Three months later
Skye turned her head again, hearing the door to McKenzie’s opening. She hoped it would be Trevor; no luck. Two months, it’d been two months since she’d talked to him. She just wanted to hear his voice or, better yet, see him.
They’d talked on the phone every night when they first got home and sometimes twice a day. Trevor informed his Commander he wouldn’t be staying in the Navy. Ten days later, Trevor was asked to assist on the planning of a mission, the one that had been canceled. She still remembered the phone call.
When he’d told Skye about it, she couldn’t believe that with only four days in the service left they would want him for some mission. “Why? You only have four days left. How long will you be gone or are you staying in? Will I be able to talk to you while you’re gone?”
“Skye, baby, calm down for me. Listen. I started this mission so they want my input in order for the team to finish it. I’m hoping it will only be for two weeks, one month tops. It depends on what happens in the field. And no baby, you won’t be able to talk me. I wish.” She heard the strain in his voice.
She knew she was acting like a child getting a new toy taken away. “This is not fair. You did your time and put in your papers. Now they want you for one more. Did they forget that you were seriously hurt on the last one?” Taking a deep breath, she continued. “Can’t you tell them ‘No; find someone else’? Four days. You are out in four days, and we get to be together.”
“Saying ‘No’ unfortunately is not an opinion.” He chuckled. “Let’s talk about something else. How did your boss take your leaving?”
“As you can imagine, not well. He said he could give me a new office. I finished the program with my therapist, so now I’ll be seeing her every three months,” she told Trevor. “I’ll miss you. Please, come home.”
He sighed. “If something does go wrong, and I have to stay longer, my dad is the contact, and he knows to call you. I’ll be safe and come home to you.” He paused as someone said something in the background. “I have to go. Please know I’ll see you soon.”
“I’ll see you soon. Be careful and safe,” Skye replied.
Feeling a touch on her shoulder, she looked up to see her dad. “He’s fine. It’s just a little delay.”
“How did yo…?” she started to ask.
“Because, my sweet baby girl, you’ve done nothing but stare at the door or your phone. How many times have you called his family? You received a text from him saying he’d gotten back from the field, but had to go through discharge paperwork and see his therapist one more time,” her dad reminded her.
She faced him fully. “I know. But, I haven’t heard anything. I texted his old sister, Susan, this morning.” Smiling at him, she said, “I’m just getting to know them. That’s all.”
He laughed. “You keep telling yourself that. Plus, they…”
“They enjoy talking to you.” Skye swung around, and there, standing a couple of feet away, was Trevor. She couldn’t get her feet to move; she was in shock that he was in front of her. She was frozen in place.
“Go on, girl.” Her father gave her a little push.
With tears shining in her eyes, she rushed the couple of steps and just about knocked him back. A man who looked a lot like Trevor stopped him from moving. “You should’ve called. I could’ve had a welcome back dinner or something,” Skye told him while she hugged him and buried her face against his neck, breathing in his scent. “I’m glad you’re here.”
“Me too. I wanted to surprise you.” Lifting her face, he kissed her deeply. Then she heard everyone in the place clapping and cheering.
A clearing of the throat made both of the turn. “Son, we have only had a chance to talk to her on the phone. So, it would be nice to officially meet her.”
Embarrassment heated Skye’s insides. “You brought your parents?”
A woman came forward, moving Trevor out of her way. “Oh dear, you look lovely. Doesn’t she look lovely, Carl?”
“Why don’t we take this to the other room,” Skye’s father, Neil, suggested.
Everyone followed, and Skye couldn’t stop looking at Trevor. She wanted to make sure this wasn’t a dream. Trevor must’ve read her mind. “I’m here, baby.” Then he moved his arm around her.
“Amber is on her way. I have Ty covering for me. You must be Trevor.” Fintan held out his hand. “It’s great to finally meet you. Been wondering if she imagined you.”
“No, I’m real. These are my parents, Carl and Paula. My sisters will be here this weekend.” Trevor looked at Skye.
After receiving hugs from his parents, she introduced her family. “My parents, Neil and Shea. My older, but not wiser brother, Fintan.”
