Just Another Deployment Hookup

During my latest deployment, I hooked up with a fellow military spouse. We met at the base commissary one day and hit it off instantly over drinks after hours. There was an undeniable chemistry between us that night as we talked intimately about our lives under pressure. Later, back at his place, he turned me onto his bed. He entered me slowly but firmly, making sure to take it slow despite how much I wanted him faster. We moved together in sync, his body grinding into mine over and over until we climaxed simultaneously with intense orgasms that left us both breathless and spent. Afterwards, the reality set in, what's normal for others? Is this just a coping mechanism or genuine attraction?
