A/N: WARNING: This is the chapter that earns its "adult rating". I tried to keep it as clean as possible, but one persons "R" could be someone else's "NC-17" and vice-versa, so who really knows. I hope that this chapter was worth waiting for. I apologize in advance if it doesn't live up to everybody's expectations. Since I'm still without a computer, I had to write this chapter in bits and pieces at different library computers in L.A. and string all the parts together…I tried to smooth it out as best as I can. This story has a few more chapters left to it, but it might be awhile before I can get the next chapter done. I appreciate the kind emails and reviews that were sent to me over the last few weeks waiting for the update. Thanks to all who read this far and stuck with the story. See you soon (I hope).

CHAPTER 15

The rest of the week had gone by relatively fast and it was now Friday afternoon. Calleigh was on her way home to prepare the meal for her and Ryan. She had stopped by Trace on her way out and told Ryan to be at her apartment at 8. Since she was done with work an hour early, it gave her plenty of time to prepare. Once she arrived at her place, she changed out of her work clothes and started to make dinner. While the food was cooking, she set the table with the dishes and silverware, finishing the placing with two candles. Looking up at the clock, it read 7:45. Calleigh quickly walked back over to the oven and pulled out the dishes she cooked and placed them on her table. She then went over to the refrigerator and took out the salad she prepared and grabbed a carton of milk. Setting the items down, she took one final look over the table to make sure everything was all ready. Calleigh walked into the bathroom to wash her face and untie her hair from the ponytail she had on while cooking. As she brushed her hair out, she looked into the mirror as she thought to herself, "I'm not going to change into anything. I want to keep it laid back and if it all goes well, I won't have much clothing to remove to begin with." A naughty smirk formed on her face. Calleigh left the bathroom and walked into her bedroom to make sure everything was in place: a few candles in the right spots and a CD player ready to play some light music. She wanted Ryan to feel comfortable and as little nervous as possible. This would be a major emotional experience for the both of them and she wanted to give him something wonderful that he would remember and hopefully something wonderful for her to remember, too. Sitting down on the corner of the bed, Calleigh waited for the knock on the door. A minute of two later, the knock came and she stood up. As she walked back into the kitchen, she lit the candles on the table and headed for the door. She took one final look at herself in the mirror as she pulled the door open.

"Hey handsome," Calleigh said as she looked at Ryan. "Come on in." Ryan froze as he stared at Calleigh. She was standing right in front of him barefoot, wearing nothing but a white t-shirt and a pair of cutoffs. He never had seen anything so sexy in his life. It was all he could do to compose himself and lean down and forward for a kiss which Calleigh was more than happy to give to him. He followed Calleigh into the kitchen, setting his jacket down on the counter. "Please sit down. I'll make you a plate." Ryan sat in his seat as Calleigh lifted the lids off the containers that held the food. She pulled out a piece of chicken fried steak out of the first one and then a big piece of cornbread out of the second. She placed the plate down in front of Ryan, and then proceeded to make her own plate. As she sat down, Ryan reached for the salad. He scooped out his portion and handed the bowl to Calleigh, who was pouring the milk into the glasses. She stopped to watch Ryan take his first bite. His eyes lit up. "Calleigh, this is so good. I can't believe that I've never had food like this before." She smiled. "Well, I'm glad that I didn't lose my cooking skills. It's been too long since I've made food for anybody." "Calleigh, you could make me anything and I'll eat it." Ryan replied as he picked up his cornbread to take a bite. Calleigh reached over and touched his arm. "Ryan, you need to butter it first. It will taste better." She pushed the tray of butter over to him. "Oh, I didn't think of that. This is my first time at trying this, you know." Ryan's words caused Calleigh to let out a little giggle. "Interesting choice of words," she thought to herself. Ryan looked at her. "What? You're laughing at me?" Ryan pretended to look offended. Calleigh smiled as he took a bite of cornbread. "Wow," Ryan mumbled as he spoke with a mouthful of food. "This is very good." He reached over and grabbed his glass of milk to take a sip. Calleigh watched him very closely. Ryan noticed her staring at him out of the corner of his eye. "What is it? Is there food on the side of my mouth?" He asked, as he set his glass back down. "No, you're fine." Calleigh continued to look at Ryan. "I'm just so happy that you're here right now with me and enjoying dinner." Ryan reached over and squeezed her hand. "I'm happy to be here with you too, Cal." Calleigh placed her other hand on top of Ryan's as she leaned over to kiss him. As she kissed him, she could taste the remnants of his cornbread on his lips. She opened her eyes to look at Ryan. "I could never get tired of this." He said, as he looked into her eyes. "I hope you never do." Calleigh replied as she sat back up in her chair. Ryan looked at her plate. "Calleigh, you haven't eaten much. Is something wrong?" "No, not really…well, I'm a little nervous about dessert." Calleigh looked down at her plate. "I hope you'll like it." Ryan reached over and lifted her chin up so she would look directly at him. "Calleigh, if it's just as good as dinner, you'll have nothing to worry about. Relax. Enjoy your dinner." Calleigh couldn't believe that he didn't pick up on what she was talking about. "I can't believe that he would be that naive." She thought to herself as she picked up her fork to eat.

