A/N: This picks up right where DaniWilder's How Jennifer Keller Gains a Sister left off. Rodney and Jennifer had admitted they love each other and were making out in the back yard.

Thanks dwparsnip, I bow before your superior skills as demonstrated in Erogenous Zones! Thank you for helping me with my work. Yes, shameless plug for my friend!!!!

After relocating to the couch in the basement, it did not take the two geniuses long to pick up where they left off outside. As Rodney deepened their kiss, Jennifer felt herself sliding backwards on the couch, so he was lying on top of her. A flash of uncertainty washed over her because she had never gone this far with someone before. No man has ever been lying on top of me.

The feel of Rodney's body pressing against hers caused a variety of unfamiliar emotions and sensations to wash over her; a sense of security and safety in his arms, there would be no more terrifying disasters because he was there to protect her, a desire for something more and love. It was her love for him that kept her from slowing him down at the moment. Her first real taste of passion also kept her wanting the ache that spread throughout her body to be satisfied.

Rodney's mouth moved from her lips to kiss and nibble its way along her jaw to her ear, eliciting a squeal and some squirming under the physicist, which in turn caused him to groan and rub his aroused flesh more firmly against her. This rubbing shook her out of the daze caused by the kissing and the feel of his hands on her back and in her hair.

"R-rodney," Jennifer moaned as his mouth left her ear to kiss and nip at her neck. On instinct, her body lifted off the couch to bring it into closer contact with him.

This little movement caused Rodney to groan, "I didn't… didn't want to do this now. Not in my sister's house… with my niece and… your Dad but…"

He stopped talking and kissed her again. His tongue probed her mouth as a hand slid from her back around to cup her breast. This combined assault on Jennifer's highly sensitized body finally snapped her out of her stupor. Everything felt so good, so new that she really did not want it to stop, but she was not sure of what to do. Even though she knew the mechanics of intercourse because she was a physician, her desire to please Rodney told her she needed to slow it down. You have to tell him you've never done this before.

"Rodney," Jennifer moaned his name because he had started kissing her neck again causing her body to take over and arch itself against him.

"I've never wanted anyone this much," Rodney's hand left her breast to slide down her side and bunched up her dress. When his hand encountered the smooth skin on her thigh, he rubbed his erection against her once more and moaned. "I'm sorry. I wanted it to be slow… and some place other than a couch, but you feel so good and I want you so much. I love you, Jennifer."

"Rodney," she said his name a bit more forcefully. Her arms were wrapped around his neck and back. When he continued to slide his hand up her thigh, her fear finally gave her strength to act. She was not afraid of Rodney and knew that he would never hurt her, but it was the fact that the first time was going to be uncomfortable and she wanted it to be good for him, as well, that made her stop him. I don't think he'll be too happy if he ends up hurting me. Putting her hands on his shoulders, she pushed him. His larger size meant she would not be able to physically move him, so she needed to get his attention. "Rodney!"

Jennifer's voice sounded different and she stopped stroking his hair and started to push him away. "Jennifer? What is it?" His voice sounded different to his ears because it was deep and breathless.

Taking a deep breath and reluctantly removing his hand from her thigh to prop himself up so he could see her face, his heart twisted at what he saw in her eyes. She's afraid. "What… Why are you afraid? Jennifer, you don't believe that I would ever hurt you?"

Anguish now took over his voice. She's been so responsive. How did I read this wrong? "Please tell me what it is?"

"I'm sorry, Rodney. I'm not afraid of you. I know you would never hurt me. It's just…" she trailed off looking away from his gaze to look around the room.

"Jennifer," he said a little more firmly now that he got control of his body back. "Look at me."

When she turned her head further away, he gently touched her cheek to turn her toward him and saw tears forming in her eyes. "Please tell me what's wrong. Am I hurting you?"

The realization that he was twice her size suddenly hit him. His body was pressing hers into the couch, which was not that comfortable to begin with. His left arm really only supported some of his upper body because his right hand had been busy touching her and his lower body was pressed firmly against her. Of course you're hurting her, you idiot. Rodney quickly pushed himself up and away, so he ended up seated at the other end of the couch near her feet. "I'm sorry. I got carried away. Of course I was hurting you. I've got a lot of excess weight as you know, being my doctor and all."

