Love's Sacrifice Read online

  Shon felt daring. Placing her purse on the bed, she grabbed the hem of her dress and slowly shimmied out of it. She stood in front of him in only her lacy, black underwear. There was no shyness or embarrassment around Cody; he always brought out the brave side of her. She knew she gained a few pounds here and there; however, her hours at the gym showed. She still had to work on her belly, but hey, she wasn’t perfect.

  Cody stood there ogling her barely covered body.

  “Shony…” He cleared his throat.

  He took several strides and stopped in front of her. Gripping her ass, he lifted her against him. Shon wrapped her legs around his waist. He carried her over to the table and placed her down. Cody positioned himself between her thighs.

  “I missed you.” He touched her legs, making her shake like a leaf. He seductively whipped off his shirt, and her breath caught in her chest. He was perfectly sculpted—not one ounce of fat. His abs were flat; she reached out and touched his six-pack. Shon’s core tingled in anticipation. Cody’s biceps, triceps—oh God—his body looked as if he would give her one heck of a work out. He moved back, unbuckled his belt, unbuttoned his pants, and dropped his boxers to his ankles. Cody kicked them to the side.

  He stood there with a smirk on his face. His devilish features shifted as the half smile grew into a big grin. His dick stood at attention; he must have been over eight inches long and damn, the width… Shon gazed into his blue eyes; they were a startling contrast to his tan skin tone.

  Cody dropped to his knees, crawled in between her legs, and then smiled at the sight of her panties. Her legs trembled against her will. He feathered kisses on her ankles, up her calves, to her knees, and nibbled his way up the inside of her thighs.

  “Cody…” she whispered, as he set her thighs over his shoulders. Shon leaned back and placed her elbows on the table, looking at him as he used his teeth to move her panties to the side. “Fuck!” she yelled as his mouth devoured her pussy. He switched from tonguing her to nibbling on her clit. He used his fingers to his advantage as he found her core, teasing with his index finger and then inching in. He plunged it in and out as his tongue lapped, licked, and sucked her clit.

  He murmured something against her sweet spot, but she couldn’t comprehend what he said. She was lost in the overwhelming sensation he caused her. “Oh God…” she squealed, sitting up and gripping his shoulders with her ankles. Shon combed her fingers through his hair and tugged him closer.

  He came up for some air, chuckling, still slipping his finger in and out of her passage, fucking her. “I forgot how good you taste,” he uttered between breaths and then went back down. He flicked her clit faster, gently biting on it, and in that moment, Shon hollered his name, coming in ecstasy. Cody didn’t stop as she locked her legs around his head, and he continued eating her out. Shon’s whole body shook, and he held her down with his strong arms.

  Cody slurped her juices, and he licked his lips as he stood. His beautiful dick leaked pre-cum. Shon touched the tip with her finger and brought it to her mouth, making him groan. She licked her finger clean. “Mmmm…”

  Cody reached for his pants, digging in his pocket. He pulled out a gold wrapper. He tore the plastic open with his teeth and rolled it on his cock. He returned to the spot between her legs. He gazed into her eyes, tearing the sides of her lacy underwear and throwing it to the side. “You were always mine,” he growled, lining his dick up with her core.

  She couldn’t deny it. Shon was always his. She could never give herself completely to another. Even though she cut him out of her life for his own good, Cody was still present in her life. He was always there.

  Cody gently glided into her sweet pussy. Everything around them ceased to exist; it was only them. He plunged into her, being careful. Her pussy was overly wet, just like he remembered. Shon dug her manicured nails in his back as she hugged him, accepting his cock.

  “Fu-ck…” he moaned against her collar bone. “You’re so fucking tight.” He bit her neck.

  “Oh shit!” she opened her legs wider and canted her hips forward.

  Cody clutched her ass. Picking her up, he carried her to the bed and settled her in the middle of the mattress. He crawled to her and pushed her down, settling on top of her. Giving her slow, long strokes. He grabbed her ankles and urged her legs behind his neck. He settled on his knees, watching his cock go in and out of her. “You’re beautiful…” He pinched her clit in between his fingers.

  Shon closed her passion filled eyes. She squinted every time he plunged into her core, and she gave it right back, rolling her hips and taking him in. “Open your eyes, babe.” Cody wanted to see her brown iris. Her eyes fluttered open, meeting his. Her chest heaved up and down, and he moved the lacy material of her bra. He bent his head and sucked on each one, taking turns. He pulled the tip of her hard nipples with his teeth and then released it. Cody loved how taut her nipples were, soft so soft. Shon’s head thrashed from side to side, and she fisted the sheets on the bed. They made sweet love. Cody had never stopped loving this amazing woman. This is where he wanted to be. This is what he was missing in his life, no one but her would do.

  Shon’s ankles fell to his sides, and he lowered his body on hers, making love to her mind and soul. All you could hear were their moans and skin-to-skin contact.

  “Oh shit!” Shon yelled.

