The days stretched on endlessly. Every second without him felt like a lifetime. My husband, the love of my life, was out there in some distant, dangerous place, while I was stuck at home, helplessly waiting. The war had claimed so many lives already, soldiers who never made it home, and every time my phone buzzed or the doorbell rang unexpectedly, a surge of fear tore through me.
There were nights when I couldn’t sleep, the quiet darkness around me only amplifying the absence of him. But despite the fear, the uncertainty, we had held onto each other with everything we had. We found ways to keep our love alive, even from half a world away.
The letters he sent were my lifeline, tangible pieces of him that I could hold when the nights felt too long, when the silence became too loud. His handwriting always made me smile—neat, deliberate, full of the love he couldn’t always say out loud but wove into every stroke of the pen. I could almost hear his voice in the words he wrote.
“Hey, love,” one letter began, “Today was a rough one, but thinking about you always gets me through. I can’t wait to be back, just to hold you. You’re my anchor out here—don’t ever forget that.”
I’d trace the letters with my fingertips, imagining him writing them during those stolen moments of quiet in the chaos of war. His words were filled with hope, with love that stretched across continents and battlefields to reach me. And then, always, a joke to make me laugh, no matter how far apart we were.
“By the way,” he added at the end of one letter, “you better not have finished the last of those cookies you sent without saving me some. I’ll know.”
I laughed to myself, clutching the letter to my chest. Even here, even now, he knew how to make me smile.
Sending care packages became my ritual, my way of bridging the gap between us. I spent hours picking out things that I knew would make him feel closer to home. His favorite snacks, a small bottle of the cologne I wore, a playlist of our favorite songs burned onto an old CD, even though I knew he probably didn’t have a player out there. I wanted him to remember us, to know that every little piece of home was waiting for him.
“I got the package, babe,” he’d say over the crackling video call. His face would light up, tired eyes momentarily bright again. “You have no idea how good it feels to have something from home… from you. It’s like I’m not alone out here.”
I would smile through the tears I tried to keep hidden, knowing that even though he was miles away, I could still reach him somehow. On the nights when his unit wasn’t on the move, we’d manage a brief video call. Just seeing his face—hearing his voice, even through the pixelated screen—was like balm to a wound that never fully healed.
“God, I miss you,” he’d whisper, his voice soft, tinged with exhaustion. The lines around his eyes had deepened since the last time I’d seen him, worry etched into every crease. “You keep me going, you know that?”
“I miss you too,” I’d reply, my heart heavy. “It’s not the same without you here.”
He’d smile, a small, tired smile, but full of the love I knew he held for me. “Soon, babe. I’ll be home soon.” He’d pause, studying my face through the screen. “You look beautiful. I think about you every day. When I get back…”
I’d laugh, trying to keep it light, even though the weight of his words made my chest tighten. “When you get back, I’ll never let you go again.”
He’d chuckle softly, but the emotion in his eyes betrayed the fear we both shared. “Deal. I love you. Don’t ever forget that.”
And just like that, I’d feel whole again—if only for a little while—knowing that no matter how far apart we were, our love kept us connected. Even across miles of distance and the harsh realities of war, we held on to each other, anchored by words, memories, and the unwavering devotion that never faltered, no matter the danger.
But one of our most cherished rituals, one we started right after he left, was “The Sky at 9.” Every night, no matter where he was or where I was, at 9 PM—my time—we’d step outside and look at the sky. Whether it was cloudy or clear, it didn’t matter. We’d both be looking at the same sky, imagining we were together, even if only for those few moments. It kept us connected, grounded in each other.
Some nights, when the silence became unbearable—when the world felt too big and too empty without him—I’d sit on our bed, the sheets still smelling faintly of him, and let my mind drift. The memories would come easily, like they were waiting for me to call them back. I’d close my eyes, and there he was, standing beside me, his hand slipping into mine like it was always meant to be there.
I could still feel the warmth of his skin, the way his fingers intertwined with mine as if they belonged together. It wasn’t just the physical touch, though—it was the feeling that came with it, the unspoken promise that he’d always be there. I could picture the way he’d smile at me from across the room, his eyes lighting up in that special way, like I was the only person in the world that mattered. Just a simple look from him could make everything else disappear.
One memory, in particular, always stood out: our wedding day. I remembered the way his laugh echoed through the small room when we stumbled over our vows, nerves and excitement bubbling up into laughter. We couldn’t stop grinning at each other, like we were in on some secret that no one else could ever understand.
“You’re stuck with me now,” he had whispered through his laughter, his eyes full of mischief.
“Wouldn’t have it any other way,” I had replied, my heart swelling with so much love it was almost painful.
And then came the kiss. The first time we kissed as husbands, the world around us seemed to fade away. His lips were soft, warm, full of promise. The kind of kiss that told me, in no uncertain terms, that we had forever. I could still feel the way his hands had cupped my face, the gentle pressure of his lips against mine, the unspoken love and devotion in that single moment.
