Em goes to Dave.

One Hello

Dave froze for a moment as Em lowered her lips to his and kissed him. He had been prepared for everything but Em slipping off her robe and standing before him in her glorious nakedness. He had wanted to ask her what was going on, but she had stopped him with a kiss.

He wanted to move back or pull away, but as her tongue traced the seam of his lips and she wrapped her arms around him, he felt himself give in. Moaning low, he put an arm around Em's slim hips and pulled her closer.

Hands caressing as their tongues mated in a wild dance, neither could get enough of what the other was offering. It was almost too good to be real.

Coming up for air, Dave broke away. "Em…do you know what you're doing?" he panted.

"I want to make love to you," she replied. Her fingers deftly worked the buttons on Dave's pajama jacket.

Dave's hands halted her progress. "Tes… Em…you've been injured. You should be resting."

"I know what I'm doing."

"I don't want to take advantage of you in your…condition," he protested, though his body was coming to life. How many nights over the past four years had he lain awake imagining her taking control and loving him again? How many dreams had he had of her making love to him, only to wake up to an empty bed?

"That's why I came to you." She worked the last button and slipped the jacket off. "I saw my life flash before my eyes, and if I'm going to die, I want one more night with you." She pushed him back on to the bed.

"You hate me," he reminded her.

"I don't hate you," she corrected and stopped removing his pajama bottoms. "Not anymore."

"Em," he sighed. It wasn't that he was afraid to go down this road, it was what could be waiting for him when he got there.

Em straddled his waist and leaned down. "Dave, tell me to stop and I will. But I want you." Her eyes looked deep into his. There was something there, but he couldn't figure out what. And God help him, he wanted her. He needed her!

"You said that we needed to hold on to this second chance we've been given," she reminded him.

Dave shook his head. There was nothing he could say to counter her actions. She was in control. And he wouldn't have it any other way.

Cupping his face in her hands, Em kissed him as though her life depended on it. And maybe it did. She had seen what her life had been like without him - his doing, of course! - but she had also seen what life would be like if she passed up the second chance she had been given.

Seductively, her breasts brushed against Dave's chest. The electrical current she caused, made him moan from need. His hands itched to move upward, but he held them down. He wanted to touch her, but he didn't dare. He didn't have that right.

Sensing his hesitancy, Em took one of Dave's hands and cupped her breast with it. "Go ahead," she whispered. "Touch me."

Dave didn't need any further prompting. His hand kneaded Em's full breast while his thumb stroked her nipple. Bending his head down, he took the taut peak in his mouth and suckled. His body hardened with each soft moan Em emitted. Encouraged, he lavished attention on the twin globe until Em had to break away. Quickly, she pulled off Dave's pajama bottoms.

Lying naked in the moonlight, Dave had never felt more exposed, but the look in Em's eyes indicated that he had nothing to fear. And as her hand wrapped around him, Dave only had a moment to think before she ducked her head and began to love him.

Then all thoughts went out of his head. For four years he had relived the last time Em had made love to him. He had replayed it and dreamt about it until he thought he was going insane. But even his memory had nothing on the reality of what she was doing to him. Involuntarily, he thrust his hips upward and groaned aloud as she took him deeper into the warm recess of her mouth.

Em concentrated on loving Dave, even though he was wrapping his hands in her hair and tried to indicate that he wanted more. Moving upward, she trailed kisses across his stomach, along his chest, to the pulsating indentation at the base of his throat.

"Em," Dave sighed her name like a prayer.

Pulling back, she looked into his eyes that were misted over with desire. Her body went from hot to being an inferno. It nearly overwhelmed her that after everything, he could still look at her with want. She had wanted to believe that he had changed, but it was only after he had gone out of his way to help her when she was injured, did she believe.

"Do you want me to stop?" she asked.

Dave shook his head. "Never."

Kissing him deep, she moved her hips and made herself one with him. Gasping, she took a moment to adjust to his size. Then she slowly undulated her hips to try and make him crazy. And if the way he was stroking her and calling her name was any indication, she was making him mad.

Dave felt his world be pulled out from under him as Em encased him in her hot, wet heat. The air was sucked from his lungs as the moment dawned on him that he was one with the woman of his heart. Finally.

Setting the rhythm, Em forced Dave to keep pace with her as she tried to push them both over the edge. Heavy panting of breathless endearments filled the air as the couple took pleasure from each other and tried to make the moment last. But that feeling of completion was taking hold of Em.

Grinding her hips, she took Dave deep. That was enough to make him take control. Thrusting deep, he reset the pace and dared her to keep up. Bracing her palms on his chest, Em threw her head back as her orgasm threatened to take over.

Dave felt her velvet walls grip him and that made him increase his tempo. Thrusting in and out, he took pleasure hearing her cries of pleasure. But he wanted more. He wanted to hear her say his name as he took her to that place. Grasping her hips, he settled her firmly on him as he took over.

Em could barely catch her breath as Dave's thrusts pushed her closer to the edge of no return, and thinking wasn't even possible. Her body tensed and released as the orgasm built. She could hold out, she knew she could…until Dave touched her. That was all it took.

"Dave!" she cried and collapsed on his chest.

As Em's body shook from the powerful completion, he only had a moment to relish in victory as her body grabbed his and held on. One more thrust, then he wrapped his arms around her and joined her.
