Chapter 16

Storm

all cried out, I got her to eat a little bit of dinner before helping her to bed. When I lied down next to her, she snuggled right up to me. I love this part of the night where I can have her in my arms. Sleep isn't coming easy for her, and I can tell her mind is racing.

"Jason knew who his family was," I tell her, hoping to calm her thoughts.

"What do you mean?"

"Jason had no illusions as to what kind of people his parents were. He knew they weren't good people, and it's a big part of why he asked me to help take care of you if anything happened. Even before you were pregnant, he knew they would do anything to go after the money the military would give you if he was killed in action. We talked a lot, and he knew the best place for you would be with me if anything came up."

River sniffled and buried her face in my chest. "I don't know what I would do without you, Storm."

I wrap my arms tighter around her, feeling the weight of her words settle in my chest.

"Well, you won't ever have to find out. I'm not going anywhere."

We lay there, but I can tell there is still more on her mind.

"Come on, get it all out," I say, rubbing her back.

"They came at you with PTSD..." she trails off.

It’s obvious she isn't sure how to ask what she wants to know.

"You don't leave war without a few scars. It's not pretty being over there and see what we have seen. But no, I don't have PTSD. I don't like fireworks, but they aren't a trigger of any kind. I got a clean bill of health other than a limited range of motion in my right leg, which is why I was medically discharged."

River nods, seemingly relieved. "I'm sorry if I'm prying. I just worry about you."

"And I appreciate that," I say with a smile, "but there's no need to worry. I'm perfectly fine."

We lie there in silence for a few moments before she speaks up again. "Do you ever regret leaving the military?"

I hesitate before answering, thinking back to all the things that led me to my decision to retire early. "No, I don't regret it. There are things that I miss about it, but it was time for me to move on."

River nods, understanding in her eyes. "Do you ever miss the adrenaline rush or the danger?"

I chuckle lightly. "Sometimes. But nothing compares to the adrenaline rush of being with you." I nuzzle into her neck, breathing in her sweet scent.

She giggles softly, and we settle into a comfortable silence. Though a need to let her know everything will be okay fills me.

"If it came down to it, I'd submit to evaluations again. But my VA medical and discharge paperwork should be enough.”

"Thank you. I hate I'm putting you through all this and depending so much on you."

I stroke River's hair soothingly. "Don't ever think that you're a burden, River. You and your child are my family now. I'll do whatever it takes to protect you both. If you had your own family, you would have moved home with them. How is this any different?"

She lifts her head to look at me with a huge smile on her face.

"Well, for one, you don't have sex with family..." she giggles.

I cut her off with a kiss before she can finish. Her lips part under mine, and her tongue darts out to meet mine. The kiss deepens, and soon we are both breathless, our bodies pressing close together. I can feel the heat from her body as she moves against me, her hands running over my chest and down to my waist.

I don't think I will ever get enough of this woman.

As our kiss intensifies, I roll River onto her back and hover over her, capturing her hands above her head with one hand while the other trails down her body. She moans softly as I trace the curves of her breasts, feeling her nipples harden under my touch. Pulling away from the kiss to look at her, I take in the sight of her flushed cheeks and parted lips, gasping for breath.

Without a word, I kiss the hollow of her neck, nipping at the skin and savoring the taste of her on my tongue. My hand continues its descent down her body until it reaches the waistband of her pants. I look up at her, silently asking for permission to continue. She nods eagerly, a hunger in her eyes that matches my own.

Slowly and with anticipation, I slide her pants down her legs along with her red, lacy panties. Her already soaked pussy is glistening, and seeing how wet she is for me turns me on even more.

Moving down her body, I press a kiss to the inside of each of her thighs. "So soft," I whisper, "and so wet for me?"

"Always for you," she moans.

"Good," I say with a smirk before running one finger along her slit. "I want to taste you."

Arousal is pulsing through my body, hardening my cock and making it difficult for me to think. I want nothing more than to bury it deep inside of her right now. But instead, I slowly lower myself until I'm face to face with her wet, pulsing core.

When I lick at her throbbing clit, she moans loudly. I love that I'm the one making her feel this way, that my touch brings her so much pleasure. Feeling even more turned on by the thought, I slip two fingers into her hot, tight pussy and work them inside of her at a steady pace. River's back arches off the mattress as I work them in and out of her.

"Oh, Storm. That feels incredible," she cries, her back still arched and hips moving in rhythm with my hand.

Then I pick up the pace, pumping my fingers into River harder as I lick her clit slowly. "Feels fucking incredible. I'm going to make you cum so hard, baby."

