Rediscovering Peace (Military Love Book 1) (4 page)

“Take me home, Oliver. I need you inside of me right now.”

He grabbed my hand and luggage and dragged me to his truck as fast as possible. He was quiet on the drive to his house. Something was bothering him, but I didn’t want to ask him and bug him. I would wait a little bit. Right now I was more worried about him being buried inside of me.

“Pull over.”

“What do you mean pull over? We are on the interstate.”

“This is your home. I am sure you know a quiet place where you can pull over so I can give my fiancé a blowjob.”

“Skye, you can wait till we get home. Then I will be at your mercy.”

His rejection hurt. He never rejected me.

“Fine.” I pouted.

“Babe, don’t be mad. I just don’t want us to get caught. It’s the middle of the day.”

“Whatever. Take me to your place.”

We made it to his apartment complex and he came around to open my door. I climbed out of the truck and walked up to his place. He came up behind me and opened the door. Once inside he slammed the door and turned me around. His lips lowered to mine and he kissed me. Something was off. He didn’t kiss me with as much passion as he usually did.

“
He’s just worried about his deployment, is all.”
I kept telling myself. He picked me up and pushed me up the door.

“Now, what was it you wanted to do in the car?”

“You inside me is what I want the most right now. You missed your opportunity for a blowjob.”

He lifted my skirt I was wearing and ripped my panties off while I was fumbling with his pants. When we were naked he got a condom from a drawer nearby and rolled it over. He lifted me up while I wrapped my legs around him. I could feel him at my entrance. That was weird – he usually spent time making sure I was completely ready for him. The thoughts left my mind when he pushed into me. I relaxed around him and took as much as I could.

“I’ve missed your tight little vagina. Nothing compares to being inside of you.”

I was so turned on and felt the familiar build up. I was close. I had been deprived of sex for four months so I wasn’t going to last long. He pushed into me hard and fast.

“Oh my God! Yes, Oliver. Fuck me. Harder.” He gave me what I needed and I came with a scream. The orgasm was toe curling, and I thought I would never come back down. Oliver carried me to his bed.

“Get on your hands and knees, babe. I am going to take you from behind.” I got on all fours and felt him entering me from behind, and I was lost at the feeling of him being so deep inside of me. Our bodies were slamming against each other. I was panting with need as another orgasm rippled through me. I felt Oliver getting harder in me and knew he was close too. “Let go, Oliver.”

He came with a loud growl. We flopped on our backs unable to catch our breaths.

“Babe, I hate to tell you, but I have to go back on base. Some more packing for the deployment. Why don’t you take a nap and I will be back as soon as I can,” he explained after a few minutes.

I pouted at him. “On a Saturday? Can’t they wait till Monday? I only have this weekend before I have to share you with them again.”

“I know, sweetheart. But you will be here for a week. We will have plenty of time to make up for lost time.”

“Okay, but you better give me lots and lots of orgasms when you get back.”

“I think I can handle that.” He got up and got dressed. “Have I told you that I like having you naked in my bed? Don’t get dressed. I want to come home to you like this. I love you, babe.” He kissed my forehead and left the room to get ready to go to work. I had missed him so much. I hated that he had to leave me while I was visiting but I knew the army didn’t care about personal life. He had to go in when they demanded it. I rolled on my side falling asleep. I dreamed of Oliver and our wedding. I couldn’t wait to share some of the plans with him. Faith and I had spent a great deal of time planning the wedding. I decided I wanted to get married when he got back from deployment and would be on leave for two weeks. It would be a small ceremony. I was hoping to talk to his mom to arrange for them to fly to Savannah. I had met his family on my last visit to Colorado and was happy at how welcoming they were. His mom and I talked all the time and she was slowly becoming a big part in my life.

I woke up to Oliver climbing in bed beside me. He was naked and I couldn’t wait to feel him inside of me.

“I could get used to waking up like this.”

