As we both stood there completely naked and covered in dust with sweat glistening off our bodies, my eyes again fixated on the hairy mound between her legs.
"Now, I'm going to fuck your brains out," she said as she walked towards me.
My erection stood at full attention as she walked over to me and kissed me. Her lips were soft and wet, in stark contrast to the dry dusty climate. I reached my hand down and felt the wetness of her sex. As she pushed her breasts into me, I could feel her hard nipples. My erection grew rapidly.
I started to kneel, as if to go down on her, but she pulled me up.
Twelve hours earlier...
As I stood there looking at a large wall map of Kabul and the area south of the city, I cringed. The area just south of Kabul was no man's land. The Afghan government had no influence there and the Taliban seemed to operate with impunity in the region. In fact, a month before I'd arrived in Afghanistan, two U.S. Navy sailors had been kidnapped and killed when they got lost while trying to drive to another U.S. base on the outskirts of Kabul. Now, I would have to lead convoy directly through that area to a remote U.S. Special Forces outpost known as Camp Morehead. The irony of the camp's name didn't escape me.
One day earlier, the General's executive officer had called me to her office to tell me the General would like to attend an upcoming ceremony at Camp Morehead; the graduation of a new class of Afghan commandos. For various reasons, helicopter transportation from ISAF HQ couldn't be arranged on such short notice, so the General would need to travel via ground convoy. Furthermore, due to the timeline, it wouldn't make sense to try to return to ISAF the same day and thus everyone, including the general, would have to spend the night at Camp Morehead. After receiving the detailed itinerary from the General's executive officer, I called my team together and immediately briefed them on the next day's mission. They, like me, also felt uneasy about the prospects of driving to Camp Morehead. For about an hour we brainstormed and discuss details of the mission, including various routes and tactics we would use to try and make our convoy a harder target. After all of the details were hashed out, I told everyone to pack an overnight bag and dismissed them. I then stood around for few more minutes looking at the map.
The day had already been full of activity for me; with multiple escort missions to various locations in Kabul. Some days the adrenaline of being outside the wire could carry me almost twenty-four hours, other days, I'd be exhausted by late afternoon. At least I would end the day on a bright note; dinner with Kristen. It was almost 7:30 pm as I walked into the DFAC. By now, most people had already eaten dinner and the line had subsided. I got a tray, got in line and received a generous serving of spaghetti and meat balls. I then grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator. After getting my food, I sought out Kristen and found her at a small table on the side of the DFAC; right where she said she'd be. I sat down and let out a sigh of relief.
She smiled at me.
"Rough day?" she asked.
"No, just tired and glad it's over," I replied.
As she sat there eating her dinner, I was amused by the way she twirled the spaghetti with her fork, then cut it with her knife; allowing her to take small, neat bites.
She saw me grinning and looked up.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing," I laughed.
She resumed eating and I began to eat my food.
"How was your day?" I asked.
After she finished chewing, she responded.
"The usual stuff. Nothing too exciting," She said with a shrug.
"So, now that you've been here about two months, how do you like it so far?" I asked
"It's not bad, though at times I get stir crazy being stuck on base all day."
I nodded.
"At least you get to go off base regularly. That must help break up the days," she said.
"It does! I'm pretty fortunate," I replied.
"In fact, right before I came to dinner, I found out that tomorrow morning I have to lead a mission to Camp Morehead to take the General to a graduation ceremony for new Afghan commandos."
Kristen stopped eating and looked up.
"Oh my god! I'd love to go with you and write an article about that! Can I go with you guys tomorrow?" she excitedly asked.
I thought for a moment before answering.
"It's an overnight mission, so we're spending the night at Camp Morehead."
"That's fine." Kristen replied.
"Well, I am the convoy commander, so I guess if your boss approves, you can come. We do have a couple extra seats." I replied.
"Peachy Keen! I'll ask him right after dinner."
I laughed at her use of that phrase again.
"I'll do you one better. If your boss approves and you can come, I'll let you be my TC. You can hold the radio and map," I said with a wink.
"Score," she said with a laugh.
After we finished eating, she asked me if I'd walk to her office as she asked her boss for permission.
We left the DFAC and headed back to her office.
When we got to her office, we both walked inside; Kristen leading the way. I saw a few people sitting at computers working on articles. They looked up at me and nodded as I walked by.
Finally, we got to her boss's office. The door was open, but Kristen knocked on the door frame.
"Sorry to bother you, sir, but can I come in?" she asked.
As I stood behind Kristen, it stuck me that this was the first time, I had ever heard address a superior officer.
"Come in, Captain," a male voice answered from inside the office. Kristen and I both walked inside.
Her boss, a colonel, was seated at his desk.
After introducing me as the sergeant who taught the driver's training course, she took when she first arrived at ISAF, and the leader for the General's personal security detail, she asked him for permission to go to Camp Moorhead to write an article about the graduation ceremony for a new class of Afghan commandos. She also explained that it would be an overnight mission. The Colonel turned his chair to face me.
"Sergeant, do you have extra room in your convoy for Captain Bennet?" he asked.
"Yes sir," I answered.
The Colonel thought for a moment. He then looked at Captain Bennet. As we stood there, I felt like we were two children asking our dad for permission to use the family car.
"Ok, you can go, Captain," he replied.
"Thank you, sir," she replied.
"Just make sure you follow the Sergeant's commands since you're not use to being off base," the colonel followed up.
