The deployment was unbearably long. I was lonely. Careless. I didn’t know what to do except give myself back.

He offers me a glass of wine, but I can’t. I so want to feel his gaze, but I flip the lamp off before the dress falls from my body.

His palms envelop swollen breasts, fuller than he remembered. I trap him with a kiss before his hands find my hips, and I roll over to my knees. He can thrust as deep as he likes…for now.

He'll do the math soon enough. But not tonight.
