Saved By A Soldier (Love Conquers Life Book 1) (14 page)

“Carter,” I pause for a second, “Carter, I want to come all over your tongue.”

He smiles up at me and starts liking my clit hard and fast. I’m so wound up that in a matter of minutes I’m already close again. I start grinding my hips against his face, but he puts his hands on my hips to hold me still. His tongue slips back into my pussy and his thumb goes to my clit, rubbing it as I explode all over his tongue. God, I love when he does that.

“Carter, yes! I’m coming.”

He moans against my pussy as he laps up my juices. He gets up for a condom but I stop him, wanting to taste him.

“It’s getting late,” he says, “and I need to be buried deep inside of you. Please let me.”

I bite my lip and nod shyly because I love that he loves my pussy so much. He leans down to kiss me gently, gets a condom, and rolls it into place.

“I hope you’re ready for me because I really want to feel you.”

“I’m ready.”

He lines himself up and slams himself deep inside of me. He slowly picks up the pace, ensuring I feel the full length of his huge cock gliding in and out of me. We fit so well together.

“Carter, please give me more,” I beg.

He starts pumping himself into me harder and faster. I wrap my legs around his hips changing the angle slightly as he continues to slam into me.

“Patty, I can’t hold on much longer and I want to feel you milking my cock.” A second later I’m screaming his name as another orgasm tears through me, shaking my body as I milk him for all he has.

“Damn, woman, I think you’re trying to kill me. I thought I was going to have to stop for a minute.”

He pants on top of me, pressing me into his new mattress with his warm, strong body. “I love how you feel on top of me like this.”

He looks down at me with a smile. “That’s funny because this is my favorite place for you.”

He slips himself out of me to get rid of the condom. He comes back and slides into bed behind me, wrapping his arm around me, and we both fall asleep.

***

I’m half asleep when I realize I’m hearing something. It’s grunting and groaning, and I realize it’s Carter. I lay in his bed listening to him mumble in his sleep, unsure if I should wake him or not. I didn’t know he had nightmares like this and I don’t recall hearing him have one at my house. He has such a pained look on his face, I decide to wake him from it because it’s killing me to see him this way. He looks so upset and is soaked in sweat. I reach over and gently shake him.

“Carter, it’s Patty, wake up. You’re having a nightmare.” The gentle motion does nothing to bring him out of it. I shake him a bit harder, but when I do he jumps up, covers my mouth, and pins me to the bed.

“Who are you and what do you want?” He has pure rage in his eyes and I’m scared. I don’t know what to do. He has no idea who I am, and I have no idea if he’s still sleeping. I lay there completely still, afraid if I move he’ll think I’m trying to hurt him.

Suddenly he snaps out of it. “Oh my God, Patty, I’m so sorry. Did I hurt you?” He climbs off me, letting me up.

I climb out of bed a bit shaken for a minute. “What the hell was that all about, Carter?”

He sighs and sits on the side of the bed. “I’m sorry. I should have warned you, but I didn’t know how to bring it up. I have nightmares. It wasn’t an issue because I haven’t been in a relationship since I’ve been home, and I had no idea I would react that way. I was afraid I’d wake you but I didn’t know I would pin you like that, I’m so sorry.”

“Have you spoken to anyone about it?”

“Only Derek. I tried going to counseling, but they had no idea what it’s like. The things we go through can’t be understood unless you’re there. They act like they get it just because they’ve heard stories and studied books.”

I climb back in bed to hold him, “I’m sorry you had to go through that. We need to figure something out because you scared the shit out of me.”

“I know, and I’m so sorry. Derek told me I should bring it up to you and he thinks that is part of the reason I have them. I am internally stressing over the fact that I hadn’t told you. Maybe now that you know, they’ll go away.”

“You have to promise me that if they don’t you’ll get help, Carter.”

He nods. “I promise. If the nightmares continue now that you know I’ll get help. Just please be patient with me.”

“Come on, snuggle me so we can try to get a little more sleep before we have to get up and start our busy day.”

He spoons me from behind, pulling me close, kisses the top of my head, and says, “I’m so sorry, Patty.”

I take his hand, giving him a squeeze to let him know it will be okay, and I drift back off to sleep.

Chapter 15

Carter

I’ve spent most of the night watching Patty sleep. I feel so bad that I attacked her in my sleep. I only remember bits and pieces of the dream. I remember being on patrol when suddenly someone grabbed me. I think that’s why I pinned Patty down. I felt like I was being attacked. Although I don’t want to admit it to her, I’m afraid to go back to sleep because I don’t want to hurt her or scare her again. I’m going to have to talk to Derek or someone who’s been in my shoes about ways to have her wake me if I’m having a nightmare. I keep dozing off for short periods of time but when I start to feel myself going into a deep sleep I wake up again. I can’t seem to shut my mind off enough for me to sleep peacefully and I know it’s because I’m worried about her. I love having her in my bed, but I would never forgive myself if I ever hurt her.

