"What the hell?" Ricki thought opening her eyes.
It took her a minute to focus, but once she did she slowly turned her head and looked over at Danny's sleeping form. That's when she heard the noise again. Her eyes widened with surprise when she realized what the noise that had woken her up was. Danny was snoring! And not just a little snore! It was a loud, deep snore. They had been together for almost a year, and she had never heard him snore before. Not even when he was exhausted.
She rolled over to face him and gently shook his shoulder.
"Danny" she whispered, "Danny, wake up. You're snoring."
"Hmm" Danny answered and promptly resumed snoring.
Ricki shook him a little harder.
"Danny, come on, wake up" she said louder this time.
"Wha?" Danny said groggily.
"You're snoring…loudly" Ricki told him.
"I don't snore" Danny said defensively.
"You wanna bet?" Ricki giggled seeing the frown and pout on Danny's face.
"It's just because I'm happy" he told her grinning.
"What is that like a cat purring? You snore because you are happy?" Ricki said openly laughing at the man in bed next to her.
"Yep" Danny said pulling Ricki close. "And it's all your fault"
"Oh, whatever" she laughed again.
Danny pulled her into a kiss, and not just any kiss. One that had them both gasping for air by the time they finally pulled away.
"What…was…that for?" Riki said attempting to catch her breath.
"Just…because" Danny answered.
Ricki started to say something but was cut off by the ringing of Danny's phone. He groaned as he reached to answer it.
"Yes, Steven?" he answered sounding annoyed. "Uh huh…yeah…ok…by the way, do you realize what time it is?"
Ricki didn't hear the response, but was pretty sure Steve was telling Danny he had already been up and around for a few hours.
Danny told Steve goodbye, and hung up the phone.
"Work?" Ricki asked.
"No, actually your crazy ass cousin is having a bar-b-que and invited us over."
"Cool" Ricki said excitedly, "I could use some surf time".
Danny rolled his eyes.
"And yes, you will be getting in the water" Ricki told him poking him in the ribs.
This action earned her a squirm, and a growl. Danny reached out and began to tickle Ricki's sides. She laughed and giggled, and begged him to stop. She finally got him to stop by hitting him with a pillow.
"Oh, so now you want to play dirty?" he teased picking up another pillow.
Ricki jumped up laughing and ran around the bed. Danny was right behind her. She got one good hit off before she felt Danny whack her with his pillow. She ran into the living room and then into the kitchen and tried to get away from him, giggling the whole way. Danny cornered her by the pantry. She dropped her pillow and put her hands up.
"Ok, I give" she giggled.
Danny dropped his pillow too and pressed close to her until her back was completely against the door of the pantry. He put one hand on either side of her head. He wasn't a tall man, but he was still taller than her 5'1' frame. He looked down at the smiling woman he loved so much.
"God, I want you so bad right now" he whispered to her.
Ricki smiled up at him.
"You'll have to catch me first" she said ducking under his arm, and running for the bedroom.
Danny growled and took off after her. Ricki jumped on the bed. Danny stopped at the foot of the bed and looked at her giggling like a school girl.
He slowly crawled up the bed to where Ricki was sitting. Ricki bit her bottom lip and watched as he slowly traced a finger down her arm. She shivered, but not from cold, from desire. She put her hands on Danny's face and pulled him into a kiss.
Danny pulled away and looked at her with eyes full of lust. His eyes roamed over her body scantly clad in a lacy tank and a pair of panties. He took in the fullness of her breasts and how they rose slightly with every breath she took. He noticed that her nipples were perking up at just a touch to her arm. He leaned forward and gently caught her bottom lip with his teeth and sucked ever so lightly.
Ricki's breath seemed to leave her when he did that.
Then she did something that totally surprised him. She took her tank and panties off and flung them on the floor. Normally she would let Danny take her clothes off, she wasn't really one to do it in front of him in full daylight. Danny had told her numerous times how beautiful her body was, but she still didn't feel completely comfortable with it. She doubted she ever would. But something in her made her do this for him this morning.
There she sat in all her nakedness for Danny to see, and enjoy.
Danny pulled his boxers off and revealed his hard cock. Ricki eyed his member with desire. But Danny had other plans.
He gently pulled her down to where she was laying beside him.
He ran his fingertips softly along her thigh. He then ran a hand up to her cup her breast. He leaned down and took her nipple into his mouth. He licked and sucked just enough to make Ricki squirm under his touch. With his mouth occupied with her breasts, his hand wandered down her stomach and then to her hip. He continued to swirl his tongue across her nipples making them perk up. Ricki whined slightly when his mouth left her breasts and kissed wet, hot, open mouth kisses down her stomach and onto the inner side of her thigh.
"Danny" she whispered, "God, Danny"
Danny slid his body down and settled in between her legs. He kissed the inside of each of her thighs.
She gasped at the first touch of his tongue to her womanhood. He swirled his tongue along her clit. Ricki gently grabbed two handfuls of Danny's blond hair. Danny darted his tongue in and out.
Ricki gasped again. She knew he could do amazing things with his tongue, but this was new. They had never done this before.
Ricki slightly lifted her hips wanting Danny's tongue deeper inside her. She couldn't believe how good this felt.
"Feels…good" she breathed.
Danny continued to swirl his tongue around. Then he sucked gently on her clit. That sent her over the edge.
"Danny, o god, Danny" she gasped pulling on his hair and lifting her hips.
