Sunday Morning – Highland Presbyterian Church
Bob held JoAnn’s hand, eyes up, as the congregation bowed their heads for the final prayer. Surrounded by friends and family, I took a deep breath, trying to relax.
Pastor Scott lifted an arm, praying. His family was coming over for lunch after the service. Outside, a gorgeous Memorial Day weekend, perfect weather to grill and be nude.
Ten days ago, Bob had been fighting in Ramadi, Iraq, with his Special Forces brothers supporting conventional US Army and Marine Corps units in a grueling urban fight against al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) insurgents.
Inside, I felt tense and on edge, sensitive to the crowd size, noise, and surroundings. Hypervigilant, the doctors said, referring to the effects of sustained combat on a person’s mind.
JoAnn squeezed his hand. A nurse who’d worked in Army hospitals, she understood and dealt with the aftermath of his return from Afghanistan in 2002.
They sang the doxology, then filed out down the center aisle following their four kids. Along the way, old friends welcomed Bob home and shook his hand. A few combat veterans gave him a knowing look and moved on.
I was relieved to get outside, the sun on my face, the smell of pine trees, and children’s laughter felt reassuring. My eldest took my arm, pressing close, her supple body comforting as we stood on the patio for refreshments. JoAnn handed me a cup of black coffee, then sought out her friends.
James, a Marine veteran of the war in Afghanistan, stopped by. He eyed Kristy while we talked about the difficulty he was having adjusting to college life. I suggested the local VFW post.
Sarah Miller slid up to them as James moved on. He caught a whiff of floral scent, rose and peony. He knew it, Very Irresistible Givenchy Sensual Eau de Parfum. For Sarah’s fifteenth birthday he’d sent her a small bottle of the perfume Liv was the face of.
“Can I ride with you? My parents will be a little longer,” she asked, her petite body vibrating under her scooped-neck summer dress.
“Of course,” I said to the young woman, an email pen pal for the last four months. I couldn’t wait to let her sit on my lap.
“Let’s get some punch,” Kristy said, taking Sarah by the hand as arms wrapped around my waist from behind, head pressed against my back.
“You’re home!” Mock goth girl Cassandra said, sliding around in front of me, tugging at her blue dress. Pulling it tight over her generous fifteen-year-old chest, I took her hands.
“I am. You look great,” I said. She had less baby fat on her face, confident when she sang solo.
Her grandfather Frank, a Marine Corps veteran of Vietnam, put a hand on her shoulder and stuck out his hand.
“Welcome home, Bob,” he said, giving another knowing look. They shook.
Last I checked, Frank was fucking my daughter, Kristy, a deal she made for golf lessons and clothes back in January. I’d fucked Cassandra a few times before I left, so I couldn’t judge to harshly.
“We’ll see you for lunch,” he said, telling her to go find Nancy.
I was alone for a moment, the green mountains of Boone a striking change from the sandy brown and shit smell of Iraq. These feelings would mellow, I’d learned, but the hyper vigilance and other feelings never truly left. That’s why I have Rachel, my sexy VA paid therapist, to talk with.
Kristy reappeared, waving my truck keys. “Mom has the twins and Kevin and Sarah.”
I glanced at the big cross on the roof as I followed Kristy to the parking lot. Images of last night’s “welcome home” family sex night in the master bedroom still fresh. We’d all changed in the last four months.
On the bed, Kristy stroked and took my big cock deep, wrapping her lips around my cock head, unashamed. Jenny leaned in, giving me her growing boobies to suck on as she ran her hands through my hair, her fingers tracing my new tan lines. She kissed my freshly shaved face as I fingered her moist slit. “Daddy,” she said in a quiet voice between kisses, my heart melting.
My curly-haired blonde baby, Lynn, lay with her brother and mom. JoAnn, the maestro, ensured everyone got time with me.
I slid into the passenger seat of my own truck. Kristy smiled, her hand on the Toyota’s stick shift. She’d ridden me hard last night, my welcome home, no virgin girl. Wavy dark brown hair falling to midback, dark Ray-Ban sunglasses, she looked good in her tight blue jeans and cream blouse behind the wheel. We’d all be naked soon.
Caroline and JoAnn
Bob smacked his lips, washing down his last mouthful of pork rib meat, slow-cooked, from Howard’s Grill, perfectly seasoned, the hickory smoke flavor lingering. The local IPA beer did its job. I’d missed this. North Carolina ribs, potato salad, beans, and grilled chicken, too, on a warm holiday weekend.
