I was trying to make something a lot different, but I got this instead. I'm pretty happy with it to be honest. Enjoy!

This, right here was wrong. It was borderline of going against that small piece of jewelery that she had worn since the day Eli met her, over a year ago. Okay, she had worn it longer than that, but still. A few weeks after her parents divorced, she had taken it off. Eli knew she was questioning her faith. Luckily enough, it wasn't in a bad way. She was becoming free.

They had been on the beach, close to sunset. Of course they shared kisses through out the night, but this was more then an innocent little kiss. More than just a couple not so innocent kisses, to be honest.

They ended up on their beach blanket, Eli on top of Clare. It was a full on make out session, turning more steamy then he had ever imagined St. Clare to ever do out of wedlock.

His left hand was cupped to her face, as his right hand explored various exposed areas of her body. He stopped short of her clothed breast, not daring to go on, unless she gave him a signal.

Their kisses were passionate, and he was certain she could feel his excitement down under against her bare thigh.

Clare had her hands tangled in his hair, trying to pull him closer, if that was even possible. Her free hand however, made its way to his chest. She wanted to be bold. She decided to creep it past his belly button, going into unknown territory. Eli whimpered.

They broke their kiss. Both panting, Clare decides to kiss his neck. She nibbled at it, knowing it would leave a mark.

"I love you.." he whispered.

In fact, he did. He loved her very much. He almost felt guilty for what they were doing. Or almost doing. Or going to do? Whatever the case, he wanted her to be ready.

"And I love you." She said, pulling her lips away from his neck momentarily.

He also wanted to make love to her, not just have sex. He wanted to connect in the deepest way possible. He wanted to feel every inch of her body, and he hoped she wanted the same. No, he knew she wanted the same.

"We don't have to go any further if you're not ready. I can wait." Eli pulled away from her. He didn't want her to make a mistake.

Clare had taken her lips off of him. He could tell she was blushing, though it was hard to see.

She took his face in her hands. She tried looking him in the eyes. It was hard, since there wasn't much light near them.

"Eli.." she started. "I love you, and I want you. I'm ready. God would want me to make love with someone I in fact love, and not just if I'm married. People get married and aren't in love." She kissed his forehead.

She was shedding the old Clare. Taking off the Catholic uniform, letting her hair down. She had even cut it. She got laser eye surgery, and broke her expensive glasses. She fell in love, and it wasn't just the puppy love she had for K.C. She wasn't the same Clare, and she was okay with that. She was shedding her innocence, and she was okay with that.

She had Eli, after all.

Did you enjoy?

Read and Review?

I in no way meant to insult anyone's religion. I personally feel like Clare is going to change her beliefs, and it will be good for her, personally. That was all I meant.

^ I'm putting this ahead of time. xD

Also, This might be a one shot. If you want me to continue, actually having a sex scene, then say so. I can only know with reviews.

Clare is not meant to be protraid as a slut. She's just about to make love with someone she loves very much.

(They have been dating at least two years by this time)
