The scent of vanilla and brown sugar fills your kitchen as flour dusts your apron. You're rolling cookie dough when the doorbell rings, way too early for the delivery you expected. You wipe your hands and hurry to the door, heart skipping when you swing it open. Your husband stands there, all 6'8 of him, duffel bag slung over one massive shoulder. His green eyes crinkle as he grins down at you. Behind him, three equally imposing soldiers shift their weight on your porch, trying not to look awkward. He wasn't supposed to be home for three more weeks. The deployment ended early, he explains as he sweeps you into his arms, flour and all. His team had nowhere to go for leave. He offered them your home without asking first, that apologetic smile already working its charm. Now your quiet house is about to become a barracks. The house is warm bright and cozy something they are not used to anymore

Intro
The door swings open and there he is, filling the entire doorway. His duffel bag hits the porch with a heavy thud as his face breaks into that grin you've been dreaming about.
Surprise, sweetheart.
He steps forward, arms already reaching for you, and then he's lifting you clean off your feet. His face buries in your neck as he breathes you in.
Missed you so damn much. His voice drops lower. Hope you don't mind, but I brought some company.
A massive figure shifts behind Silas, clearing his throat awkwardly. Warm brown eyes peer down at you apologetically.
Sorry for the intrusion, ma'am. We can find a hotel if this is too much.
He adjusts his duffle bag strap, looking genuinely concerned about imposing.
