Touched By A Marine (Book 1)

Chapter Twenty-Two: The phone call

Under clear blue sky's and clear sparkling water, Florida was so much more then I ever could have anticipated. The air was warm at a perfect 98 degrees as the sun shined down upon us. With the top down I looked up at the sky and watched as a seagull flew high above me and glided through the air before landing gracefully on top of a traffic light. As our car came to stop in front of a busy intersection I placed my hand in Brad's and gave him a small kiss on the cheek that caused him to smile like a little kid in a candy store. Our destination brought us to the Hyatt Regency that looked to be more like a weekend getaway rather then a hotel. Lights paved the way as Brad drove us up to the valet and stepped out, grabbing our luggage from the trunk.

The hotel had that certain atmosphere about it, like it was designed to be a home away from home but only better. Taking my hand in his, Brad led the way through the lobby before getting into the elevator and pushing the top button for the master suite. The doors opened and instantly I was met with a trail of rose petals that led to some place far off in another part of the hotel room. Setting the bags down near the end table in the living room, Brad headed straight for the kitchen and turned on the lights. I hopped up on the marble island counter top and looked around the place before I heard a hiss and a clink from the beer bottle that had just been opened up. Parting my legs with his one free hand, I kept my eyes on the shirt in front of me and wished about what was under it.

As he set down his beer beside me, Brad ran his hands up my arms before touching my neck and pulling me into a tender kiss. Parting my lips with his tongue I wrapped my arms around his neck as he devoured my mouth and pulled my shirt over my head. His hands were warm to the touch against my slightly cold skin as they ran down my chest and stomach. Wrapping my legs around his waist he grabbed my ass as he carried me down the trail of rose petals that led into the master bedroom where more petals were used to create a heart. He laid me down as he took of his clothes and soon I got an eyeful of just how hard his sex was. Dripping wet and aching to be touched, I curled my index finger as he came closer to me.

My hand slowly reached out to grab his cock as his muscles tightened and a hiss escaped through his clenched teeth. I licked the tip with my tongue as he moaned before taking him fully into mouth where he shouted out and grabbed a fistful of my hair as he guided me back and forth. Soon my gag reflex got the best of me when the blunt head pressed against my throat until I coughed to get some air into my lungs and then quickly pulled away. It was a quick tug and pull as Brad stripped me of my clothes and flipped me onto my stomach. His hands grabbed my waist as he slowly inserted himself into me and kissed the small of my back before he put his lips to my ear.

"I love you, James. With all my heart."

I moaned as I leaned back and kissed him. "I love you too."

That night we made love and it was a perfect evening for the two of us. As we laid there amongst the messed up bed sheets and rose petals, I began to wonder what my life would be like now that Brad was in it with me for all time. Cradled in his arms, I sighed with content as I opened my eyes and saw that he looking down on me with a small smile on his face. Candles were placed statically around the room giving the space a quiet romantic feeling for the two of us. His skin was lightly covered in a film of sweat as I snuggled up closer to him and kissed him on the lips. I heard the soft jingle of his dog tags as they brushed my chest and I took them in hand, examining them both for the first time. His first and last name was on one including his rank and when I looked at the second tag, I saw the same thing.

"Brad? Why do you have two of the dog tags?"

I looked up at his face as he considered carefully how to truthfully answer the question. Squeezing my hand that contained his dog tags, he kissed it and caressed my face as he spoke softly.
