Her moan turned into a groan, and she shivered. Before I could continue perusing her body with my mouth, Savannah spun around and started unbuttoning my uniform.
Her hands moved quickly, the look of hunger in her eyes likely mirroring my own. I let her strip me out of my jacket, shirt, and tie, leaving the top half of my body exposed. She ran her hands over my chest, fingering the strands of hair that resided there.
Meanwhile, I pushed her dress to the floor before moving to relieve her of her panties.
“I hope you weren’t planning on getting to sleep anytime soon,” I growled. “This won’t be over quickly.” I took both of her wrists in one hand, bringing her hands behind her back.
“It’d better not be over fast,” she said breathlessly.
I leaned in and kissed her again before pushing her to the bed. With my free hand, I reached between her legs, checking to see if she was ready. A sound between a growl and a moan came out of my mouth. The feel of the wetness between her thighs brought alive something animalistic inside of me.
“Ace…” she moaned with a lost, begging look in her eyes.
I had no choice but to answer that call. I peeled out of the rest of my clothing and pulled out my wallet, opening it with one hand.
The condom wrapper stood no chance against my rush to get inside of Savannah. Once sheathed, I brought her legs to wrap around my hips as I hovered above her. One final look was all the notice I gave before leaning in, licking her lips, and then thrusting inside of her, all in one move.
Savannah’s back bowed almost entirely off the bed. I should’ve been more patient, given her more time to adjust to me, but my patience was hanging by a thin thread.
Still, I didn’t move for long seconds, waiting to gauge Savannah’s reaction to my invasion.
“Ace, it’s okay. You can…you can,” she said, out of breath.
That was all I needed to pull almost all of the way out before surging back in again. God, she felt so fucking good.
“Fuck.” I didn’t have the words to verbalize everything that ran through my body. Instead of talking, I lifted her legs from my waist to my shoulders. I hugged her thighs to my chest with both arms and pushed in even deeper, over and over.
Savannah dug her fingernails into my arms. I didn’t feel any pain—only pure bliss from being inside her once again.
I released her thighs and positioned her legs back over my shoulders before leaning down. Savannah immediately sat up and wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me into a kiss.
I allowed the feelings of joy that I’d done my best to suppress the last time I had her in this position to bubble to the surface. I stared down at Savannah, and only two words came to mind.
My wife.
Those two words shook me down to the depths of my soul, and I roared out my orgasm. Every inch of my body was overwhelmed with warmth. It almost entirely pushed out the coldness that’d settled around my heart for a decade and a half. Since the day she walked out on me.
This is only temporary.
My subconscious, evidently the more rational part of my brain, reminded me. Whatever this was between Savannah and me wouldn’t last beyond the next few months. She’d come back to Harlington for one reason only: a divorce.
Even as her pussy muscles tightened around my cock, I fought to hold on to that knowledge. Savannah didn’t want this marriage to go beyond the next few months.
Neither did I.
My one goal was to forget her.
“Ace,” she crooned out my name while her body shivered from the aftershocks of her orgasm. The sound of her calling my name during sex was too familiar.
Too intimate. It had me slipping back into something that I promised I would never fall back into.
She gasped as I withdrew from her. Her eyes, half-closed, watched me as I pushed away from the bed in the direction of the bathroom.
I slammed the door shut and pressed a palm to the wall, forcing myself to gather my fraught emotions. I’d done a ton of shit since Savannah left me. I made it through college, Air Force ROTC, pilot training, and had seen combat.
But none of it stripped me bare the way being inside of her did.
“Pull your shit together, Cannon,” I mumbled to myself.