The wooden picnic table was covered by a red and white checkered tablecloth. In the middle, a chipped Tennessee Volunteers coffee mug holding small American, POW, and North Carolina flags sat, between the condiments, surrounded by trays of food. Store-bought grilled meats, along with homemade desserts and sides.
Laughter and screams from the pool and trampoline behind me, with my friends around me on the patio, familiar. All of us were naked, as was the norm at the Wilkens’s house. The neighbors were far enough away for privacy among the trees that sheltered the backyard.
Dripping wet, Sarah took my plate and returned with a Diet Coke in her hand. My lap was open now, ready to receive the teenager. Delicate yet athletic with a light tan, she had the sexy Hermione Granger look of smart and naughty. We kissed on the lips as she sat sideways in the sturdy patio chair, rubbing her ass over my cock. Six months ago, the group would have been shocked by her actions, but not today.
It’d been a while since January, the last time I’d fucked Sarah. She is a sweet girl whose emails with Bible verses and other uplifting thoughts helped keep me grounded. Caroline, her mom, smiled across from us in conversation with the newest member of our little group, Katie Nelson. Katie had a “rockin’ body” with heavy breasts and a beautiful MILF face, her shapely legs crossed as the two talked, plastic wine glasses in hand.
JoAnn had mentioned the Nelsons—friends from church—becoming “close friends,” though not in any detail, over email. Katie, her husband, and their two youngest girls were invited to the small home-nudity, welcome-home picnic; their eldest boy was busy with friends, as he was leaving home soon after graduation.
I palmed Sarah’s small breasts, testing their size and weight. “You’ve grown,” I said, flicking each pert pink nipple as she watched my hand.
“Yes, I think so, but not as big as my mom’s or Kristy’s,” she answered, cheeks going red.
“No, they’re perfect,” I said, just as the picnic table shifted the flag mug tipping.
Pastor Scott, who had the sleek build of a long-distance runner, had young Olivia bent over, her hands gripping the end of the table, his cock against her ass. The young girl had long coltish legs, with large fourteen-year-old boobs, and big areola, swayed back and forth as Scott thrust again. With an angelic heart-shaped face like her mom, she’s a future man killer. She stared back at us, biting her upper lip, showing off her braces as Scott molested her.
I shifted Sarah around, her dark eyes questioning. At fifteen, she was still learning to be assertive. I hadn’t had sex in front of these people in four months. Thoughts of Colleen, my Army nurse, came uninvited; she would be at Fort Bragg soon.
“You good?” I asked even as Sarah took my stiff cock in her two small hands. I massaged her narrow shoulders.
I glanced around. Frank had Jenny in his lap, wet brown hair sticking to her glistening body as she giggled at something he said, a hand between her thighs.
Handsome, tall Daniel Nelson stood with a smiling Kristy by the trampoline, fondling her breasts while one of hers pulled on his stiff cock. Damn, I felt a jolt of fatherly jealousy. Turning away, I let it pass. Kevin was in a corner of the pool with his sister, Lynn, and Cassandra, while the older girls, Raquel and star softball player Riley Nelson, sunglasses on, lay on beach towels on a patch of grass, their toned bodies drying. Both were physically more developed, closer to full womanhood than the rest of the teens.
Ben knelt next to Riley, holding a tube of sunblock. I noticed the changes in Ben the most: his self-confidence around the opposite sex, a new short haircut, and hints of toned muscles on his chest and arms. With purpose, he rubbed lotion onto Riley’s pert, white breasts, the three laughing, his cock stiffening. Raquel turned on her side and reached across Riley’s chest for Ben’s dick. Damn, she had a great ass, toned and tan.
Bob watched JoAnn catch the mug as Scott, who loved young girls, slid his cock in and out of Olivia. She was huffing, watching Sarah and me. Seeing the naked teen having sex with my friend was new. I pulled aside Sarah’s damp chestnut hair, kissed her neck, and pointed to the end of the table opposite them.
Caroline and Katie followed us. Sarah eyed her mom as she gripped the edge and bent over. She didn’t have to go far; she wasn’t tall, just over five feet. JoAnn smiled at me.
“Let me,” Katie said, dropping to her knees. “Welcome home.” The beautiful woman took my seven inches in her mouth, cracking her jaw. Sarah straightened up, watching, waiting.
This was a welcome surprise, Daniel’s sexy wife, whom I’d admired for years. “Please do,” I said as she licked the precum from my tip.
