Chapter Forty Six
Eddie woke first the next morning and looked over at Jamie, still sleeping peacefully. Eddie could feel in her bones that this was something special, a proposal was coming sometime on this trip and other things too. Eddie began to rub her cheek up and down, listening to the steady beat of Jamie's heart.
Jamie felt Eddie's soft skin rubbing against the abrasive hairs on his chest. As many times and Jamie and Eddie held each other at night, it always made him feel so content. There was a difference between being happy and being content…happiness was a fleeting feeling of elation, but contentment…that had a sense of permanence.
Jamie dropped a kiss on Eddie's each, "Good morning, my love," he whispered as he stretched. "How did you sleep?"
"Well, always do when I'm next to you," Eddie replied lifting and bit to meet his eyes. "What is on the docket for today, Mr. Reagan?"
"Uh, today we are in the main park, they have some street reenactment and we can heck out some of the shops," Jamie replied. "I think first thing we should do though is get you a hat, it's going to be really hot. We can keep the hat damp and keep you cool."
Eddie nodded, "Okay, we better get a move on them, we'll be busy all day."
"We need to get you showered first, or would you prefer a warm bath, work the kinks out of those muscles?"
Eddie thought a minute, "I think I'd like a bath but only if you are in there with me…"
Jamie smiled, "Let me get it started and I'll come back for you."
Jamie turned on the jets and started to run the water. He returned to the bed and picked Eddie up in his arms kissing her deeply. "Your tub awaits…"
Jamie carried Eddie into the bathroom and gently placed Eddie in the water, keeping her back straight with the gentle pressure of his hands until he could climb in behind her. Eddie could tell by the way Jamie was moving he was not just touching her for function, he was deriving pleasure out of running the soapy lavender scented cloth of her breast, up and down her legs, and finally between them.
"You feel so good," Jamie sighed. "Your skin and your hair…. I want this trip to be something special, our first trip together, moving on from stress and divorce. Your new found confidence in yourself, we have so much to celebrate."
"I want it to be special too. Jamie will you do something if I asked you?" Eddie bit her lip, she needed this, there was no reason to hold back…if he rejected her now after so much time and so much preparation…this was the perfect place.
"You know I'd do anything you asked, baby," Jamie replied keeping his tone soft but serious.
"Will you make love with me?" Eddie was glad she couldn't see his face as she braced herself for his answer. "I know you probably can't…"
Jamie sighed and turned her face to look at him, "I want to make love with you. I want it so badly it hurts inside, and I can't think of another time or place more perfect."
Eddie's face lip up and she let out a breath, "Really?"
"Really," Jamie said firmly. "Hold your core a minute, let me get up…"
Jamie slid on a pair of pajama pants to eliminate too much friction for Eddie early on, then bent down and scooped Eddie into his arms. Jamie kissed Eddie long and hard before beginning a slow walk to the bed to finally consummate their love.
Jamie gently laid Eddie down on the bed, the laid down and pulled Eddie to his side, the gently over him leaning up to kiss her again, reveling in the taste of everything Eddie. Eddie leaned into Jamie's kiss opening her mouth a bit. She breathed into his mouth, giving him her life, her love directly into his body. Jamie shuttered at the touch, until now he hadn't realized how starved he was for Eddie's attention and affection. Eddie broke the kiss and moved her mouth to Jamie's cheek. Eddie kissed there then moved up to Jamie's eyelids, placing one kiss on each one. "I love you," Eddie said with her body and her words.
Jamie wrapped his arms around Eddie, gently rubbing across her back as he pulled her nearer. He leaned down and placed a kiss on the spot where her shoulder met her neck, one of the places where Eddie was able to experience full erotic sensation. Eddie gasped and if it was possible, Jamie felt her relaxing in his arms.
Eddie kissed the tip of Jamie's nose, sighing as he giggled. There was not much Eddie could do for Jamie in his position, but those little touches were what drove him. Jamie gently rolled Eddie onto her back and found her mouth with his own, engaging her in a sweet, tender kiss. Eddie shifted under his weight, not from sensation but practice. Jamie stilled to be sure that she was indeed as ready for this as all of their exercises and discussions had determined she was. The only expression on Eddie's face was a bright smile.
They kissed again, this time for a couple of minutes before Jamie pushed himself up off of Eddie again and slipped his hand between their still damp bodies. Jamie massaged Eddie's abdomen softly. Eddie moaned under that gentle touch. As Jamie moved his hand higher along her rib cage he froze.