"Rodney, you were not hurting me. I… I don't know how to say it," Jennifer sat up as well and moved next to him. Her hands were twisting on her lap and her hair slid over her face to form a curtain, so he could not see her eyes.

"Jennifer, I love you. And you said you loved me, too. What, other than 'I don't really love you' or 'I'm secretly married' or 'you have bad breath', could you not tell me?" Rodney knew there were plenty of other awful things this woman could say to him. But he held his breath hoping for… He was not certain, but he started praying it had nothing to do with her not really loving him.

"It's none of those things. I… I don't know why it's so embarrassing to mention. I guess the fact that I'm in my late twenties has something to do with it," Jennifer began, looking at him. If the lights were brighter, he was certain she would be blushing.

Rodney had no clue what she was talking about, but loved her and wanted everything to be right between them, so he looked intently at her and held his tongue. Let her say what she needs to say without interrupting her.

"I… I've…" Jennifer's brown eyes met his as she continued to twist her hands on her lap. Just say it. "I'm a virgin."

Rodney stared at Jennifer like she had just grown a second head. "What?"

"I said I'm a virgin. I've never done this before," Jennifer repeated as she crossed her arms over her chest and looked away.

"With anyone?" Rodney could not believe no man had ever… How is that possible?

"That is what being a virgin means," Jennifer sounded annoyed.

As he stared into her eyes, he saw the annoyance and embarrassment. "Wow. I was not expecting that one."

"I thought you should know before… Well… I didn't want to get too far and then…" Jennifer found speaking about sex with Rodney to be embarrassing. She still wanted him to make love to her; she was certain of it, but this was so new to her and it took her way out of her element.

Rodney looked a little ill, which suddenly scared her far more than thinking about her first sexual encounter. "Rodney? Is it… I mean. Is something wrong because I'm a virgin?"

"Yes. I mean no. I… I was not expecting this," Rodney stood up and started pacing. He ran a hand through his hair and clenched and unclenched his other hand.

"I… I'm sorry if you wanted someone… experienced." Jennifer barely got the words out before Rodney was kneeling in front of her and taking her hands in his. His hands were always warm as hers were always cold.

"That's not it at all," Rodney said. "Jennifer, I love you and want to be with you in every way. I'm just surprised. Shocked to be honest. How could an amazing woman like you remain a virgin for so long?"

"That was easy, I never met you," Jennifer said with an attempted smile.

"Now is not the time for joking around," Rodney said squeezing her hands slightly in his and moving to sit near her. "Losing your virginity is serious."

"I mean it. I never wanted to have sex with anyone before. That's part of why I screamed when you saw me naked. I was really embarrassed, but Jeannie said to act like nothing happened. It was the hardest thing I ever did." Jennifer was getting nervous. Rodney was acting… weird. A small part of her thought he might be happy that he would be the first one to make love to her, but you never knew how the physicist would react to a new variable.

"I…" Rodney opened and closed his mouth a couple times.

Jennifer felt her heart plunge in her chest. He doesn't want me anymore. It's in his eyes and his manners. As if on queue, the scientist crossed his arms as if he did not want to touch her and his eyes seemed to focus on something behind her, something besides her. Tears welled up. I'm going to lose him because I never had sex. "I'm really sorry Rodney. If the thought of me being a virgin troubles you so much, I'm sure I can find a guy to break me in for you."

"What!" He exclaimed as his eyes found hers again. "Absolutely not. No one else is ever going to touch you as long as I have a say in the matter." Rodney suddenly jumped up again to stand in front of her. Once he stood looking down at her, the bit of anger he just let out disappeared. "I'm the one who's sorry. I have no idea how to be with a virgin. I've never been with one before."

After his admission, he sat on the couch near her again. She looked sad and lost and he realized he was the one causing those feelings.

"I really suck at this, so I'm sorry, Jennifer. I think it's wonderful that you and I… that I'll be…your first." Rodney rambled a bit. She was so beautiful and when they kissed, it set him on fire unlike any other woman ever did. How am I going to control myself when I finally do make love to her? "We need to slow down. We can't do this tonight. Your first time needs to be really special. Not on a lumpy couch in my sister's basement with your father sleeping two floors away."