River moans louder as she moves against my hand. It's excruciatingly hot to watch a woman pleasured by my own hands, knowing that the sounds coming from her throat are caused by what I’m doing to her.

As she gets closer to an orgasm, she tenses and moves even faster against me. I feel her pussy tightening around my fingers as she gets closer to cumming, and it sends a surge of energy straight to my rock hard cock.

"Fuck, River. Cum on my fucking fingers," I growl as the final waves of her orgasm wash over her.

She swears and begs for me not to stop. Until the last of her orgasm has passed, I keep going with my fingers buried deep inside of her. Even when she relaxes against me, she is slow to catch her breath and is still panting. Moving up the bed, I press myself against her, making it easy for her to get used to my weight without breaking our intimate position.

I lean down to kiss her lightly while running my hands down her body. "Turn over," I instruct gently as I slip my fingers out of her pussy and lift off of her.

She turns over quickly onto her stomach, breasts pressed against the sheets and ass in the air. "Like this? Is this what you want?"

I run my hand over her pert little ass, leaning down close to whisper in a seductive voice in her ear. "Such a good girl. You're so wet and ready for me. So fucking hot."

Removing my own clothes quickly, I can feel the cool air on my cock, which makes it even harder. Ready now, I lean over River, running my hands over the curves of her ass as I press against her entrance gently.

"Tell me you want me," I command, desire racing through me.

River moans and presses back against me. "I want you so bad. Please, Storm. Don't make me wait anymore."

Moving my hips, I press the head of my cock into her entrance, slowly slipping into her tight, wet pussy. I enter her gently, savoring the tight heat around my cock as she adjusts to the size of me filling her up. When a low moan comes from River's throat, I don’t resist the urge to make them grow even louder, as I push myself into her harder until I'm balls deep inside of her.

Pausing, I stop to regain some control because she feels so fucking good.

"Shit, baby," I groan.

"Move, please," she begs me insistently.

Our cries increase in volume as I thrust into her, each one punctuated by a few choice words from my lips.

"God damn, River," I whisper as we start to move together in rhythm. "You feel so fucking good around my cock, baby. So tight."

"I need more," she whimpers, and my heart swells at her words, knowing that she's enjoying this as much as I am.

Picking up the pace, I fuck her harder while holding on to both of her hips for leverage.

Firmly, I grip onto her hips, my fingers digging into her skin as I drive myself deeper and faster into her. She cries out with each thrust, her body pressing back into me, meeting each of my thrusts.

"Fuck, your pussy is begging for it. You need to cum so bad, don't you?" I growl.

"Yes. Please Storm,"

At the sound of her moaning my name, I almost cum. To gain a semblance of control, I pull out of her. She whines at the loss of my cock. Changing positions, I lie down beside her and pull her over me so she is straddling my hips and in control. My cock has a mind of its own and wastes no time getting right back inside her.

"Ride me, River," I say gruffly. "Show me what you want."

River moves her hips in a slow, sultry manner that leaves me almost breathless. She grinds herself against me in a circular motion, sending jolts of pleasure through my body with each movement.

Her breasts bounce with the motion, and her baby bump on full display only makes this even more erotic.

River leans forward and wraps her arms around my neck as she moves faster. I can feel her pussy squeeze me with each thrust, desperate for an orgasm that only I can give. Holding onto her hips, I keep a steady rhythm as she continues to ride me. She twirls her fingers through my hair, moans filling the room as we both near our climaxes.

"I'm so close, Storm. It feels so good," she whispers. "Give me more."

Her words set off a spark in my body, and I thrust up into her harder than before, feeling her tightness around me as I pound myself inside of her wet pussy. My cock twitches, and I can feel that she's close, too, her breath coming out in quick gasps as she works towards her orgasm.

"Storm," she whispers in a pleading voice. "I'm going to cum."

I'm so close, too, that I reach around and play with her clit. Her head falls back in pure ecstasy as her hair waterfalls down her back, and she pushes her breasts out. Capturing one of her nipples in my mouth, I suck hard.

A strangled cry leaves her mouth, and her body contracts tight around me as she cums hard, my name spilling from her lips. Her orgasm gives me the permission I need to let go with my own. A few seconds later, I follow with a long groan against her chest.

When I collapse against the pillow behind me, River rolls onto her side beside me. I pull her close into my arms and kiss the top of her head, feeling only contentment instead of the uneasy feeling that usually follows after sex.

Right now, the only thought running through my mind is how perfect this feels.
