JACK

I stroke Suzie's soft cheek with my fingers. "I'm so so sorry I wasn't here for you." My lips press against her forehead, kissing the tiny lines that have appeared there. The worry lines of a single mom. The lines that I caused and that no amount of kisses will fade away. "I'll never leave again, Suzie."

I take her hands and hold them to my heart. "I swear to you, I'm here for you and George. I'll protect you both and look after you for as long as I live."

She frowns at my sudden seriousness. I press her hands over my heart, needing her to understand what an oath means to me. "I mean this, Suzie. You have my word."

Suzie runs a hand over my face, tracing the lines there. "You're serious, aren't you?"

"I've only ever sworn an oath to the queen when I went into service and again when the king succeeded as monarch and became commander in chief of the military. I swore to lay down my life for my country as long as I was in service, and I swear now to lay down my life for my family for as long as I live."

The word of a soldier still means something, and I give Suzie what I couldn't give her three years ago. The part of me that belonged to my country now belongs to her and George and our future children.

I'll make it official as soon as she's ready, but I don't need a piece of paper and a ring to secure my heart to her. Suzie is already mine.

"You really want to move here to the mountain?" She's still caught up in the logistics of it, and yes, we'll have to figure out a place to live, buy a bigger house and a family car, but those are minor details that we'll figure out.

"If that's where you and George are, then yes."

The last of her doubts melt from her eyes, and I seal my promises with a kiss. It may take Suzie a while to believe I'll stick around, but I'll prove it to her every single day in every way I can. By showing up, by getting to know our son, by making her dinner when she's had a long day at work, by letting her sleep late when she's tired, by taking George to the park and hiking and teaching him how to climb when he's older and hunt a deer and telling him about his great grandfather who was a war hero, and by giving him siblings to play with.

My lips move against hers, and she responds soft and slow. I slide my hands around her waist and pull her to me, needing to feel her body pressed against mine.

But I didn't come here for this, and I pull back to make sure Suzie's okay with where this is heading. "Is this what you want?"

She nods, no hesitation. "Yes, Jack. I want you."

The desire in her eyes meets my own. I slide my hands around the back of her knees and scoop her into my arms. Suzie shrieks then giggles. "What are you doing?"

"Tell me where the bedroom is. We're not doing this in the kitchen. I'm making love to my future wife in a big bed where I'm going to take my time and enjoy every inch of her beautiful body."

Suzie wraps her arms around my neck, and I kiss her full lips. She pulls away with a giggle and a mischievous look in her eyes, but she keeps her mouth closed.

"Are you gonna tell me which door leads to the bedroom, or are you gonna make me guess?"

She leans her head back and looks up at me. "I thought I'd see how long you can hold me for. I'm not light."

She giggles, and I hoist her up in my arms to get a better grip. Suzie's a big girl, but I've been lifting weights for twenty years. It was my job to be strong. "You're light as a feather, my love. I could hold you all night and not break a sweat."

If she wants to play this game, then we'll play.

I press my lips to her throat, and she tilts her head back. My kisses reach the spot behind her ear. "But I'd rather spend the night making love to you, Suzie."

She moans, and her arm shoots out to point to a door leading off the kitchen. "That way."

I follow her directions into the hallway and through another door to the master bedroom. It's tastefully decorated with dark furnishing and fluffy pillows. A colorful stuffed rabbit sits on the bed, and there are more toys in the corner. There's evidence of our son everywhere, and it warms my heart. I can't wait to meet him properly. I can't wait to get to know the little guy. To kick a football around with him and watch England win the World Cup with him and teach him how to pronounce his vowels properly.

I throw Suzie onto the bed and climb on top of her, pinning her down on the sheets. The stuffed rabbit falls onto its side and lands with one eye glaring at me. I chuck it in the pile of toys by the corner. "Sorry bunny, this isn't for your eyes."

Suzie giggles, and God I've missed that laugh. I've missed everything about her.

"How well does the little man sleep? Will he hear us?"

Suzie props herself up on her elbows, and her hair falls over her shoulders like a silky waterfall. "I don't know. I've never done this before."

I raise an eyebrow at her. "I remember doing this plenty in Cambridge."

She laughs. "I mean I haven't had anyone back here. I told you yesterday, Jack. I haven't been with anyone since you."

The words make me ache for her and quells the jealous beast inside me. She's mine, only mine.

"Good. We're going to take this really slow. I want to enjoy every part of you."

My hands slide under her t-shirt, and she arches her back at my touch. I unhook her bra with one hand while the other runs up her stomach, enjoying the way she feels beneath me.

The bra falls open and I peel it off her shoulders, pulling her t-shirt off in the process. With the t-shirt and bra disposed of, I sit back on my haunches and take in the beautiful woman before me.

"So beautiful." Her breasts are perfect orbs, and I lean forward to kiss the pale skin. She shudders at my touch, and her hands wrap in my hair.

My mouth caresses the skin of her throat and her chest, creeping down to the pink aureola that pimples under my breath. My lips enclose over the stiff nipple, and Suzie moans as her back arches into me.

Using my hands and mouth, I lick and suck and tease her breasts until she's writhing under me. I could spend an eternity lost in the softness of her breasts, but Suzie's whimpers become more needy and she tilts her hips and pulls me to her. Her hands reach for my belt, making her intentions clear.

I sit up as she undoes my jeans, and I shrug out of them. Her hands slide under my t-shirt, causing blasts of heat everywhere she touches.

