1 week had passed and Michelle was finally ready to go home. The doctors kept her in a little longer to be on the safe side. She was making fantastic progress and was now able to freely walk around unassisted. Her bruises had begun to fade and barely gave her any trouble at all. She still felt a little weak but as long as she kept up with the pain killers and kept quiet she felt ok. She was so sick of being in the hospital and was dying to just have some real time with Tony. It felt like she hadn't had a chance to just be alone with him forever – they were constantly interrupted by nurses or visitors. Tony had spent everyday running between her and their new apartment. Along with the help of all of their friends and family everything was now completely set up and ready for them to move in. Tony's parent had bought them new sheets and towels as a gift and had also stocked the fridge with food figuring it was the last thing Tony or Michelle needed to be worrying about.
Tony was tired, it had been such a physically demanding week and he still wasn't sleeping very well, then again neither was Michelle. He was sick to death of seeing Michelle in hospital, all he wanted was to take her home to their new place. He wanted time alone with her, he was sick of sharing her with everyone else and never being able to snuggle close to her without a nurse walking in. He couldn't believe how much better she was doing. It had been quite a long time since the attack now but he still thought she was doing remarkably well. Finally the bruises were fading and he was able to touch and hold her without worrying about hurting her.
After over an hour of paperwork and instructions they were finally on their way. Once Tony got Michelle inside the apartment he took her for the grand tour. Michelle fell in love with their new place and spent a long time in each room just taking everything in. It was nearing dinner and Tony was ready to settle in for the night.
"Chelle, should I order us in something for dinner and maybe then we could watch a movie or something?"
"Sounds perfect. Thank you so much Tony – for everything, I love our place. I can't believe it's ours and I am living here with you."
Tony crossed the room and bought Michelle in for a hug. "Thank you for agreeing to move in with me Chelle. This is going to be so good." He kissed her softly on the lips. "I love that I don't have to worry about someone walking in on us."
"I've missed you Tony. I know we've been together but I miss just time with you, I miss being close to you." She traced his face with her fingers before kissing him again, this time with a little more intensity.
She went to pull back but he whined. "mmm don't stop." She smiled and kissed him again. His hands slid down her back pulling her in closer to him.
There was a knock at the door. Tony pulled back. "Bull shit, you've got to be kidding me."
"It's ok Tony."
"No its not. I just want 5 minutes with you...." He cursed under his breath as he made his way to the door. He didn't see Michelle smiling behind him. He opened the door to find a delivery man.
"Tony Almeida?"
"Yeah, that's me but I haven't ordered anything."
Michelle made her way up to Tony. "I did."
He looked at her confused. "What is it?"
A couple men walked something huge covered in a sheet through the door asking where they wanted it. Michelle directed them into the spare room. Tony followed, he had no idea what was going on. Michelle signed the paper work and let the men out and then returned to Tony who was still just staring at it. "Go ahead, uncover it."
He pulled the sheet off to reveal a huge beautiful wood and glass cabinet. The bottom of it was lined with racks for wine, the middle section was set up for spirits and running down both sides was glassed sections for wine, beer, and shot glasses. Tony's mouth dropped open. "Wow...Oh my God, I love it. What?...How?...Why?"
Michelle rubbed his back. "I got it for you Tony, I wanted you to have somewhere to store the wines you have been collecting."
He ran his hand across it. "But Chelle, it must have cost a fortune, I love it so much. I've always wanted something like this. I can't believe you did this..."
"You've been so good to me Tony. I could never have gotten through everything without you. This is just something to let you know how much I appreciate you and all you've done for me."
He turned back and hugged her tightly. "I adore you so much Chelle. I'll always be here for you, I don't want you to think you had to do something for me. You have been everything to me as well."
"I just wanted you to have it Tony. I knew you would like it and I know you needed somewhere to put your liquor collection."
"Thank you so much sweetheart. I love it so much." He kissed her, "I love you so much. Wow....thanks, I just can't believe it!"
Michelle hugged him back. She loved seeing him so happy, his smile made her feel tingles. She just watched him as he went back to exploring the cabinet out. He ran and grabbed one of his bottles of wine and tested how it fit. "Perfect! I can't wait to put them all in....can I do it now?"
Michelle laughed. "Of course baby. Can we order dinner first so it can be on the way?"
Tony pulled out his cell. "What do you feel like?"
"Pasta?"