Every whispered “I love you” replayed in my mind like a favorite song, one I’d listen to over and over again, never tiring of it. I held on to those memories like lifelines, small pieces of him that kept me going when the nights felt too long, when the fear of losing him started to creep in.
It was those memories that kept me hopeful. They were a reminder of everything we had built together, of the love that had carried us through every challenge, every separation. I clung to them, knowing that they would pull me through until the day I could hold him again. Because as long as I had those memories, as long as I could remember the way he smiled at me, the way he kissed me, I knew he’d come back to me. We’d find our way back to each other. We always did.
It was a Friday afternoon, just another long day at work, trying to distract myself from the constant worry that gnawed at my thoughts. I was buried in emails, doing my best to appear normal to my coworkers, when my phone buzzed with a text from my best friend, James.
“Can you come to the break room? I need help with something.”
I frowned, confused. It was unlike James to ask for help during the middle of the workday. I stood up, stretching the stiffness from my back, and made my way to the break room.
The moment I stepped into the room, my heart stopped. There he was. Standing right in front of me.
My husband. In his uniform, looking as perfect as I remembered. His smile—god, that smile—lit up his whole face like he hadn’t just turned my entire world upside down in the best way possible. It was the kind of smile that made everything else fall away, like nothing in the world mattered but him.
Tears blurred my vision almost immediately. I froze, rooted to the spot, my body unsure of what to do with the flood of emotion coursing through me. My legs wanted to run to him, but my mind couldn’t quite process what I was seeing. Was this real? Was he really here?
“I-I… you’re here?” The words stumbled out of my mouth, my voice cracking under the weight of my disbelief.
He nodded, his own eyes shining with unshed tears. “I’m home, baby.”
With those words, the months of fear, of worry, of waiting—they vanished. In that instant, it was just us, and everything else faded into the background. The room, the people around us, the relentless ticking of time—all of it disappeared as I rushed toward him.
The moment my arms wrapped around him, feeling his solid, warm body beneath my touch, I broke down. My legs gave way, and I collapsed into his chest, sobs shaking through me as I clung to him like I’d never let go. I buried my face into the familiar fabric of his uniform, gripping it so tightly I was sure I’d wrinkle it beyond repair, but I couldn’t help it. I needed to hold him, to feel him, to know that this wasn’t just a dream.
“I missed you so much,” I cried into his shoulder, the words tumbling out between my sobs. My grip on his uniform tightened, terrified that if I let go for even a second, he’d slip away, vanish like a fleeting dream.
“I’m here now. I’m not going anywhere,” he murmured into my hair, his voice low and soothing, grounding me in the reality of the moment. His hands tightened around me, anchoring me in his presence, reminding me that this was real, that he was real. He was here. With me.
We stood like that for what felt like an eternity, just wrapped up in each other, holding on like we’d never let go again. My tears soaked into his shirt, his fingers tracing gentle circles on my back, and for the first time in months, I felt like I could finally breathe. Slowly, the world began to return around us, the edges of the moment softening as reality seeped back in.
James, who had orchestrated this incredible surprise, slipped quietly out of the room, giving us the privacy we so desperately needed. I barely noticed him leave. All I could focus on was the man standing in front of me, the man I had feared I might never see again.
My husband pulled back just enough to look into my eyes, his thumb brushing away the tear that had slipped down my cheek. His touch was so gentle, so full of love, that it made my heart swell to the point of bursting.
“Let’s go home,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
I nodded, my throat too full of unsaid words to speak. Instead, I leaned into his touch, letting it ground me, and together, we left the office. His arm wrapped protectively around me, and the world around us seemed to blur as we walked out, side by side, heading for the home we’d built together.
The moment we stepped through the door, I felt it—the tidal wave of emotions that had been building up for months. Relief, love, desire—they all hit me at once, crashing over me in waves, leaving me breathless. The need to feel him, to touch him, to be with him completely was overwhelming.
And I knew, in that moment, that we’d make up for every second of lost time.
As soon as the door closed behind us, he took me in his arms and kissed me. His lips were soft and warm, and I melted into his embrace. Our kisses were slow and tender, filled with longing and desire. His tongue slipped between my lips, sending shivers down my spine. I could feel the heat pooling in my belly, spreading through my body.
He lifted me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, holding onto him for dear life. Our lips never parted, our tongues tangled in a desperate dance. He carried me to the bedroom, laying me gently on the bed. His fingers traced every curve of my body, lingering over the places he had missed the most.
He slid my shirt over my head, his fingers brushing over my skin. His mouth trailed down my neck, kissing and sucking, leaving a trail of fire in its wake. My hands explored his body, mapping out the lines and curves that had haunted my dreams for months. I could feel him harden against me, his desire evident through his clothes.
