I am Soooooo sorry! This fic has been lingering on my computer since forever, and I basically hate it because back when I wrote it I wasn't a very good writer. Anyway because I haven't had to write updates for this story I forgot to update at all. So sorry! Anyway that was one mean cliffhanger so I hope you'll forgive me!

Just the two of us (part 12)

She looked at him with great disbelief in her eyes. That lasted for a couple of seconds, after which tears filled her eyes and she started crying. He didn't know what to do, whether to take her into his arms, or just stay where he was. Finally he decided to pull her towards him, and she leant into his comforting arms.

'How...how can you think I don't love you' She sobbed. 'I love you so much'

Tears streamed down her face. He kept wiping them away and held her in his arms. His heart was racing, but he felt guilty for causing her all this pain. Where had things gone wrong?

She looked up at him and saw that his cheek was still red. With one finger she slowly carressed the spot.

'Marc made me laugh because he didn't know about the rape...so when I was with him I didn't have to think about it...'

Her confession hurt him a little.

'So with me you have to think about it all the time?'

She couldn't help nodding. It was the truth, even if it hurt him, she had to tell him.

'It's not because of you...but you treat me like I'm so fragile...and that's good...but that makes me remember it more too...and it's not that I don't love being around you cause I do...but it was just fun to think of something else for a while...and I didn't know it hurt you so much'

He looked at her and stroked through her hair.

'Did he try something?'

Dawn looked into his eyes.

'I didn't know he liked me until tonight...if I had known I wouldn't have spent so much time with him...I'm so sorry'

'Sweety...it's not your fault...I was just jealous and stupid...but you're so beautiful...and I love you so much...I was just so scared I would lose you'

She pulled him closer to her and kissed him with all the love she had in her.

'You won't ever lose me.'

After that she looked at him.

'And no...he didn't try anything...well...just slowdancing, but I didn't want that...'

A little smile crossed her face.

'That...and me...that's all for you...'

He couldn't help but smiling. He loved her so much. He kissed her forehead and lingered there for a while, before gently kissing her. She responded quickly, her arms around his neck and her hands finding their way in his hair, she opened her mouth for his tongue. A small moment later they were kissing passionately on her bed. He was on top of her and his hands slid under her shirt. There he paused for a moment. They hadn't gone further since she had been raped. She looked at him with a hesitation in her eyes.

'Riley?'

He heard she had something serious to ask him so he stopped kissing her neck to look at her for a moment. He thought he would see fear in her eyes, but he just saw love and desire.

'do...do your parents dissapprove of pre-marital sex?'

He kissed her nose.

'Did you think that's why I wouldn't let you sleep with me?'

'You said your parents were deeply religious'

'Yeah they are...but they understand the world has changed...and they know I'm not a virgin anymore...they don't really like that, but it's okay for me to have sex if it's with someone I really love'

Her eyes went all sparkly and he had to hold his breath for a second. She kissed him again and he surrendered.

They were both sweaty and hungry for eachother. It felt a bit like a wrestlingcompetition, they both tried to undress eachother as quickly as possible. He could feel her desire for him in her kisses, in the impatient way she pulled at his clothes. He tried to help her take off his shirt while at the same time he tugged at her jeans. She craved to feel him inside her, had never wanted him anymore than she did right then and there. She pulled his jeans down, his boxers alongside with it. The way he kissed her just drove her insane. She was so hungry for him she almost tore her panties while trying to get out of her clothes as soon as possible.

She could feel he was as ready as he was, that they could skip the forplay and go straight to the lovemaking. When he tried to reach into a drawer to get out a condom she stopped him. He looked at her with a questioning look in his eyes. She shook her head and heard the sigh he gave when he let go of the breath he had held.

'Are you...are you sure?'

She hesitated for one second, then nodded. She was sure. She wanted him, not just him, but all of him. She wanted him inside her, without the barrier of a condom. She knew it would be better for him too, and all she wanted to do was make him happy.

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her while he slid into her moist channel. She moaned and snuggled up closer to him. It didn't take long for them both to come, and afterwards they lied together, all wrapped up into eachother, looking deep into eachothers eyes. And for the first time since weeks she felt like this was exactly right.
