I woke up with a hot pussy, or rather something hot was on my crotch and I looked down. Dick was on his knees and held a very warm wash cloth against me, swabbing my thighs and very softly wiping away the residue of my lust. I grinned at him. He was concentrating on his task and touching me so lightly I shivered.
Dick looked up and smiled. "I'm afraid we made a wet spot."
I smirked and realized I was on the very edge of the king sized bed. I grinned and said, "What another one?"
He laughed softly and tossed the wash cloth onto the floor, picked up a hand towel and dried me gently then tossed it away. He lay beside me, very close and kissed my lips softly. He brushed my hair back and kissed me on the cheek. "I woke up and you were in my arms so warm, smooth and soft. I thought I was caressing an angel."
My breath caught in my throat and I croaked, "Oh Slugger you're going to make me cry."
He grinned and kissed me softly. "Where have you been all my life Gwen?"
I sobbed once and held back the tears that threatened to fill my eyes and kissed his cheek. "Damn Slugger you did, you've made me cry."
He smiled sweetly and kissed my breast and blew his scalding breath against my rising nipple. "Please tell me that those are from joy and not regret."
I pulled him to me and hugged him, and let my joy stream down my cheeks unashamedly. "Oh yes, Slugger, it is sheer unadulterated joy," I whispered in his ear. He held me softly, his hand stroked my ribs and I sobbed again. I decided that I couldn't hold it back any longer. I put my face to his neck and sobbed against him.
He rolled me against his warm strong chest and made little soothing sounds in my ear. That just made me sob all the harder and the tension that had been in my heart for the last seven months began to subside as I cried out the frustration of being cast aside for a thirty-something slut by my boyfriend of three years. That was really why I had come to Portland, to get away from the heartbreak of a broken romance.
Dick held me and made soothing sounds in my ear and I let out all the pain and frustration. I had to. I had it bottled up inside me so I poured it out on Dick's strong shoulder. I felt a lot better as I pulled back and laughed. "I hope you don't think I'm a silly woman Dick," I said as I wiped my face on the pillow.
"Silly? No, Gwen, you're not a silly woman. Fun loving and kind of screwy maybe but I never though you were silly." He smiled at me and kissed me softly, brushing the hair out of my face and making me cry again just a little. "I'm the silly one," he said.
I laughed a little and said, "You silly, I can't believe it."
He chuckled low in his chest and kissed me. "Yes, Gwen, I was the silly one tonight. I went into that bar figuring I was going to, to get a blowjob. Just to relieve the pressure and maybe find someone who could, I don't know maybe love me, if only for the moment? I'd never done that before."
I grinned. "Really?"
He smiled and pressed me close with his hand on my back, "It's okay if you don't believe me Gwen, but it is true. I'm not gay. It's just that I was so heartbreakingly lonely." He sighed and took a deep breath,
"When I was in the Army there were all the other guys, I had friends or at least buddies, you know, I wasn't alone. After I got out and moved down here, I got the job of driving Derrick around and lived above the garage, alone. I had never been alone in my life, not really.
"At first it was good. I could forget about the pain and fear. I thought I was happy, but Derrick isn't the easiest person to be around and I couldn't seem to make any other friends. I started to drink a little and wandered into a bar. Robert was friendly and he reminded me of so many of my boys that I had sent home in body bags, but he was alive and he could laugh and make me laugh and I guess I kind'a adopted him."
I smiled and nodded. He was trying to empty his own pain. I felt it as he snuggled closer to me. I rolled over and lay his head on my shoulder. I cuddled him and stroked his arm, kissing him on the top of his head. "Go on," I said.
"Well I was never very good with women. I guess I intimidate them with my size. I dwarf most all of them and they're so needy and helpless. I can't seem to find one who is confident enough to make up her own mind. I've had a few good relationships, but they never lasted.
"Oh, I don't really blame them, I mean who would want to hookup with a man who might be on the other side of the world tomorrow, knee deep in blood, wiping his best buddy's guts off his face after a artillery shell had exploded and turned the man into chunks so small you couldn't tell what it was when you picked up the pieces."
I felt a hot tear drip onto my chest and I hugged him closer. "What about Robert?" I stroked his head and took a deep breath. I was now a Doctor again. Dick was so strong but even he had problems.
He laughed a little. "I first met Robert when he was working in a dive out near the Kitrick's place. I used to go over there to just be around people, you know. It was a dingy little place but the bartender had been in the Hundred and First and we talked about the Army and stuff. Robert was waiting tables and I got to know him a little.
"Well, after a while we got kind'a friendly. I was sitting watching the TV one night and sippin' beer at the bar, right next to the waiter's station. Robert came up and said something, some kind of a joke. I wasn't paying attention so he pinched me on the side. He got me right on the spot where I had taken some shrapnel and it hurt really bad.
"Next thing I knew, I had his throat in my hand, he was on his back on the floor and I was just drawing back to smash his face. His eyes were open real wide and he was just frozen there."
Dick sighed and kissed me on the chest. "I looked in his eyes and he reminded me of Bobby Burton."
I asked him, "Who's Bobby Burton?"
Dick looked at me and laid his head on my chest. "I had my hand on Bobby's neck wound and the blood was spurting out and he said, "Don't let me die, Sarge, a couple of times then he did." Dick sobbed a few times. "Oh Bobby," he moaned and held me real tight.
I stroked his head and held him to me. My own heart was breaking and I felt tears in my eyes, but I blinked them back and said very calmly, "Robert, tell me about Robert."
Dick sniffed and took a deep breath. "Well Robert's eyes were about the size of manhole covers, I got hold of myself and apologized and helped him up. I told him about the shrapnel wound and how he shouldn't fuck with me 'cause I could kill him without even knowing what I was doing.
