CH 11-A Night of Passion
"Oh Fox," Theresa whispered.
She completely melted in his arms as he slowly led a trail of kisses down her neck. Closing her eyes, she inhaled his intoxicating scent. His kisses felt so good on her bare skin; she couldn't stop herself from wanting more.
She pulled him to the sandy ground, placing herself directly under him as his lips once again hungrily met hers. She moaned softly as his hands moved lower down her back, playfully tugging at her dress. Theresa had to bite her lip to stop herself from screaming, as she felt his leg lightly brush between her thighs. The pleasure of feeling him so intimately close to her made her head spin. She knew right then and there that she wanted him more than anything.
As if reading her mind, he carefully lifted the bottom of her dress and slid his hand up her thigh. She shivered from the contact but let out a small moan to let him know that she liked it. Fox was just about to make his next move but he stopped. He let out a sigh and rolled from on top of her.
"No, Fox what are you doing? Please don't stop." Theresa begged, trying to pull him back down.
"We shouldn't be doing this." He paused to correct himself. "I shouldn't be doing this."
"What are you talking about?" She tried to look into his eyes, but his gaze would not meet hers.
"You're weak Theresa. You only think you want to make love to me because you're upset about Ethan. I'm not going to take advantage of your vulnerability like this."
Theresa forced him to look at her by tilting up his chin.
"Fox, that's not true. I want you to make love to me. Tonight I realized that my hopes and dreams of Ethan are over. Ever since I met you, you have always been there for me. Even when it was something simple as taking me to a café to talk, you always tried your best to make me happy. That's why I want to be with you tonight, to let you know that I appreciate everything that you've done."
She cradled his face in her hands, and smiled at him.
"Well ok," he goofily grinned, pulling her close to him.
Theresa giggled softly as he once again made his way on top of her, hungrily kissing her mouth. He carefully unhooked the dress from around her neck and slipped it down her slender body, laying her back down on the blanket.
"You are so beautiful," he whispered, brushing his lips over her firm breasts.
Theresa unbuttoned his shirt and ran her hands over his toned chest, arching her back so that he could fit snuggly between her thighs.
"I need you Fox," she softly cried, nibbling on his ear. "I need you now!"
They spent the next few hours making sweet love under the stars. When they had finally stopped, Fox rolled from on top of her and smiled.
"Ok, break time!" He laughed staring down at her.
"That was amazing!" She happily sighed, looking up at the night sky.
"Gee, thanks babe!" He grinned, winking at her.
"You know what I mean," she giggled playfully nudging him. "I'm so glad we made love tonight. I feel so close to you right now."
She snuggled close to him and placed her head on his chest so she could hear his heartbeat.
"Me too." He simply said. He couldn't find the words to describe how happy he was at that moment. He loved her so much, and he was glad that she felt the same way about him.
They quietly held each other, feeling the cool night breeze on their skin.
"Fox?" Theresa finally spoke.
"Hmmm?"
"I'm hungry," she giggled looking up at him.
"You are?" He paused, taking a moment to think. "Alright then, I think I have just the thing to make you happy."
He got out from under the blanket and pulled on his pants, standing up.
"Where you are going?" She asked him, as he made his way around her.
"Don't you worry about that." He bent down and gently kissed her lips. "I'll be right back."
Theresa watched him as he ran down the sandy beach, heading in the direction of the mansion.
------------------------------------------
Fox slipped through the back doors of the mansion, and made his way into the kitchen. He almost jumped when he saw Gwen sitting at the table.
"Gwen, what are you doing here?"
Gwen spun around in her chair and glanced at the doorway.
"Fox! Where have you been?" She immediately got up and walked over to him. "Is Theresa alright?"
"Yeah, Theresa's fine. But what are you still doing here. I just came from the living room and the place is deserted." Fox went over to the fridge to grab some food.
"Yeah, the party sort of died down after Ethan's outburst. Everyone was waiting for you to come back with Theresa, but when you didn't people just started to leave. And plus without the guest of honor, there wasn't really any point to continuing the party."
"I'm sure I'm going to hear it from my mother in the morning. I don't think she would consider running after Theresa a good enough excuse to missing my welcome home party." He chuckled.
"Yeah, well Ivy's never really been fond of Theresa. Come to think of it, in the past I've never really been fond of Theresa. But I'm just glad that we managed to become friends despite our differences. Our love for Ethan really put a wedge between us." Gwen recalled. "But now that I'm with Hank, there's no reason for us to still remain bitter towards one another. Besides, having Theresa as a friend is much better than having her as an enemy."
"You got that right. Ethan told me that things between you two used to be pretty bad." Fox looked over at her.
"Yeah, but like I said I'm glad we're friends now." Gwen paused and looked around the room. "Uh, speaking of Theresa where is she?"
"Oh, I left her back at the beach."
"The beach? What were you guys doing there?" She inquired.
Fox hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to tell Gwen that he and Theresa were making love. He wasn't sure if Theresa wanted to make it public or not.
"Oh, we just talked." He simply said. "She's still really shaken up about this whole Ethan thing. I just thought she could use a friend." He closed the fridge and carried the food to the kitchen door.
"That's so sweet of you Fox. She really could use someone right now. I still can't believe how cruel Ethan was to her tonight." She noticed the food in his hand. "Hey, where are you going with that?"
"It's for Theresa. She said she was getting hungry." He held the door open for her.
"Oh ok. Well when you see her tell her I hope she feels better soon and not to worry too much about Ethan. I'll call her later when she gets home." Gwen called over her shoulder, walking towards the front door. "Good night Fox!"
"Yeah, goodnight Gwen!" He smiled.
He was about to slip out the back doors when something caught his eye.
"Ah-ha!" He grinned, holding up the expensive bottle of champagne. "Just what I needed." He grabbed two glasses and slipped through the sliding doors.
-------------------------------------------
Theresa laid back down on the blanket and breathed in the cool night breeze. She still couldn't believe that she had just made love to Fox. He was such a sweetheart; so caring and understanding. She just couldn't understand why it had taken her so long to realize that he was the one for her.
She smiled and closed her eyes, trying to imagine his warm lips against hers.
"Hey, hey don't fall asleep babe!" She suddenly heard his voice.
"I wasn't." She grinned, sitting up. "In fact I was just trying to imagine you kissing me."
"Well why imagine when that can easily become a reality?" He winked, placing a kiss on her lips.
"Mmmm," she mumbled grinning. "What did you bring me?"
Fox reached behind his back and pulled out the plate of chocolate-drizzled strawberries.
Theresa's face lit up at the sight of her favourite dessert.
He laughed at her expression, as he squeezed a drop of whip cream on the strawberry.
"Open wide beautiful!" He grinned, bringing the strawberry to Theresa's mouth.
"Mmmm," she smiled taking a bite. "I love you!"
Fox laughed and brought her face to his, kissing her lips.
He poured the champagne into the two glasses and handed one to her.
"Let's make a toast," he smiled. "To a new beginning filled with lots of love—and strawberries."
"Oh, yes! Lots and lots of strawberries!" Theresa giggled, bringing her glass to his.
"To us!"
"Oh Fox," Theresa whispered.
She completely melted in his arms as he slowly led a trail of kisses down her neck. Closing her eyes, she inhaled his intoxicating scent. His kisses felt so good on her bare skin; she couldn't stop herself from wanting more.
