Chapter 7
Kate loved the way she felt in Danny's arms. He was so much larger than her small frame, she felt engulfed in his embrace. As if she were slowly melting into him. She could feel the rise and fall of his breath, the steady pounding of his heart against her chest matching her own. With a small whimper, Kate rubbed her tongue softly against his lips, wanting to taste him further. Danny readily complied, the kiss deepening. Lost in the feelings that were thrumming through her body, Kate belatedly realized that Danny's hands were busy pulling her blouse out of her skirt. Grabbing his hands she pulled away from his kiss, chuckling softly.
"I thought I was the one to seduce you tonight," she told him.
Danny groaned, bending to kiss the long column of her neck, little nipping kisses that sent shivers down her spine. "Semantics," he whispered in between kisses. "I seduce you....you seduce me....in the end we're both happy. And very, very satisfied." Kate moaned, dropping her head back as he langerously licked the place where her neck met her shoulder, nipping at the pulse point. He did make a good arguement.....
"No," she finally whisperd, pulling out of his arms. "It's my turn."
Danny stared at her, his eyes hot, taking in her slightly disheveled state. Her eyes were molten pools of green, lips swollen from their kiss, cheeks flushed with passion. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Giving her a lopsided smile, Danny held his arms out to his side. "I am yours," he said simply, his voice deep and husky with his own passion.
Kate smiled, moving towards him again. "Yes you are." Slowly she began to unbutton his shirt, one button at a time, her eyes never leaving his. Seeing him looking at her with such desire, Kate wondered if she would be able to control herself and not just pounce on him as she wanted to. Once the the shirt was unbuttoned, she gently slid it off his tall frame, her hands sliding slowly over his chest, shoulders and down his arms. She smiled at the reflexive tensing of his muscles at her touch. Throwing the shirt off to the side, she stared up at him, standing before her in a sleeveless undershirt, her heart pounding in her ears.
"You know," she said softly, her hands beginning to trace lightly over his chest, "It's times like this that I really miss your dogtags," she told him.
"Really?" he asked, his voice low, not wanting to ruin the spell she was casting over him.
"Yes," she admitted. "All those long months in China....living with you....sleeping next you....sitting across from you at meals...watching you with Grace....in my memories you are always dressed like this," her hands ran up his chest and then back down his stomach, enjoying the feel of his warm skin beneath the cotton undershirt, "your dogtags dangling here," she placed her hand over his heart, then snaked it up until it rested behind his neck. "And I always wanted to grab them and pull you down," the pressure of her hand bringing him down to face level, "and kiss you like this." Her lips pressed against his, her tongue boldly sweeping through his mouth, taking possession of him. Marking him as hers. But before he could fully react she placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away. "You were so damn sexy," she told him.
"Kate..." he moaned, trying to pull her to him again.
"No, mine," she said, keeping her hand against his chest.
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Danny nodded, trying to gain control of himself again. Being seduced was hard work, he realized. He didn't know if he was going to survive.
Smiling at his acquisience, Kate began untucking his undershirt, slowly raising it over his stomach, her hands touching as much of his warm skin as possible, grazing over his chest, teasing his nipples. She smiled at his quick intake of breath. With his impatient help, the cotton shirt was soon discarded. Running a finger over his chest, down his collar bone, around his nipple, over his ribs, past scars, down to to where his pants rest on his hips, Kate stared at his magnificant body.
"You've changed so much....since the first time I saw you," she whipsered, both hands now trailing over him.
Danny laughed lightly, his stomach clenching at her light touches. He wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her senseless. "Well, I'm not bleeding...." he said hoarsely
"That's not what I mean," she told him, her eyes hooded with desire. "You were pretty scrawny in China, though. We all were, but since.....you've filled out here," her hands ran over his broad shoulders, molding the muscles of his upper arms, "and here," she skimmed over his chest and ribs, marveling at the play of muscles over his body, how they jumped and tensed at the slightest touch from her.
Danny stiffled a moan. She was trying to drive him crazy. "Lots of work on the ship, and...uh...here, with Rafe."
"Yes, here on the farm," she grinned up at him, before moving around to his back, her hands moving up and down. "Are you sure you want to be a teacher?...I kind of like watching you do....manual labor...all sweaty from working in the fields, or greasy from working on the plane. I swear, there are times, when you come in for dinner...and I have to leave the room so as not to embarrass myself before Evelyn. You are so...sexy." she told him.
Danny tried to laugh, but it came out as more of a grunt this time, his senses drugged by her gentle assault. "Sexy?"
