Neither remembered much of the silent ride to his apartment. Standing outside his door he ran a finger down her cheek causing her to smile in that shy way that he knew was only for him. It was her smile for him. Leaning forward he kissed her lips making sure that she was right where she wanted to be. That she wanted to be here with him for her and not just for him.

His lips touched hers and again she was spinning into a world where nothing was what she ever had known or would ever know again. His lips were soft but his kiss, even this tender, was strong and demanding. She responded by running her tongue across his closed lips asking permission to a place she hadn't been yet but desperately wanted to go.

He denied the access she wanted. Sliding the key in the lock he pulled her into the privacy of his apartment as he kept her close. Turning from her he relocked the door and then took her wrap from her hanging it next to his own coat. She moved toward him only he held her at bay.

She froze when his gaze stopped her. She braced herself for his change of heart and explanation of why they couldn't move forward. Instead she was greatly surprised as he knelt in from of her slipping her heels from her feet. Standing as he never once took his eyes from her while waiting for her to make the next move.

She placed her fingers to his bow tie and glided it from his collar then pressed a kiss to his neck after unbuttoning his top shirt button. Her hands traced his arms taking his wrists one at a time and taking the cuff links off and setting them on his door side table. Stepping back from him she raised an eyebrow indicating for him to take his turn.

Placing his hands on her waist he turned her from him as he began to release the pins that held her soft hair up. With every pin he removed he kissed the back of her neck. When her hair was down he ran his fingers through it making sure he didn't forget any pins. He pushed her dark curls to the side to kiss the side of her neck once more before stepping in front of her to await her next move.

She reached out for him as her fingers boldly pulled his shirt from his pants while undoing the remainder of the buttons. She wasn't disappointed when more and more of his sun kissed skin appeared with each opening. Her lips found the taste of his skin was intoxicating as she kissed his newly exposed chest after dismissing him of his shirt.

He pulled her close to him allowing her to feel the effect she was having by kissing his torso. He wanted to scream for her to stop or he wouldn't be able to last. Instead he placed his hand on the back of her neck and plundered her mouth with his. His hands ran along her back grazing her bottom just before they found her zipper and began to slide it down. He ran his fingers over her skin feeling the goosebumps that he was causing in her.

The gown fell to the floor leaving her nearly fully exposed to his lustful gaze. She should have been embarrassed standing in only her black lace panties only she wasn't. She felt sexy and bold and brave in front of him. His gaze made her feel more beautiful than she had ever felt before. In that moment she was his and only his. No one had been before him and she knew in that moment no one would be after him.

She loosened his belt sliding it from the loops dropping it to the floor. Not wanting to waste any more time she flipped open his dress pants taking the zipper and his pants from him. She moved to him again pressing her lips to his for a slow deep kiss. She knew that if this was her only night with him than she was going to make it last as long as she could.

He lifted her placing her in his arms carrying her to his room to lay her down with him on his bed. He watched as her eyes grew darker the more turned on she became. He wouldn't allow her to close her eyes. He held the contact as he took his two index fingers and slipped the panties gently down her legs opening her completely to him. Her faith and trust in him was almost more than he could bear.

Taking the final barrier from him she set the pace of their lovemaking. They touched, kissed, explored, and learned about the other in ways that only lovers could. Neither was rushed or hurried. They both wanted to know the other and when the moment came to come together that too wasn't rushed.

Afterward they laid in each other arms still touching and caressing. He felt safe in her arms a feeling he hadn't felt in a very long time. This woman that amazed him daily with her strength, intelligence, and bravery; this woman he knew was the woman that would end him for all others. This woman that he never wanted to fall in love with was the only woman that he knew that would allow him to find his way to her and her world where she would be waiting for him with open arms.

She felt his arms around her as she snuggled closer. Love wasn't easy for him. He needed his time to process his feelings and she would give him all the time he needed. She wasn't going anywhere and he knew that this was just a new chapter for them. They both were ready for this even though neither was ready to say the words. The words at some point will be said and will be important. For now, for her, lying in his arms listening to his heartbeat as they drifted to sleep was the sweetest words she had ever heard.
