Hello, my fellow readers and writers. I know, another story? You're thinking I'm probably insane considering I have three in progress at the moment. But since I am co-writing this with xbrokenwingsx17, I will not be just uploading all of this and writing alone. We'll be both dealing with this story and it can be found on either profile, so please do read and review it. :) I think that you'll enjoy this story, and I am quite proud of this first chapter I've written.

Disclaimer: This was all xbrokenwingsx17's idea. I'm merely assisting her with my expertise.

WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE

Chapter 1: The Proposal

He took her here. He took her away from everything else that either of them knew. Away from the outside world where they would be judged. Away from all the troubles and worries and hecticness that was the bustling and sexy 1920's.

He took her from reality.

He knew that they both needed to escape. They needed to escape everything. They needed something more. He needed that sense of security that he had never once had, and she needed that adrenaline that he gave her. That sense of love and lust that wasn't found anywhere else but between two secret lovers forced to stay apart. That absolute feeling of ecstasy.

He took away her pain.

He knew in his heart that he had no real place to have her, no right to even touch her. He wasn't as well off as she was. He wasn't as well kept, neither was he as educated. She was beautiful, stunning, smart and pretentious. She symbolized everything that he wanted in the world and by God was he going to hold onto her. Falling in love with her had been simple. But finding out that she had felt the same was nothing short of a surprise.

And so that night she gave herself to him.

The look in her eyes and the beat of her heart told him that she was anything but ready. She was innocent. She was fragile. And God was she every mans deepest desires. Every gentle touch with his hand over her curves made her purr beneath him, and each time he'd bite her neck would emit such a moan that he wanted to get more out of her. But he had to take this slow. He knew he needed her. Needed her more then anything else in his life. Everything about her consumed him.

And as he continued to stare down into those lovely amethyst eyes that were filled with absolute love and desire back up into his ocean blue ones, he lost control and gave into temptation.

"RICHARD!!!"

He stroked the young woman's cheek gently with the back of his hand, watching her as she finally slowly drifted off to sleep, covered in light amounts of his sweat. He gently put the cover over her and his lower half as he held her against his bare chest, closing his eyes as he recalled everything that had happened today, every word spoken and every sharp breath. He could hardly believe it.

He had finally found the courage to propose.

And she had said yes.

That's why he had brought her to his apartment. She said yes and told him to finally take her, that she wanted to give herself to him here and now. That she didn't care what others would think or what would happen. All she had known was that she wanted and needed him just as badly as he needed her. The risk was high, but the desire too much.

He couldn't resist.

He gently kissed the woman's pale forehead and his grip tightened on her protectively. Nothing could ever posses him to give her up.

"Forever, my lover." he whispered against her as he let his dreams take him over.

END CHAPTER

Well, I must say, for starting off this story I'm happy with myself. All of you that have read my previous works can see my style change and that i'm more of a romantic these days. It's short and yet sweet. My writing is kind of coming back to me, so that's a plus. Look for the next chapter hopefully soon, xbrokenwingsx17 is pretty on top of her writing. ;) She'll keep me in line lol.