The two of them were soon finished and Calleigh got up to clean the table. Ryan looked up. "Do you need me to help?" "No, I'm fine, Ryan. I'll take care of it." She placed the dishes in the sink and walked back over to the table to put the milk and salad dressing back into the fridge. She then quickly walked into her bedroom to light the candles and turn the CD player on." Thank you very much for dinner. It was wonderful." Ryan said as she walked back into the kitchen. Calleigh walked over to the table and stood directly in front of Ryan. "Are you ready for dessert?" "Sure. What is it?" Replied Ryan, as he looked at Calleigh. "Cal, why are you shaking?" "Because of this." She answered as she leaned down and kissed him hard on the lips. Ryan paused briefly, then reached up and placed his hand on the back of Calleigh's head and pushed her closer to him, his tongue meeting hers. They kissed deeply, never breaking the touch of their lips as Calleigh slowly backed up, letting Ryan get up from the chair. "I want you. I want you now." Calleigh mumbled as she went in for another kiss. They continued to kiss for a few more seconds before Ryan broke away. "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Calleigh looked at Ryan, confusion in her eyes. "No, you did nothing wrong. I-I just didn't think that it was going to lead up to this tonight." Ryan looked down at the floor. "I was so convinced that I was coming over just for dinner that I didn't bring any protection." "You don't need to worry about that," Calleigh answered as she took his face into her hands and looked into his eyes. "I'm on the pill." "You are?" Ryan said, his voice slightly quivering. "For how long?" "Three months now." Calleigh replied. Ryan's eyes narrowed. "Why? Were you anticipating something?" Calleigh let out a naughty laugh. "Kiss me, you fool." Ryan leaned back down to kiss Calleigh again. She then pulled him into the direction of the bedroom. As they both walked into the bedroom, Calleigh looked up at Ryan. "Are you nervous?" "A little bit," Ryan whispered as he took her hand. "You don't think we're rushing into things do you?" Calleigh reached up and cradled his face with her other hand. "Ryan, how long have we known each other?" "About a year." He said as he kissed her hand. Calleigh spoke again. "And how long have you had feelings for me?" "Calleigh, I've been in love with you for about 5 months now." She smiled. "It's been about the same for me, Ryan. I thought long and hard about this myself. I love you so much that I want to show my love to you. Will you let me?" "Yes. God knows how many times I've dreamt about this." Ryan reached down to unbutton his shirt before Calleigh's hand stopped him. "No. Let me do this. God knows how many times I've dreamt about this." Ryan let out a nervous chuckle as she removed his shirt.

Reaching down to his waist, she pulled at the belt, releasing it from the buckle as she kissed his now naked chest. Ryan groaned from the touch of her lips. He quickly kicked his shoes off as Calleigh was now starting to unzip his pants. Ryan walked backwards onto the bed so he could pull his pants off. Calleigh leaned down to kiss him deeply. As she kissed him, she reached out with her hands and pulled his underwear down. She then placed her hand on the shaft of his penis. The touch of her hand made Ryan gasp loudly. "Relax. Lay down." Calleigh whispered into his ear. Ryan laid his head onto the pillow and looked up at Calleigh as started to undress. She undid her cutoffs, revealing a pink pair of lacey underwear. She then pulled her shirt off and climbed onto the bed, her breasts slightly bouncing as she bent down to remove her underwear. Calleigh laid down next to Ryan, wrapping one arm across his chest and taking her free hand to his hair, running her fingers through it as Ryan's lips met hers. Calleigh could feel her heart beating faster. Ryan wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer. His breath quickened as he felt her bare breasts rub against him. He reached down and ran his hand along her backside, slightly groping one of her butt cheeks. They kissed each other passionately for a few more minutes before Calleigh lifted herself away from Ryan. "Are you ready?" "Yes," Ryan answered as Calleigh raised her right leg over and straddled him. She leaned forward on his chest to kiss him again. "I love you." "I love you too, Calleigh." She reached down and grabbed his penis, moving the head in place between her thighs. Positioning herself, she looked into Ryan's eyes as she lowered herself back down onto his lap, slowly taking him in until he was fully inside her. She gasped, from the sensation between her legs that she hadn't felt in a long time. It was a feeling she missed. She looked down at Ryan's chest, trying to compose herself. She then slowly looked up to see Ryan's reaction. His eyes were shut, as if he was trying to comprehend the sensations he himself were feeling.

