was perishing. In a matter of seconds he had his shirt off and trousers down and was lying naked next to Jenna with his multicam combat jacket over the top of them for extra warmth. He felt her hand slide down his torso and then onto his hip. Slowly, he could feel her fingers tiptoe over his skin towards his cock. In the afterglow of the sunset and the lights from the barracks reflected off the autumn clouds, he could see her smiling at him.
    â€˜You warm enough now?’ he whispered as he brushed his thumb over her nipple. Jenna shivered, but Lee wasn’t sure whether it was from desire or the cold.
    â€˜I will be in a minute.’ She gave a naughty giggle as her fingers finally lighted on his penis, which instantly responded. She kissed his nose.
    Lee slid his hand between her legs and, finding her deliciously wet and ready, plunged in and began his rhythmic thrusting. Beneath him, Jenna squirmed and made obligingly encouraging noises, and Lee pumped deeper and harder until Jenna made some little yips of delight as she raked her fingernails down his back. A minute later Lee came too and he collapsed, spent and trembling on top of her, his body slick with sweat.
    â€˜Thanks, babe,’ said Jenna, panting slightly. She kissed his nose again and gave him a gentle shove.
    Lee rolled off her, but stayed snuggled up close. ‘Say if you feel cold,’ he said quietly as he gave her a cuddle. It had hardly been an ideal shag, but better than nothing, and Jenna seemed happy enough, which was all that mattered.
    â€˜Well…’ said Jenna.
    â€˜You want to go back in the warm?’
    Jenna squinted at her watch. ‘Maybe I should be getting home soon. Mum’ll have a go at me if I wake up Shona, so I can’t be too late. God, I so can’t wait till we get a quarter.’
    â€˜We’ve got a long weekend coming up. I thought we could go and see my mam.’
    â€˜Your mum? You sure?’ Jenna sounded wary. ‘She wasn’t happy about you and me getting hitched.’
    â€˜It’s time to build bridges. Besides, she’s had time to get used to the idea now.’
    â€˜You sure?’
    â€˜Jenna, I’m twenty-three. I’ve my own life to live. Mam’s got to get used to the idea that I love her, I always will, but I’m putting you and me first now.’
    Jenna didn’t look convinced. ‘I suppose. But on top of her not wanting you to sign up and join the army… I mean, she has got reasons to be mad at you, like getting married when you knew she was dead against it.’
    Lee pulled on his T-shirt. ‘Then it’s time she got over it. When she gets to know you properly she’ll see exactly why I fell for you, and as for that other business – just because Dad got killed in Iraq doesn’t mean it’s going to happen to me.’
    But that was the main problem. His mum had been against him joining; she’d lost her husband because of the army and Lee was her only son. It had taken him till he was twenty-two to get the courage to go against her. It was that, or die of boredom in civvy jobs. And, having defied his mother once, it had been easier to do it a second time when she’d expressed her doubts about Jenna’s suitability as an army wife. She might have got used to the fact that Lee was in uniform, but she was still very sniffy about his missus.
    â€˜You can’t blame her for wanting to keep you safe.’ Jenna leaned forward and gave him a kiss, tactfully glossing over the fact that she had a mother-in-law who disliked her. ‘I don’t want anything to happen to you either. So – have you actually asked her yet if we can stay? Because I’m sure I can get away if she’s OK about it. Zoë owes me a weekend off. Didn’t seem any point in asking
not
to work Saturdays when you were away.’
    â€˜I’ll ring her tomorrow.’ Lee stepped into his trousers and then zipped them