As she sucked, I bent, curious, and hefted one of her D-size tits. Her mouth sucked harder. Maybe it was the sight of Daniel fondling Kristy as his wife Katie sucked me off, knowing the inevitable as my daughter lay down on the grass, a beach towel under her.
Daniel knew what he was about to do was wrong, and I knew sleeping with another man’s wife was bad—usually. That made this moment even more exciting.
“Jo, a lounge pad, please,” I said. As soon as I was good and hard, I smiled and mouthed “Sorry” to Sarah. The pad lay out on the deck, so I took Katie by the hand. A surprised look on her face, her eyes finding mine, then acceptance—a nod of her head. She saw what I did.
“On your hands and knees.” We faced Daniel and Kristy off to our right. Scott slowed inside Olivia, holding her by the hips.
Katie had a body that Playboy models and porn stars would be extremely envious of, with a narrow waist, flared hips, and a little bit of padding on her ass. Her long legs put her ass crack and cunt lips at my height, heavy breasts dangling. I didn’t even question myself as I fingered her moist, hairy slit.
“Katie, I’ve wanted to do this for years,” I confessed, a thought most men in the congregation had had at one time or another. She turned her head, shaking out her dark hair.
“Come on, Bob, fuck me!” she said. The surprisingly naughty words pushed all my buttons.
I pulled my finger out and pressed the tip into her wet, hairy folds as she pushed back with her hips. On the grass, Kristy spread her legs wide for the big man. Raquel guided Ben’s stiff penis into Riley’s mouth.
I slid my cock into Katie. She wasn’t exactly tight, but her cunt walls held me as I gripped her by the hips. That thought again—Nurse Colleen. We parted too soon. My sudden orders to move to Ramadi left us no time to finish what we’d started, and she was gone, home, by the time I returned. I moved my hips, right or wrong, with long, slow strokes, enjoying myself. This was fun, sex with another man’s wife as my wife watched, approving.
JoAnn had met with Rachel, Bob’s progressive Jewish therapist, and they had a plan to support him. Tonight, she let go of Bob; inside herself, she stepped back. They were veterans of reentry after months in a war zone. He had a good therapist, and now they had home nudity and all the benefits. She kept the party simple. The new scar on his calf was a reminder of the dangers of his Army National Guard job.
Next to her, Scott pulled his cock out of Olivia and was playfully slapping his dick on Olivia’s ass as he smiled at JoAnn. Bob, with a deep brown farmer’s tan, was taking long, slow strokes in Katie. She was an attractive woman, her large breasts swaying seductively in sync with Bob’s strokes. I put my arm around Sarah’s shoulders. The young girl, suddenly without Bob, looked sad. I whispered loud enough for Caroline to hear.
“You and your mom can have him all night, just pick a day,” I said, all part of the plan. Sarah nodded and smiled, watching her crush fuck someone else.
Raquel opened Riley’s legs, a hand on the girl’s neatly trimmed vulva as the blonde softball player sucked Ben’s slender penis like a popsicle. Kevin, Lynn, and Cassandra were climbing out of the pool. Her daughter Kristy had Daniel on top of her—the girl a slut, as she’d been as a teenager.
Kristy didn’t know why she didn’t say no more often. Mr. Nelson was handsome and tall like Nathan, the college guy she liked. He’d made her laugh when he groped her tits, looking at her with desire. She’d spied him fucking her mom at the Sinclairs’ swinger party in April. After the prom dance ended, Ben drove her and Raquel.
Raquel let her dorky drummer boy date kiss her and play with her bodacious boobs, finally sucking his cock in the backseat while Kristy messed around with Ben up front, a guy she considered a friend. Raquel’s date, Ben’s best friend, was very satisfied by the time they pushed him out of the car in front of his house. His family was not into home nudity—the opposite. Ben obeyed the speed limit as Kristy gave him head, driving to the Sinclairs, arriving as the party peaked.
Now on the grass, Kristy opened her mouth to Mr. Nelson’s tongue. Yes or no—her mind was in a constant flip-flop these days. She’d said no to Frank more often, slowing the golf lessons to almost zero since the first country club tournament in May, losing interest in the game. Nathan’s parents had been there playing and watching her with Frank’s foursome, which included Raquel and the widowed banker. She and Raquel looked cute in short skirts and tight tops. She’d been fucked by both men that night. Not winners, but they’d done well enough to make Frank look good in front of his admiring friends. What had Nathan’s parents said to him about her?