Our clothes were soon discarded, tossed haphazardly onto the floor. He laid me back on the bed, his body covering mine, his skin warm and soft against mine. Our kisses grew deeper, more intense, filled with a need that had been building for months.
We took our time, savoring every moment, every touch, every kiss. We had waited so long, and now, finally, we had each other. His lips moved down my body, lingering on the places that made me gasp and moan. His tongue flicked across my nipples, his teeth nipping at them lightly, sending sparks of pleasure shooting through me.
His hands wandered over my skin, exploring every inch, his touch setting my body on fire. He kissed his way down my stomach, his fingers trailing along the sensitive skin of my inner thighs. He spread my legs apart, and I gasped as his tongue swirled around my hole. He moaned against me, his lips and tongue working together to drive me wild.
His mouth was warm and wet, and I could feel the pressure building inside me. My hips bucked against him, my body craving more. His saliva-lubed finger slid inside me, pumping in and out, sending waves of pleasure through me. I cried out, my back arching off the bed, my fingers caressing in his short hair.
He didn’t stop, his mouth and fingers working together, driving me closer and closer to the edge. My toes curled, and my body trembled with desire. Just when I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, he pulled back, his hand gently squeezing my thigh.
I was already aching for more. I could see the desire in his eyes, and I knew he needed me as badly as I needed him. He flipped me onto my stomach, his hands pulling my ass cheeks apart. His tongue swirled around my tight hole again, and I cried out in surprise. His tongue lapped at me, his fingers slipping inside, stretching me open.
I could feel his breath against my skin, his moans vibrating through me. He reached around, his fingers rubbing against my throbbing dick. My hips bucked into his hand, begging for more. He obliged, his fingers pumping inside me, his tongue teasing my tight hole.
I could feel the orgasm building inside me, the pressure rising. His fingers rubbed against my prostate, and I couldn’t hold back anymore. I cried out, my hips bucking wildly.
He pulled his fingers out, and I whimpered at the sudden emptiness. He rolled me onto my back, his lips crashing into mine. Our kisses were frantic, desperate, full of need.
His dick was hard and ready, and I couldn’t resist. I slid off the bed and onto my knees, taking him in my hand. I licked the tip, tasting the salty precum that was already dripping from him. I slid him into my mouth, moaning at the feeling of his dick filling my mouth.
His hips bucked, his hands tangling in my hair. He thrust into me, his dick sliding against the roof of my mouth. I could taste his precum, his need, and it drove me wild.
He groaned, his hips bucking harder, his dick slipping down my throat. I took him as deep as I could, his precum coating the back of my throat.
His hips started to shake, his breath ragged, and I knew he was close.
He pulled out of my mouth, his dick throbbing, his balls heavy with his load. He lifted me onto the bed, his body covering mine, his hands pinning me to the mattress.
He reached for the bottle of lube on the nightstand, squirting some into his hand. He slathered his thick dick with it, and I moaned as the tip pressed against my hole.
I took a deep breath, and he slowly pushed inside.
As his dick slid inside me, I can feel him stretching me open, filling me up. I could feel him throb, his dick pulsing inside me.
He started to move, his hips pumping into me, his dick sliding in and out, his precum lubing my tight hole. He thrust into me, his eyes burning into mine, his desire plain on his face.
The initial stretch was almost too much, but the pain quickly gave way to pleasure. He was gentle at first, allowing me to get reacclimated to his size. He rocked his hips slowly, his dick sliding in and out, sending waves of pleasure through me.
He picked up the pace, his thrusts growing harder, faster. His balls slapped against my ass, the sound filling the room. My dick was hard and aching, begging for release. His hand wrapped around it, his strokes matching the rhythm of his thrusts. I could feel the pressure building inside me, and I knew I wouldn’t last much longer.
My body trembled, and my legs tightened around his waist. My fingers dug into his shoulders, and I cried out as the orgasm washed over me. My dick erupted, cum shooting all over our bodies. He thrust a few more times, his body tensing as he neared his own release.
I could feel him throbbing, his body tensing, his orgasm building. His dick was rock hard, the head swollen, the shaft twitching.
He groaned, his hips slamming into me, his dick buried deep inside. He exploded, his hot cum flooding my insides, filling me up.
We clung to each other, our bodies shaking with pleasure, our hearts pounding together.
We collapsed onto the bed, our bodies spent and satisfied. We were sticky and sweaty, but I couldn’t have cared less. We were together, and that was all that mattered. I curled up against him, and his arm wrapped around me, pulling me close.
Hours later, as we lay tangled in the sheets, his arms wrapped around me and his heartbeat steady under my cheek, I finally felt at peace. The fear and uncertainty had melted away, replaced by the quiet, gentle reassurance of his presence.
“I’m never letting you go again,” I murmured into the warmth of his chest.
He kissed the top of my head, his lips lingering. “Good. Because I’m not going anywhere.”
We lay there in the afterglow, our hands intertwined, and I knew in my heart that no matter what came next, we’d face it together.