"Ryan, look at me." Ryan opened his eyes slowly, looking up at Calleigh. He couldn't believe how beautiful she looked at that moment. There were so many emotions and feelings running through him at the same time that were new to him; it was all he could do to keep himself from climaxing. Calleigh gently grabbed his hands and placed them on her hips. She then placed her own hands on his chest and started lifting herself up and down on his shaft slowly. Ryan slowly pulled and pushed on her hips, meeting her rhythm, stroke by stroke. Calleigh leaned down to passionately kiss Ryan again before she started to go faster, the speed of her breathing increasing by the second. Ryan reached up and cupped her breasts with his hands, slowly squeezing them. Calleigh reacted by lifting her hands off of Ryan's chest and placing them on top of his. Suddenly, Calleigh could feel a slight tingle between her legs, starting to grow and spread. She realized she was about to climax, which startled her: she never had an orgasm with a penis inside of her before. "Oh my god," Calleigh moaned as she started to shake, her body tensing up as she let go of Ryan's hands, which were still placed on her breasts. Calleigh squeezed her eyes shut as she felt the energy in her body explode in all directions, creating waves of pleasure that engulfed her completely. She fell forward onto Ryan's chest, completely exhausted, tears running down her face as she sobbed. Ryan became alarmed. "Cal? Are you ok?" He lifted her head up and wiped away the tears. Calleigh composed herself. "I'm fine," she whispered, before slowly kissing him. "The emotion is too much for me sometimes." She slowly sat up, with Ryan still inside of her. She pulled herself off of him and rolled over. "Come here." Calleigh pulled Ryan on top of her as they kissed. He reached down and slowly inserted himself back into Calleigh as she wrapped her arms around his back. Their tongues darted in and out of each other's mouth as Ryan started to thrust faster and faster. The sensation of her wet heat finally overtook his control and he moved his head away from her mouth and buried his face in her neck as his body shuddered, releasing himself inside of her, holding her tightly as he climaxed.

After his body relaxed, he raised his head to look at Calleigh. She looked into his eyes with a twinkle. "How was it for you?" She couldn't resist asking. He kissed her deeply. "I never felt this good before in my life," he replied as he rolled off of Calleigh to lie on his back. He reached over to pull her closer to him. "Was I ok?" "You were more than ok. You were wonderful." Calleigh answered as she placed her head on his chest and hugged him. Ryan kissed the top of her head. "I really can't even describe what I'm feeling, Cal…it's like…wow." Calleigh giggled at his comment. "I feel so happy that you enjoyed it, Ryan." She paused for a moment. "Thank you." "Thank you? What do you mean?" Ryan was confused over Calleigh's remark. Calleigh looked up at Ryan. "For letting me be your first. It meant a lot to me that I'm the one you gave your virginity to." "Well, it's not that I was trying real hard to give it away," Ryan replied as he stroked her hair. "I just wasn't going to give to somebody I didn't have feelings for. And I'm glad that you were 'the one', because I just couldn't see myself giving it to someone else. I really love you with all of my heart." Calleigh could feel tears coming to her eyes again. She lifted herself up to Ryan's face to kiss him. "I love you too, Ryan." They kissed passionately, before Ryan stopped. "What is it?" Calleigh asked. "You never did tell me what you made for dessert." Ryan said as he tried to maintain a serious look. "What?" Calleigh reached over and grabbed her pillow, swinging it back over into Ryan's face. Ryan started laughing. "Calm down, Cal. I'm just playing with you." "I know." Calleigh said in a joking voice as she realized that she was getting sleepy. She snuggled back down onto Ryan's chest. They laid there quietly for a few minutes before Calleigh spoke again. "I think I could lie here forever," she whispered as she yawned. "Couldn't you?" The only answer Calleigh heard from Ryan was his breathing being slow and steady. She looked up and realized that he was asleep. "I think I'll join you handsome," she thought to herself as she reached down and pulled the sheets up. She smiled as she fell asleep with Ryan's arms wrapped around her and feeling his heart beating slowly in his chest.