Kristy opened her mouth to Daniel, sucking on his tongue while he pulled at her breasts and fingered her. He was heavy, and his cock felt big in her hand. He moved, his big, engorged cockhead piercing her as she opened wider, arms around his neck. Dad was fucking Mrs. Nelson—Katie—she could see over Daniel’s back as he pushed and pulled inside her, so big.
Bob found a good rhythm in Katie. Short strokes—his cock in her pussy looked great. He ran a hand down the curve of her back to where it joined her perfect ass. Her clean sphincter star invited him, but he left it alone for now. “Flip over,” he said, wanting to see her face. Scott lay Olivia on a chaise cushion Caroline had placed on the deck.
Nearby, Frank surprised Caroline, taking her by the hips. He kissed her neck before bending her over, his cock—freshly lubed by Jenny’s mouth—pressed against her athletic ass. The pastor’s wife’s face registered surprise. I shrugged my shoulders as Caroline looked at me, her wedding bands glinting in the afternoon sun as she grabbed the back of a chair.
“You don’t mind, Caroline? I’ve wanted to do this for years,” Frank said. He was in his early 60s, fit, attractive, with gravitas.
“I’ve been curious too,” Caroline said truthfully. Outwardly a proper pastor’s wife, she’d been far off the path of righteousness for months now. If her husband could fuck fourteen-year-olds from Sunday school, she could let the handsome church elder have at her. She wiggled her butt playfully. She was a runner like her husband and kids, with toned legs and a firm ass.
Nancy stepped out of the patio door with a fresh pitcher of sangria. She stopped, then slowly walked around her husband and Caroline to the table, not saying a word, her pale, lithe body attractive for a woman in her late 50s.
Kneeling between her thighs, Bob looked Katie in her clear blue eyes as he cupped and teased her heavy, sweaty breasts—perfect hangers. She wasn’t yet forty. I eased my slick cock back inside her pussy, both of us watching. I noticed Sarah’s forlorn look, and my heart sank.
“Honey, come sit on Katie,” I said as my wife nudged her forward. A smile broke out on the teen’s face. “You don’t mind?” I quickly added. Katie grinned, hands on my hips. She glanced up as Sarah straddled her face, slowly squatting.
I kissed Sarah in the French way, with passion, and touched her chest as I wiggled around inside Katie while she pulled the teen’s hips down over her mouth, slurping. The action was intense.
Next to us, Scott fucked Olivia as she lay on her back, face red, tits jiggling like her mom’s as her pastor lay on top of her, cock inside her. His ass rose and fell—slap, slap, slap—flesh on flesh as he told the teen how pretty she was. Bob imagined Mary would have looked like her. Next to them, Frank was behind Caroline, her generous breasts swaying as he held her hips against his cock—slap, slap, more flesh. Nancy, legs crossed on the bench, sipped sangria with JoAnn, watching the action on the patio.
To Kristy, Daniel felt good, a real man with muscles and a hairy chest, like her dad. Mr. Nelson wasn’t being so gentle with his big cock. She tried to wrap her short legs around his waist. He slowed, his attention elsewhere—his wife, perhaps with her dad. She couldn’t see now, but assumed her dad was watching. She moved a finger to her clit, just like Rachel had taught her and Oksana to do at the tantra clinic.
At first, Bob thought he was suffering from heat stroke as he watched Ben take his son Kevin’s stiff penis in his mouth, even as Riley had his cock in her mouth. Cassandra stood next to Kevin, a hand on his ass as he kissed her. God, that was kinky. His son flexed his hips. Ben held his balls as he sucked cock, a smile on his lips. Kevin squeezed Cassandra’s big conical breasts as they made out. I glanced at JoAnn. She was focused on the teens. What had I missed? Lynn, trailing water, scampered over to JoAnn, who handed her a Coke.
Right now, I was fucking close to shooting my load. Scott tapped me on the back. “You want to try?” he said, pointing at Olivia, who had her eyes closed, flushed chest rising and falling. Katie’s face was buried in Sarah’s beautiful pussy when I pulled out and changed places with Scott.
Olivia opened her eyes, surprised. She started to pull back as I pressed my cockhead against her wet pubes. “No,” she started to say as I entered her. “Oh...” She saw Scott on top of her mom and relaxed some as I took short strokes in her beautiful, tight pussy. Olivia smiled. “Daddy says you’re in the Army, like he was.”
The connection suddenly became important to her, I understood. I was a stranger. Her dad had been in the North Carolina National Guard, combat engineers, for a few years as he grew his construction business, I knew.
