When they entered the room, the table was set for dinner and the roses that were left in the limo had been placed throughout the room. The wine, chocolate covered strawberries, whipped cream, and various fruits lay on the night stand. Sam’s clothing was put away as well as Raleigh’s. The staff had also placed a sheer nightgown on the bed. She walked over and picked it up, holding it up to her face. “I see you,” she said to Raleigh, who laughed at her.
“So, where did this come from, darlin’?”
“Well, Ms. Sam, I thought since it gets so warm in these rooms once the fireplace gets going, you wouldn’t want much on.”
“Oh really, you say? And where did this come from?”
“Well darlin’, I bought it at the hotel store, then called ahead here to make sure they placed it on the bed for you. Is that okay?”
“Oh yes, I love it.”
“Well, I’m gonna love seein’ it in a pile on the floor.”
“Dinner first, my darlin’.”
Raleigh pulled out the chair for her and she sat down. The plates were piled full of a thick steak, baked potato, corn, and dinner rolls. The centerpiece was lit candles and the mixed scents of roses and lavender filled the air. Raleigh poured their wine and sat down. He held his glass out to hers. “A toast, my dear.”
“Ok, to?”
“To us and a future.”
Their glasses tinged and they both sipped.
“I like this. What is it?”
“It’s called muscadine wine. It’s one of my favorites, and my daddy makes it on the farm.”
“I’d love to see that one day.”
“Well, ya just might.”
She smiled at the thought of a future with him and seeing the farm he grew up on. She had little and her family had pretty much abandoned her when she joined the Army.
“So, Miss Sam, can I ask you a question?”
“Of course, anything you want. I am an open book.”
“Would you tell me what happened to you that has caused you so much pain and mistrust? You don’t have to tell me if you’re not ready, but I want to go into this with our eyes wide open and honesty as number one. I don’t want to risk saying or doing something that might cause you more pain. I think that it would help if you’re willing to share that part of yourself with me.”
“Are you sure you want to know?”
“Darlin’, I will tell you this, if I can help take that pain away, I will. And I will wait and be patient. For me, your trust in me is the most important thing in my life. Before we make love, I want you to feel it in your heart that I would not hurt you and that I want you, not just for tonight but in the future. For me, you are not a one-night stand, so if I am that for you, you need to tell me now. So yes, baby. I want to know.”
Sam picked up her glass of wine, drank half the glass and told her story. She was in Afghanistan and she and her partner, Staff Sergeant Ray Chance, were on patrol outside the wire. They had been ambushed and Ray had taken two hits to his chest and one to his leg. She fought as much as she could, but then when they ran out of ammo, the enemy captured them. For a week, they had been tortured and stripped of their clothing. Ray was beaten severely, and his wounds went untreated. He died in front of her, leaving her there alone. For two more weeks she was beaten and accosted by her captors. Then when she was just ready to give up and die, a team of soldiers, special ops guys she thought, burst through the doors, shot her captors, and cut her ropes. She lay there naked, bruised and beaten beyond recognition, and a soldier wrapped her in a blanket and whisked her off into a helicopter. She lay in his arms and stared into his eyes.
“He had the kindest and such gentle eyes. I will never forget what he gave to me—my life. He saved me that day, and if I could find him I would kiss him. I passed out, but the doctors and nurses at the hospital said he stayed by my side for three days, never leaving but to go to the bathroom. The nurses brought him food and he sat and held my hand. They never got his name, and I searched for him for a little while. But you know yourself how tight-knit special operations is, so I got nowhere. When I got home, I thought I would surprise my boyfriend, but instead I got a surprise. I found him in bed with my best friend. It wasn’t the first time with him, and I knew it wouldn’t be the last. Seemed like all my boyfriends end up cheating on me. Not sure why. Guess I am just a bad judge of men.”
Raleigh sat for a moment and took it all in. Sam noticed that while she told him her story his facial expressions changed quite frequently, but she figured it was shock from her story. Then he spoke.
“Baby, I have something to tell you and it might seem far-fetched, but I swear on my momma and my daddy it is the God’s honest truth. Baby, I was that soldier. Well, I am that soldier, the one that swept you up in the blanket in Afghanistan and stayed by your side for three days. I didn’t want to leave, but I had a mission, the same mission I lost my guys in and got captured. That’s why you never saw me again. I came back, but by the time we got free, you were gone. My heart broke. The moment I saw you and we looked into each other’s eyes, that day was the day I fell in love with you. But you were gone, and there was no hope of finding you. As good as special ops are, if you don’t have a good reason to search for someone, they won’t let you.”
