A Soldier's Christmas

By the time Logan had slowed and collapsed on top of her, they were both wiped out with sexual exhaustion. She’d just experienced the most amazing sex of her life.

“I can’t move,” Logan whispered into her ear.

“I think we need to sleep just like we are.”

Logan moaned. “I’d love to, but you’d be uncomfortable if I lie on you all night.”

“I know. I just love having you this close to me,” Emma admitted.

Logan held onto Emma and rolled them to their sides. “I’ve no intention of letting go of you, so relax and sleep in my arms all night.” He kissed her forehead and pulled her close to snuggle against his chest.

Their legs entwined, Emma relished having this closeness with him. She’d missed him like crazy over the past months. Over the years that they corresponded, she’d secretly wished to have him like this…and to finally have it, her heart swelled with love and tears gathered on her lashes.

She listened to his heart beat strongly in his chest before she asked, “What’s going to happen when you leave?” Emma surprised herself. Until the words left her mouth, she’d had no idea that she was worried about losing him again.

Logan tightened his arms around her and put her mind at ease. “I have to report back in just under three weeks, so just after the New Year, and my plan now that I have you is to take you with me.” He kissed her forehead before he tilted her chin to meet his gaze. “I know that we only just met in person today, but we’ve known each other for two years, Emma. Longer if I think about everything we shared in those letters…I know you better than I know myself. Two years is a long time. I’m not prepared to walk away from you...but, if you can’t see yourself being with a soldier for the next nine months while I finish up my twenty, I’ll have to somehow live with that.”

Emma saw the emotion in Logan’s eyes and knew that it would hurt him just as much as it would hurt her to be apart.

With anyone else, it would be too soon to even talk about what they were doing, but they’d really gotten to know each other first and that’s how they’d fallen in love. Well, that was how she’d fallen in love. Neither of them had mentioned the ‘L’ word yet, but she knew without a doubt, that Logan felt the same for her as she did him.

Emma smiled through her tears. “I’m not going to live out of a hotel with you. We can to begin with until we find a rental, at least. Once you’re out, we can go wherever you wish. I can work from anywhere.”

Logan caressed her face and, after he lingered over a sweet kiss, he admitted, “We’ll talk about where we want to go when the time comes, and we do it together.” He kissed her nose. “But knowing that you’ll be coming with me in three weeks has removed the lump in my belly, the fear of you not wanting me.”

“Oh, no. I’d have been on my hands and knees begging you to take me if you hadn’t asked.”

Logan chuckled. “Hmm, I like the idea of you on your hands and knees.”

It took Emma a minute. When she realized what he meant, she narrowed her eyes, but trailed a finger from his hip around to the front to him to play with his swollen flesh.

“I’d rather kneel on the comfortable bed.” She smirked, and wiggled down his body, pushing him to his back while she settled on her knees between his spread thighs. “Mmm, I love how you lengthen and twitch before my eyes.” Emma circled her breasts with her fingers and rubbed both of her nipples.

Logan growled and dripped onto his stomach in his excitement. “You’re killing me.”

She smiled. “I know, and if you’re good, you get to play with these babies again real soon.” She squeezed her breasts together and felt a thrill of excitement run through her at his heated gaze.

She soon put him out of his misery by dipping her head down to his groin, and using her tongue and mouth to bring him to orgasm.

Chapter 15

Logan stood by the door and told himself that he had to stay put while Emma finished getting dressed. What he really wanted to do was rip her clothes off and make love to her. He’d gone years without having sex, but, as he’d found his Emma, he couldn’t get enough.

Even after she’d sucked him off last night, he’d wanted more, and more, and more. He’d lost count as to how many times he’d taken her or how many ways, but he knew that he loved her. He’d known that yesterday before sex had gotten involved. Hell, he’d known that for the last year at least.

She’d kept him sane through his deployments, and she was the only person he trusted with the more intimate details about his family life before his parents had died. She knew everything about him, just like he did her.

He couldn’t keep the satisfied grin from his face when he looked at her or even thought about her because the carnal knowledge blew his mind.

“I don’t think I need many guesses as to what you’re thinking about,” Emma pulled her jeans up her thighs.

“You’d probably get the answer in one,” he replied, and watched everything she did as she got dressed.

Emma gave a throaty laugh. “I love you watching me.” She cocked her head to one side. “It makes me wet.”

Logan felt his heart rate pick up. “I can’t handle hearing that you’re wet when we’re headed out.” He adjusted the erection in his jeans.

“Mmm, sure you don’t want to relieve, um, something.” She pointedly stared at his groin, and he saw the amusement on her face when he hardened even more while she watched.