  Cody smiled. She was always so vocal when they had sex. She never held back what she felt. He cupped her face in between his hands, still giving her long strokes. “What do you want?” he groaned through gritted teeth.

  Shon gave him a naughty grin and twisted out his embrace. She turned, climbing on all fours, her ass in the air. Cody chuckled, gripped his cock, and slowly thrust into her pussy. She started moving, pushing back against his thrusts fast, making him lose his cool. He tried to stay in control. He wanted this to last, but she wasn’t making it easy. He grabbed her waist and thrust harder in to her. The headboard hit the wall with force each time he plunged forward.

  “Yes!” she screamed. “Yes! Daddy … fuck me…”

  “Damn…” Cody smacked her ass. He wasn’t going last much longer. His hands caressed her ass, down to the arch of her back, and found their way to her breast pinching her nipples, making her cry louder. He fondled her breast, knowing they were one of her hot spots.

  “Yes…” Shon chanted. The headboard sounded as if it would break through the wall. “Yes… Co-dy! More…”

  Her muscles contracted around his cock. He’d found her g-spot. He lost control and fucked her without mercy. Both of them moaned and groaned, saying crazy shit. When Shon came, her whole body shook uncontrollably, and the contractions of her walls made him explode deep in her cavern. He went weak, and they both fell onto the mattress. Cody kissed her shoulders and then rolled off of her, making sure he didn’t crush her.

  The hotel phone rang on the nightstand, and Cody picked it up, out of breath. “He…llo.”

  “Sir, this is Tiffany down at the front desk. Is everything all right?”

  “Yes,” he laughed. “Why?”

  “Someone said there was a lot of banging coming from your room.”

  “Sorry about that.” Shon covered her mouth with her hands, giggling, as Cody spoke to the front desk attendant. “I was moving something. I promise to be quieter.”

  “Oh okay, have a great night.”

  “You do the same,” Cody laughed again as soon as he hung up. “You’re too wild for the other guests.”

  “Oh God…” Shon lifted her body on shaky elbows, gazing at him. “I needed that. Only you have that effect on my body.”

  “I needed you.” He removed a strand of her hair from her face. “Marry me?”

  Shon’s eyes opened wide. She propped herself up and sat. “What did you just say?”

  Cody sat up too. “I asked you to marry me.”

  Shon jumped out off the bed and started to search for her clothes.

  “Shon.”

  She fou
nd her dress and slipped it on. “We just saw each other after fucking thirteen years.”

  “And look what just happened.” He waved his hands, observing the room. They’d moved the bed off the frame, and the blanket and sheets were off the mattress. “You and I were meant to be.” He stared at her shaky hands. She was nervous because she knew what he was saying was true.

  “This was just sex.” She glared at him, pointing in his direction. “If it wasn’t me, it would have been someone else tonight. So please, don’t insult my intelligence.”

  Cody stood, taking off the condom, throwing it in the wastebasket, and picked his boxers off the floor, and was about to slipped them on, until he looked up. He walked over to her. “You want honesty? Here it goes.” He sat on the edge of the bed. “You’re probably right. I would’ve fucked someone else tonight.”

  “Great!” She threw her hands in the air. “Thank you for not insulting me.” Her eyes shone with unshed tears.

  “Nevertheless,” he took hold of her hand, moving her closer to him, “It’s you I’ve been wanting all these years, Shony. When I kissed or had sex with other women, you were always the person I saw.”

  She placed her hands on her hips.

  “I fucked them, but I only made love to you.” Cody cleared his throat. “In all this time, no one has compared to you, no one even came close.” His fingers crawled up her thighs and met with her pussy.

  Shon knees gave out, and she held on to his shoulders.

  “But you replaced me it seemed.” His middle finger slipped in and out her core. His dick eased through his boxers.

  She moaned each time he thrust into her canal. “I could never replace you.” She straddled him. “I settled.”

  He grabbed another plastic wrapper, rolling it on his rod, and then grasped her waist and sat her down on his cock. “You don’t have to settle anymore.” Cody kissed her collarbone. “I’m here.”

  Shon received him in like a pro, rotating her hips and taking him inch by inch. This is what he missed with all those women. Love, because when you love the woman your having sex with, it is so much more powerful—the meeting of the souls. His heart missed her. Becoming one, that’s what happened when they made love thirteen years ago. She was his soul mate.

  “We don’t know… each other anymore. There’s so… much that’s happened,” she gripped his shoulders as she moved slowly up and down his dick.

  “Shony, I think we know each other better than anyone.” Cody tilted her chin so she can look at him. “We can learn the new things about each other. I know you haven’t changed much.”

  “There’s so much I need to tell you,” she sang out between gritted teeth.

  “And I want to hear. We can have the rest of our lives for you to tell me.” His balls tightened, and her pussy walls contracted around his shaft.

  Her mouth formed an ‘O,’ and her body shook. Shon’s eyes rolled in the back of her head. “Oh yes…” she squeezed her legs together. He felt her cream cover his cock, and he thrust up into her canal uncontrollably. He gripped her ass and came with so much force he blacked out for a few seconds.

