She looked up in surprise from the presentation she was working on when Adrian casually strolled into the bedroom. She must have been seriously concentrating on her work because she hadn’t heard him come into the apartment at all. Then again, Cory wasn’t expecting to see him strolling in here at midday. He wasn’t expected till tomorrow morning, as was the norm.
Both she and her jade green laptop were perched in the middle of the huge bed. They had been there the entire morning. Cory had to finish this in time for an early Monday morning video conference from Spain. It was a PowerPoint synopsis of all the company’s outreach initiatives for the past six months.
They were already two weeks behind on it, all the more reason why it suddenly became her job. But Cory felt proud doing it because it only proved that she did work for a socially responsible company that cared about its surrounding communities.
Since it was Friday and her day off, Cory decided she’d work assiduously on it from home. Also, Adrian wouldn’t be around to distract her either. Even though he was such an amazingly sweet distraction, it seemed like every time they were alone together they were constantly at it.
She was hell-bent and intent on finishing this task today because of the plans she had in-store for him over the weekend. Cory planned on surprising him with an early morning trip to Maracas, the most popular beach on the island. They both needed a day of relaxation after a very demanding work week. Then it would be time to model lingerie for her eager audience of one when they got home.
Remembering the last time they had been to the beach brought a smile to Cory’s lips. The sun was dipping below the horizon for the evening. The beach was quiet and secluded. She had wrapped her legs around Adrian’s waist as they weaved and bobbed in the incoming tide surges. And all it took was one kiss in the water.
She could still taste the saltiness of the ocean against Adrian’s lips. Maybe it was the sea, erotically caressing their scantily clad bodies or the natural beauty of their surroundings with the setting sun but it had been so difficult for them both to resist each other then. As the heat of their already entwined bodies became too much to bear, they both succumbed to their guilty pleasures right there in the ocean. It was a perfect end to a beautiful honeymoon for them.
Cory was shocked to see him now. “Adrian? What’re you doing here?” She immediately saved all the recent additions of her presentation onto her flash drive inserted in the laptop.
“Hey, baby. Something came up,” was Adrian’s response. He sat on the bed next to her and immediately began undressing.
Cory pushed aside the laptop, forgetting all about her work for a while. “Well, what is it?”
“Remember when I told you sometimes we may have to pursue wanted men who are on the run or hiding out in the forests, etcetera?”
“Yes?”
“Well, we just got a mission to do that. There’s a guy on the run wanted in connection for the murders of his wife and two children.”
“What? But where?”
“Deep south.”
“Oh, yeah, I think I heard Anna reading that story last night. The police held him for domestic violence and after he threatened to kill his wife and then he escaped police custody. So how long will you all take to find him you think?”
“We can’t be certain but I’m hoping two days max.”
“Two days?” Cory asked in total disbelief.
“Yeah. I’m sorry, Cory, but I was mandated to lead this exercise. You know soldiers lead when it’s in the forest. That’s one of our areas of expertise,” he explained. She started getting off the bed.
“Baby, where’re you going?” Adrian asked, now taking his boots off.
“I can’t believe it. These criminals are ruining my love life,” Cory announced. So much for her weekend plans now.
“But I’ll be back before you know it.” Adrian laughed. “Come here, baby.” It sounded like a command coming from Adrian.
“No!”
“Okay. Then I’ll just have to come over there and get you myself.” Adrian calmly crossed the bedroom floor. He was now bare-chested and stripped down to his boxers. Resting both hands up against the door and towering above her, the taut muscles of his chest and arms looking more pronounced than ever, Adrian stared down at her. “Cory, are you going to fight me on this?”
“No,” she calmly replied this time, changing her tone.
Without touching anywhere else on her body, he kissed her on her neck. “Good. Now, do you want me to beg you, is that it?” he whispered, nibbling her ear. “Because I can beg you if you want, Cory.”
“No! I have a presentation to finish, Adrian,” she blurted out, noticing his swelling erection.
Adrian kissed her on her lips, his hotness silencing her and still the only thing touching her body. He moved down to her cleavage, showering feather-light kisses along the top of her breasts.
Cory inhaled sharply. All it took was one look, one touch, one kiss from him to drive her totally insane. Why God, did this man have to be so damn sexy?
“Didn’t you get enough of this, this morning?” she asked.
“I did. But that was breakfast. It’s now lunch and I’m starving again. So what will it be, baby?” Adrian continued to tease her.
Cory groaned out aloud, “I think you need to stop this.”
Completely ignoring her, Adrian knelt down and showered soft kisses along her bare legs. When his lips reached the edge of the short denim skirt she was wearing, he paused. “Did I ever tell you, you have the most gorgeous legs I ever saw?”
“Yes, you did,” she squirmed. Adrian allowed his hands to freely roam upwards, caressing her inner thighs. Cory was trying her hardest but a soft moan still managed to escape her lips.
“Well, I feel like I always have to stop and appreciate beauty when I see it. And since you’re having so much fun, may I remove these?” He was referring to her thong underwear.
The last remnants of Cory’s resolve instantaneously melted away. She closed her eyes. “Yes.” It was more of a breathless whisper coming from her.
Adrian smiled. “I didn’t hear you, baby.”
