Sorry for the slight delay in posting - problems with my internet provider but all sorted now. An extra long chapter as compensation. I have included a part that is probably M rated. It is clearly marked if this is not your thing and you will still understand the story.
Thanks for sticking with it. Two more chapters after this one which should be posted shortly.
The owners of the venue were keen to get home and as soon as the song ended, the lights were turned on. Unfortunately, this was before Steve and Kate's lips met and completely broke the spell of the moment.
"Fuck!" Kate heard Steve mutter at the intrusion. Half of which was in surprise at the sudden glaring brightness in the room which caused him to screw his eyes up in protest. The other half was in frustration at not making his move sooner so their kiss didn't happen.
"Guess the party's over," Kate said, also frustrated that she hadn't been able to kiss Steve.
The sudden end to the evening appeared to have been a surprise to all the couples on the floor who gradually made their way to their belongings, realising the evening had ended.
Kate and Steve were met by Steve's parents as they headed off the dance floor. "How long have you been able to walk unaided?" Linda asked her son. It had been a very pleasant surprise to see Steve walking by himself.
"Not long," Steve replied. "Wanted to surprise you and Kate,".
"You didn't know?" Linda asked Kate.
"No. It was as much a surprise to me as it was to you,".
"Didn't know you could dance either," Linda noted of her son.
"He's been practising with the physio apparently in preparation for this evening," Kate took great delight in informing Linda and embarrassing Steve.
"Really. Is that so?" She answered. "I would have liked to have seen that,".
"Have you got a phone number for the taxi company?" Steve asked, changing topics and not letting his mothers teasing get to him.
His dad came to the rescue and Steve was soon on the phone booking them some transport back to the inn. "Five minutes," Steve informed Kate and his parents as he hung up.
"Lovely," said Kate as she put her coat on that Pete had just retrieved for her.
"Would you mind helping us get our presents to the car in the meantime?" Pete asked.
"No problem. I'll help, Steve, you just sort them," Kate said before helping pick some brightly coloured boxes up and following Pete to their car.
Steve did as Kate instructed with one arm. The other was back in his crutch after promising Dan he would only be without the aid for one dance.
"You and Kate looked like you had a nice evening," Linda mentioned as she helped her son.
"Yes we did," Steve replied. He wasn't going to give his mother any more information or it would be the topic of conversation amongst her friends in the coming days.
"Is the B&B ok?" Linda checked as Kate and Pete reappeared ready to collect some more boxes.
"It's lovely," Kate replied, having heard the question.
"Oh good," Linda said relieved. She hadn't visited the place herself but had been recommended it by someone she knew.
"Hope it means the breakfast will be good," Kate continued over her shoulder as she made her second trip to Steve's parents car.
"You still ok to come to ours tomorrow?" Linda checked.
"Of course," Steve replied this time. "We'll probably head home about 4,".
"Great," Linda answered. "Right have I got everything?" she asked rhetorically as she looked around. She didn't see anything she had missed. "You alright to get to the car, dad?" she asked Wilf.
"Yes Linda," Wilf replied as he got to his feet shakily. Linda offered him an arm for support. Steve accompanied them as they left the room.
"Taxi's here," Kate informed Steve as she stuck her head in the room again.
"You go on," Linda told Steve. "We'll see the pair of you tomorrow,".
"Thanks mum," Steve said as he kissed her on the cheek and followed Kate to the waiting car.
"Hope you had a good time and it wasn't too painful for you," Steve said as they stood outside Kate's room back at the guest house.
"Your family are great," Kate informed Steve. "I love them all, especially your granddad," she continued.
"I'm glad," Steve replied. They stood in awkward silence for a bit not sure what to do next. 'Night, Kate," Steve eventually said as he kissed her on the cheek before he departed.
"Night," Kate replied before entering her room and closing the door. She sighed a little in frustration as she walked over to her bed where her suitcase was lying. It wasn't quite how she hoped the evening would end.
She had put a lot of preparation in to the weekend. She had waxed and shaved everything that needed to be. Lying on the top of her suitcase were her silk pyjamas. Steve's favourites.
She sighed as she slowly changed in to them and went to the bathroom to take her make up off. Having done that Kate made her way back to the single bed and removed the suitcase and placed it on the floor. Two small boxes with the Durex brand taunted her. Yes, she'd even packed some contraception just in case. That looked like it had been a waste of money she thought as she crawled under the duvet.