Sam sat stunned. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. He had to be playing her. She would test him with something only he would know if he was there. She wanted to trust him, but she had to check.
“Sam, are you gonna say something?”
“Yes, and please don’t be offended when I ask you this, but I gotta ask. If you were there, then what did the blanket I was wrapped in have on it?”
“Well, darlin’, that’s easy. And I never got it back, but it was my Alabama Crimson Tide blanket. It had Big Al the elephant on it. Carried that blanket in my bag on every mission my entire career.”
Sam jumped up out of her seat, knocking Raleigh to the floor as she kissed him. And she couldn’t stop kissing him.
“Do you know I have dreamed of you every night since the day I saw you? I knew there was something about your eyes.”
Raleigh sat up. He laughed then he kissed her again. “You wouldn’t happen to still have that blanket would ya?”
Sam rolled over on her back, laughing like she had never laughed before. “What would you say if I told you I carry it with me everywhere, and I have it with me right now?”
She got up off the floor and walked over to the dresser. She pulled out the blanket. “Would this be what you’re lookin’ for, darlin’?” She unfolded the blanket in front of him.
“Yep, that’s the one. I am gonna lay it under you when I get you in that bed.”
“Ok, darlin’. That’s a deal.”
Raleigh got up and fixed his chair and pulled Sam’s chair out for her. “Dinner first, my dear,” he said as he pushed her chair in.
“This is not at all how I expected this night to go, Raleigh.”
“Well, my darlin’, it's gonna get better. But let’s eat some of this great food. You are gonna need all the strength you can get for tonight.”
“Oh, really?”
“Oh yes, darlin’. We have a lot of time to make up for.”
As they ate, they talked about their hometowns and their families and what they wanted from their Army careers and from their personal lives. Once they got close to finishing their food, Raleigh got up from his chair and pulled out the necklace.
“I bought this for you in North Carolina. I was going to give it to you the night we were going to go out, but that didn’t happen. So, I saved it for this moment, and I am glad I did.”
He handed her the box and she opened it, finding a heart-shaped locket with the words Always and Forever. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she gave him the locket to put around her neck. After he had placed it, he bent down and kissed her neck. She turned towards him and kissed him. Their lips met, and the fire between them exploded. She stood up and they held each other as tightly as they could. “I’m never letting you go, baby,” he cooed in her ear.
“I don’t ever want you to,” she said as she turned around for him to help her out of the ball gown. Button by button revealed more and more of the corset that lay underneath. He slowly unlaced it as her gown fell onto the floor. Once he had unlaced the corset, her breasts fell heaping into his hands. He cupped each one and knelt down to suck each nipple. She tasted so good to him, and as he removed the taffeta underskirt, he found that the thong she had on earlier in the day was no longer present. He licked circles down the length of her body to her shaven mound. He found her folds and began to lick impatiently to taste her wetness. He was still clothed, and she stood naked in front of him.
He stood, then sat down on the bed. “Just stand there for a moment, baby, and let me look at you.”
She stood, not moving a muscle while he took the sight of her in his memory. “I want to remember every moment of this night. I want to sear your image in my mind, just like this.” As she stood there, she moved. “Nope, no moving baby. Just stand right there. I am going to take this suit off. I don’t want you to move.”
She stood as he took off each piece. Once he got to his pants and they fell to the floor, she could tell the effect she was having on him. His cock was hard and lay upward, the tip sticking out of the band on his boxers. As his boxers came off, his cock lay straight and pointed towards her. She couldn’t take her eyes off it or him. She wanted to touch him so badly, but she couldn’t move yet.
He stood in front of her, his eyes taking in every line and every curve of her body. “I want to remember this for the rest of my life,” he told her. Her nipples were plump and erect, ready for his mouth to engulf them, but he stood in silence. She followed his eyes as they moved about her body, and she became more excited the longer she stood still. When she moved, he ordered her to stay still. Once he had all he could take, he kneeled down at her feet. He sat there for a moment looking up into her hazel eyes and smiled a sheepish grin, then took his fingertips and ran them the length of her body. She moved as the light touch tickled. “No moving, baby. Not yet,” he told her.