He was spooning me from behind and pushed into me. I moaned at the feel of him inside of me. Sex with Oliver was amazing. But something about this time was different. It didn’t feel as intimate as it usually was. Oliver came fast and hard. He pulled out of me and I heard him drifting off to sleep. He had never left me hanging before. Getting up I walked to the master bathroom wanting to take a shower. As I was standing under the stream of water, I couldn’t stop the tears as I realized Oliver was slipping away from me. What had happened in the last four months? My last visit had been so different. His whole attention had been on me, and he was so proud to introduce me to his family and friends. I had to figure out what was going on. I wouldn’t just give up without a fight. Oliver was the one, and I couldn’t imagine life without him. I got out of the shower to get dressed. Heading into the kitchen I was thinking about my surprise I had for Oliver. I hoped this would change things between us. I looked around for something edible and decided to cook spaghetti for us. While I was cooking I felt Oliver come up behind me hugging me.

“I’m sorry I fell asleep on you, babe. It’s been a long week and this deployment preparation is getting to me. I am not ready for this. I don’t want to be away from you for a year.”

“I don’t want you to be away either, but we will make it through this, Oliver. I will always wait for you. I will be here to welcome you back. I promise.”

He turned me around and kissed me.

“I don’t know how I lived without you before. You are amazing, Skye.”

A smile flashed across my face, he knew just what to say to keep the butterflies in my stomach. I hoped he would never tire of me.

“Why don’t you set the table and I will have food out in five minutes?”

“Sure thing.”

“And, Oliver?”

“Yes?”

“I love you more than anything.”

“You too, babe.”

We sat at his dining table eating in silence, and I enjoyed his company. I was so happy to be spending time with him again. Nothing compared to it.

“I have something to tell you, Oliver,” I blurted out not able to keep the surprise from him any longer.

“What is it?”

“My company has decided to expand and open a new location. They’re opening an office here in Colorado Springs. They have also agreed to transfer me out here. When you get back from deployment I am moving here, so we can actually be together.”

He smiled at me, his smile not quite reaching his eyes.

“That is great.”

Why wasn’t he more excited? He was the one who had wanted me to move with him so we wouldn’t be apart. I fought the tears trying not to show my disappointment in his reaction.

“Do you want to go see a movie tonight?” he asked me over a bite of his spaghetti.

“Sure why not. Maybe we can sneak in a little hand job during the movie.” I winked at him.

“You’re insatiable, love. “

“Only for you.”

I got up, cleared off the table and put the plates in the dishwasher. When I was finished, we got into the car and drove to the movies. I was excited to spend some alone time with my fiancé. Maybe we needed this to find our way back to each other. I refused to think that he had had enough of me. While we were watching some action packed movie, I noticed that there were only a few others occupying the seats a couple of rows in front of us. Perfect. Giving him a mischievous grin I turned to Oliver. I started opening the fly of his jeans and pulled out his cock. He was already erect so I got on my knees in front of him.

“What are you doing, Skye?” he whispered.

“Oh you know, just giving my future husband a blow job he won’t ever forget,” I answered as I slowly took him in my mouth. I licked up and down his length and felt him squirm underneath me. I loved that I could do this him. A low growl escaped him, and I knew I had him exactly where I wanted him–at my mercy. I licked and sucked him relentlessly eager to make him come as hard as possible. I could feel him getting harder and knew he was on edge. He spurted his hot liquid inside of my mouth and I licked him clean. Tugging his cock away I sit back satisfied with myself. Luckily we hadn’t been caught. I snuggled into his embrace as he kissed my forehead.

“You’re going to be the death of me, sweetheart. That was mind blowing. I can’t wait to be buried inside of you.”

Anticipation flowed through me at his words. I could barely concentrate on the movie. I was ready to get out of there and get fucked by my fiancé. After the movie ended, he asked me if I wanted to go to The Mansion, a club in downtown Colorado Springs.

“I would rather go home and have my way with you,” I answered with a smile on my face.

“Come on, Skye. Some of my friends are there. It’s Saturday and it’s probably hopping.”

Pouting I agreed to go. He never had put clubbing before me. We were always so caught up in each other that we couldn’t care less about hitting the clubs. But if that’s what he wanted I would go with him.

