Thank you to everyone who left a review for the first chapter. I have discovered miracle known as spell check and I honestly believe that the designer had me in mind when he invenrted it. Ha Ha just joking invented it. On with the show......

Harm slowly slides his arms around her waist and he pulls her in and deepens the kiss.

Mac slowly pulls back "You can't imagine how long I have waited to hear that." she says with a smile

Harm chuckles a little "Probably not as long as I have waited to say it."

"You should have said it sooner. You know all this time you were right. I wouldn't have believed it then but I can see it now." Mac says starting to sound serious

"About what?" Harm questions

"About me running. You know that I have always depended on you to save me when I need it. I always knew that you would be there, no matter what, and you have never let me down . I just never realized that I counted on you to save me from myself. The reason that I was upset that you were leaving the night before my wedding to Mic was because on some level, I expected you to save me from it... and you did. I think that is why I pushed you away after Mic left, even after I knew about your break up with Renae. I felt like on some level I was pushing you into a relationship with me and I didn't want it to be like that, not with us. I wanted you to find your own way. I could never admit what I had done to Mic or to you and because of that I kept this distance between us all this time. Every time you started to show any interest I had to test it. I have been so afraid for so long. Afraid of ending up with the wrong man...afraid of being alone...afraid of myself... and afraid of you."

"Afraid of me? Why Mac?" Harm asks softly

"I have been afraid that once you came to terms with your feelings and actually said them out loud, and then had time to comprehend what you had done, you would take them back and stay in your comfort zone" Mac tells him honestly

"Oh Mac I'm so sorry" Harm whispers. Then he pulls her back in for another passionate kiss.

Mac slowly pulls back and reaches up and begins to unbutton Harms shirt.

Harm stops and looks into Mac's deep brown eyes as to say 'are you sure?' Mac understand this just gives a gentile nod. Harm reaches up and her face, the most beautiful face he has ever seen in the palm of his hands and kisses her again.

She can feel his heart pounding in his chest as she undoes the buttons of his shirt. Once that task is completed she slides her hands up his chest and over his shoulders and relieves him of his shirt. She can hear him moan from deep within as her hand caress him.

He leads a small trail of kisses down her neck, then with one hand pulls her shirt over so he can kiss her shoulders. He then proceeds to unbutton her blouse. As he undoes each button he plants a gentile kiss in its place. Once he has reached the last button he slides both hands to her hips and plants soft kissed on her stomach. Mac lets the shirt slide off of her shoulders and fall onto the floor. Harm leans back to take in her beauty.

Mac pull him back up with both hands planted firmly on each side of his head, her hunger for him evident in her eyes. Harm pushes his way up and straight to her lips and once again the passion of the moment is released in their kiss. This time growing stronger and stronger as their hands rome the others naked flesh. Little beads of sweat are starting to form but it is only seconds before they are wiped away by the hungry hands. Harm leans down and plants kissed down Macs neck and into her soft breasts. He hears her moan and lets his hands slide down her sides, down her hips, down to her thighs and in one incredibly smooth motion he lifts her up. She immediately assumes the position and wraps her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. He finds his way straight back to her lips and leads them into the bedroom and lays them both onto the bed. He removes her bra before she even realizes what he has done. As he continues to kiss her he finds his way down to the button on her skirt and unfastens it, then slides his hand around to her sides and over the top of the wait of both skirt and panties. Then he slide his body down slightly so that his feet touch the floor and gently removes the remainder of her clothing, the only barriers left between him and her. He stands there and takes in her beauty "You are so beautiful Sara." he softly whispers. Then he quickly undoes his pants removes both pants and boxers. He raises his eyes to look at her, a little grim forming across her face. Then he quickly slides back into the bed and their lips find one another again.

Mac rolls him over and plants wet hungry kisses over his chest and stomach. Harm pulls her back up and roll her back over he begins to kiss her breast as he lets one hand slide down and feel her hunger for him. "Oh God I need you Harm!" she says in a desperate voice and with that he finds his position between her legs and they gently rock, there skin like melted butter you can't tell where one stops and the other starts. The way it was meant to be. They continue to make love all night until they both fall into an exhausted slumber.

The next morning Harm wakes up to find Mac nestled peacefully in his arms. He can't believe that after all this time she is really here. He memorizes everything about her and then he realizes that this is the happiest moment of his life. He feels her start to stir and he whispers "Hi there sleepy head."

She gives him a sleepy smile and says "I'm glad to hear your voice. I thought that it was all a dream, a wonderful dream."

"To be honest I did to. I just can't believe that you are really here. I love you Sara" Harm leans in and gives her a gentile kiss.

Mac nestles her head down onto his chest.

Harm gently rolls over and reached into the night stand beside him. "Sara, I don't ever want you to be afraid again."

Mac raises up and looks him in the eyes. She can sense there is something different about him now, she just wasn't sure what.

"I have come to terms with my feelings and I don't take them back, I don't ever want to take them back. You are my comfort zone, you always have been, I was just too blind to see it. I love you Sara Catherine McKenzie. I always have and I always will." he gently reached down and takes her hand in his and pulls it up to his chest "I bought this shortly after Mic left. I've just been waiting for the right time." he reveals the ring in his hand

"Oh Harm" Mac whispers as tears fill her eye

"Sara Catherine McKenzie will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Harm says as he slides the ring over her delicate finger

"Yes! Yes! Yes" Mac says overcome by tears now. She slides up and kisses Harm hungrily and they begin a replay of last night.