“But…”
“No talking either,” he commanded.
She stood in silence and took in his caresses. The feeling was almost unbearable. She had dreamed of this moment with him since she first saw him. It was finally happening, and she couldn’t talk or move. The suspense was killing her. Her body was now begging to have him inside of her.
“I want to take you all in, baby, to memorize every line and curve of your beautiful body. It won’t be much longer, I promise.” As she looked into his eyes, she saw not just that man who saved her life but a man who loved her completely. She loved him, too. She couldn’t deny it anymore. She kept telling herself it was nothing but lust and that he would leave her as soon as he got what he wanted, but she had been lying to herself. She had denied what was so evident to her now. She loved this man and would do anything for him, even die for him.
She felt him stop for a moment and she worried he wouldn’t start again. The way his hands felt against her body was pure heaven. She never wanted him to stop ever. She felt him move towards her closer and felt his breath on her shaven mound. It was then she felt the warm wetness of his tongue. She arched her back trying to find somewhere to catch her if she fell. The wall as just inches behind her if she needed it. Her breath caught as he moved his tongue over her clit, making its way through her folds to her dripping hole.
As he lunged his warm, wet tongue into her, he could taste as her juices dripped. He loved the way she tasted, and she smelled so good he could stay forever between her legs. As he found the inside of her, he played with her, pushing his tongue in and then pulling it out, paying extra attention to rubbing her clit as he moved in and out. She arched backward as if to tell him she wanted more, but she would have to wait. They had all night, and he would take as much of it as he could and he definitely didn’t want her to climax yet. That would be saved for when he was inside her, when he could feel her contractions wrapped around him. There was one last thing he wanted to do while he had her exactly where he wanted her. He took his finger, wet it with his mouth, then slid it inside of her. She moaned so loudly, he almost feared that the staff would hear, but it was a big house so she could scream as loud as she wanted. He loved a lively woman. They would tell you what they wanted, how they wanted it, and what to do. From what he had experienced already with Sam, she was that woman. He watched her as he slid his finger in and out of her. Her moans became louder, and she begged him to take her now.
“Not yet, baby, but soon,” he told her.
“Oh baby, it feels so good. I’m so close to coming. I’m not sure how much longer I can hold out.”
“No coming yet, baby. Promise me you will hold on.”
She nodded her head in agreement; she couldn’t talk because the rapid movements of his fingers almost had her out of control. She begged him to stop. She was so close she could feel the pressure inside building. When he stopped, he held out his hand to hers, walking her to the bed then laying her in the middle. He spread her legs open, tying each to one to the posters on each end of the bed. Then he tied her hands. As he hovered over her body tying her hands, his cock lay but just two inches away from her lips. She reached up and sucked on the tip, she could taste his pre-cum that lay dripping from his tip. He arched almost off the bed when she found his tip.
“No touching yet, baby. You will get him very soon. I want you to lay here for now, relax, and let me give you an experience like you have never gotten in your entire life.”
He wrapped her eyes with a blindfold he had also purchased at the hotel store. “Now lay here, baby, and let me show you how a real man treats a woman.” Her mind was spinning. What was he going to do next? The excitement is intoxicating. She couldn’t see, but she could hear the top of the wine bottle pop. Then she felt cold between her legs, then a rapid warmth. She could smell the wine in the air, it was then she realized he had poured some of the wine over her mound and licked it up. The mix of the cold and then the warmth was driving her over the edge. He paused for a moment, then felt something she couldn’t quite put her finger on. The sound was familiar. He covered her nipples then placed some on her lips. “Taste, baby,” he told her. She licked her lips. It was whipped cream. She loved whipped cream. “Open your mouth, baby.” She then tasted chocolate; her lips surrounded it. “Bite down, baby.”
She let out a moan. “Chocolate covered strawberries?”
“Oh yes, you’re magnificent at this game, darlin’.”
He then moved to her nipples, which stood erect and begging for him to suck them. Nothing sent her more over the edge than when a man sucked and caressed her breasts. She could feel his breath again on her skin. The closer he got, the warmer his breath felt; it was driving her insane. She bucked upwards trying to get him closer, but he pulled back.