Kate lay staring at the ceiling. The evening had been great and they had nearly had another kiss. Things had been going good until the music stopped. She was sure Steve felt it as well. And then all he had done was give her a peck on the cheek.
She was going to have take charge she realised. If you wanted something done then get a woman to do it was the saying, wasn't it?
Deciding to strike before she changed her mind, Kate headed out her room, taking the two Durex boxes with her. She cast a quick look down the corridor each way before scuttling to Steve's room, hoping no one came along. The last thing she wanted was for someone to see her making this late night dash.
"Steve?" she called as loud as she dare whilst knocking on the door, hoping he wasn't asleep. Luckily she heard a bit of rustling and movement before Steve opened the door dressed in a T-shirt and his boxer briefs. He noted Kate in his favourite pyjamas and smiled. "Can I come in?".
Steve moved away from the door allowing Kate to enter. "Something wrong?" He asked once she had closed the door behind her.
"Sort of," Kate replied as she stood in front of Steve. "Not completely happy with how the evening ended," she admitted.
Steve knew what she was hinting at. He felt the same way. "How did you want it to end?" He asked, letting her continue to take the lead.
"Maybe I didn't want it to end at all," she mentioned as she took a step closer to him.
"If only Elvis hadn't been cut off quite so abruptly," Steve murmured.
"Yeah," Kate said as she took another step.
"Did you notice what he was singing about?" Steve asked and Kate nodded as she closed the gap between them still further. "I thought he was eloquently talking about my own feelings," Steve declared, his mouth feeling quite dry with nervousness. "I can't help it but I've fallen in love you, Kate," he admitted for the first time.
Kate smiled as she heard his words. "I love you too, Steve," she echoed.
Steve smiled as his heart burst with happiness at her words. He couldn't believe she felt the same way. Dan had been right. It was the best thing he had ever done to admit how he felt. "I'd like to see if I can show you how I feel instead of just words,".
"I'd like that," Kate agreed. "I've come prepared," she said as Steve saw the two boxes in her hands.
"I'm not promising that it will be a success, but I want to give it a try," he warned her as he framed her face in his hands.
"Me too," Kate was able to reply before Steve claimed her lips in a kiss.
*************RATED M**********************
It was a demanding kiss from the outset, seeking entry to Kate's mouth immediately. She was only too happy to comply, granting his request as she dropped the boxes she was carrying and wrapped her arms around Steve's neck.
Steve's hands weren't idle either and as the kiss continued, they found her skin under her loose pyjama top. He revelled in the softness of it against his fingertips as they wound their way higher until they reached her breasts. The very ones that had occupied his thoughts since his birthday.
Steve heard her gasp as he ran his fingers over her nipples, feeling them react immediately. He pulled away from Kate's mouth. "You ok?" He muttered.
"Yeah," she confirmed with a nod. It was all Steve needed to hear before resuming his kissing and touching.
Wanting to see as well as touch her, Steve began to undo the buttons on her top. He was a bit slower than usual as his hands were slightly shaking in anticipation of what was going to happen next.
Eventually all the buttons were unthreaded and Steve could peel the top away from Kate's torso, leaving her naked from the waist up. "Shit," he couldn't help but mutter as he took a step back and beheld the sight before him. She was even more beautiful than he had imagined.
"You ok?" Kate asked. It was her turn now to check on Steve.
"Yeah," Steve replied. "Just can't believe we are finally doing this," he explained as he stepped back in to Kate's arms. He explored her skin with his lips this time, travelling down her neck, across her collar bone before travelling down to her breast where he started to suckle.
Jesus, Steve," Kate uttered as she felt him nip at the sensitive bud, feeling the heat start to gather between her thighs. She felt Steve smile against her breast, knowing he had been successful in eliciting a powerful response to his teasing.
Kate responded by trying to remove Steve's T-shirt. Pulling at the hem, she dragged the material upwards, revealing his torso to her eyes once again. The material reached his neck and Steve had to remove his mouth from Kate's breast so she could finally divest him of the garment.
They stood looking at each other's chests a moment before resuming their kissing. Kate felt Steve's arousal start to harden against her thigh drawing her attention to his lower half and her hands moved to remove his underwear. Steve followed suit and started tugging at Kate's pyjama bottoms before removing her lacy underwear as well.
With them both now completely naked Steve moved to the bed, flipping back the duvet before taking a seat on the mattress. He managed to grasp one of Kate's hands and tug her closer to him.