"Good choice!" Tony put an order through for dinner and then began lugging in boxes of his wine and spirits to set the cabinet up. They sat together and sorted through them all and put them in order of years. Michelle wiped each bottle for him before he put them into the cabinet. Tony smiled in excitement the whole time and Michelle smiled at seeing him so happy. Once they were done with the wines they moved onto setting up the spirit bar. "Chelle, I want to get new glasses for the cabinet...all the proper ones for each drink. I can't have everything set up like this and then have my old crappy glasses!"
"Maybe we could go shopping tomorrow? Maybe we could even then look at TV's as well?"
Tony laughed. "Sounds like a plan to me." He moved in to kiss her but again the door knocked, this time it was their food. As he got up to answer the door he rolled his eyes. "I am going to finish that kiss one of these days."
They ate dinner together in the office so that Tony could keep looking at the cabinet. They chatted about their new place and threw around the idea of having a house warming party. They thought it would also be a good way of being able to thank everyone for all their help and support lately. In the end they decided that they would pick up some invitations while they were at the shops the next day.
After dinner they moved back to the living room and settled on the couch to watch a DVD. Michelle was starting to get tired, she only really lasted a few hours at the moment before she needed to rest. She was having trouble getting comfortable on the couch and so Tony had them move into their bedroom where she could easily lie on the bed. Michelle lay on her back and Tony was on his side next to her, gently tracing her stomach. Before they started the movie he kissed her softly. "Are you comfortable honey? You are starting to look really tired."
"I'm ok, I guess I am feeling a little tired again. You have no idea how much I've thought about this moment though Tony over the last week. You and I alone in our new place together."
"Me too. I am so happy Michelle." He leaned over and kissed her again, this time he let his tongue explore her mouth and his hand cupped the side of her cheek. Her hand ran up and down his chest and within moments she was tugging on it so he would take it off. As he sat up to remove his top he pulled her with him and took hers off as well. He watched with his mouth open as she took her bra off for him. She slowly began to lay down again for him and his body followed. Tony took a moment to look at her body. Michelle still felt self conscious of the bruises and marks on her body. Even though they had faded they were still pretty obvious. "Don't look at me Tony, can we turn the lights out?"
Tony rolled over and flicked the light off. "What's wrong Chelle?"
"I just hate you having to look at me with these marks."
"Sweetheart, you are so beautiful. I look at them as marks of how brave and courageous you have been."
She smiled at him but she still looked very nervous. He tried again to calm her. "I am so turned on Chelle just looking at you right now." Tony pressed himself against her and ran his hand over her chest and down her body to her thighs. He spoke softly. "Come on Chelle....I want you so much..." He hesitated while he waited for her to respond to him. He wanted to be with her so much but he would wait for her, he wanted her to feel comfortable with herself. He understood why she felt the way she did, he just wished he knew how to make her see how beautiful he thought she was and that he didn't think twice about the bruises.
Michelle bit her lower lip and then took Tony's hand and started running it up and down her body again. He sighed in relief and then nuzzled her head to the side so he could kiss her neck. He used his tongue to wildly explore her shoulder, neck, ear and cheek. He groaned loudly as he worked over her body. Michelle began to relax and allow herself to enjoy what was going on. Hearing Tony groan and the way he was passionately touching her was helping accept he really was ok with bruises and scars. It felt like it had been so long since they could be together like this, his touch felt even better than she had been remembering it. She ran her hand across the front of his jeans, at her touch he pushed himself into her hand. She ran her hand across him again, this time a lot harder. He grunted and gripped her firmer.
Tony began to undo her buckle and pants. Michelle started kissing him desperately, a small part of her hoped it would distract him enough from looking at her legs. He had seen her millions of times now with these bruises and cuts but it just felt different when he was seeing them when they were being intimate. She had always wanted to be everything Tony could want in bed and it just didn't feel like she was doing that right now.
Tony could tell how self conscious and nervous Michelle still was. He stopped fiddling with her pants and put his hand on her cheek. "Are you sure you are ready for this Chelle? Tell me what you are thinking."
"I want to be with you more than anything Tony. I need to be, I want to be as close to you as possible. I know you have seen all my scars before heaps of times but it just feels different when we are being so intimate. I'm scared I won't be exactly what you want."
