Rediscovering Peace (Military Love Book 1) (3 page)

“God, Skye, your mouth is more amazing than I thought.”

He grabbed my hair and pushed his dick in my mouth at a fast pace. I relaxed around him taking him as deep as possible. I sheathed my teeth and bobbed my head up and down. He started to growl. “I’m going to come in your mouth, Skye.”

I could feel him getting harder and knew he was close. After a few moments, I felt the stream of hot semen in my mouth and swallowed every drop of it. I licked him clean and then snuggled up to him.

“I don’t want to know where you learned this, but that was the most amazing blow job in my life. Come here, sweetheart. Let’s get some sleep before we go at it again.” He wrapped his arm around me, and I drifted off to sleep. A few hours later, he woke me with his mouth on my clit again. We spend most of the night making love. I was happy I didn’t have to work the next day. I woke up the in the morning to breakfast in bed. I could smell the fresh brewed coffee and reluctantly opened my eyes.

“Hmm...if you do this every day I might just keep you,” I murmured.

He smiled his panty dropping smile at me.

“Let’s go out tonight, Skye. I want you to meet my best friend. Bring your friends too. The more the merrier.”

“Okay. I am sure Faith and Caige are down for a night of dancing. I have to tell you though, Caige is like my brother. So he’s a bit umm...overprotective. And he’s wary of you. I think you should know this.”

“I only care what you think about me. Now get your butt up, I want to take you to the beach.”

I got up and wandered over to the shower. I got in and felt Oliver get in behind me. The shower ended up with me bent over and Oliver having his way with me. Best. Shower. Ever.

After the beach, Oliver dropped me off at home so I could get ready for the night ahead. I was a little sore from all the sex but I enjoyed knowing it was him making me feel this way. “Hey, guys. Oliver wants to go to Cowboys tonight. Want to join?” I asked my roommates when I found them at the breakfast bar.

“Sure thing. I can use a night of booze, girls and dancing.”

“Will you ever settle for just one girl, Caige?” I asked. I was concerned about Caige’s love life.

He shrugged. “You know that’s not going to happen. I enjoy my single life.”

“Just be careful. I worry about you,” I admitted.

“You have nothing to worry about.”

“Okay. If you say so.”

I debated whether or not to take a nap but decided to take a bath instead and read one of my books. Once I got out I prepared dinner and opened up a bottle of wine. Faith joined me in the kitchen.

“So how was your night?”

“OMG! Faith, he was amazing. He is a completely different person in the bedroom but he still made me feel like I am the only girl in the world.” I giggled.

“What do you mean he’s a different person?”

“Well, he has a dirty mouth and is very blunt about what he wants to do to me. So hot. I lost count on how many times I came. Oh and he said he was falling in love with me.”

“Wow. Isn’t that a bit fast? I mean you guys like just met.”

“I know. But he makes me feel like I have never felt before. I am comfortable around him and I trust him not to hurt me. I am falling for him too and it scares the shit out of me. I want to give him a chance. I think this could be the real thing. He might be the one.”

“Okay, babygirl, you know I support you, just promise me not to rush anything. Now let’s get ready for our night out. ‘Bout time we got our asses on a dance floor again.”

A few months later, Oliver and I were out for dinner. He had been distant all week, and I couldn’t figure out why. I was beginning to think he was going to break up with me. I didn’t understand why. Things were amazing between us. We had fantastic sex and spend almost all our free time together unless he was out in the field for training. I missed him a lot when he was gone, but I knew it was his job.

“Oliver, what’s wrong? You are distancing yourself from me and I don’t know why. Are you not happy anymore?”

He sighed at my question putting his fork down.

“Skye, of course I am happy. You’re the air I breathe. I don’t know what I would do without you.”

“What is it then? I know you are keeping something from me.”

“Dammit, I didn’t want to tell you tonight. I got orders on Monday. I’m leaving Savannah in three months.”

I knew this was going to happen eventually, he had been in Fort Stewart for almost three years. I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

“Where to?”

“Fort Carson. Fucking Colorado.”

“But that’s good isn’t it? You’ll be closer to your family.”

“I don’t want to be away from you. You’re all that matters to me, Skye. Come with me?” I looked at him. He wanted me to go with him? We had only been dating for a few months. Yes, I had strong feelings for him but my life was here. My family, my best friends and my job. I loved my job and had worked hard to get the position I had. I worked for a marketing firm, and I couldn’t imagine leaving my job.

“Oliver, isn’t it too soon for us to take that step? I love you, but I am not sure I am ready to up and move with you yet.”

He looked at me with a sad look on his face. I knew I was hurting him.

“I knew you were going to say that. And I understand. We will make it work. I am not losing you.”

“You won’t. I’ll fly out as much as I can and you can come see me on your four day weekends.” I promised. The mood lightened after we got over this bump, but I felt like this was just the beginning. I had a nagging feeling that it wouldn’t last. I didn’t want to lose him. I had become so dependent on him.

Oliver and I spent as much time as possible with each other, dreading the day he would have to leave me. As much as we didn’t want it to come it finally arrived. Oliver had spent the night with me and we barely got any sleep. I was sure I wouldn’t be able to walk for days after all the sex we had had all night. We got up and showered together trying to be close to each for as long as possible. It broke my heart having to watch him leave. Oliver gave Faith a hug and shook Caige’s hand telling them to take care of me while he was gone. I had to fight my tears. I had been a crying mess for weeks. My love was about to get on a plane and be gone from me. We drove to the airport in silence not knowing how to handle the situation.