“Part-time, yes. I was in Iraq, you know that.” I said, treating her like an adult. “Do I feel okay?” I asked. She was small; I was big.
“It’s okay, Mr. Wilkins. You feel like Daddy. Go ahead,” she said, her teen voice touching, like my girls. With my fingers I teased her big nipples, then took hold of her hips, determined to be both firm and gentle with this beautiful girl.
JoAnn sat with Nancy, no hurry. She’d been doing this and worse since she was a young girl. While drinking an adult punch—sangria—Nancy watched her husband and Caroline fuck. She put Lynn on her lap and traced a finger along her growing, wet tuft of blonde pubes.
She watched Kevin transition from Ben’s mouth to kneeling between Riley’s thick thighs, a girl nearly two years older, a big jump in the teen world. Ben stood as Cassandra pulled him toward us. Riley noticed Kevin and started to close her legs until Raquel kissed her on the mouth, a hand teasing her pale, perky breasts. Her thighs opened like a blossoming flower. Softball players were notorious lesbians even in conservative North Carolina. Kevin made entry, slowly pressing his cock home. Raquel’s fingers had prepared Riley.
When Bob came inside Olivia, it was with a nod and a soft “please yes.” Our eyes locked as I felt her clench, followed by what felt like a gallon of cum dumped inside her. My goo dripped out her small slit as I pulled out, relieved, my cock going limp. We smiled at each other and high-fived as we caught our breath, her braces adding charm.
Scott had finished with his classic “I’m coming” call, his seed deposited in white pools on Katie’s breasts. “Lick her tits clean, honey,” he said to his daughter. Sarah’s eyes were big as she slid off Katie’s face, kneeling with her dainty backside close to me.
Scott grinned, and Katie lifted her head to watch. My pastor friend was a kinky pervert, we’d all learned. I stuck my left hand under Sarah’s ass, middle finger extended until I found her wet pussy and inserted my finger. Her hips jerked; she could not move. Olivia turned on her side, watching her friend and mom.
The only noise was the sounds of sex: slapping flesh from Kristy and Daniel. The little Raquel-led threesome had JoAnn and Nancy’s attention, while Frank held Caroline’s hips, her breasts dangling like udders, her head bowed as the older man fucked her hard. Ben and Cassandra took drinks from the ice chest and sat together in the loveseat, Cassandra’s left hand stroking Ben’s cock as they talked.
Kristy groaned as Daniel wasn’t so gentle, pounding her pussy, her breasts bouncing, her hips rolling until he pulled out, jerking himself a few times. His seed landed on her pubes. She’d orgasmed and was lost, wanting to pull into a ball, but his weight held her down, hands on her tits again.
Jenny slid onto JoAnn’s lap after lying on a blanket to dry off. Lynn continued to squirm as Nancy kept her hand between her young coltish thighs, her face flushed.
JoAnn split her attention and watched Kevin and Riley, the athletes’ strong thighs vibrating as her boy lay on top of Riley, his hips moving, as she made out with Raquel, sucking the girl’s large, beautiful breasts into her mouth. Watching her husband and Pastor Scott, Caroline let herself be fucked, making JoAnn wet between her thighs, nipples hard. She fingered Jenny to a tiny orgasm. “Dear, open a beer for your dad,” she said, pointing to the ice chest.
Frank’s fuck of Caroline was hard and fast, and soon she was fanning herself with a hand, sitting on the arm of the loveseat next to Ben and Cassandra. The busty goth girl sat on Ben’s cock, the two laughing quietly.
My cock was still resting. Sarah squatted, spent. I felt a hand on my soft cock—Olivia’s.
Daniel, holding Kristy’s hand, took a beer from Jenny as his youngest, Olivia, pulled on my cock. Cum leaked down my daughter’s thighs, just as it did down Olivia’s. Riley sat up, her strong legs wrapped around Kevin’s hips, as his body shook and a loud groan escaped his lips while Raquel rubbed her back.
I sipped the beer Jenny handed me. I checked in with Frank, his chest sweaty. He lifted a plastic cup, some kind of moonshine. All good. Nancy, still holding Lynn, was rubbing his back.
“Badminton, anyone?” JoAnn said, pointing to a net stretched between two poles set in a pair of old tires.
While sipping my IPA, I smiled. What a good start to the afternoon, I thought, as Jenny rubbed a baby wipe over my cock. Sarah was doing the same for her dad, cleaning his cock. We could have all jumped in the pool, but this was more fun. Daniel changed things up by running a wipe over Olivia’s pubes and sticky thighs, causing her to blush bright red.
