AN- I can't believe I dragged this out and still have more to come.


Pride was fast asleep when he woke to a hand slowly making its way down his chest and into the waistband of his boxers. His brain was only half awake but as the hand in his boxers came in contact with his groin it seemed other parts of him were very much awake. He couldn't help groaning as Brody long slender fingers wrapped around him and started to work her magic. He went from semi-erect and half asleep to fully erect and awake in a matter of seconds. He didn't move just yet as he was enjoying the sensations her fingers and hands were causing in his nether region. It wasn't till he felt her grip him a little harder he moved and turned on his side as he rolled her onto the couch beside him. She still kept a hold of him, but her grip loosened as he brought his head level with hers and kissed her lips before working along her jaw and down to her neck. Due to the fact she had his hoodie on, he was restricted to the places he could kiss. He needed this top off and he needed more room.

"Stand up, we need more room and this needs to come off." Tugging at the hoodie.

Brody stood up and pulled the hoodie up over her head revealing the black panties she had put on earlier. Pride looked around the room and saw the white fluffy rug that was behind the couch. Moving around he grabbed it and pulled it over in front of the fire. When Brody saw what he was doing she got the pillows from the couch and picked the duvet up. Once the rug was laid out on the floor Brody dropped the pillows at one end and the duvet down beside the rug. As she was arranging the pillows, Pride stoked the fire and added more wood to build it back up. When he was happy it was alight again he turned around and let out an appreciative groan at the sight on the rug.

Brody had laid down with an arm under her head for support and had brought her outside leg up so it was bent at the knee. He had to pinch himself to make sure it was real and he wasn't dreaming. He was sure he had actually died and this was just an illusion because the sight before him was fitting of an angel. He just looked at the woman lay out in front of him and all he could do was smile. He edged nearer to her on all fours and stopped just short of touching her. He needed to commit this sight to memory, it was something he would never forget as she looked so beautiful.

Starting on her face he could see the way the flames from the fire flickered and played in her deep chocolate brown eyes. It was an amazing sight to see and it showed just how dark her eyes actually were. Looking down at her body he could see her creamy white skin glow a cross between yellow, orange and red as the reflection of the flames from the fire danced across it. Her breasts seemed magnified, somehow, by the flames as the dark coloured areolae seemed darker than they actually were and somehow larger. Her whole body was illuminated by the fire behind him along with the fire that was growing in his groin. Edging forwards he went into a kneeling position using one hand to support him as he went to kiss her and use his other hand to massage her breasts. He felt her hand come to the back of his head as the other made its way into the front of his boxer shorts. He couldn't help it as he thrust forward into her hand as she wrapped her fingers around him.

He continued to massage her breasts as he kissed her face and then her neck before moving his mouth to her breasts. He gave each one the same treatment as he licked, sucked and bit down gently on each nipple causing a low moan of pleasure to escape from Brody's mouth. When he let go of her breasts he kept kissing her as he made his way down her stomach and stopped on her pubic bone. She still had her hand in his boxers and was working him at a slow and steady pace but if he continued on his current path he would need to remove her hand. Looking up he saw her eyes were closed so he took that a sign she was more than happy for him to keep doing what he was doing.

Placing his lips back on her pubic bone he kissed his way down through the thin black coarse hair covering her groin as his tongue darted out when he found the crown jewel hiding there causing her to buck against his mouth and moan his name. Letting his tongue flick over her most sensitive parts he worked his way up and down and even sucked on the most sensitive nub which earned him a growl and a sharp intake of breath as her hand came out his shorts and worked into his hair. He wasn't sure how much longer he could go as he really needed to hold her and feel himself deep within her.

He ran his tongue up and down a few more times making sure he dipped the tip just inside her as he felt her muscles react to the contact. He circled her nub once more and sucked on it before lifting up and looking down at her. She opened her eyes at the lack of contact and smiled as she saw him move to cover her body with his. She let her leg drop to the floor as Pride hovered above her before kissing her and lowering himself down till the tip of his erection was sat at her entrance. He didn't move until he felt her legs come up and wrap around his ass causing him to slide into her. Once he felt himself enter her he moved as he pushed forward making sure she got all of him in one sharp thrust. They both groaned as he stopped when he was fully inside her.

