But then I saw him.
Cody looked around, not having seen me yet. I walked faster before breaking out into a run. People embraced around me, but I made my way through the wave of them, not seeing anyone but Cody. Every part of me came alive, as if my very soul was reaching out to him, desperate to be reunited with its other half.
When our gazes locked, his face lit up like the sun, and he ran toward me. His smile was wide and goofy…and sohim.There was no greater feeling than when I flung my arms around his neck. I heard a camera click and looked to see the FRO had snapped a photo of us. She smiled before moving on to another group.
I kissed Cody, then. His mouth trembled against mine, and he put an arm around my waist.
As his familiar scent hit me, I couldn’t stop the tears from pooling in my eyes. He felt amazing against me. He might’ve been the one to leave months ago, but as we kissed and hugged, I felt like I was the one coming back home.
“Welcome home, Second Lieutenant,” I said, my mouth ghosting over his.
Cody stroked my jaw, and then his mouth was on mine again. We softly kissed, our lips touching over and over, and then there was a hand on my shoulder. Cody stopped kissing me and grinned.
Three Marines stood behind me, all smiling: Kyle, Tyler, and Patrick, the three men I sent care packages to during the deployment.
“Hey, Package Daddy,” Patrick said, pulling me in for a bear hug.
Cody snorted a laugh, keeping his hand at my lower back.
“Thanks for everything.” Tyler hugged me next.
Kyle, who was the biggest of them, picked me up off the ground when he embraced me.
“You’re welcome,” I told them, sliding my hand into Cody’s.
I had no intention of ever letting him go.
Once Cody was able to leave the base and we returned home, Cody wasted no time before pulling me into the bedroom.
“Aren’t you hungry?” I asked between kisses.
“Not for food.” Cody popped the buttons on my shirt before taking it off me and going for my pants.
He pushed me against the wall, kissing my neck as he slipped his hand between my legs. As his slightly calloused hand stroked my stiffening cock, I dropped my head back and groaned. I had relieved myself plenty during his absence, but havinghishand on me was completely different.
“Fuck, I missed you,” he whispered, pressing his face into my neck. His hand continued to stroke me.
“How much?”
Cody answered with a growl and wrapped his muscled arms around me. I was off the floor and thrown onto the bed within seconds. I stared at Cody as he approached, his gait like that of a predator. He pulled his shirt up and over his head, exposing his rippled abdomen that seemed even more toned than it had been when he deployed.
Heat spread to my groin, and my cock twitched. Cody was too beautiful.
Leaning forward, I grabbed him by the waist and pulled him on top of me, capturing his sweet lips. I worked his pants down, and once we were both naked, I flipped him to his back and kissed a trail down his stomach to his cock.
Cody sucked a breath in between his teeth as my mouth encircled his swollen tip. His fingers knotted in my hair, and the groans coming from him had me so aroused I could barely think. His flavor hit my tongue as pre-cum beaded in his slit, and I licked it off.
“I can’t wait any longer,” he panted, leaning his head on the pillow and arching his back. “I need you, Sebastian.”
“You know I can’t deny you, Mr. Miller.”
“Yeah?” A raspy chuckle reached my ears. “Then stick your dick in me, Doctor, because it’s been nine months and I’m about to lose my damn mind.”
I prepped him first, stretching him with my fingers before moving up his body. I spread his legs farther apart and settled between them, staring down into the eyes I loved. He smiled, and the tenderness of it pulled at my heartstrings. After slicking my cock with lube, I pushed against his entrance.
Cody bit his bottom lip, his brow creasing in the middle.
I kissed the center of his head before pushing more. Once I was inside, Cody groaned and clawed at my back, begging me to fuck him into the mattress.
