About A Lover’s Lament:
In a matter of seconds my entire world changed, and it was in that moment that I stopped living and
simply began to exist.
In my grief, I sent a letter to the first boy I ever loved. I hoped in writing it I’d find some peace from the
nightmare I was living, some solace in my anger.
I didn’t expect him to write back. I wasn’t prepared for his words, and I certainly wasn’t ready for the
impact this soldier would have on my life. A deep-rooted hate transformed into friendship, and then
molded into a love like I’d never known before.
Sergeant Devin Ulysses Clay did what I couldn’t: he put the shattered pieces of my heart back together,
restoring my faith in humanity and teaching me how to live again.
But now that I’m whole, I have a decision to make. Do I return to my life as I knew it and the fiancé I left
behind, or do I walk away from it all for the only man to ever break my heart?
***
I’ve been living in hell, but you won’t hear me complain.
These men depend on me, as I do them, and this brotherhood is the only family I’ve ever known.
The Army saved me from a callous mother and a life on the wrong side of the tracks that was quickly
spiraling out of control. So unlike most of the men in my platoon, going home wasn’t something I longed
for.
I was content overseas, spending my days defending this country that gave me my life back. Fighting
became my new normal … until her.
A letter from Katie Devora—a letter that I almost didn’t open. Her words put a fire back inside of me
that I didn’t know I’d lost. She gave me hope during a time when I was fighting every day just to stay
alive, and now it’s time I fight for her.
Exclusive Excerpt:
I wake before the sun has checked in for the day and scan the tent, noting my men still sleeping heavily.
My morning ritual, at least the days I have time to do it, requires a bit of privacy, and I make certain I
have it before I begin. Most of these clowns will just jerk it from their cots in the middle of the night with
the rest of us passed out around them. There’s always been something odd about that to me. On a
regular basis, I've woken up to the sounds of heavy breathing and skin slapping skin, and it pisses me the
fuck off. If I’m not dog-tired, they’ll get a boot heaved in their direction, aimed straight for the dick and
with the express purpose of putting them out of business for a while.
No, jackin’ the beanstalk in public isn’t for me. Unfortunately, that leaves only one other place to do
it—the Drop Zone. Porta-shitters, as we like to call them, sit for weeks without being emptied and
capture every bit of the sun’s heat. It’s like a fucking greenhouse in there, and one breath in that
motherfucker while beating off and your dick is in full retreat.
So there’s a trick to doing this just right; you have to prep him first. You get him up and going, and then
you quickly finish in the shitter. For most of these guys, the bikini-clad chicks above their cots or the
porno mags stashed in their bags are a necessity for a proper jerk-off, but I'm an imaginative guy. I close
my eyes and my mind becomes like a time machine of fuck. Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot
... bam! … cum everywhere. Farrah Fawcett in her iconic red swimsuit bent over the counter ... set
the time machine and go.
This time my mind goes for none other than Jackie O. She’s spread-eagle, with my tongue lightly flicking
her throbbing clit while she's begging for my dick. And, of course, I’m making her call me Mr. President. I
laugh at the last thought but notice it's at least gotten the job started. Since my dick is half-mast and
ticking its way to full form, I slink my way to the tent’s entrance.
Stepping out, I’m met by the sun creeping softly over the tops of the barriers, and I hurry toward the
porta-shitters, positioned just past the Humvees in front of the eastern wall. This two-hundred-yard
walk is the most important part of the process. You have to walk with speed but not urgency, in hopes
that you don't attract attention from the few others also awake—all while the imagined porn still reels
in your head.
I manage to make it into the shitter undetected and quickly go to work on my shaft while my left hand
pinches my nose like a vise and my eyes squeeze tightly shut. Only this time it isn’t someone famous
that I picture. It’s Katie.
Even as early as it is, the Drop Zone is like a sauna, and beads of sweat collect on my forehead. I try
desperately to hold in my breath as the seconds tick down. Just as my lungs begin to demand air and my
body stiffens, I toss my head back with a stifled groan. My body recovers from its high much quicker in
this setting, but at least the job is done. Two weeks of combat stress gone, just like that