  They stayed in that position for a while, until she spoke.

  “You’re stationed somewhere else?”

  “And, we did the long distant thing for almost a year.”

  “And look at how that ended up.” She glanced away from him.

  “Whose fault was that, Shon?” He leaned back and lay on his back with his hands behind his head, watching her.

  She was about to move. “No stay… I love to watch you.”

  “Cody, it’s been so many years.”

  “Didn’t you feel what I just felt?” He massaged her leg. “Shon Blake… I’ve never stopped loving you.”

  Shon froze, staring at him with her mouth agape.

  “I tried telling you so many times how I felt, but you ignored me.” He leered. “You deactivated your Facebook and blocked me from emailing you. I was going to break security protocol and just find out everything about you, but my conscious wouldn’t allow me. I wanted to hear everything from your mouth, not prying into your privacy.”

  “Thank you for that.”

  “Tell me you don’t feel the same way I feel about you?”

  She was silent.

  “You don’t love me anymore?” he whispered.

  “I never said I didn’t love you.” She bent down, his dick slipping out of her warm cavern.

  “Do you?”

  “Cody, I’ve always loved you.” She showed him her wrist with the tattoo they got together the day they said their goodbye’s.

  She’d gotten a heart with his initials in it, and he’d gotten the same one with her initials on his. The guys at the Seal team used to make fun of him every time they saw the little tattoo.

  He twisted his wrist, showing her his.

  She traced the tattoo with her index finger, and he’d added an arrow through the heart. Shon kissed it.

  “You broke my heart.” He pulled her down on top of his chest, placing her head over his heart.

  “I didn’t mean to. I broke my own heart in the process.” She said against his chest.

  “We have twenty-nine days to get to know each other.” He rubbed her back. “Give us that opportunity.”

  “Yes…” she whispered.

  “I can always ask to be co-located with you.” He smiled. “That’s if you marry me.”

  “There is something I need to tell you first…” Shon yawned.

  “Are you in a relationship?” He eyed her.

  “No.” She raised her voice, making him chuckle.

  “Then it can wait. Go to sleep; we have a long day tomorrow.” He wrapped her in his arms. “Tomorrow is a new beginning.” Who would’ve though he would run into the love of his life on this trip? Thank God his buddy McKay couldn’t make it, and they sent him instead. He’d waited for years to get Shon back into his life and bed. After Shon, Cody hadn’t been the same, she ruined it for any other woman, he tried but they weren’t her. He wouldn’t let her run this time. Whatever she needed to tell him; wouldn’t change how he felt about her.

  Chapter Three

  Two days later.

  “See you tonight,” Cody’s lips brushed the plastic mouthpiece of his cell phone. He and Shon went out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner the day after the club. They spent the entire time getting to know each other again. Yet, something was off when it came to Shon. He sighed. Was she still married and didn’t know how to tell him? After dinner she said she couldn’t spend the night with him. He wanted her all to himself, and he wasn’t willing to share her with anyone.

  “I’m sorry. I can’t tonight. I have an event I need to attend.” He heard her wrestling with something. “Maybe we can meet for lunch, tomorrow.”

  “Is the event work related?” He was being noisy.

  “No.”

  That was it, no explanation, just no. “I see.” He stepped out of the rental vehicle in front of the command he and his team were about to inspect. “I guess lunch will have to do.”

  “Don’t say it like that.” She was silent for a few seconds. “I just have obligations.”

  “What kind of responsibilities, Shon?”

  “I’ll call you when I take a break, and we can meet up at the food court.” Shon was trying to get him off the phone. “I have to go. I’m about to get briefed.”

  “Bye.” Cody swiped his phone off. He didn’t have the right to feel so fucking possessive. He’d just stepped back into her life. She might have some things going on and needed to end before fully giving herself to him.

  “Hey. Where did you disappear to on Saturday?” his friend Bartley asked.

  “None of your business.” Cody shook his head and grabbed his computer bag.

  “I had a woman lined up for you.” Bartley walked through the parking lot. “What happened to taking one for the team?”

  Cody smirked. “I ran in to someone I knew long time ago. We had some catching u
p to do.”

  “Okay man, I guess you’re not sharing. Never one to kiss and tell.” Barkley patted him on the shoulder. “Lets go see what we can hit this command with. I hope they have all their ducks in row.”

  “I hope so too.” Cody opened the double glass doors to the building, allowing his friend to step in, and he followed.

  The young sailor at the Quarter Deck spoke through the speaker behind the thick glass. “Good morning, may I see your ID’s?”

  They both pulled out their wallets and dug for their military ID. Barkley showed his against the window, being funny, and Cody showed his next. He was impressed a Lieutenant and Lieutenant Commander didn’t intimidate the young sailor; some commands would’ve automatically let them in and have them wait inside of the Quarter Deck.