“Lay still, baby. I am in control.” She lay back down, waiting for his touch. He sat straddling her now. She could feel his erection pulling against her pelvis, just above her shaven pussy. He rubbed his cock against her skin. Her skin was so soft and silky, almost sending himself over the edge. He was rock hard and ready, but he wanted to wait. He wanted her to beg him to take her. She was almost there, but he needed to give her a little bit more of a push. He leaned over to grab a cube of ice and rolled it over her skin. She arched and squirmed as he slowly rolled it from one end of her body to the other, coming to rest on her nipples. He encircled each. First the ice cube then heat, as he wrapped his lips around her nipple and sucked, cupping her breasts in his hands, kneading them and rubbing them over his face.
She felt like her entire body was on fire. She wasn’t sure how much more she could take. He leaned up and lay over the length of her, their bodies fit perfectly. He kissed her, his tongue swirling around meeting hers. She felt his erection grow stiffer and felt the pre-cum as it dripped from his tip. She begged him for release, begged him to enter her, begged him to take her over the edge. She needed it and she wanted it; she needed and wanted him now.
“Raleigh, baby, please. I beg you, please.”
He smiled and lifted his hips as if he were adjusting himself to enter her; she could feel the tip slide through her folds and touch her hole. He played with her some, placing the tip in just slightly then pulling out. Now her pleading became more frantic and wonton. He sat up, got off the bed and walked to the end of the bed. He stood for a moment taking in all he could, then untied each of her bindings. He wanted her free to do what she wanted while they made love. Feel to use her hands wherever they may take her.
When she sprang free, she jumped up and attacked his body. She threw him onto the bed and immediately sucked on his tip, sliding down the shaft. She looked up at him and said, “Two can play at this game, baby.” She lapped and sucked on him as he squirmed, begging to be inside her. She crawled over him, her pussy just inches away from his tip. She slid down just over the tip then back up again. She continued as he begged her to engulf him. He needed to be inside her. But unrelenting, she continued her teasing. Raleigh couldn’t take it anymore and he grabbed her and rolled her over. As she lay flat, facing him, they kissed more passionately than they ever had. Their hearts raced, beating in rhythm—they were one.
He kissed her neck, then as he looked into her eyes she said, “Baby, please. I want you now.” The butterflies in his stomach went crazy and he slid inside her for the first time. His body was on fire; he tingled all over. The way she felt on the inside was more amazing than he ever imagined. Her flesh engulfed him, accepting him. The moist, warm flesh tightened around him; they fit perfectly together. As he slid out and back in, his pace became steady and controlled. He could not climax until she did.
She begged him to go faster and deeper. Her moans made it difficult to control himself, especially when he felt her first orgasm. The warm wetness flowed over his cock and almost sent him over the edge, but he continued with steady rhythmic movements. When he stopped a moment to compose himself and not climax, she begged him to turn her over and take her from behind. It wasn’t long before her moans became louder and she shuddered as a second orgasm took her. She begged him to keep going, and he obliged, continuing his pace. He loved the way she looked bent down in front of him. He grabbed her breasts as he pounded harder. She begged him to, she liked it that way. He wasn’t sure he could hold off any longer. He wanted to face her when he climaxed, so he turned her over to face him.
When he entered her again, she looked at him and said, “Baby, I want us to cum together, so when I am close I will tell you.” Raleigh wanted to die right there. She was everything he had ever wished for. She was his future, and he wanted to give her a future full of happiness and children, lots and lots of children. She felt so good to him, the way they fit so perfectly together. It wasn’t long before he could sense she was getting close to orgasm. She moaned louder and pulled at him when she got close; he had figured that out. He continued to slide his manhood in and out, pounding her when she asked for it. He felt her get wetter, and then she almost screamed, “Baby, I am so close. Cum with me.” As soon as the words came out of her mouth he felt the sensation. It was building up, and he was ready to go. She grabbed his arms, pulling him closer to her as she yelled, “Baby, I’m coming!” It was then she felt the hot, warm semen filled her up. He shook and tensed as the waves of pleasure overtook him. She watched him as his face and body tensed, his cock twitching inside her. She loved it, and she loved him more than anything. When he came back to reality, they lay there in the massive bed, holding each other and collapsing into a deep sleep.