"Yes, sexy," she leaned, her arms wrapping around his middle, her face pressed against his back. "You are so sexy to me, I don't know how I lived with you for so long... without doing anything."
"I don't know how, either," he agreed, his hands rubbing softly up and down her arms, enjoying the feel of her body pressed against his.
"I dreamed about it," she said softly against his back, placing fluttering kisses on his shoulder blades. "I thought about you a lot."
Groaning, Danny hung his head, his chest pounding frantically at her touch and her words. "I thought about you too," he whispered.
"Did you?" Kate asked, softly kissing one of his scars, her hands rubbing his stomach and sides. "I think I had a head start over you, though." She nipped at his back, smiling as his breath hissed. "Those weeks that you were so sick....I got to know your body very well....I could see how beautiful you were, despite the wounds." She ducked in front of him again, her lips and tongue caressing his chest. "And after...in the camp...I watched you and I wondered...what would it be like...to touch you," her tongue flicked out, teasing his nipple, "what you would taste like." Danny groaned, he could barely understand her words, his body strung tight with desire. "It wasn't fair that I only had you for those two nights before I....had to leave." She stopped and looked up at him, gently kissing the scar nearest to his heart. Running her hands down his arms, lacing her fingers in his, she smiled up at him, her eyes almost glowing. "But now, you're mine and I'm yours.....this is the way that love is supposed to be," she whispered. "Forever."
Danny looked down at her in awe, his heart reflected in his eyes.
"Touch me," she said softly, placing his hands on her waist.
That was all the permission Danny needed. With a groan her pulled her to him, his lips kissing her searingly, branding her as his. Kate opened herself to him with a small moan, her arms wrapped around his neck. Danny's hands threaded through her hair, expertly removing the clip that held it in place, letting it draped down her back. He continued to kiss her, only pulling away when he could breath no more. "You're trying to kill me, aren't you?" he whispered hoarsely, his hands roaming over her back, through her hair, trying to touch as much as of her as possible. She only laughed, kissing and licking his neck.
Straightening, Danny began unbuttoning her blouse, his hands shaking slightly. In moments it was gone, added to the growing pile of disarded clothes. Soon her bra followed, and her breasts where finally released, much to his delight. Gently he cupped them, his thumbs running lightly over her nipples, causing her to gasp and arch against him. They were fuller now, filled with milk for Sam, but still soft as he kneaded them in his hands. Leaning down, his tongue circled slowly around her nipple, before closing in on it and tugging it with his lips. Kate groaned softly, her hands tangling in his hair, holding him to her breast. He increased his pressure, briefly tasting her milkiness.
Kate tugged at his hair. "I don't think you should...uh...do...that," she practically moaned. "Or we could have a problem."
Danny smiled and transfered his attention to her other nipple.
"Oh, Danny," Kate gasped.
Looking up at her, Danny saw the drugged look in her eyes. Cupping her face he kissed her again; gently, teasingly....exploring her mouth with his tongue. Her small whimpers of pleasure sending sparks flying through his body. Kate let out a low moan as their bodies, devoid of their restrictive shirts, finally met, flesh to flesh.
Kate pulled away from him finally, breathless. She stared up into his eyes, her body humming with his touch, wanting to feel him inside of her, a part of her. "I love the way that you love me," she whispered, her hand caressing his jaw. Reaching for his belt, she began to undo it.
Danny chuckled, "Whose the impatient one, now?" he asked her.
Kate laughed. "Are you going to help me or not?" Danny didn't respond, but his hands covered hers, quickly undoing the buttons and sliding his pants off. Kate looked him over appreciatively, seeing his obvious desire. "God, you are beautiful."
Danny shook his head at her comment, instead reaching for the buttons skirt, leaning to kiss her deeply as it dropped off her body. Kicking it onto their pile of clothes, Kate ran her hands over Danny's lower back, caressing his bare bottom. The man was all muscle. Danny had the same idea, his hands trailing slowly over her back, over her garter belt and then.....skin.
He pulled back, looking down at her, his eyes wide with shock, then he grinned. "You seem to be missing something," he laughed.
Kate smiled, slightly embarassed. "Well, it was hot today and...."
"You forgot to put on your skivvies?" Danny suggested, pulling her back into his arms, nuzzling her neck.
"Something like that," she answered.
Danny looked up at her seriously. "Please tell me you don't always walk around like this," he said.
Kate frowned. "Why?"
