A Surprise for your Anniversary
This is a story that I wrote as a gift for a special someone so she could imagine how our anniversary would have been since we couldn't be together for me to actually do this because of the distance. Its not the same as real life, but like memories, its now here forever so she and others can come back to read it and remember. Who knows, maybe this story will give someone else a few ideas that they can surprise their love and therefore help this story find reality and life in one way or another until I can breath it life. This story is written in a narrative first person style so it will read as if it is playing out in your mind as it is happening. The story is set in Jacksonville North Carolina which hosts Camp Lejuene, home of the 2nd U.S. Marine Division. The first few chapters are pretty clean, but the later ones are NSFW and actually are pretty graphic. Chalk it up to a little sexual tension between us at the time. The chapters will be marked which ones they are.Complete