Tony wrapped his leg across hers and pressed his body into her side a little firmer. He began massaging her face with his hand. "Michelle, I need to be with you as well, just to be as close to you as I can. Honey I am so turned on by you it's crazy – you rile me up all the time, just by doing the smallest things. I really don't want you to worry about the bruises because I am not even thinking about them – I'm thinking about you and me together and how incredible it feels. You are already exactly what I want – in fact you are even more amazing then I ever could have imagined. I don't want to push you Michelle, you have to tell me if you are not comfortable with us taking things further right now. I love you so much and there are plenty of times for us to be together – we have forever, so there is no reason for you to do anything you are not 100 ready for. I promise I'm totally fine with whatever you want baby."
Michelle couldn't get over how sweet Tony was to her. He made her feel so special, he made her feel more confident with herself. He had said all the right things, she needed to hear all of that. Michelle lifted her arm and started to play with the bottom of his hair and neck. "Thanks Tony, thank you for saying everything I needed to hear. I want you now Tony – I am comfortable, hearing you tell me that it doesn't bother you makes me feel better. I want all of you Tony..."
His cheeky grin appeared and he lowered his head so he could kiss her. It was so soft and sweet for a few minutes. He was being so tender with her and it was a very intimate, special moment. She pulled back just an inch so she could speak, "This feels so good Tony, you make me feel incredible."
"I adore you and I adore your touch Chelle." Tony sat up so he could pull her jeans off, she was now completely naked in front of him. Standing at the end of the bed he took a moment to study her. "God you are sexy..." He sat on his knees in between her legs and stretched his arms out to run his hands up and down her entire body. They held eye contact the whole time. Tony gently massaged a big bruise on her hip. Michelle watched him, he was obviously doing this for her – to show her how much it didn't bother him. He then leant down and kissed her hip using his tongue. Michelle's face was glowing. "Thank you Tony, I love you."
"I love you Chelle." He crawled his body up over hers so he could kiss her on the lips. His body completely covered hers. They kissed each other passionately whilst running his hands down the sides of her body, anywhere he could reach. "Michelle tell me if I am hurting you."
"Actually maybe I could be on top of you? I feel sore like this. Is that alright?"
Tony jumped off her immediately and sat beside her. "I'm sorry, I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Of course you can be on top of me – I would love that."
"Tony don't be sorry sweetie. Lay down on your back for me,"
Tony slid himself off the bed. Michelle looked at him confused. "I want to take off my jeans, I hope that's ok..."
Michelle looked at him seductively. "More than ok, might as well take your boxers off too." Tony did what she said and Michelle very obviously watched checking him out. It was easy to see how turned on Tony was, he began to make his way back to the bed. Michelle didn't take her eyes off him. "You are gorgeous Tony." He went to pull her in closer, she took his hand and he helped her sit on top of him. She immediately began kissing and running her hands all over him. Tony closed his eyes and moaned. Michelle started to kiss him on the lips, running her tongue on his chin and cheeks. Tony was slowly lifting his body up against her. He held onto her chest. "Chelle....I want to be inside you."
Michelle didn't speak, instead she lifted her body up, and then sat again pushing him inside her. They both groaned loudly and Michelle bent down and they kissed roughly.
Tony began to explore Michelle harder and faster, he was grunting and groaning louder than Michelle. She grabbed his arms and pinned them above his head, this seemed to be the thing that pushed him over the edge. "I'm close......Michelle, I'm close!!" She shifted her hips from side to side and within seconds he had climaxed. He was so loud when he climaxed that he surprised Michelle. He cupped her face. "Chelle that was amazing, you are amazing. Oh my God, you have no idea how much I've wanted to be with you – I thought about that all week. You can do things to me that I never dreamed possible."
Michelle kept tracing her hands across his chest. "I've thought about it all week as well. This is the best feeling in the world..." She began to move her hips again from side to side. Tony looked at her a little surprised. He couldn't believe she wanted to go again. He was so excited. Michelle had just been unbelievable and he had spent every second wishing it would last forever. He was more than ready to be with her again so lifted he lower body firmly into hers. He continued doing this over and over. Michelle bit her bottom lip and pressed her hands into his chest. "Wow Tony....you are so riled up, I don't think I've seen you like this before..."
Tony kept moving his hips, he was panting a little and he was still exploring her chest. "You have gotten me so riled up sweetie. I can't help it, you just feel so good." He pushed into her again. "This feel ok Chelle?"
"So good. I love you....I love you so much Tony."
Tony and Michelle made love for awhile longer. They held each others gaze and kissed tenderly.
