"It's close to DC. What, five or six hours? I could fly if I needed to or take a train. So it would work for me."
His lips spread into a wide smile that made his eyes softer. She felt like she could fall into his brown eyes and stay there forever.
No question, she'd fallen in love with this man. It happened so fast that it was frightening. She shouldn't be this into him, but she was.
Link wantedto spend his life protecting and loving Ansley. His heart felt so big and fragile in her hands. He knew that even though he was strong and could fight off the enemy, Ansley could easily crush him if she wanted to.
The realization made him feel vulnerable, but it also made him feel right. Being with Ansley gave him hope for a future. His job gave him purpose, but Ansley would give him life.
"I know this sounds crazy, and we haven't known each other that long, but Ansley, I've fallen for you. You took me by surprise and grasped onto my heart, filling it with a softness I haven't experienced. I don't know when I fell in love. Maybe it was our texts or phone calls, or maybe it was before then, but I love you."
Her eyes grew shiny as tears filled them, and her lip wobbled as her fingers tightened their hold on him. "Link, being with you is magical. It's sunshine and warmth even on the coldest days. You are the one. My feelings for you grew in the moments we shared. You're so caring and good. I love you. I don't ever want to be without you. I mean, I know your job will take you away on deployments and missions. That's life in the military."
“I’m closer to retirement than not.”
“I don’t need you sitting beside me every day to be with you. We know what life in the military is like. I know you’ll be mine even if you’re half a world away.”
He cupped her cheek, his thumb sliding over her soft skin. “Always yours.”
“We can make a good life.”
“When I’m home, and we’re together, we’ll make the most of it.”
“I don’t want kids.”
He nodded. “I don’t think I ever thought I would have kids. I mean, my life was the military. I’m good with no kids.”
"Good. I mean, if it happened, I guess we would figure things out, but I don't want to make it happen."
He leaned in and brushed his lips over hers. “Ansley, I’m yours,” he whispered.
She opened for him, taking their kiss deeper. Her body was plastered against his, the rise and fall of her breasts pushingagainst his chest, driving him crazy. He wanted her nipples in his hands, pushing her closer to a mind-blowing orgasm. He loved watching her when she came.
He tugged off his shirt first, and she pulled at hers, raising it almost to her bra before he helped relieve her of it. Next was her bra, which was all the invitation he needed.
His lips were on her nipples, teasing her, increasing her desire. She gasped and squirmed against him as he played with her nipples. He loved how reactive she was. Without asking, he could tell how much she enjoyed their lovemaking.
When he slid one hand into her shorts, she gasped and arched against him. He was going to get her to come before he entered her. Then he would take her right here.
Ansley rockedher hips against Link's hand, increasing the pressure of his thumb. The man was amazing. He knew exactly how to tease her into a mind-blowing orgasm.
He pulled at her nipple with his teeth, sending sparks through her. The assault of his mouth on her nipples and his hand on her clit was enough to push her over the edge.
She gasped as she reached for his wrist, holding his hand in place as she pumped her hips, prolonging her orgasm.
Link chuckled, his breath warm on her neck. Then his lips were on hers, his tongue sliding in like he was fucking her mouth. The need to get naked and take him overrode everything.
“I need you,” Ansley gasped when the kiss ended.
He spun her to face the counter and shoved her pants low. His hard cock was at her entrance, pushing in, his hands holding her up, his lips at her ear whispering, “I love you.”
She shuddered, her knees almost giving out. He had her, so she didn’t drop. His loving arms held her up as he took her body higher.
The intensity of their lovemaking took her breath away, leaving her gasping as he filled her. His fingers were on her clit again, and she had little doubt that she was going to come again.
“Love you so much,” Link said against the side of her head as he pumped in, his hips slapping against her butt cheeks.
She felt him grow bigger, his cock impossibly hard inside her pussy, his fingers driving her closer to another orgasm. He was going to come, and she wanted to come, too.