My t-shirt comes off as does my socks, until I'm just in my underpants. I'm standing by the bed, and Suzie sits up on the edge of the bed.

Her fingers trace the interlacing tattoo around my arm. "Cornwall. That makes sense."

"We're one of the Celtic nations."

Her fingers tickle as she brushes her fingertips over the design. "Cornwall was never conquered by the Romans or the Vikings," she murmurs. "The Anglo Saxons repressed the Britons, but the culture thrived in Cornwall."

I love how she knows more about my country's history than I do. "You should finish your studies."

"Maybe," she says noncommittally.

Her fingertips trace the scar just below my tattoo. "And how did you really get this?"

"That really is a bullet wound." She gives me a look like she doesn't believe me. "It's true. Our team came under enemy fire, and I got caught. I never told you any lies, Suzie, I just couldn't tell you a lot of the truth."

She takes a deep breath, and I cup her cheeks. "All of the truth from now on, from both of us."

Susie nods, and I kiss her hard. Her hands slide into my underpants, and she slides them down my thighs. My cock springs out, and Suzie captures it in her palms. She glances up at me as her tongue flicks out and makes contact with my dick. The sensation is instant and intense. A groan rumbles out of my chest as she slides her mouth around me. Wet heat engulfs my most sensitive area, and pre-sum jerks into her mouth.

She looks up at me from under lowered lashes as she takes me deeper until my cock grazes the back of her throat. "Suzie…" My voice is choked as she bears down on my shaft, sucking hard so my words turn to a groan in my throat.

When I regain my powers of speech, I tilt her head up to look at me. "You don't have to do that."

Suzie keeps her gaze on me as she wraps her fist around the base of my cock and takes me deeper into her mouth.

The sensation is pure bliss, and I ride it for a few glorious minutes. But this isn't how I want tonight to go. Tonight, I want to show Suzie how much she means to me.

Gently, I pull myself from her grasp. "I want to taste you too."

She wipes a finger across her bottom lip and shuffles back on the bed, getting my meaning. I grab the top of her yoga pants and pull them down, taking her panties with them.

Then I rest my hands on her hips as I lie back on the bed. "Come and sit right here, right on my face."

Suzie straddles my chest facing outwards, and I stroke her thighs as she shuffles into position. The scent of her arousal fills me and I grab her hips, pulling her onto my tongue.

She gasps at the contact and it turns to a moan as I find her sensitive spot. Then she leans forward, and her mouth closes around my cock. I jerk at the contact because it feels so fucking good. To taste her at the same time as she tugs at me with her mouth.

My hands run up her body, caressing her with my fingers as I lap at her sweet spot. Pussy juices coat my tongue and drip onto my chin, and they're the sweetest thing I've ever tasted. Her mouth on my cock becomes more erratic as her climax builds.

She bears down on me, rubbing against my tongue and taking what she needs from me. Her moans make my cock vibrate and almost make me lose it.

She's close, I can sense it, and I bring my hand down to slide a finger into her wet pussy. Suzie cries out and clenches around me. Fresh juice coats my face, and I press hard against her as she rides out the orgasm.

Her mouth stills around my cock and then sucks hard. I'd love to let go in her mouth, but that's for another day. Tonight I want to look into the eyes of my future wife as I come. I want to see the woman who I'll be waking up next to for the rest of my life.

I gently lift her hips up and tap her shoulder, and with one final pull that has me almost ready to lose it, she pops my cock out of her mouth. "Turn around. I want to see you."

Suzie unhooks her legs from around my neck and turns around so she's facing me. Desire flashes in her eyes, and the look of arousal makes my own needs more urgent. "I need you, Jack. I need you inside of me."

I reach for my jeans, discarded on the floor to get a condom, and she stops my hand. "I'm on the pill. Are you clean?"

I run my hand down her thick thigh. "I've not been with anyone since you, Suzie. You ruined women for me. Once I had you, I didn't want anyone else. I was done. I knew I'd never sleep with a woman again unless it was you."

Her eyes go wide, and she slides her thighs over my waist until she's straddling me. I hold her hips and guide her onto my waiting cock.

Our eyes lock as she takes the tip of me inside her. Emotion swells inside me for this woman. I crossed the earth to be with her, and it's everything I hoped for and more. "I love you, Suzie."

"I love you too, Jack."

She sinks onto me, and my world shifts. There's nothing else but the two of us and this incredible sensation. I gaze at the woman on top of me and know I'll never see a more beautiful sight.

My hands run over her body as we move together. I cup her breasts and sit up to take one in my mouth. Suzie moans as I lap at her nipple.

She sets the pace, riding me as she needs to until another orgasm rips out to her.

She leans forward, panting, and I run my hand up and down her back until she's ready to move again. This time I control the pace, pulling her hips up and down and pulling her close to me. Her hair cascades around us to tickle my chest.

Her hands run over my torso, and all the sensations build to a crest that seems impossible to peak. Suzie's moans turn to cries, and as she comes undone I let myself go, exploding into my woman as I pull her close to me. The powerful orgasm tugs at the emotions and regrets of the last three years and sweeps them all away in a tidal wave of pleasure.

"I love you," I whisper when I come back to shore.

Suzie's sleepy and floppy and I nestle next to her in the bed, satisfied in body and soul. This soldier has found his new mission. It's right here with the woman I love.