“I will miss you so much, Oliver. Please don’t forget about me.”

“Never! My every thought will be of you. Until I have you in my arms again.”

I stayed behind him after we made it to the airport. He was in his ACUs because it made traveling easier, or so he said. I didn’t mind. He looked hot as hell, and I wanted to take them off of him and ride his cock all day long. I blushed at my thoughts. Oliver brought out a side of me that I didn’t know I had. We made it to the gate and I knew it was time to say see you later. I closed my eyes stalling from doing so. When I opened my eyes, I saw Oliver on one knee and the most beautiful princess cut diamond ring I had ever seen. It was simple, yet gorgeous. He knew I wasn’t big on jewelry. I gasped and threw my hand up to my mouth.

“Skye, we only met six months ago. But sometimes you just know. I can’t imagine what it would be like without you in my life. I want to spend the rest of my life worshipping you and the ground you walk on. I love you with every beat of my heart. Will you marry me and become Mrs. Nelson?”

Tears were streaming down my face as I wrapped my arms around him

“Yes. Of course I will marry you! I can’t imagine my life without you in it either.”

Applause erupted around us. Travelers had been watching our exchange.

“Ugh. You two make me sick to my stomach.”

We turned around to find Oliver’s best friend, Cody Edwards, standing there. They were in a unit together, and I don’t know why but I couldn’t stand him. He was an arrogant ass. I knew he didn’t like me either. I had overheard him telling Oliver he should leave me.

“What are you doing here, Edwards?”

“I just came to send you off. Have a great time in Carson and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. We will make plans for me to fly out soon and have a guys’ weekend. I hear Carson’s party life is great.”

I cringed at Cody’s words. He was trying to make me uncomfortable, and he was succeeding.

“Yeah why not. Before you fly your ugly mug out I want to see my fiancée first though. Now if you would let us have a minute. I would like to be able to kiss my soon-to-be-wife goodbye.” Oliver turned to me and smiled at me.

“You have nothing to worry about. I only care about you. You’re going to be my wife. You better get used to it, you are stuck with me.”

I grinned at his words and kissed him with all the passion I could muster. I wanted him to feel my love for him before he left. I wanted him to remember the feeling of my lips on his while we were separated.

“Okay, babe, I gotta go. Or I will miss my flight.”

I watched him walk through security and when I couldn’t see him any longer I made my way back to my car. Cody was waiting for me there.

“You should forget about him. He is not going to stay with you. He will realize there’s someone better out there for him. I wouldn’t even bother planning a wedding if I was you.”

I glared at him. “I don’t know what I have done to you, but Oliver and I are happy. We love each other and just because you’re jealous you don’t have to ruin what we have. If you were a true friend you would be happy for him, you selfish fucking prick.”

I got in my car and drove off not able to shake the nagging feeling that Cody was somehow right.

“Bullshit, Oliver loves me. He proposed to me. We are getting married.”

Once I got home I locked myself in my room. I just wanted to hide for days and cry my eyes out. I wanted to have Oliver by my side - not across the country where I couldn’t see him every day. After a while, I didn’t have any more tears and fell into a restless sleep. I felt a hand brushing my hair out of my face and saw Caige sitting on the edge of my bed.

“Get up, babygirl. Let’s get ice cream and watch Netflix. No more tears, you will see him again soon.”

“I don’t want to. Leave me in my misery.”

“Enough. I am not going to watch you pity yourself.” Caige lifted me out of bed. That’s when he saw the ring on my finger.

“What’s this?”

“Umm...Oliver asked me to marry him at the airport and I said yes. Please, Caige, don’t make a big deal out of this.”

“Well, you know I think it’s too soon. But if you are happy I am. So congratulations.”

I knew why he was my best friend.

“Earth to Skye, where are you? We are here.” Faith looked at me with a concerned look on her face. I looked around and saw that we were at the airport. Four long months later and I would finally get to see Oliver in a few hours.

“I was just thinking about Oliver. About how we met and our first few months together. I can’t wait to see him in a few hours. Four months is way too long.”

Oliver and I had been together for one and a half years but the last nine months we had only seen each other three times. I lived for the daily texts, phone calls and skype sessions. It was a hard number on both of us and sooner or later I would have to move out there if I wanted to be with him. Despite what he had said in the beginning he re-enlisted and was about to deploy for a year. This would be the last time I saw him before he went to Afghanistan. I didn’t want to think about it. I dreaded this visit as much as I was excited about it. Lately Oliver had been short on calls and texts, but I figured it had to do with the deployment coming up. I knew he was worried about that. I made it through security and boarded my plane. Four hours and I would be in the arms of my man again. I was ready for it. I leaned back and drifted off to sleep. I was exhausted from not being able to sleep the night before. I would get a nap in so I would have more energy when I met Oliver.

The plane came to a stop and I impatiently waited for all the passengers to get off the plane. I promised myself to fly first class next time. This economy shit was for the birds. When I finally made it out of the plane I hurried to get my luggage. I walked out to the arrivals lobby and was looking around for Oliver. Finally I saw him and my heart started beating faster. He was in his ACUs again and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on and his clothes off him. I started running towards him and flew into his open arms. I kissed him all over his face just happy to see him. “I’ve missed you too, baby.” He laughed.
