“Yeah, I’ht Nice to meet you, Mark”

“You, too, Tammy,” I toss overit behind her

Katie told me all about her, but we have plenty of ti time to do that” I look down into her tear-filled eyes Her cheeks are flushed fro to one another

“I’ve been waiting a long time to have you do that tofrom ear to ear

“I wanted to surprise you, but da all dressed up like this?” I look down at her cleavage, wanting to taste it I lean into her neck, burying my face there I sined she would feel this good

“Nowhere now,” Katie ot my letter returned to me today”

I pull back, looking into her eyes “I couldn’t tell you when I was leaving It was a security risk Then I had to wait on paperwork so I could leave Parris Island Believe ot here as fast as I could”

She reaches up and cupsher lips This time it’s just as intense, but I feel her shockback, she looks up at ain I can’t see her I pull her to et to the top My voice is breathy, but I need to find a bed and lie with her Even if we don’t do anything, I need to hold her in ht” Her cheeks flame with her blush, but she leans in to kiss s steady as I carry her to her rooet to the bedroom, I climb onto the bed and lay her down I lie on top of her

Looking into her eyes, I brush a few strands of her gorgeous red hair away fro I just need to look at you”

She nods at htest smile I’ve ever seen “I can’t believe you’re here, Mark This is insane”

“It is” I feel et serious I need her to knohat I feel “I don’t want you to think I’m here for some quick hook up I came here because there’s nowhere else I want to be”

“I orried you didn’t want me anymore That maybe you were out and ere done But then I realized that you wouldn’t do that to ht?”

I feel relief in my chest, because I wanted to know if it felt that way for her, too “It is, baby Over the past year, you’ve come to mean more to me than anyone ever has I fell in love with your heart and your words long before I even heard your voice But when I did, I knew for sure that this was it” I rubaway stray tears “I love you, Katie I just needed to come here and tell you that So if you need o slow Whatever it’s going to take to keep you I can be patient” She laughs, and I clear my throat “I can try to be patient”

More tears fall as she laughs, clinging toher hands all over ht out the best in o You’veher s wrap around h my hair

I move froe and lick between her breasts “My God, you’re fucking gorgeous I just need to look at you” I sit back a little, looking down at her “You’re like some kind of pinup model from the forties sent to inspire World War II serviceles a little underyou?”

“Lady, if I didn't just retire, I’d sign up again just to follow you on tour”

“I think it’s ti our country all these years” She pulls at the he with my undershirt

Once I’m shirtless in front of her, she runs her hands all over ently brush my nipples and move down my stomach to my belt