“I could call Paisley and ask her to meet us. I haven’t seen her in a while.”

Paisley Jennings was a friend I had met back in Germany where she was stationed with her husband before she lost him in Afghanistan. We had become close friends while I was helping her with her grief and I hadn’t talked to her in a while.

“Sure. I bet she would love to see you while you’re here.”

I called her and she agreed to meet us at The Mansion. I was excited about seeing my friend and quickly forgot that Oliver would rather go clubbing than spend time with me alone. We arrived at the club and I could tell it was going to be a busy night. The bouncer waved us through and greeted Oliver with a handshake. He must’ve been spending some time here if he knew the bouncers. Ugh. I needed to get rid of this nagging feeling. He would never cheat on me and betray me. After all, we were going to get married. Still, I had a feeling something bad was about to happen. About an hour later someone tapped me on my shoulder and I turned around to see Paisley. I squealed and started jumping up and down excited to see her. We finally let go of each other.

She laughed at me. “It’s about time you hit me up, girl. You know I follow you on Facebook and know you were here four months ago. You never even called me.”

I looked over to my soon-to-be-husband.

“I’m sorry. I was so caught up in my fiancé that the thought never crossed my mind. But soon you will have me around a lot.”

“What do you mean?”

“I am moving to the Springs when Oliver comes back from his deployment. My company is opening an office here and agreed to let me relocate here.”

“That is awesome news! I know you’re going to be happy to be with your man. Seriously, girl, I am so happy for you. You deserve it.”

“Thank you, Paisley. Come on let me introduce you to my man.”

We went over to where Oliver was sitting with his friends. I could tell he was on his way to getting drunk.

“Looks like I will be the DD for the night,” I told Paisley while I rolled my eyes at my fiancé.

“Hey, Oliver, this is Paisley. Paisley, this is my very drunk fiancé Oliver.”

“I’m not drunk, babe,” Oliver slurred.

“Whatever, I am going to hit the dance floor. You might want to slow down a little bit. I would like to spend some time with you when we get home. Alone.”

Paisley and I danced the night away.

“Are you okay, Skye? You seem sad.”

A tear escaped my eyes.

“Come on, girl – let’s go find a seat where we can talk. I can see that something is upsetting you.” Paisley offered.

“Oliver has been so distant lately. He rejected me earlier today and when I told him I would rather spend time with him at home he just told me he wanted to go out with his friends. His texts and calls have been rather short too over the last few weeks. And there are times where I can’t even get ahold of him. I know he’s preparing for deployment and he’s worried about that, but he has never acted like this before. I don’t know, Paisley, I feel like he is slipping away from me.”

“If you don’t mind me asking, how is your sex life?”

I thought about her question for a minute and debated if I wanted to tell her the truth.

“Well, it’s great. But it has been different. It’s less intimate. Earlier we had sex and he totally left me hanging. He always makes sure I come at least once. Ugh. Paisley, I don’t know what to do. We are getting married in a year. I don’t want to lose him.”

“Skye, I don’t want to be the bad guy, but if the sex isn’t what it usually is, there is a possibility he is seeing someone else. My husband and I went through the same thing before. I knew something was up when we only had sex once a week. We used to have sex at least once a day. I was a wreck when I found out he had been cheating. I did forgive him but our relationship has never been the same again. I am not saying he is cheating on you. Maybe his nerves are just shot because of his upcoming deployment. It would be hard on anyone. He could also be worried of losing you in the year he is gone.”

“I am not going anywhere. I love him and will stick by his side. But if he is cheating I don’t know if I could handle it. I will talk to him when he’s sober. Let’s get back to dancing. I need to forget for a while.”

“Of course, girl. Let’s go shake our sexy booties.” I laughed and followed her back to the dance floor. I was so glad to have Paisley in my life. She would always give it to me straight whether I liked it or not. I knew that I had to talk to Oliver, there was no way I could leave without having clarity. At 2:00 a.m., they announced last call and Paisley helped me drag Oliver to his car. He was beyond drunk. There was no way I was getting laid tonight.

“Do you want me to come to his house and help you get him to bed?”