Waiting a beat before answering Danny finally smiled. "Because it would totally destroy my sanity if on hot days I had to wonder whether my wife was walking around without any underwear on!"
"Oh!" Kate laughed. Bending slightly in his arms she began to unhook her garters.
Danny stilled her hands. "No, mine." Before she could protest, Danny swept her up into his arms and gently placed her on the blanket. Above her Kate could only see Danny and the stars shining brightly behind him. Heaven.
Danny could only stare down at Kate as she layed beneath him, her hair spread out like a fan about her head. She was his, he realized. All these months...going to New York, proving that he really was alive, trying to get to this point....the years in China living with her day in and day out pretending....growing up, wondering if he would ever find someone just for him, his very own soulmate....and now she was finally his. Kathryn Marie Walker. Mrs. Danny Walker. She was his. Forever.
Resting on his elbow, one leg covering hers, Danny reached out and softly stroked her cheek. "Do you know how long...I have waited for this day?" he asked softly, his eyes never leaving her face.
Kate smiled gently, looking up at him. "Forever," she whispered.
Danny ran his hand over her body, touching her, feeling her softness. "And a day," he agreed. Leaning down he kissed her gently, keeping his passion reigned in. It was a kiss of love and committment. Of surrender. Pulling back he looked into her eyes, there was no need for words. This was the beginning...of everything.
Slowly his hand traced down her body until he reached the clips of her garter. Grinning, he expertly unclipped her stocking. "Now, it's my turn," he told Kate moving to sit up. Rolling the stocking, Danny kissed his way down her leg, his hands carressing the smooth top, the sensitive flesh of her inner thigh. Slowly his tongue circled her knee, causing Kate to groan, her hands grasping the blanket beneath her. He continued down her calf, his mouth and hands not missing an inch of skin, until finally the stocking was off. Place a kiss on the top of her foot, Danny grinned up at Kate, seeing her flushed face, her eyes closed.
"Now the other," he whispered, causing Kate to groan louder.
"I don't think I can stand much more," she moaned. "Please..."
Danny chuckled, poised over her lower body. "Turnabout is fair play, my darling." He kissed the top of thigh, his fingers gently caressing the heat that pulsed between her legs.
"Danny!" she hissed, her back arching, hands gripping the blanket tightly.
He could feel her warmth, how wet she was. She was more than ready, he knew...so was he...but not yet. Not yet.
Slowly he eased his fingers away, continuing with his assigned task of removing her remaining stocking. He moved slowly, torturously. Kate was breathless, unable to keep still by time he was done. Danny wasn't much better...his body aching to join hers, but he didn't give in. He began to kiss his way back up her body. Stopping to caress her center with his tongue, Kate's legs opening for him instinctively.
Kate couldn't speak, she could barely form a coherent thought. She could only feel; Danny's hands, his tongue...on her body...in her body...she could feel her body tensing....climbing...searching....
"Danny," she groaned, her back arching, forcing her hips against him. "Please...I want....I want...you." She looked down at him, her eyes heavy with desire. "Please," she whispered.
In seconds he was poised above her, her legs wrapping around his waist, pulling him towards her. Raising up, Kate captured his lips in a passionate kiss, her tongue thrusting into his mouth. Placing her hands on his lower back she raised her hips while pushing against him, urging him to finally consummate their evening...their being. With a groan, Danny slide into her warmth, his head dropping to rest against her shoulder as he fought to control himself.
"This feels so good," she moaned, shifting her hips until he was fully embedded inside her. "So good...."
Danny let out a little huff of air, his heart beating wildly in his chest. "It should," he told her, his voice rasping against her ear. "You haven't let me make love to you for the past 3 weeks."
"Three weeks, two days," she whispered. "It sounded like a good idea at the time..." She tried to move her hips against him again, but his weight held her pinned.
Danny groaned. "Don't do that yet," he warned her, biting her neck gently.
"Oh god, Danny," Kate whispered, her hands trailing all over his back. "Don't stop now. Please....." She moaned as he slowly withdrew and then entered her again. "Yes..." she hissed, her hips meeting his in an answering thrust.
Slowly, gently, the began to make love, their lips locked together as their bodies instinctively moved towards each other in counterpoint...Kate's body raising to his, as Danny's thrust down towards her...a natural rhythm that their bodies had followed before. This was no virginal wedding night, not a night for discovery and exploration. This night was a culmination of everything they had been through...dreamed of...hoped for...This night was a promise of forever.