Seeing her relax and smile, he slid an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer. When she did not resist and slid her arms around his waist, he put his other arm around her and pulled her into a hug. "I love you, Jennifer. I want to make love to you. I'm sorry if you thought I didn't or that I thought less of you. It's the opposite. I think you're even more amazing and can't believe you didn't have plenty of offers…"

"Trust me, there were few offers, if any. I was younger and smarter than everyone. No guy wanted anything to do with me when he found out I was not going to sleep with him. They were gone in a heartbeat and there were not that many to start with. I can be quite intimidating, you know," Jennifer had to smile as she looked at him.

"Just proves what idiots there are in your field," Rodney said.

"Well, I'm sure there were plenty out there like you, who watched me from afar and were afraid to make a move." Jennifer smiled and then tucked her head down onto Rodney's chest as she hugged him.

"Hey. I was… I wanted…" Rodney took a deep breath, which she could feel. "I was an idiot. I should get an award for wasting time."

Jennifer could not hold in her laughter any longer and pulled back to look at him again. "We both get that award."

Rodney leaned forward to kiss her again and just as before, it deepened right away drawing moans from both of them. After a few minutes, Rodney pulled away. "No, no, no. We have to stop this. It's going to be hard, but I want this to be really special for you, so we have to wait."

"I think it will be harder on one of us more than the other," Jennifer said with a mischievous smile on her face as Rodney groaned and rolled his eyes. "Sorry, but you walked into that one."

"Ha Ha," he could not stop smiling, though. This incredible woman, who loved him, was going to give her virginity to him. Amazing. At that instant, Rodney knew he was going to marry her. He was not sure she wanted to marry him, but he knew he wanted to be with her every day, have kids with her and grow old together. Just like a sappy romantic movie. I am really getting soft in my old age. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he changed the discussion. "We need to get some sleep. We have the start of the big family outing to the mountains tomorrow evening, remember?"

"Don't think I'll get much sleep. I feel like my body is all wound up." As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized the implications. Rodney's pupils dilated, his breathing hitched and his aroused member swelled to almost break his zipper. "I mean… Well…"

"I am never going to use hot water again, so please don't make it any worse by telling me…" Rodney could not bring himself to say it. As he gave in for a moment to his fantasy and imagined Jennifer's responsiveness to his kisses translating to the rest of her body, he was forced to shift several times to relieve the pressure in his pants.

"Sorry. I guess you guys have a bigger problem with sexual frustration than woman." Once again, Jennifer's words had the worst effect on Rodney.

"You need to stop talking or forget about having your first time some place romantic. I'll have to finish what we started on this crappy couch."

"Could be worse places," Jennifer laughed and then Rodney joined her. "Can we watch a little TV? I'm really not tired."

"Okay, but grab one of those pillows on the chair," Rodney said pointing to a pile of pillows behind her.

Jennifer reluctantly left the security and warmth of his arms and got a couple pillows and a blanket. Rodney grabbed one and set it across his lap causing Jennifer to laugh once again.

"It's only… added protection," he said looking a little sheepish. "This way, I'll still be able to hold you and not… Well, stab you."

Jennifer laughed so hard; she had tears running down her face. "You are really adorable some times."

She sat next to him and leaned back against his shoulder with his arm securely around her.

"Some times? Adorable? Those words are the kiss of death to a guy," Rodney grumbled shifting to get more comfortable.

"Fine. You are extremely masculine at all times. Does that make you feel like a man?" Jennifer giggled.

"You'll just have to make it up to me some day." Rodney turned on the TV remote and they found reruns of the original Star Trek to watch. Not far into the Tribble episode, they both fell asleep.

A/N: Sorry I did not get to the good stuff, but this was such a fluffy story that hot sex right away seemed wrong for these two. It might end up being so long, I'll need two more chapters. Thanks for all the fans and the reviews of my previous works. Please tell me when this tagging gets old, it's just that there is a lot of great McKeller out there begging me to write the smut that goes along with it.