I finally doze off, dreaming about Patty and her hot body until I wake at about seven-thirty in the morning, this time with a massive hard-on. I decide it’s time to wake my princess for some morning loving. She’s lying beside me fully naked and it makes me smile. I glide my hand up her leg, stopping at her sweet pussy. I gently press my fingers through her folds, discovering that she’s already wet for me. It makes me wonder if she was dreaming about me. I lower my lips to her nipple and gently suck it into my mouth. I roll my tongue over it and she moans slightly as it hardens in my mouth. I gently slide two fingers into her now fully soaked pussy. I curl my fingers inside of her, working her up to an orgasm.

I’m not sure she’s even awake yet until she says, “Good morning to you too.” I continue curling my fingers deep inside her. “My God, Carter, you’re going to make me come.”

“That’s my plan, sweetie.” I continue to finger fuck her with one hand and I use my other to massage her clit. Her hips start moving in rhythm with my fingers and just when she’s about to explode, I stop.

“Carter, what are you doing?” She’s panting, upset that I’m making her wait.

“What’s wrong, sweetie, were you about to come?”

“Um, yeah,” she says, totally frustrated.

I start pumping my fingers in and out of her again, but this time I lower my mouth to massage her clit with my tongue. She’s so worked up she explodes all over my fingers as I lick her clit. I can feel her insides tightening around me as she screams my name and rides it out.

She rolls over on top of me and lowers her mouth to mine in a passionate kiss. She breaks it to kiss her way to my ear, and whispers, “I’m going to ride you. I hope you’re ready.” She then lifts herself so she can slide my length deep inside her. She lifts her ass and slams back down on top of me. I grab her hips and start meeting her thrust for thrust. God she feels so good.

“Carter, I’m going to come again.”

“Give it to me, sweetie.” I slam into her one more time and she does just that. Her muscles tighten around me and I find my release. Only after we finish I realize we didn’t use a condom.

“Shit, Patty, we were so in the moment, we didn’t use a condom.”

She collapses on top of me telling me that she’s on the pill and that’s the first time she’s ever done it without a condom. I tell her it is for me too and that I can show her all my medical records if she wants. She smiles down at me, “I trust you, Carter, but we should still probably be careful just in case.”

“I agree, but damn that felt good. You have the sweetest pussy I’ve ever had.”

She giggles and buries her face in my chest. I roll her over and tell her I’m not done yet. I start kissing her and we begin round two.

I finally let her out of bed so we can clean up and get something to eat before we run around for the day. Thanks to the food she picked up yesterday, we have muffins for breakfast. I have absolutely no food in this house. Patty comes into the kitchen dressed and ready to go. I lean in to give her a kiss before I pull out her chair. Removing a piece of paper from her laptop bag she says, “So what do you want to stock in this place?”

“Food.”

“Funny, Carter. What would you like for food?”

“You know, the basics, bread, cereal, milk, soup, eggs.” I bite into my muffin.

She rolls her eyes. “This is going to be fun.”

I shrug. “Write what you need for tonight and we’ll decide on everything else while we are there.”

I can already tell she likes order in her life and not having a list does not show order. I’m the same way with many things but not having a grocery list doesn’t bother me.

“It’ll be fine.”

She nods and continues making a list for tonight. “I know what I need for tonight, but you don’t have a roasting pan that’s big enough so I need to pick one up while we’re out.”

“No problem. We’ll go to that huge grocery store up the street that sells everything. They’re a bit more expensive, but it’ll be worth it to only make one stop.” She taps the pen on the counter like she’s debating something, but of course, I have no idea what’s going on in that pretty head of hers. “Talk to me, Patty.”

“I guess I’m just a little nervous about tonight. I want things to be perfect for our parents. It’s our first dinner with us all together. Our parents have been friends for years, what if they kept us apart for a reason and this all blows up in our face?”

“Sweetie, slow down. I’ve spoken to my parents and they’ve made no mention about being upset or having a problem with us being together. Has your father?”

She shakes her head. “I guess I’m just scared because I’m starting to really like you and dealing with my mom is enough. I want my dad’s support, you know?”

“I get it, and I promise to be on my best behavior.” I try to give her a playful smile to lighten the mood. I bump her and she looks up at me trying to fight her smile but she’s failing miserably.

“Let’s get the groceries over with so we can come home and I can make love to you in the shower before they get here.”

She shakes her head. “You’re insatiable.”

“Only when it comes to you.” I kiss her on the forehead.

She climbs off the stool and heads over to the coat closet to get her jacket. On the way out I let the doorman know that we’ll be back shortly. He opens the door for us and says, “Have a good day.”

***

We arrive back to my apartment two hours later with what feels like endless bags of food. We have bought everything from breakfast food, to meat for the freezer, and lunch meat for the fridge. This wonderful woman of mine has made sure I have everything I need to make healthy lunches and make easy stuff for myself if she isn’t here giving me cooking lessons.

Trying to decide where everything is going to go was a bit harder than I thought. We get everything put away and cleaned up in time for us to relax a bit before our parents come over this evening. I love the take charge attitude that comes from this five foot seven woman with a big heart. As she’s putting the milk, beer, and wine in the fridge, I can’t help but place my hand on her sweet little ass.

“Carter,” she says, pretending to be frustrated.