Once again Kate could feel her body tightening, Danny's control, his slow and steady thrusts driving her to the very edge of sanity. Her head rolling side to side, she arched up against him, her hands grasping his back, feeling the muscles contracting and relaxing. Her heart felt like it was about to burst. She could hear Danny's labored breathing above her, realizing that she was not the only one having trouble breathing. She could feel the sweat on his skin as he strained to hold back, tasted the saltiness of his neck. "Danny," she groaned, pulling his lips to hers, tasting him. "I...want to...." she groaned involuntarily against his mouth as his body slammed into her more fully, evidence that his control was slipping. "I want to... make love...to...you.." she moaned.
Danny stilled for a moment, but then, with quick efficiency, rolled them over, Kate now astride him. "Your wish is my command," he whispered hoarsely.
Kate moaned loudly as she sank down onto him. Leaning forward, her hair falling like a curtain around them, she kissed him, their tongues caressing briefly, before she sat back, following the demands of her body as she began to move on top of him, grinding slowly.
Danny remained as still as possible, allowing her to control their pleasure. He reached up and began to caress her breasts, feeling their heaviness as the swayed above him. Leaning up, he pulled one nipple into his mouth, suckling gently. His hand teasing the other. Kate groaned, her motions becoming faster, her breathe coming in short gasps. Leaning down again, she pressed her mouth against his, the frantic beating of her heart matching his. He reached for her hips, guiding their movements as she began to make little mewling noises in the back of her throat, her eyes closed, mouth open as she gasped for breathe above him. He knew she was close.
He shifted again, lifting her up and then backwards so that he was once again poised over her. Kate opened her eyes in surprise, looking up at him. Eyes locked together, Danny increased his tempo, lifting her hips so that he could penetrate deeper, and in seconds her body was spasaming around his, finally having been pulled over the abyss...she was riding the waves of pleasure until her body trembled weakly.
Above her, Danny watched her as her eyes closed with pleasure, her mouth dropping open as she forgot to breathe; her hands grasped him, pulling at him, forcing him on. She arched against him with one final moan, her eyes drifting open slowly, the look of langerous pleasure in them causing Danny's own body to tighten unexpectedly.
She looked up at him with unadulterated love. "Danny," she whispered seductively. Knowing what she wanted, his body sped up, no longer in his control as it searched for it's own release in her body. He slammed into her, feeling her welcoming warmth, her legs wrapped high on his hips. Kate leaned up, her tongue flickering against his neck, followed by the light pressure of her teeth - that was all it took for Danny to explode into her, his body convulsing with pleasure so intense he thought he might black out. Closing his eyes, he rested his head against her shoulder once again, gasping, feeling her hands smoothing down his back, gentling him, his body pulsing out of his control. He could feel her humming softly as she too came down from an intense peak of pleasure.
"Well, I'd say that was worth a three week wait," Kate finally whispered, once their breathing had calmed somewhat.
Danny looked up at her, his eyes heavy with drugged sleep, his body totally relaxed. "Three weeks and two days," he reminded her, leaning in to kiss her softly. "And yes, it was worth the wait."
Kate loved the way she felt in Danny's arms. He was so much larger than her small frame, she felt engulfed in his embrace. As if she were slowly melting into him. She could feel the rise and fall of his breath, the steady pounding of his heart against her chest matching her own. With a small whimper, Kate rubbed her tongue softly against his lips, wanting to taste him further. Danny readily complied, the kiss deepening. Lost in the feelings that were thrumming through her body, Kate belatedly realized that Danny's hands were busy pulling her blouse out of her skirt.

"I seduce you....you seduce me....in the end we're both happy. And very, very satisfied." Kate moaned, dropping her head back as he langerously licked the place where her neck met her shoulder, nipping at the pulse point. He did make a good arguement.....
"No," she finally whisperd, pulling out of his arms. "It's my turn."
Danny stared at her, his eyes hot, taking in her slightly disheveled state. Her eyes were molten pools of green, lips swollen from their kiss, cheeks flushed with passion. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Giving her a lopsided smile, Danny held his arms out to his side. "I am yours," he said simply, his voice deep and husky with his own passion.
Kate smiled, moving towards him again. "Yes you are." Slowly she began to unbutton his shirt, one button at a time, her eyes never leaving his. Seeing him looking at her with such desire, Kate wondered if she would be able to control herself and not just pounce on him as she wanted to. Once the the shirt was unbuttoned, she gently slid it off his tall frame, her hands sliding slowly over his chest, shoulders and down his arms. She smiled at the reflexive tensing of his muscles at her touch.

