Chapter 1 – Moonlight Dip
Hell no, I'm not a hero. I was invited to a get-to-gather in the Persian Gulf, but it was more a political power ploy than it was a necessary engagement of a life-threatening dictator as Washington claimed. I was luckier than some. I'm home now and all of my vital parts are working well.
I can definitely declare that all of my working parts are indeed working. My neighbor helped me confirm that fact. It was about nine o'clock on a nice spring evening, and I was still regaining my grip on civilian life once again. My recent experiences had made me feel much more comfortable outside under the stars than hidden away in some structure. Tonight I had chosen the back yard at my Mom's house.
Mom's a nurse, and as such, she is apt to be called to work some of the damnedest shifts I have ever heard of including the one tonight – 8:00 pm to 4:00 am. Mom and I had become intimate before I went to the Middle East, so my homecoming yesterday was a fucking blast – literally. Mom left for work humming, and I had the best night's sleep I've had in months. Now it was just me and the stars. Or so I thought.
"Harry?" said the voice from across the fence. "Harry, is that you?"
The voice was female, very soft and soothing, yet seductive.
"Yes, I'm Harry," I called back. "Who wants to know?"
"My name is Julia," was the reply. "I'm your new next door neighbor, and by the way your Mom brags on you, I feel we are already old friends. She and I have become quite close over the last few months. She's a lovely person."
"You'll have to excuse me, Julia," I confessed, "but I feel like I am talking to the wind. Where are you?"
"Oh my," she cried and I heard a click as the lights illuminated the pool. "This is my favorite time to enjoy the pool, and I usually do so in the dark. Come join me. Please."
With the lights on I could see that I was talking to an attractive strawberry blonde somewhere around Mom's age. She was leisurely making her way to the shallow end of the pool when I confessed.
"I don't think I can find my swimming trunks. I'm not even unpacked yet."
"I don't see the problem," Julia said as she stopped in the shallow end of the pool and stood erect. I began to become erect at the same time. Julia was butt-assed naked, and she was lovely. The water made her body glisten in the artificial light around the pool, and her ample breasts made me get harder as I stored this vision in my memory. "Chicken?"
"Not hardly," I boasted as I bounded over the fence. "I'm all yours."
