Chapter 26 – Rediscover

It had been a few days now that Emily and Doc had been together out at their home without any interruptions. They easily slipped into a simple morning routine. Doc was always up first and went downstairs to put on coffee. She learned quickly that Emily liked to have a few extra minutes of sleep. The past couple of mornings Emily would come down the stairs about 10-15 minutes after Doc, still sleepy, but absolutely adorable. Doc couldn't help but add this time of day to the list of best moments of the day. Really any moment with Emily made the list, but she couldn't help but close her eyes later on during the day and remember back to those exact moments of seeing her come down the stairs, her astounding red hair a bit messy from the nights sleep, her eyelids still a bit droopy, and the most endearing little smile upon her lips. After the first night, Emily decided she didn't want to wear her night gown anymore, but rather one of Doc's shirts, so another added bonus to the morning was seeing her lady walk around in nothing but one of her shirts on.

This morning was no different than the last couple of them. Doc stood with her back leaning up against the kitchen counter. She had her hot cup in hand pulled up to her lips so she could blow on it to cool it down just enough to drink. Right on queue, Emily came waltzing down the steps and entered the kitchen. Doc stood hiding her smile behind her coffee cup, but Emily could see it in her eyes. She stopped just inside the kitchen door.

"And why are you so happy this morning, Miss Campbell?" Emily did her best to keep her own smile in check.

"Oh, no reason. Just had a thought run through my mind," Doc shot back, still with a big smile.

"And what would that be?" Emily crossed her arms across her chest, but allowed her smile to break out upon her face.

"Just thinking how I have to be the most luckiest woman in the world!" Doc put her cup down and began her way over to Emily.

"Oh yeah? And how do you figure that?" Emily decided to play a little and took a few steps away in the opposite direction, now heading into the dinning room. Her intentions were clear, she wanted to tease Doc a bit by making her work for her morning kiss.

"If you were standing in front of a mirror right now, trust me, you would be thinking the same thing." Doc caught on to Emily's little game and picked up her step to close the distance before Emily could put the dinning room table between them.

"Oh, I have a good idea of what I look like, but I still beg to differ on you being the luckiest woman. I think you have some competition on that part. I'm pretty sure I get to take that honor." Emily was successful in getting around the table, now smiling so wide just to tease Doc a little more.

"Oh really? And how do you figure that?" Doc placed both hands on the table and leaned over it toward Emily.

"Um, have you seen yourself? Not only are you the most beautiful woman I've ever met, but you're smart, you're funny, you have the utmost compassion for people, and I trust you with my whole heart." Emily blushed a little bit at the last part. She smiled to herself and saw Doc's eyes soften at her admission.

"Yep, you're right. You're the luckiest." Doc smiled wide and saw Emily's eyes widen at how surprised she was by her response. This was exactly what Doc wanted, she didn't hesitate as she moved swiftly around the table and continued to chase after her love.

Emily took a half second with her surprise at Doc's response, but then realized that the chase had begun again. She scurried into the parlor where a good-sized couch was in the middle of the room. Just as she rounded the corner of the couch she felt Doc's arm wrapped around her and her body lean against hers, toppling them both over onto it.

Doc winced, but only because of the expectation of it going to hurt. When she realized that there was no pain, she opened her eyes and smiled at Emily.

"Oh my God. Babe, are you okay? Does it hurt?" Emily saw the wince in Doc's face and knew that it may have been too much exertion on Doc's part. She noticed right after the wince Doc plastered a smile on her face.

"Actually, it didn't hurt. I thought it would, so I braced myself for the pain, but look" Doc moved her arm around a bit to show no pain, "it doesn't hurt at all. I know I still have to be careful to make sure it heals fully, but it seems to be healing up quickly."

Emily grabbed Doc's cheeks with both hands and pressed her lips to Doc's. Doc responded with a moan she couldn't suppress. This of course only spurred Emily on a bit more. Emily readjusted her legs so that she was now straddling Doc's waist above her. She didn't hesitate to pull Doc further onto her body. Doc, of course, did not resist.