“I’m here. I’m here.” Amber rushed in, breathing as if running for her life.
“And this is my brother’s fiancée, Amber,” Skye finished.
“Hi. Hello. Did I miss anything else? No? Good. Trevor, great to finally met you. Skye hasn’t stopped talking about you for three months.” Amber just had to drag out the finally.
She gave her a friendly shove. “Stop telling on me. We are supposed to gang up on them, not the guys and you against me. You’re almost worst than him.” Skye pointed to her brother, who faked hurt.
“If everyone will tell me what you want to drink, I’ll order them,” Fintan, always the bartender, offered.
Sitting at a table, everyone talked and joked around. After eating some appetizers and finishing their drinks, they walked two doors down to have dinner. At the restaurant, the talked about family and work. They called it a night after having dessert.
Trevor leaned in. “Stay with me at the hotel.”
“I don’t have a change of clothes and need to get my car,” Skye replied.
“We can get your car and drive it to the hotel, and I got you a Navy t-shirt before I left.” Trevor explained.
Skye’s father spoke up. “I’ll drive your car back home and will bring it back tomorrow.”
After saying good night to her parents, and getting a promise to have a family breakfast together, they headed to the hotel two blocks down the road with Trevor’s parents. Skye really hoped they would be alone for the rest of the night, but didn’t say anything.
Entering the elevator, his parents hit number two, and Trevor hit number four. His father turned to face them when the elevator opened. “I’ll see you two in the lobby first thing tomorrow. Skye, I’m glad to have met you.”
“Night Dad, Mom. See you both in the morning,” Trevor said at the same time Skye replied, “It’s a pleasure. Good night.”
When the elevator opened again on the fourth floor, he rushed down the hall to his room. Entering the room, Trevor pushed her against the wall, crushing his mouth to hers. She loved the feel of his hands on her.
Skye slid out of her shoes, and Trevor pulled away, guiding her to the king-sized bed. The both rushed to get each other out of their clothes. She wanted to feel him skin to skin. His shirt dropped to the floor, and Skye’s eyes roamed over his muscled chest. “Trevor.”
“I need to be inside you.” Trevor kept undressing and, naked, sat on the bed, pulling her between his legs. Reaching up, he unsnapped the front clasp of her bra and moved the cups. He ran his hands over her breasts, feeling her nipples harden under his palms.
Trevor moved his hands to her waist. Leaning in, he placed open-mouth kisses on her abdomen. His hand moved down to her hips, pushing her pants down at the same time. “Spread your legs, Skye.”
Skye’s legs shook. “Trevor, I won’t last.”
“I know.” He had one hand on her ass cheek, while the other moved up her inner thigh. Between her legs, a throbbing need sprang to life as he slid a single finger inside. “God, you’re so wet. Don’t move, baby. Let me just feel you.” His touch flamed her body from breast to thigh, and she craved more. Always more from him.
When he added a second finger and his thumb to her clit, Skye moved her hands to his shoulder to stay upright. She needed more, so she moved up and down on his hand while he moved in and out. She froze when a finger on his other hand moved to her anus. As he moved everything at one time, Skye felt her inner walls tightening and her ass squeezing his finger, which was now fully inside her. “Trevor, I am so close. God, that feels good.” Her breathing came out faster, and her legs began to shake.
“That’s it. My hand is wet.” He thrust his fingers hard inside her pussy and curled them to hit her g-spot as the finger in her ass moved half way out before thrusting back inside. “Let go. Come for me.”
With that, Skye’s legs quivered uncontrollably; she squeezed his fingers and screamed, not caring who heard her. Trevor removed his fingers from her pussy and replaced them with his mouth. He licked and sucked at her and nipped at her swollen folds. “Hmmm. You taste of honey.”
Falling to her knees, she reached out to stroke his erection and licked the drop of fluid that appeared on the tip. He held her wrist, stopping her. “I want to taste you.” He released her at that statement.
Skye closed her hand around his erection, stroking and twisting him from root to tip. With her other hand, she cupped his balls and caressed them. Trevor spread his legs and pumped into her hand. When she squeezed gently, a drop of fluid appeared at the tip, and she leaned in again to taste him.
