and under her short denim skirt. She sighed when his fingers slid past her damp lace panties and into her sex. Reaching down, she undid the fly to his jeans to release his fine erection into her waiting hand. They stroked each other while kissing madly.

He pulled away to strip off his clothes. Their gazes locked as she did the same. Before he had a chance to lie down again, she gripped his ass and tugged him close. His hands dove into her hair, taking a tight hold as her lips closed around the head of his cock.

“Ah fuck,” he groaned, kneeling on the bed before her.

She went down on him hard, never letting up until he pushed her down on the bed.

His hands slid down the entire length of her legs as he lowered his head between her thighs. “You have the sexiest legs I’ve ever seen.”

A gasp escaped her when his hot moist mouth closed around her clit. He sucked and licked her into uncontrollable lust. She grabbed his head and lifted her hips, silently begging for more.

He took her to the edge of ecstasy then rolled onto his back. She flashed him a wicked grin while straddling his waist. He smiled in return with shimmering eyes.

“Hell yesss…” she breathed out the words as his long thick cock filled her completely.

Aggressive yet tender hands swept over her,
stroking her thighs, caressing her breasts, and teasing her nipples relentlessly. They slammed against each other. She met each blissful thrust with a downward push of her hips against his. They fucked each other in wild abandonment, not withholding a thing. A deeper connection established itself during their unbridled sex-fest on his king-sized bed.

They switched positions several times, exchanging ravenous kisses, exploring each other without inhibition. Nothing had ever felt this real. Nobody had ever touched her this deeply.

He shifted their position again, taking her from behind as she braced both hands and knees on the mattress. She loved it. His feral approach thrilled her, penetrated her to the max. Her sex erupted into overpowering spasms, forcing her head down as she gasped for breath. In the next moment, he exploded inside. A flood of heat surged deep inside, making her come even harder.

“Oh fuck yes!” She clenched her teeth as a wild orgasm rocked her body.

“Baby, baby,” he groaned, holding her steady while completing his release.

They crested the idyllic peak of ecstasy together, panting for breath, soaked in sweat. When the climax began to subside, he rolled her over and slid his still erect cock back inside. They were slippery and wet.

She pulled his head down for another kiss, then their eyes met. His passion-glazed expression mirrored her euphoric state of mind. Still coupled, they laid together basking in the pleasure of their physical connection.

Several minutes later, his breathing sounded almost normal. He gazed into her eyes and gave her a sexy wink.

“The next time you tell me
no sex
, how about a heads up on that one?”

She let out a short airy laugh. “Oh I don’t think so, baby. What fun will I be if my brave and handsome soldier can predict my every move?”

A charming smile touched his sensual lips. His captivating dark eyes sparkled mischievously. “Have it your way, doll…” His voice dropped to a whisper. He lowered his head to her neck. Warm breath sent shivers over her skin as he mysteriously whispered, “But watch out for those zombies.”