Both of the women have been driving themselves crazy with that "no sex" rule that was put into effect to help Doc with a fast recovery. It now appears as though it has paid off. Doc has spent the last few days out on the ranch doing nothing but resting. Of course she had to direct Emily with some of the chores that needed doing, but Emily made sure that the only muscle Doc was using was her mouth by telling her what to do, rather that showing her what to do. Today was the second day in a row that Doc had felt no pain when moving her arm and shoulder. The wound itself was still healing a bit, but it had healed quite nicely so far and Doc had even begun doing a few movement exercises at night to make sure she gets back a full range of motion. With Doc's encouragement, Emily decided it was time for both of them to be rewarded.

Emily wrapped her hands around the back of Doc's neck and pulled her down even harder into the kiss. Doc could feel Emily's body reacting to the kiss and without hesitation she moved her lips down Emily's jaw line and began sucking softly on Emily's pulse point. Emily responded with a loud, uninhibited moan.

"Naomi, I need you. I need you now!" Emily breathed out.

Doc didn't hesitate. First thing's first. The shirt must go. Doc grabbed the bottom of Emily's, or rather her, shirt and yanked it off. Emily was now stark naked on the couch. Doc took a second to gaze at the incredibly breath-taking beauty that now was before her. Sure she had seen her naked before, but each and every time, she couldn't believe that she was hers. She knew she was the luckiest woman in the world.

Emily saw Doc looking down at her. She could see the love pouring out of her eyes. Without a doubt, she was sure that she was the luckiest woman in the world.

Doc leaned down and captured Emily's lips. The kiss was short and rough. Emily leaned her head back as Doc began kissing and licking her way down Emily's body. She stopped to give attention to those "oh so perfect" breasts of Emily's. She knew Emily liked it when she would lick and suck on her nipples. It turned her on even more, and Doc always seemed to know exactly how much attention she needed to give to each one.

"Oh God, don't stop. Don't stop." Emily screamed out.

Doc knew Emily was getting more and more turned on with every lick. She decided it was time to make her move downward. She trailed kisses down Emily's abdomen and kissed the inside of each of her thighs. Emily buried her hands deep into Doc's blonde locks. She couldn't wait any longer. She needed Doc's mouth on her clit. It had been too long since she felt such an exhilarating feeling. With the slightest brush of Doc's lips on her center, she couldn't hold back the shudder that raged throughout her entire body.

Doc took her time as she licked and sucked on Emily's rising hot center. Every now and then she trailed her tongue down through her wet folds just to feel Emily's body hitch with even more excitement.

Emily couldn't hold back the shouts, screams and moans that erupted from deep down inside of her. Doc knew every spot on her body that would make her scream and she wasn't holding back. Just when Emily didn't think she could be any more turned on, Doc slipped two fingers inside her while she continued to let her tongue dance around her clit.

"Take me. Take me now!" Emily's husky voice only drove Doc further to make this moment of release for Emily the best she had ever felt.

Doc moved another finger inside Emily and began thrusting back and forth. Instantly she could feel Emily's walls begin to tighten up around her fingers. She knew she was getting close. As she thrust, she licked and sucked Emily's clit, hearing Emily's breath become shorter and shorter.

In the next moment, as Doc's fingers were crushed by Emily's walls, Emily pulled Doc up into the most intense kiss filled with the most love that she had ever felt. Doc was so turned on herself she didn't even need Emily to touch her. Emily's body began to shudder from the release of her orgasm and Doc's body followed suit. Emily pulled Doc down into her so the both could hold each other through their releases. They stayed holding each other for a while before either one spoke or moved.

It was Emily who let out a deep sigh after a while. Doc lifted her head off Emily's chest to stare into those chocolate brown eyes. Reflecting in those eyes was nothing more than the most admiration for the one she loved. It wasn't a heavy sigh, but rather a sigh of contentment. She was happy. She was home.

Doc and Emily decided to move their love fest up to their room. They spent the rest of the morning rediscovering each other's bodies. Just after lunchtime, both ladies decided to venture downstairs to the kitchen for refueling purposes. Both ladies had thrown on a shirt and some form of trousers and made their way down stairs.

"What the hell are you wearing? And why does Campbell have that ridiculous grin on her face?" It was none other than Katie Fitch.

Review, eh? You know... only if you feel like it! :-)
