What is it about Winter that makes people crave love and romance? It is at this particular time of the year that people are in a desperate search to find someone to cuddle with in order to keep warm. Meanwhile, at the Garwin house there is definitely love in the air as moans of great love and pleasure echo throughout Reid's bedroom. It was midnight and it was completely dark. The only light was the moonlight that shined into his room revealing their glistening, sweaty bodies bundled together. It was slow, hard thrusting, "the thrust of love" as Reid calls it. He was on the top, resting his forehead against hers and stared deeply into her eyes. One of her legs wrapped around his lower back and the other resting on the back of his right leg. His hands pinned hers down against the bed, as if they were holding hands. Their fingers intwined and caressed each other.

"Mmm, damnit Mr. Garwin," she paused "you make me very happy in places that, that aren't my heart." Sophia said between breaths.

Reid smiled and kissed her passionately, then began to thrust slightly faster as he felt a strong tingling sensation come upon his hardened member. Sophia felt it as well, she lifted the leg that once layed upon his right leg and placed it over his right shoulder. He caressed her neck, collarbone and breasts with his lips and warm breath. They were finally reaching their climaxes, she arched her back and her mouth opened followed by a soft cry of joy. He grabbed onto her hips and squeezed them tightly as he buried his face into her chest and orgasmed, "Soph-Sophia! Fffuh-fuck baby!". After they came to their destinations, he just layed ontop of her, his head was set on her chest as she ran her petite fingers through his hair. He loves the way it feels as her stomach and chest move up and down when she breaths.

"I could stayed nestled inside you forever." Reid twisted the white sheets with his fingers. "Cela etait remarquable (that was remarkable)." Sophia expressed.

That was another thing Reid loved, when she spoke French. He rested his chin on her chest and looked up at her with his glowing baby blues and responded, "Je consens (I agree)." They smiled at each other, Reid rolled off of her and sat on the side of the bed looking out to the moon. He'd been thinking a lot lately, everytime they got done making love he seemed distracted with thoughts. Sophia always wondered what about. She just stared at the back of him and ran one of her slim pointer fingers down his spine. Reid got goosebumps and closed his eyes, then swallowed. Half of him was extremely happy and joyus, the other half was nervous and slightly concerned. He couldn't help but think to himself, what is Pogue gonna do when he finds out Sophia and I are still having an affair.

Sophia was Pogue's cousin who was born here in the states but moved away to France with her mother and father when she was 10 years old. She'd come back every summer and visit them. With the exception that it was her Senior year of high school, they let her stay for the school year. She was Reid's first and only love, his first everything. First kiss, first blowjob and not to forget, the girl who took his virginity when he was 15 years old. Here they are at age 18, still in love. Tyler and Caleb always knew, they also knew how upset Pogue would be. Being that every other girl that Reid hooked up with, he treated like a piece of meat then never spoke to them again afterwards. Reid can't keep this from Pogue anymore, how am I going to tell him. How can I convince him to let me love her as I do.

Reid turned to Sophia, who had lit up a cigarette and was putting on her pink silk panties and bra. She looked at him, "What's on your mind?" she questioned, as they both crawled back into bed. He grabbed her cigarette to take a drag. She took her pointer finger and poked his temple, "What's going on up here?" then smiled and kissed his shoulder. He gave her, her cigarette back and looked at her, a grin came over his face.

"I can't live a lie any longer." Reid declared. "We need to stand up to Pogue and tell him that he can't control our love life." Sophia took a last drag and put her square out, she blew out the smoke and sighed.

"I can't even imagine how to go about doing so. It makes me nervous just thinking about it." Sophia brought her knees up to her chest and immersed her head into the palms of her hands.

Reid rubbed her back, "I'll think of a way. I'm gonna to sleep, okay sweetheart." Reid leaned in to kiss her goodnight, "Alright?" he said, Sophia looked at him and gave him a tender kiss.

The next morning Reid woke up to an empty right side of the bed. He felt confused and disoriented for a minute. He tumbled out of bed and went to take a morning pee, he showered and did all the neccessary morning rituals.

While walking down the long flight of stairs he smelt something highly delectable, French Toast and bacon. As he walked into the kitchen, he hesitated and his eyes widened. Both Sophia and his mom were cooking and talking, he heard the word "intimate" come out of his mother's mouth. Reid's mom knew about their "secret" relationship. She was okay with them staying the night together, she never for one second would've thought that they were sexually active together though. The two women looked at Reid, they stared and smiled.

"Uh, morning?" Reid spoke with an awkward vibe and continued walking over to the large island in the middle of the kitchen. "Morning. Hungry?" Reid's mother inquired. "Kinda..." he looked over at Sophia who was grabbing dishes and silverwear out of the covards and drawers.

"What were you two discussing?" Reid questioned curiously and alerted himself that maybe he didn't want to know. "Us." Sophia conveyed quite quickly. "Ohhh." He surprisingly, was not surprised. "What about us?" Reid closed his eyes and thought to himself, pleeease don't be embarrassing.

Sophia sat next to him on one of the stools placed at the island and kissed him on the cheek, "Our love life. Orange juice?" she smiled and handed him a glass of fruity, orange liquid. Reid looked at his mom who was looking at him, his eyes darted down staring at the orange juice.

"I'm glad to know you use protection Reid." his mother vocalized being the outspoken, open woman that she is. Reid felt embarrassed and rested his face in his hands, "Can we not talk about this? Please, I'm begging you." He declared. Both his mother and his lover giggled.

"Reid I gave birth to you. I think I know a little bit about sex. It was obviously going to come up one day." His mother spoke intently. He looked up at her with wide eyes. He just couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Sweetheart, I was asking her advice on how we should tell Pogue." Sophia placed her hand on his leg and rubbed it. "I told you I'd handle it." He retorted.

"I know," she said looking into his eyes, "sometimes though you mean to say one thing and end up explaining it in a completely different way." Sophia stated firmly. "That's why I am afraid for you to try and explain it to Pogue, you might rub him the wrong way." Reid's mother nodded. He felt for this first time in his life he actually cared about proving himself to people. It's just that he's scared...because he doesn't know how to.