When her tongue licked across the head of his cock, his hand went to her hair. “Skye. Your mouth,” he moaned. “Harder, faster.” She gave him what he wanted, moved her mouth faster and sucked hard. Bobbing her head, she hollowed her cheeks and squeezed the base with her hand. “Fuck.”
Then Trevor came down her throat. After, Trevor pulled her to him and kissed her deeply. They could taste each other on their tongues. She could feel him getting aroused again. Moving around him, she crawled up the bed. “Come to me; I need you inside me.”
Trevor moved between her legs as he stroked his cock, his other hand cupping her pussy. Then she felt his erection pressing into her sex, and her inner muscles gripped the head of his cock. Her back arched toward him; she wanted his mouth on her breast.
His hand on her breast, he pinched her nipples, making her thrust up. “Relax your muscles and let me in.”
“I can’t. I need you now.” Wrapping her legs around his waist, she pulled him toward her. That’s when he pushed inside her pussy.
He moved his finger and started sucking on her breast, and oh how she loved when his mouth found her breasts. He intertwined their fingers above her head. He slowly thrust into her with long steady stokes.
She couldn’t stand it anymore. Needing more, she tried to release her hand, but Trevor wouldn’t let her go. “Tell me what you want.”
“I… I want harder and faster.” She rocked up.
Trevor pulled out and slammed into her repeatedly. She dug her nails into his hands and tightened her legs. “Yes.” The pleasure built up so fast it took her by surprise. Glancing into his beautiful hazel eyes, she saw love and passion. She hadn’t realized her hands were free until one went to his forearm and the other to his neck, pulling him to her for another toe-curling kiss.
Pulling away from the kiss, they both came together. She’d only experienced such intense orgasms with Trevor. She was glad when he moved to her side so they could calm their racing hearts.
Skye lay with one leg over his and her head on his shoulder. When she got her mind together, she placed a hand on his chest. “Tell me.”
He sighed. “The Commander requested I stay and help plan the mission since Radio and I initially did all the recon. They all deployed, knowing what should be done. Radio and I had a suspicion who the leak might be, but didn’t want to report it until we knew for sure. Anyway, we completed the mission, but on the way back to the base, they hit enemy fire. The thing is, the new team lead and I changed the return trip, and only the Commander, Radio, and one other person knew. So, we had the proof needed. I stayed the last week to see my therapist, to finish the last of my paperwork, and to make sure everyone made it back. Plus, I wanted to say good-bye.”
At that, she placed a hand over his heart and looked up at him. “What next?”
“Not much. No one got seriously hurt this time. The new lead and Radio will have to give written and verbal testimony. I heard from Dan, that’s the new team lead, when I got to my parents: the leak cracked and confessed. I can’t say anymore and probably told you too much anyway.”
Understanding, she curled up next to him, but had one more question. “How are you doing? In here.” She lightly patted the middle of his chest.
“Honestly, the storm that was constantly boiling inside isn’t there.” He moved his hand over hers, and she felt his other tug her hair lightly to look at him one more time. “And that is because of you, Skye. Your love and trust in me has calmed the storm within. You have me completely. I hope you can deal with that because I’m not leaving you again.”
She smiled. “I love you too. I’m not going anywhere. But, we do need to find someplace to live. I’m not going to stay with my parents and have them hearing us. And I refuse to stay with my brother; no way in hell do I need to hear my brother and Amber and vice versa.”
“We’ll look tomorrow.” With that, they both chuckled. “I don’t want your parents or mine within hearing range. Why do you think we are on different floor now?”
He tightened his arms around Skye. Caressing her jaw, Trevor lifted her chin. “I love you. I don’t want to be without you. You are my peace and calm. You stopped the storm, and I don’t want to lose that. You are kind, caring, and beautiful.” He got a play slap on his chest for that one, and he chuckled. “Marry me and make me the happiest retired and most blessed soldier.”
Rising up, she leaned on his chest. “Really?” At his nod, she said, “Yes!”
He took her mouth in a demanding kiss. “Good. We will celebrate with the family this weekend. I love you baby.”
“I love you too, now and always.” Skye smiled at him, and this time, they made love slowly.