He held still as he stopped kissing her and supported himself up on his arms. He waited till she opened her eyes before he started to move within her. He wanted to watch as he brought her up to her peak and he wanted to see as she crashed over the edge. He started slowly feeling her meeting his thrust so he quickened the pace. He felt not only her build but himself as well. He wasn't a one for talking during sex but now was an occasion when he felt the need to.

"Merri let go, show me the way to heaven." As he thrust twice more and felt her explode around him as she screamed his name and groaned at the same time.

He watched her as she reached her peak and it was the sexiest thing he had seen in his life causing him to thrust and follow her over. He growled as his balls tightened and he emptied himself deep inside her. It was a feeling he would never ever want to give up. The bond that sex created was lasting, as his first marriage had proved. Now he got to share that same bond with the woman lay under him now. As his arms gave out he dropped to her side and pulled her to him. He felt her curl up against him and tangle their legs together.

As he lay on the rug holding her he watched the fire dance and flicker over her shoulder. His words during sex were very close to the truth. She had shown him heaven and he now held it in his arms. She was his heaven, his sanctuary from the world. When they were like this nothing else mattered. He didn't have to worry or care about anything else other than her. He couldn't ask for more than that. He felt her move and turn into his arms spooning him. He felt her getting restless and lifted up on his elbow so he could look down and see her full face.

"How come it's 02:00 and I am hungry. What did we have for dinner if we had any at all?" Turning her head so she could look up at him.

She watched as he thought about what she had said and then sat up pulling the duvet over her as he stood up and put his boxers shorts right before heading to the kitchen. She lay watching the fire burn and even sat up at one point to add another log to make sure it didn't go out. She had just laid back down when she heard movement and looked up see Pride standing with a tray in his hand. Sitting up she grabbed the pillows and quilt and moved them up against the couch. Settling back she watched as Pride placed the tray on the floor and sat down next to her.

"Hot Chocolate and cookies. Now, this really is spoiling me." Picking up a cup from the tray and licking off some of the cream from the top.

Putting the cup on the floor she passed Pride his cup and took the bag of cookies off the tray. Opening the bag, she pulled one out and offered it to Pride. She was surprised when he took one as he wasn't really a junk food eater. He saw the way she looked at him when he took one out and put the bag back on her knee.

"I have to keep my energy up somehow." Biting into the cookie as she laughed at his response to her funny look.

They sat close together as they ate the cookies even though Pride only had one. He knew she would eat them and he only wanted one as the chocolate in the drink was even more sugar on top. When they finished their drinks Pride gathered everything up and took it all back in the kitchen. When he came back in he found that the pillows had been moved back to the rug along with the duvet. Looking around for Brody he finally found her as he caught sight of the top of her head and her tousled hair. Coming up behind her he lay down and felt her move back into his arms. He placed a few kisses to her neck as he felt her yawn and grow heavy in his arms.

"Let's go to bed." As he stood up and looked down at a half-asleep Brody.

Tucking the duvet around her he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom, using his foot to open the door. Gently placing her on the bed he went back and got the pillows before adding more wood to the fire. Coming back to the bedroom he saw Brody hadn't moved from the cocoon of the duvet. Putting the pillows down he moved her enough to untuck the duvet and cover her up again. The moon shone through the window and onto the sleeping form of what he hoped he could now call his girlfriend. Smiling he climbed on the bed and tucked himself under the duvet making sure he didn't disturb the sleeping figure beside him. When they woke they had to pack up and head home. For once in his life, it wasn't something he was looking forward to. He knew it had to be done, but he also knew that he would make sure he never put the job before the woman he loved. He had made that mistake once before, but it had lead to what he had now.

Turning to face Brody he felt her move up to him and cuddle into his chest. Kissing her head he closed his eyes and again said the words he was now finding easier to say the more he said them.

"Good night my queen, I love you."
