When I open my eyes, everything comes flooding back: My initiation and how I fell in love, my family, my friends, my fears. I find both Tobias and Caleb starting at me, wide-eyed and hopeful. "I remember everything now." I whisper, unsure of what else to say or do.
Caleb leaves the room and I crash my lips into Tobias', wrapping my arms around him as we are both lost in the moment. We pull away breathless and locked in each other's eyes. I want more, I want so much more but I know this isn't the time or place.
"That's my girl." Tobias laughs as he puts an arm around my shoulders and leads me forward toward the door to home. I spend the walk home feeling happy and relieved of the stress in trying to get my memory back.
We walk into the house and he pins me against the door as we continue what we were doing earlier. I feel the taut muscles of his arms hold me as I run my fingers through his hair. "Tris, we should stop soon. I don't want to pressure you into anything you're not ready for." he breathes.
"No, don't." I tell him. "I don't want to stop. I want you. I've waited long enough." I reply, gasping as he nibbles on my ear. "You gotta stop doing that!" he exclaims. "What?" I ask, taking his face in my hands "Saying things that make me want to kiss you." he answers.
"Then I should keep doing that." I tease. "I want you, Tobias. I love you." "I love you too." he replies while continuing to kiss me. Our kisses grow hungrier and more passionate as we are soon undressing each other.
I take in the sight of his muscular, sculpted body. "Are you sure, Tris?" he asks once more and I nod enthusiastically. I wrap my arms around his neck.
He kisses me again, more insistent this time, his hands squeezing my waist. His breaths, his body, my body, we are so close there is no difference. Then he works his way down to my breasts where he sucks on my hardened nipples and I moan.
I lay on the bed as he gets on top of me and we each other in closely; neither one of us wanting to rush things. I stroke his length as he places a finger than two in my womanhood as I become wet.
"Are you ready, Tris?" he asks quietly and I nod. He works his way inside me slowly and I grit my teeth in pain until I adjust to the feeling. Soon, he is pulsing in and out of me and we both scream out in pleasure. We're both panting afterwards and saying "I love you." as we rest and fall asleep tangled up in each other.
I have my memory and the love of my life back and that is all I need right now. I get dressed to find Tobias in the kitchen already making breakfast. "Good morning." I greet. "Good morning, Tris. Are you hungry?" he asks as my stomach growls.
"I'll take that as a yes." he answers for me and I find myself staring at him. He's shirtless and I can't seem to take my eyes off of him. I sigh louder than I intended to and he laughs. "You're very distracting when you're shirtless." I murmur.
"Only for you, Tris. Only for you." he replies and I laugh as I stab a bite of eggs with my fork. How did I get so lucky to have this; this life with him? I don't know, but I want more of it and I am never letting go.