“Sure, you and me versus who?” I said, feeling more normal now that I had emptied my balls. Thoughts of Colleen were still there; we’d promised to meet to talk when she got to North Carolina. And where was Oksana? She was separated from his brother, who was already at Quantico for DEA training. Hannah is busy with end-of-school-year work and her other job; she’ll come up soon.
Scott and Riley picked up racquets. Game on.
Midnight Talk
My eyes opened, instantly alert. I heard it again. My flip phone was vibrating. I had to pee, and my throat was dry. Kristy slept on her side, turned away from me. I chose her bed tonight, wanting to spend more time with her. After a long day, we were all tired, so it wasn’t hard to get the kids to bed. No school tomorrow, it was a holiday, Memorial Day, and I had an obligation.
I emptied my bladder, a long satisfying pee, and found my phone on the granite kitchen countertop. It was plugged in near the microwave, which read 11:55. Drinking a glass of water, I listened to the message from Colleen. She couldn’t sleep and let me know she was in Fayetteville. She called a couple of hours ago, and I had missed it. A text message from Tommy, he was home, just checking in on me, he’d be at a Memorial Day event in the morning. The only people who truly understood were those who’d been there, sharing the dangers.
The backyard party had wound down by late afternoon, a break before my parents and Oksana arrived for dinner. I glanced in the den, at my office, where a bed had been placed while I was gone. In the ambient light, I could just make out Oksana and Kevin. She showed her pleasure at seeing me right in front of everyone, riding me reverse cowgirl, in the living room after dinner, while the others ate dessert.
I’d already seen my dad as he’d picked me up with JoAnn from the National Guard armory on Friday afternoon. For that night, he’d gifted us a stay at a four-star country inn, just my wife and I reconnecting. So, before dinner, I spent some time with my mom, who made sure I was in good health, checking me over from head to calf with her lips—a pleasant reunion. Back to bed. Hopefully I could fall back to sleep.
I slid into bed under the blanket. “Daddy, you okay?” Kristy asked, running a hand over my chest.
My thoughts were far away. I kissed her head as I wrapped my arms around my eldest. “Just had to pee,” I said, not answering truthfully. She was my eldest, the leader of the pack. By order of birth, she had certain responsibilities as the eldest. The same responsibilities had fallen to me.
“Just thinking. I had messages on my phone from a couple of Army friends,” I said truthfully.
“Tell me, Daddy,” she said. I could feel her eyes on me in the dark. “I can take it. I know you got hurt over there.” Her warm breath brushed my cheek. Under the blanket, one of her feet found the scar on my right calf, courtesy of a 7.62 rifle round.
“Okay, I’ll tell you what I can,” I said, pulling her on top of me under the blanket. We were naked, intimate, as my hands found her ass, resting there.
Before we flew home, Major Jenkins told Tommy and me that General McChrystal had endorsed the awarding of the Bronze Star with Valor device for rescuing the injured Kiowa helicopter pilot under fire. Plus, the CIA had submitted awards for the three of us for the successful covert mission in Turkey, led by my sister Monica. I now had a Purple Heart award to add to my collection, which felt undeserved. Then there was the fighting in Ramadi, urban combat of the worst kind.
I told her—not everything—about my job coordinating surveillance missions and analyzing intelligence in the TOC in Balad, the field missions supporting Special Operations teams from Delta and the SEALs, sometimes getting in gun battles. She asked pointed questions as she lay on my chest. How did it feel to get shot? Was I ever scared? It fucking hurts, and yes, being scared keeps you alive. Naturally, I did not mention Aunt Hannah or Monica, but I did mention Liv’s visit in February. Kristy leaned forward and kissed me. “I like her,” she said. I hesitated and mentioned Colleen, the nurse I had met who treated my wound, and how we became friends. I tested the waters with Kristy. How would she react?
“Dad, you mentioned this nurse McMurphy’s name a couple of times,” she said, sliding off me and tucking herself under my left arm. “Did you sleep with her?” she asked. A year ago, that would have been a real problem to answer truthfully or even to have the question asked.
“No, I didn’t, but we spent time together after our shifts,” I said, keeping it PG as I explained the pain Colleen had felt as a nurse after a year in Iraq, and how I let her unwind with me after our night shifts with a drink and sleep.
“Oh, I see. Will you go visit her at Fort Bragg?” she said, then, “I would like to meet her.”