When she turns around, I close the door to the fridge, pinning her against it. “What, sweetie?” Before she can answer I lower my lips to hers and she moans into my mouth. I pull away, resting my forehead against hers. “Thank you again for all of your help.”

She grins up at me. “You’re so welcome.”

Rubbing my hands up the sides of her body, I lower my lips to her ear and whisper, “I need to feel you under me one more time before we deal with our parents.” She sucks in a breath in as I gently bite her earlobe and then kiss down her neck to her collarbone. “Please tell me I can have you one more time.”

She moans as my hand slides under her shirt and squeezes her nipple. She grabs my hand and tugs me off in the direction of my room.

“I’ll take that as a yes.”

I scoop her up and carry her to the side of my bed. When I place her down in the middle I kick my shoes off and lay on top of her, looking straight into her eyes and thinking about how scared I am that I care for her so much in such a short period of time. I’m afraid to tell her so I decide to show her. I pour all of my feelings into this kiss, hoping she realizes what I feel for her. When I break the kiss to look into her eyes again, she smiles at me and in that moment I feel like she knows just how I feel.

I lift her shirt and pull her breasts from the cups of her bra so I can suck her tiny pink nipples into my mouth, listening for that sensuous moan I love, and she doesn’t disappoint. I glide my tongue slowly down the center of her flat belly over her belly button to the top of her leggings. I peel them down her body and she lifts her ass to help me get them off. Once I have them off I lick and kiss my way back up her leg until I reach her pussy, then I kiss my way back down the other leg just to be a tease.

She growls, letting me know she’s not happy and I can’t help but chuckle. “Want something?”

“Yes, please,” she says in the sweetest voice she can muster.

I strip off my jeans and boxers, climbing up her body and sticking only the tip of my cock inside her while looking into her eyes. “Is this what you want?”

She smiles and nods, trying to move her hips so I’ll go deeper inside her. I slowly start sliding my cock deeper and deeper until she’s taken my full length. Her eyes close in pleasure. I gradually pick up the pace and when I know she’s getting close I tell her to open them for me.

Once she’s looking into my eyes I start slamming my cock deeper into her so she’ll give me what I want.

“Carter,” she moans, fighting not to close her eyes.

“Give me what I want,” I growl and she does, her orgasm shaking her entire body. Her pussy tightens around my cock, sucking every last drop of my seed from me.

***

I find Patty in the kitchen going to town chopping onions and getting the pork ready to go into the oven.

“How can I help, sweetie?”

She looks up at me with the sweetest smile. “Can you peel potatoes for me?”

“I can do that.” I get the peeler as well as the potatoes we picked up from the store today and get to work.

I notice we are silent as we’re doing our thing in the kitchen. It’s quiet, but it’s a comfortable silence. We move well together as we work around each other getting things done. I’m about halfway through the potatoes when I decide we need to try my new surround sound system.

“Would you like a little music?” I ask her and she simply nods as she’s placing a piece of meat in the pan. After the click of a few buttons we have soft music playing all around us. I go back to finish the potatoes because I know she’s almost ready for them and just as I’m doing the last one she’s rinsing them and placing them in the pan.

“Just so you know, student,” she says to me in a teasing tone, “all I’ve done is put meat, potatoes, onion, and asparagus in a pan.”

“What’s next, my sexy cooking teacher?”

“I bought this packet of seasoning. We need your big measuring cup and you’re going to add the oil and water, then we add this packet, mix it with a fork, and pour it over the top. That’s it.”

“Really, it’s that easy?”

“Somewhat. You have to make sure you don’t overcook it because if you do your pork is going to be dry and that’ll suck. We’ll set a timer and we bought a thermometer, so we’ll be fine.”

“Maybe I should try getting some cookbooks. I’ve never tried doing that before.”

She shrugs. “I can look for some for you,” she says, opening the oven door and sliding in the foil covered roasting pan.

“Just the Way You Are”
by Bruno Mars comes on and I walk over to her, taking her hand and pulling her into my arms. She wraps her arms around my waist and I start swaying with her to the music, looking into her eyes.

Although I can’t sing too well, I whisper some of the words to her. I want her to know how beautiful I think she is. She blushes and looks at the floor.

“Don’t look down, beautiful.”

“I’m sorry, I’ve just never had anyone talk to me or treat me the way you do. You look at me and see more than the plain, boring book nerd I’ve always been.”

She looks down again, embarrassed to call herself a book nerd, but I take her chin and lift it so she’s forced to look into my eyes. “There’s nothing plain or boring about you and I’m sorry that no one has ever shown you how beautiful, smart, and sexy you are.”

She sighs. “I guess I just hadn’t found the right man. I was with Ben for almost a year, but he cared more about how he looked in public then our relationship. I tried so hard to care about him, but he was such a jerk. I slept with him hoping it would bring us closer together, but he never cared about my feelings or taking care of me. It was always about him and his needs. I finally realized that I was with him more for my mother than myself. When he snapped and hit me, that was my out and I took it.”

I hug her tenderly. “Patty, I know when I jumped on you in bed last night it must have scared you and I didn’t mean to. Please know I’ll never hurt you intentionally like that.”