“Si, por favor.” Cory said this much louder and with urgency in her voice.
“Damn, you sound so sexy rattling off Spanish. You know that?”
“Si,” she giggled this time.
Adrian swiftly removed her panties. Now he was free to work his magic. He hiked up her skirt around her waist.
“Urrr … I hate you for making me want you so much,” Cory complained but grabbed his head, urgently pulling him to her heated center. Adrian’s tongue delved into her sweetness, never disappointing her. “Oooh,” she crooned as she gyrated against the door.
“Do you like that, baby?” Adrian asked.
“No!” she lied.
“Liar! Tell me,” Adrian commanded. This time, he was more forceful with her, his hot slippery tongue hungrily enjoying its meal.
“Oh God, I love you so much,” Cory eventually screamed out.
“So … should I take that as a yes, then?” He grinned. Adrian knew exactly what he was doing to her.
“Yes,” Cory laughed. “You know I absolutely love it when you do that.”
With that Adrian lifted her and flung her effortlessly over his broad shoulders. Cory shrieked and giggled as he took her over to the bed and laid her down. “And I absolutely love to be inside of you,” he remarked.
“Yes, but my turn to be on top this time,” she insisted.
“Fine with me.” Adrian flipped positions with her on the bed so that Cory was now sitting seductively on his muscular thighs, her legs spread-eagled on either side of him. His eyes looked appreciative as she flashed him.
“So how much time do we have?”
“About one hour,” Adrian replied after consulting his watch.
Cory hurriedly removed his underwear before she complained, “That’s it? What’re we going to do in an hour, Adrian?”
“A lot. If only you’d stop talking and stop trying to resist me, woman.”
“Fine,” Cory huffed. Adrian willingly helped her get her camisole over her head. When her bare breasts were revealed, his hands automatically moved up to cup them.
“Oh and by the way, lieutenant. When I’m done with you in one hour, you’ll never want to go into the forests again.”
“Is that so? What, are you threatening me now, Cory?” Adrian stopped his caressing to jokingly ask her.
“No. I’m promising you.”
“Well, I don’t think I can complain ’bout that, baby,” he laughed.
“Oh, you won’t be complaining,” Cory explained as she turned her entire body in the opposite direction. She looked back at him flashing a naughty grin as she started moving her body, sensuously gyrating her hips down on his eager shaft.
“Oh … shit!” Adrian exclaimed. His hands now moved to cup her firm behind.
“So do you like that, baby?” Cory asked.
“Oh, hell yeah!”
Their lovemaking was nothing short of spectacular for the short space of time they had together. Yet, it felt like they had all the time in the world. After she enjoyed giving him what she called the “island workout of his life,” Cory quickly surrendered to Adrian in sweet abandon, only then allowing him to take total possession of her body. They left the bed and were making wild, passionate love against the wall, against the door, anywhere that had a stable backing.
“Cory!” Adrian called her name breathlessly. Her legs were wrapped tightly around his waist, her nails sinking into his flesh as he repeatedly drilled into her against the closet. He exploded when she screamed his name, too, causing them both to climax.
After a couple more orgasms like that, Cory must have dozed off. She was physically exhausted after their bout of loving now and from earlier this morning. When she stirred on the bed, Adrian had already showered and changed into fresh military fatigues. Her mind momentarily flashed back to just a few hours ago. Cory had woken before him and proceeded to jump his bones. Adrian awoke to some early morning action between the sheets. She didn’t want her purchase to go to waste so they picked up where they left off last night. Even though it was at five in the morning, Cory had worked that lingerie, blowing his mind over and over in it.
“Hey, sleepy head.” He was strapping back his pistol into the holster on his leg.
“Hey,” Cory responded groggily. “When did I fall asleep?”
“Probably just as soon as I was finished with you,” Adrian grinned, buttoning up his camouflage jacket. “So hopefully that would be sufficient to last you two days, right?”
“Mmmm,” Cory smiled. “I’ll miss you so much, baby.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll try my best to get this guy as quickly as possible … for your sake.”
“I sure hope so.”
Adrian sat on the bed and tried but in vain to smooth her hair back. He kissed her gently.
“Get some rest, baby. And Cory … be good till I get back.”
“I’ll try my very best,” she groaned when Adrian started heading for the door. “Adrian, wait!”
He stopped just as he was about to turn the lock.
“You were saying to me last night that you had something to tell me. You started but then your phone rang with Anna and then I fell asleep I think,” Cory was saying. “So what was it?”
Adrian’s body tensed. “Baby, it’s a long story. I’ll tell you when I get back, okay?”
“You promise?”
“Yep. Boy Scouts honor. Soon as I get back.”
Cory smiled as Adrian blew her a kiss and opened the door to leave. She wondered what his story was. She couldn’t imagine Adrian doing anything crazy, other than what she supposed came with being in the military. So she knew it couldn’t be anything like that. Her next guess was an affair. It couldn’t have been that either she reasoned. Cory knew by the time she was finished with him, he didn’t have the strength to satisfy another woman. Besides, he loved her too much. He would never do anything to hurt her. But whatever it was would have to wait till he got back.
When Cory heard the front door closing, it signaled the first time since being married to Adrian that she wasn’t going to see him for two entire long days.
