Dear Diary,

After we got back to the suite we…

 

I knew that I wouldn’t be able to write what happened next so I put the book down and just became lost in my wonderful memories.

 

AJ spotted me soon after I leaned against the door of the bedroom.  He tossed down the brochure that he had been glancing over and fluidly rose to his feet.  He softly padded over to stand directly in front of me. 

 

“Bare feet?” I questioned.

 

“Yeah, I don’t really like shoes all that much.  What can I say, I was raised in the country.”

 

“You know, today has been nearly perfect,” I said.

 

"Just ‘nearly perfect’?" he asked while quirking one eyebrow.

 

"Yeah, room service interrupted a wonderful dream this morning," I said as I boldly reached up and ran my finger down his neck.   I stopped my first explorations only because of the buttons that still held his shirt together.  He lightly ran his fingers down my arm toward his chest before taking my hand in his then raising it to his lips.

 

"Well, Sarah, how about we make that dream a reality then?"

 

I smiled slightly in anticipation as I pulled my hand back to the studs on his tux shirt. 

"Sounds like a wonderful idea.  Of course, you are a bit over dressed."

 

“And what are you going to do about that?” he asked somewhat wickedly.

 

“Well, let’s see.”  I pulled up my other hand to his chest and slowly began unhooking the studs on his shirt.  My fingers lightly brushed against his belly and he flinched slightly.  Deciding not to tease him about his apparent ticklishness at this time, I simply eased his shirt from his waistband.  Slipping my hands inside the shirt, I let my fingers lightly play in his hair as I ran my hands up his chest. 

 

I could see his eyes darken with passion as slipped his shirt down his arms.  I stretched up and kissed him tenderly.  Once his hands were free of the shirt, his arms wrapped around me as he pulled me tightly to him.  I could feel the heat of his hands, one around my waist and one on my bare hip.  We broke the kiss to breathe and I reached for his waistband.  Stepping back mere inches, I rubbed my knuckles lightly down his zipper feeling his bulging erection before freeing the zipper and buttons. 

 

I slipped his tux pants down his strong legs before he tightened his grip and pulled me back in to a kiss.  He stepped out of his pants then swept me up into his arms.  He walked the few steps over to the bed, setting me down gently in the middle before breaking one of the most incredible kisses that I have ever experienced. 

 

He pulled away and to my surprise moved to the foot of the bed.  There began the most exquisite love making session.  He started at my toes and proceeded to kiss and caress every inch up my legs.  He purposely avoided one spot though, and pushing up my shirt he kissed across my hips and lower belly. 

 

AJ looked up into my eyes then lowered his lips to that spot he missed earlier.  My eyes closed and back arched with the pleasure of his tongue on my slick skin.  I was soon breathing very heavy, knowing that I would climax quickly if I let him continue.  I put my hand on the side of his head and gently eased him away.  His worried eyes jumped to mine and I could tell that he was thinking he did something wrong.

 

“AJ, I want you inside of me.”  I could see that he understood that I didn’t want this to be just about me, I wanted this to be about the both of us.  He eased his way farther up my body kissing lightly as he went before he stopped.  AJ supported most of his weight on one arm as he slipped the other one behind my back.  He gently lifted me then replacing his hand he slipped the other one under my shirt before easing it off.

 

AJ paused as he looked at my tattoo but didn’t say anything about it before he reached for his silk boxers and removed them.  He gave me a quick kiss before he surprised me by standing up and walking over to his suitcase.  I watched as he slipped his hand into a side pocket and then walk back to the bed, completely unaffected by his nudity.  He tossed some condoms on the nightstand, withholding one.  I hadn’t even thought about protection, so I was touched that he did. 


AJ climbed back into bed and with one more kiss, he spoke for the first time in a while.  “Are you sure, Sarah?” he asked softly as he gently traced the tattoo on my right breast.

 

“ Positive,” I said as I reached for the condom wrapper in his hand.  Once I opened it, I eased it over his erection, and this time he closed his eyes and thrust his hips a bit.  After taking a deep breath, AJ moved by rolling over top of me.  He kissed me, letting me taste myself on his lips, before he nudged my legs apart.  I let my hands run down his body, reveling in the feel of his skin beneath my fingertips.

 

AJ caught my eyes and watched my face as he slowly pushed inside me.  While he wasn’t the largest man I have been with, he filled me more than any others.  People always said that it meant so much more when you loved the person you were with and I finally truly understood that.  Sure, I had thought that I was in love before but no man ever made me feel this incredible pleasure.  I could tell that he wanted me to enjoy this for as long as possible. 

 

Not breaking eye contact, I whispered his name as I wrapped my legs around him and pulled him tighter.  He whispered my name in return as he continued to thrust in and out, rubbing my clit each time bringing me ever closer to orgasm.  Finally, I knew that I was nearly there and I wanted him with me.  I could tell by his eyes that he was nearly there too and was waiting for me first. 

 

“Come with me, AJ,” I whispered as I stroked my hand over his scalp, pulling his lips to mine.  I could feel him tense up then he said my name.  First, it was merely a whisper but it soon turned to a bellow as I could feel him throbbing inside me.  I tightened around him as I lost myself in the incredible pleasure.

 

A while later, I actually didn’t pay attention to the time, AJ rolled off me but then pulled me into his arms.  I nuzzled my check against his chest as I tried to catch my breath.  I relaxed, occasionally feeling aftershocks of the wonderful orgasm.  I eventually looked up into his eyes again and saw love shining there.  I could see him look down and saw the humor creep into his eyes.  I know that he once again spotted the tattoo.

 

“Sarah, I have to ask.”

 

“They are ichnites.

 

“What?”

 

I had to smile at his surprise.  “Dinosaur tracks.  You know that my uncle took me to Arizona to dry out.”  He nodded.  “We always looked for ichnites while we were there.  Well, after I dried out and joined the Marines, I decided to get the tattoo and this seemed the most logical.  Every time I see it, I think of all the fun times we had and all the tough times.”

 

“In the kitchen, I overheard plenty of speculation about this tattoo and I would have to say I never thought it would be this,” he said as he lightly caressed it. 

 

“People talked about my tattoo?”  I was a bit embarrassed as he smiled in reply.  “I knew that I shouldn’t have ever told Harm.”

 

“I wonder if they still have the pool going.  I’m kidding.  If anyone suggested that, I would have brought charges up so fast their heads would spin.  Most of them were split on if it were a Marine seal or the eagle, globe and anchor.  Rabb thought that it was a flower though.”

 

“Oh, I forgot all about Harm.  I was going to hang out with him while he was here.  I forgot to tell him that I was going out of town.  Oh well.  I guess he knows by now.  I’ll just call him later.  I’m a little busy now,” I said with a smile.

 

AJ pulled up the sheets and blanket and we curled back up to each other for a while.  I was lost in thought before I finally spoke again.

 

“I never did thank you for coming to my apartment that night, AJ.  I don’t know what I would have done if you weren’t there.”

 

“Sarah, you don’t need to thank me.  I knew how upset you were and I saw Mic leave without you, I worried about you.  You were all by yourself and my heart went out to you.  Again, I should say.”

 

“Again?”  I asked while looking deep into his eyes.

 

“I’ve tried to hide my feelings for you for a very long time.  I’m glad that I don’t have to anymore.”

 

“I’m happy too,” I said just before I pulled his lips to mine.  After we broke the kiss, I mumbled a good night then soon fell asleep.