"What?" Eddie sighed, crying out of fear he was about to stop them in their tracks. Again…
"Just thinking about how long we have waited to do this," Jamie answered. "I don't want to go too fast; I want to remember every second with you."
"Touch me..." she told him. "Touch my breasts. Touch...touch me, Jamie. Touch me."
"As you wish, my love," he whispered, resuming his actions on her stomach moving higher up and finding her breasts. "They feel so soft, so sweet…I'm running my fingers gently back and forth…" Jamie leaned down and took one of Eddie's nipples into his mouth, tongue flicking over the small point. Eddie always liked her breasts touched, she shut here eyes and let her mind take her to that place, imagining and remembering a the same time. .
"I think that's the most wonderful feeling," Eddie gasped feeling 100% connected even though she could not feel any of Jamie's work. Jamie brushed Eddie's hair away from her forehead and leaned in to drop a feather-light kiss there. Jamie kissed her left collarbone three times, and then worked his way down the front of her neck. "Are you sure?" Jamie whispered. He wanted to make love to her more than anything he could think of at that moment, but if she had any doubts, he didn't want to force her.
"I'm sure," she replied. "I…We've waited so long…" Eddie took a deep breath. "I need you so much, Jamie.
Eddie craned her neck upward and kissed him soundly as Jamie described his hands sliding down to her breasts again, his voice low and husky. He placed both hands upon her breasts once again, caressing them gently.
Eddie moaned softly. Clumsily, Eddie took one hand and slipped it down his back and around until she could touch him and feel his excitement pulsing against her wrist. That slight throb excited Eddie more than she could have imagined possible. With Jamie's help, Eddie placed her hand underneath his waist band and gently she rubbed him, arousing him; she wanted this for him as much as for herself.
Jamie drew in a deep breath at the feel of her hands on his body. "That's nice," he whispered, leaning down to kiss the valley in between her breasts.
"So's that," she gasped out. "I only have one complaint."
"Oh, do tell me what it is," he said in his deepest voice. "So I can make it right."
"There are still barriers between us," Eddie said with a half a smile that left little room for interpretation.
"Allow me a moment," he said, his smile mirroring hers as he slid off the bed and quickly rid himself of his pajama pants and his boxers. "Better, my love?" he whispered into her ear as he rejoined her on the bed.
"Thank you," she gasped out. "I don't know how much I can..."
"Shh...shh," he sad as he ran his fingers over her stomach, gently feeling her rib cage. "Try to relax; I'll take care of you."
"I know you will," Eddie replied. "Make love to me," she whispered. "Please."
"I could never say 'no' to such a beautiful request," Jamie said, again wrapping his arms around Eddie's body and melding his mouth to hers. The kiss began gentle, grew deeper and more intense as the seconds drew on, then returned to slow and sweet as he pulled back. "I love you so much," he said as he stared into her eyes.
"I love you too," Eddie replied as she shifted beneath him again. "So very much."
Jamie slid his body down a little bit and began working on her breasts with his mouth, protecting her posture as was second nature.
"Jamie," Eddie gasped as he slowly tortured her with smell, taste, and voice. "Jamie..."
"Hmm?" he asked as he continued his ministrations.
"I...can't..."she gasped as his tongue flicked at her nipples.
"In due time, baby," he said, pausing from his work on her breasts to look up and into her eyes. "They say the best things in this world are worth waiting for. I'll get there; don't you worry."
Eddie nodded. This was slow torture, painfully so...but she loved him and she wanted him to show her he loved her too.
As Jamie continued to kiss Eddie's navel, he slowly slipped one finger inside her body, moving it as gently as possible. Jamie continued to speak, describing his touches in a soft, almost non-existent voice.
"Nice," Eddie gasped as she saw Jamie slowly pulling back to position her legs. With each thigh support, Jamie offered a smile before closing the gap again. Eddie know in her body and her mind what was coming, the ultimate connection.
Jamie so slowly that speed was almost painful. He inched his way inside, giving Eddie's muscles time to adjust to his length and his width. Finally, Jamie completed the joining of their bodies, whispering in Eddie's ear, "You feel so good…so warm…"
Eddie sighed, shutting her eyes, surprised yet pleased to see the flashing of light she associated with blissful sex. Jamie sighed, "You're there, Angel. You are there and so am I…"
When all was said and done, Jamie pulled Eddie closer than he remembered doing in the past. "Are you okay?" he asked softly as she nuzzled him with her cheek.
"I'm more than that, I'm perfect.."
