The thunder crashed and Rachel awoke with a start clutching the midnight blue bedspread to her soft curves. She looked at the clock: 2:00 am. He still wasn't back yet. This didn't worry her greatly because her husband Noah was always working late; he was a police officer. Rachel gingerly climbed out of bed and threw on his old football jersey, number 20, as she quietly snuck out the door. Three doors down the hall and to the left was their son Jack's room and right across from that was their daughter Liana's. Both kids were fast asleep and not the least bit shaken by the storm. They were just like Noah in that regard; they could weather any storm and slept like angels. Rachel returned to bed thinking 'I hope Noah gets home soon.'
The thunder crashed and Noah bolted upright in his chair. He was working late at the office as usual. The area was bustling with crime as of late and he hadn't left the squad room since noon. He glanced over at the clock, it was 2 am. As his eyes shifted sideways towards the clock he noticed the picture of his wife and kids. Noah resolved to be home within the hour. 'I gotta get the hell outta here,' thought Noah. By a quarter after 2 he was in the car headed home, paperwork be damned.
As Noah mounted the stairs to the second floor he thought, 'How the hell does Rachel put up with this? I'm gone all day and night.' He began to reminisce about their past with each sluggish step.
She was a truly amazing woman. They had grown up in the same town, Lima, Ohio; a completely trailer trash hell hole where no one got out or made a name for themselves. Growing up, Noah and Rachel had been best friends, thick as thieves. As children, Rachel and Noah would run around his backyard playing tag. He remembered once when they were five and he kissed her on the cheek and told her he loved her. Rachel pushed him to the ground and ran away. 'She was always hard to get' Noah thought wryly, stopping to check in on Jack and Liana.
But once Noah's dad skipped town, he became withdrawn and left Rachel in the dust too. After that Noah vowed to never let anyone remember the friendship they shared or let himself get close to a single human being ever again.
He tormented her throughout high school with slushie facials and rumors about her sex life. One night Noah had a dream starring his childhood sweetheart Rachel. She climbed through his window wearing nothing but a long flowing ivory colored nightgown. Noah awoke to a startling revelation; he had somehow fallen in love with Rachel Berry.
Noah had joined Glee club the next day in order to get closer to her. Rachel was an incredibly talented singer and Noah wasn't too bad himself. He could play guitar really well and his voice had great potential. To impress her he got up and sang a solo – 'Sweet Caroline' – and she nearly melted at his heartfelt performance. After the impromptu show, she kissed him in front of everyone. Noah had never been happier.
After some highly warranted trepidation, Rachel Berry and Noah 'Puck' Puckerman started a whirlwind high school romance. Two months later Noah replayed the scene in his backyard from when they were kids. Chasing Rachel around his yard, he caught her in a tight embrace, kissed her on the cheek and said 'I love you.' Rachel, falling right into step, pushed him to the ground and said, 'I love you too.'
A year later Noah graduated and entered the Ohio State police force and Rachel had never been more proud. Her senior year, Noah made sure to visit McKinley High in his uniform to really impress Rachel and prove to everyone that he wasn't just another good-for-nothing kid from Lima. He had become someone; someone that Rachel Berry could truly fall in love with.
When she graduated the following year, Noah splurged and bought them tickets to see Spring Awakening on Broadway in New York City. He knew that she was dying to see the show and Noah only wanted to make Rachel happy. The night before they left, Noah spent the night at Rachel's. Her parents were gone for the weekend and Noah was content to watch a movie and fall asleep next to her. But Rachel had other plans. The night started out innocent enough until Rachel changed into her pajamas. She came back to bed wearing nothing but a black bra and black lace boy shorts. Noah's jaw hit the floor as Rachel silently stalked her way over to him.
She climbed into bed, straddled his hips and shoved her tongue roughly into his mouth. Noah couldn't resist and grabbed her hips firmly while grinding up into Rachel's lace covered crotch. They had never been intimate before although they had been dating for almost two years.
Noah pulled back and asked, "Rachel hun is this okay? I wanna do whatever you're comfortable with."
He let out a sigh of relief as she replied, "Noah this is the right time. I love you."
He uttered an "I love you too" as he slid his hands through her chestnut colored silk locks. In response Rachel moaned softly against his lips and pushed down against his boxers covered erection. She felt so good writhing on top of his body and Noah couldn't wait to touch her, but he let Rachel set the pace.
She lay down beside him and began taking off his boxers slowly, torturously. After Noah was completely naked, Rachel unhooked her bra and let her perfect breasts tumble free. They'd been here before, Noah naked and Rachel mostly naked. Noah smirked to himself as he prayed she would let things go further. And she did. Rachel trailed kisses down Noah's rock hard body as she stopped tentatively at his erection. She began slowly kissing the tip and it took every ounce of self-control he had not to ram himself down her throat. Rachel continued kissing and sucking on his cock while Noah moaned and gently fisted her hair. She was working him up into frenzy when he stopped her. A worried look clouded her beautiful eyes when Noah simply stated, "My turn now" as he flipped Rachel onto her back.
He slowly slid the lacy underwear down her thighs as he planted soft kisses on the exposed flesh. Rachel mewled like a kitten and Noah loved her little noises. He gently darted his tongue out and lightly touched her clit with his tongue. Rachel let a loud gasp escape and Noah chuckled, sending vibrations against her sensitive skin. Noah began licking, suckling and nibbling the tender flesh as Rachel writhed above him. She was close; Noah attached his lips lightly to her clit as he thrust his tongue into her slit. As she shuddered with orgasm, Rachel moaned, "Oh god Noah, yes yes yes!"
Noah held her as she came down from her climax. 'God she's beautiful' Noah wistfully thought. She opened her brown eyes wide and said, "Noah I'm ready." With that, he slowly entered her waiting body. She shuddered as he began thrusting slowly. Once she adjusted to his size, Rachel grabbed onto his butt and dug in her nails. Noah grunted and sped up causing them both to grunt and moan at the delicious contact. As her second orgasm approached, Rachel brought her hips up to meet his on every downward thrust. She was so tight, Noah could barely maintain control. She reached beneath them to tickle his heavy sac, as Noah reached in between them to finger her clit. Noah kissed away her tears as they both exploded in orgasm. The lovers fell asleep wrapped in each other's arms. The next morning, after oversleeping, they rushed to the airport just barely making their flight. Rachel's skin glowed and she didn't stop smiling the entire flight.
Noah and Rachel spent the weekend taking in the sights of the bright city lights and before hopping back on the plane to Lima, Noah dropped to one knee and proposed in the middle of JFK Airport. A speechless Rachel, a miracle in the eyes of those who knew her, simply nodded her assent. The smiles that broke out on their faces were indescribable to passerby.
