When JR woke up that morning, he wasn't sure where he was for minute. It wasn't until he saw Katherine asleep next to him that he recalled the events from yesterday and last night. JR couldn't help smiling to himself. It had finally happened after all this time. Well, three months since they had started dating, to be exact. But those three months as well as most of the time before it since he had started developing feelings for her had felt like an eternity to him. But it had most definitely been worth the wait. Thinking back on the last time he had first slept with someone he had actually been in love with, JR could see just how radical the difference was compared to this time. On his wedding night with Sue Ellen, of course it had been her first time since she was a virgin then and JR had not only been expected to marry someone with no prior sexual experience, but had also agreed with (and found it attractive in a woman) that sentiment itself. It had been wonderful at the time when their physical relationship was still new. But after a while, JR's rigid beliefs about what was and wasn't considered "proper" for a married woman to do in the bedroom started to put a strain on his sex life with Sue Ellen. She had tried to introduce ways for them to be more inventive in the bedroom, but it had all been for nothing. JR had been disgusted (and maybe even terrified) with the idea of violating his father's carefully indoctrinated norms in any way. By the time he did start to become more open to new ideas, their marriage was already suffering enough in other ways. Sex had basically become a marking point for whenever their marriage was in a seemingly normal state in between all of their arguments and angry, forced abstinence from Sue Ellen. Basically, their marriage had become an extreme rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, with both of them waiting for the high of each new make-up period, without even realizing it. Even though sex itself had certainly not been the only problem that had led them to a divorce, the issue had persisted long enough so that it had certainly contributed to it.
But things were different with Katherine. Now that he had moved on from his past beliefs and preferences when it came to a woman he was serious about, JR was free to appreciate and enjoy a lot more things in bed than he would have before. Katherine had not been averse to doing all kinds of things when it came to sex and it was wonderful. She was sexy and daring, yet at the same time, still loved to let him take control more often than not. She had loved everything he did last night and didn't mind stroking his ego when it came to letting him know what a great lover he was. The whole experience was both exhilarating and liberating, almost as if he was experiencing everything about being with a woman for the very first time again.
While he was still going over his thoughts, JR noticed that Katherine was finally starting to wake up. Once she saw JR, she smiled and leaned over to kiss him gently.
"Hi." Katherine said simply with an amused smile playing on her lips.
"Good morning, darlin'. Although you look like you could sleep more." JR said with a light chuckle.
"Hmm… Well, let's just say that I'm not used to having it this good. Actually, it never was good until you, JR." Katherine admitted slyly.
"Well, you won't have to worry about any disappointment from now on. I can promise you that. And neither will I. You are absolutely perfect, sweetheart." JR said softly, running his hand gently through Katherine's hair.
JR pulled Katherine closer to him and kissed her deeply. As his hands started to wander down the curves of her body, heading further down south, Katherine groaned slightly and pulled out of his grasp.
"As much as I'd love for this to continue, I really do need a little more time before I'm ready for what we know you can do for me, JR. I don't want to end up passing out while you're only half done with me." Katherine said with an apologetic smile.
"Fair enough. How about we do this then? I'll run out and get us some breakfast. That way, I can also stop at Southfork for a minute to grab a few things so that I can stay here for the weekend. It's not John Ross' weekend to visit, so you'll have me the whole time." JR suggested.
"Sounds perfect to me." Katherine said.
"Great! I'll head out now, then." JR said as he started to climb out of bed.
As Katherine watched JR, she noticed the mess of blankets laying on the floor, as well as the fact that the bottom sheet of the bed had been pulled off from some of the corners.
"Did we do that?" Katherine asked in surprise.
"We did a lot of things last night, darlin'. And we got the whole weekend to do them again. So, you can rest for a little bit while I'm gone to get ready for that. I'll be back soon." JR said. He knelt down and kissed Katherine softly on the lips.
"Oh, believe me. I'll be more than ready by then, JR. So, don't take too long…" Katherine trailed off suggestively.
"Don't worry, I won't." JR reassured Katherine.
"Okay, I'll see you later then, JR. I love you." Katherine said softly.
"I love you too, Katherine." JR said.
Xxx
Over at Southfork, JR had just finished packing a few things and was heading down the hallway from his bedroom back to the stairs. As much as he loved his home, JR was still very glad that he and Katherine would have the privacy of being alone in her massive mansion to enjoy themselves. Sex at Southfork was quite restricting (and somewhat awkward sometimes) since you were basically confined to your bedroom to avoid the other residents of the house. But he and Katherine could do whatever they wanted wherever they wanted since they would be the only ones living there. It brought a new dimension to his sex life that he had not really experienced before with Sue Ellen, especially since JR had barely even bothered to take his ex-wife on any kind of vacation outside of their honeymoon. But this time would be different this time. JR had learned from his mistakes and would make sure that he never did anything to make things boring for him and Katherine.
"JR! Where were you? You missed breakfast this morning." Bobby stopped to greet JR once he saw him in the hallway.
JR couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He had been hoping to not run into anyone while he was here. While he was in no way ashamed of spending the night with Katherine, he always couldn't stop himself from feeling somewhat flustered when it came to discussing too many details about the state of his relationships once they became more serious. It had been the same when he had first married Sue Ellen.
"Oh, I just ended up staying too long at the office last night. So, I guess I was a little too tired for breakfast this morning. You know me!" JR joked somewhat awkwardly.
"Where are you going now?" Bobby asked as he eyed JR's suitcase. He knew his brother too well and knew exactly what it meant whenever he started to act like this.
"Out." JR replied simply, hoping to end the conversation right there.
"Okay, well, have fun then, I guess! I'll see you later, JR!" Bobby said cheerfully. He gave JR a wave goodbye as he headed towards the stairs.
JR breathed a sigh of relief, glad that his brother hadn't asked him anymore questions. But just as he was halfway downstairs, Bobby turned around again.
"Oh, and by the way, tell Katherine that I said hi!" Bobby said with a knowing grin.
Damn it. Why does he have to get smart at times like this!? JR thought to himself embarrassedly.
AN: Man, I am REALLY sorry for the long wait here! Believe me, it was not my intention to leave this story on hiatus for over a year. I was busy with school and other life stuff. And I also started writing a bunch of stories. Since inspiration was higher for some of those, this story ended up suffering for it. Things have calmed down a lot now though, and I have found more of a balance with updating. I have six stories, but one is always updated twice as much as the others, and sadly for you guys, it is not this one. But now that I've gotten things together, it shouldn't take a freaking year to update this next time, and I fully intend to finish this story. Sorry for the short chapter here and that it was kind of boring in terms of story progression. (Eh, at least I got to throw some humor in there with Bobby at the end. XD) The next chapter will kind of be like that, too. I'm basically just in the interval before I write about the Ewing Barbecue (will also contain a flashback of how JR and Katherine first met for this story), so I'm mainly just setting up for it. For any of you who had the patience to stick with this, thank you for reading this!