Danny greedily sucked and licked through her orgasm.
Her body was breathless and limp. She was running her hands through his hair. Danny reluctantly left her womanhood and slid up to look into her eyes. Ricki smiled up at him, her eyes a little glassy.
"Wow" was all she could say.
"I thought you might like that" he whispered sexily.
"Danny, I…"
"Sshh" he told her.
He leaned down and kissed her soundly. She could taste herself on his lips. She felt his hands roaming over her body. She felt like she was on fire.
When Danny entered her, her breath left her all at once. It didn't matter that they had made love the night before, it was like the first time all over again. She lifted her hips and met him thrust for thrust. It didn't take long for both of them to reach the edge. Danny exploded into her with a sound that was almost animalistic. She called out his name as she reached that peak once again.
As they lay catching their breath, Ricki lazily ran her hands through Danny's hair again. Danny was trying to regain some sort of control of his breathing.
"God, Ricki, the things you do to me" he told her.
"Right back at 'cha babe" she smiled.
A few hours later they arrived at Steve's with beer, soda's, cole slaw, and Grace in tow. Ricki and Grace immediately changed into their swimsuits and headed to the beach. Danny and Steve followed at a leisurely pace. Danny had changed into a blue pair of board shorts that Ricki had bought him, and Steve was in a pair of black and yellow ones. Danny had actually taken his shirt off and seemed to be enjoying himself.
"Come on Daddy" Grace called to him.
"In a little bit" he told her.
Steve came out in the water to play with Grace, so Ricki went to sit on the beach with Danny. He watched her come up out of the water in her turquoise and black bikini.
"Lord, she's gorgeous" he thought to himself.
She took the towel he was holding out for her and dried off. Then she sat down on the blanket Danny was on and leaned over and kissed him.
"Hey sexy" she said.
"Hey yourself" he smiled at her.
She leaned against his chest and looked out at Steve and Grace playing in the shallow water. Steve was attempting to teach Grace how to use a boogie board, but wasn't having much success. They were mostly just splashing around and laughing.
Ricki noticed Danny was quiet.
"Hey, Jersey Boy, what are you thinking about?" she asked.
Danny thought for just minute before he spoke.
"What are we waiting for Ricki?" he asked.
"What are you talking about?" she asked turning to look him in the face.
"Why are we waiting to get married? Why don't we just do it? I want you as my wife, not just my fiancé. I want to marry you now. I want to start our life together, start our family" he told her hoping she wasn't going to laugh in his face.
Ricki's eyes grew wide. What were they waiting for? She didn't want a big wedding, and neither did he. They wanted just something simple, with their close friends and family. She took Danny's hand.
"I don't want to wait any longer. There is no reason to wait. I want to start our life together and our family too. I want to you to be my husband, and I want to be your wife" she said sincerely.
"Why don't we plan for next Saturday? I am pretty sure my parents can get here by then. So what do you say?"
"Yes…I say yes. I will talk to Kono when she gets here and we will get everything planned" Ricki said excitedly.
Danny grinned and pulled her close for a kiss.
They heard giggles, and a clearing of a throat in front of them. They broke the kiss reluctantly and looked at the two dripping people in front of them.
Grace was grinning from ear to ear and Steve was attempting a frown, but wasn't very convincing at it.
Danny and Ricki told them of their plans, and they were both thrilled.
"Do I get to come?" Grace asked.
"Of course" Ricki assured the little girl, "you have to be there so you can be the flower girl".
Grace giggled and hugged both Ricki and her father at the same time.
Danny cleared his throat and looked at Steve.
"Will you be my best man? You're my partner, and friend, and I would really like for you to stand up with me" he told Steve hopefully.
Steve's eyes misted just a little.
"I would be honored to be your best man, on one condition" Steve told him.
"What?"
"I get to walk Ricki down the aisle first" he told him.
Tears gathered in Ricki's eyes as she looked at her cousin.
"I wouldn't have it any other way" Danny told him.
Ricki looked up at Steve.
"Steve, can we have it here? It would just be a small thing, nothing fancy, or big, just a few friends and some family." Ricki pleaded with her cousin.
Steve looked at the pleading look on Ricki's face. He could never deny her anything she wanted, her or Mary. He had never been able to.
"I think that would be ok" he told her belying his true feelings.
Ricki threw her arms around him and hugged him tight.
"Thanks cuz" she said choking back tears.
"You're welcome" he said hugging her back.
When Chin and Kono got to the house, Grace was bursting at the seams to tell someone the good news. The three adults let her tell Chin and Kono about the wedding plans. Kono squealed and hugged both Danny and Ricki, and Chin gave Danny a "bro hug" and then hugged Ricki and kissed her cheek.
The men then went to start the grill and get the food started. Kono, Ricki and Grace all went into the kitchen and started writing down plans.
Danny slipped away for a few minutes and called his parents. His mom was ecstatic and his dad just said "about time, son". They told him they would book their flights and be there as soon as they could.
Danny went back and found Ricki walking alone on the beach. He caught up to her and put an arm around her slim waist.
She turned into his chest and just let him hold her. She was so excited to finally get to marry the man she loved. She also knew this next week was going to be busy, and she wanted to cherish this small moment with just her and Danny. She looked up at him and smiled.
"I love you Jersey Boy."
"I love you, too, baby."
They stood taking in the beautiful surroundings, just happy to be near the person they loved more than anything.