In seconds he was poised above her, her legs wrapping around his waist, pulling him towards her. Raising up, Kate captured his lips in a passionate kiss, her tongue thrusting into his mouth. Placing her hands on his lower back she raised her hips while pushing against him, urging him to finally consummate their evening...their being. With a groan, Danny slide into her warmth, his head dropping to rest against her shoulder as he fought to control himself.
"This feels so good," she moaned, shifting her hips until he was fully embedded inside her. "So good...."
Danny let out a little huff of air, his heart beating wildly in his chest. "It should," he told her, his voice rasping against her ear. "You haven't let me make love to you for the past 3 weeks."
"Three weeks, two days," she whispered. "It sounded like a good idea at the time..." She tried to move her hips against him again, but his weight held her pinned.
Danny groaned. "Don't do that yet," he warned her, biting her neck gently.
"Oh god, Danny," Kate whispered, her hands trailing all over his back. "Don't stop now. Please....." She moaned as he slowly withdrew and then entered her again. "Yes..." she hissed, her hips meeting his in an answering thrust.
Slowly, gently, the began to make love, their lips locked together as their bodies instinctively moved towards each other in counterpoint...Kate's body raising to his, as Danny's thrust down towards her...a natural rhythm that their bodies had followed before. This was no virginal wedding night, not a night for discovery and exploration. This night was a culmination of everything they had been through...dreamed of...hoped for...This night was a promise of forever.
Once again Kate could feel her body tightening, Danny's control, his slow and steady thrusts driving her to the very edge of sanity. Her head rolling side to side, she arched up against him, her hands grasping his back, feeling the muscles contracting and relaxing. Her heart felt like it was about to burst. She could hear Danny's labored breathing above her, realizing that she was not the only one having trouble breathing. She could feel the sweat on his skin as he strained to hold back, tasted the saltiness of his neck. "Danny," she groaned, pulling his lips to hers, tasting him. "I...want to...." she groaned involuntarily against his mouth as his body slammed into her more fully, evidence that his control was slipping. "I want to... make love...to...you.." she moaned.
Danny stilled for a moment, but then, with quick efficiency, rolled them over, Kate now astride him. "Your wish is my command," he whispered hoarsely.
Kate moaned loudly as she sank down onto him. Leaning forward, her hair falling like a curtain around them, she kissed him, their tongues caressing briefly, before she sat back, following the demands of her body as she began to move on top of him, grinding slowly.
Danny remained as still as possible, allowing her to control their pleasure. He reached up and began to caress her breasts, feeling their heaviness as the swayed above him. Leaning up, he pulled one nipple into his mouth, suckling gently. His hand teasing the other. Kate groaned, her motions becoming faster, her breathe coming in short gasps. Leaning down again, she pressed her mouth against his, the frantic beating of her heart matching his. He reached for her hips, guiding their movements as she began to make little mewling noises in the back of her throat, her eyes closed, mouth open as she gasped for breathe above him. He knew she was close.
He shifted again, lifting her up and then backwards so that he was once again poised over her. Kate opened her eyes in surprise, looking up at him. Eyes locked together, Danny increased his tempo, lifting her hips so that he could penetrate deeper, and in seconds her body was spasaming around his, finally having been pulled over the abyss...she was riding the waves of pleasure until her body trembled weakly.
Above her, Danny watched her as her eyes closed with pleasure, her mouth dropping open as she forgot to breathe; her hands grasped him, pulling at him, forcing him on. She arched against him with one final moan, her eyes drifting open slowly, the look of langerous pleasure in them causing Danny's own body to tighten unexpectedly.
She looked up at him with unadulterated love. "Danny," she whispered seductively. Knowing what she wanted, his body sped up, no longer in his control as it searched for it's own release in her body. He slammed into her, feeling her welcoming warmth, her legs wrapped high on his hips. Kate leaned up, her tongue flickering against his neck, followed by the light pressure of her teeth - that was all it took for Danny to explode into her, his body convulsing with pleasure so intense he thought he might black out. Closing his eyes, he rested his head against her shoulder once again, gasping, feeling her hands smoothing down his back, gentling him, his body pulsing out of his control. He could feel her humming softly as she too came down from an intense peak of pleasure.
"Well, I'd say that was worth a three week wait," Kate finally whispered, once their breathing had calmed somewhat.
Danny looked up at her, his eyes heavy with drugged sleep, his body totally relaxed. "Three weeks and two days," he reminded her, leaning in to kiss her softly. "And yes, it was worth the wait."