Kate let herself be pulled towards him and taking his lead, straddled his lap. "How do you wanna do this?" she muttered before starting an exploration of Steve's neck with her lips, his beard tickling her skin as she moved upwards towards his lips. "The leaflets you gave me suggested me on top. Or spooning. Takes the strain off your back," Kate explained.
"I'll be fine with the good old fashioned way," Steve said, brushing off Kate's concerns. "I did the plank with Dan for over three minutes the other day," he boasted.
Kate smiled at Steve's words. "Oh well then, we should be fine," she agreed. "Three minutes should be plenty of time," she teased.
Steve flopped back on to the bed, taking Kate with him, who yelped in surprise at his sudden movement. "You giving me a bit of cheek, Kate?" he asked as he rolled them over so he was now on top of Kate.
"Wouldn't dream of it," she replied.
"Good," Steve said as he helped her to move up the bed so she was resting on a pillow. Steve lay beside her and pulled the duvet over them to keep them warm. "I hope it does last longer than three minutes," he said, worried now at her comment. He usually would last longer than that, but this being his first time after the accident, he had no idea.
Kate realised it had been a stupid thing to say. "Hey," she said as she gently stroked his face tenderly. "Whatever happens, happens, ok?" she said. "Treat this as a fact finding mission. See exactly what you can and can't do," she suggested.
Steve agreed and felt some pressure to perform leave him. They resumed their kissing to try and reignite their arousal after it had dipped a bit. Steve took the opportunity to explore the whole of her body with his lips, moving under the covers to do so. It wasn't long before he was retracing his movements northwards until he came to rest between Kate's thighs and she felt his erection poking her in the abdomen.
Kate looked around the room wondering where the box of condoms were after she had dropped them. She spied them on the floor some distance from the bed. Not the best position. One of them was going to have to leave the bed to retrieve them.
Steve saw what she was looking at. "I brought some as well," Steve admitted, before reaching for the drawer in the bedside table. He had come prepared like Kate, hoping that sex might finally be on the cards for them.
He pulled out a similar branded box although Kate saw the words 'Extended Pleasure' across it.
"I'm hoping it will be longer than three minutes but I don't want this to be the disaster my very first time was," Steve said. That had barely lasted thirty seconds.
"Your mum didn't tell me that embarrassing story when you were in the hospital," Kate teased.
"Very funny," Steve bantered back. It wasn't something he wanted to dwell on right now. He opened the box and retrieved a foil packet before placing the box back on the side table.
Shifting to kneel between Kate's legs he opened the packet carefully before rolling the condom over his length and settling back over Kate.
"You sure your back is going to be ok with this?" Kate checked once more.
"Yes," Steve reiterated.
"You'll let me know if it's not, won't you? I don't want you ruining your hard work for nothing," Kate warned.
"I will. I promise," Steve said as he rubbed his tip against her warm entrance. "Besides, this won't be for nothing,". Very gently he entered her, taking his time until he was completely sheathed within her.
"You ok?" he asked once he came to rest against her pelvis. She felt very tight.
"Yep," Kate said. "Just been a while. You ok? Your back alright?".
"Good," Steve confirmed. He started to move his hips slowly.
It was a little awkward at first with Steve and Kate trying to learn each other's rhythm. Any little moan or groan and they stopped rocking and were checking that the other was ok. Eventually Kate stopped.
"Steve can we just relax?" she suggested. "I think we have established we are both ok and enjoying this," she continued.
Steve agreed. Neither was going to reach any sort of satisfaction with all this stopping and starting. "Ok," he agreed before moving his hips again. His slow tempo gradually quickened and the depth of his thrusts increased until he was sliding his whole length easily in and out of Kate. "Oh god, Kate," he groaned as he felt his impending climax approach. He had lasted longer than he had thought but was aware Kate hadn't reached her peak as he spilt his seed into the condom.
"Sorry," he panted as he tried to control his heart and respiratory rate after his high.
"It's fine," Kate said. It had gone far better than she had thought it might and had nearly reached orgasm herself. Not bad for a first attempt. Mark had rarely succeeded in getting her to climax during their time together.
Feeling himself start to soften, Steve reached for the base of the condom before he carefully withdrew from Kate. He removed the condom before tying a knot in it. Spying a bin in the corner of the room he wrapped the used prophylactic in a tissue and hurled it at the receptacle.
"Steve!" Kate scolded as she watched the tissue fly through the air. It landed without a problem in the bin.
"He shoots! He scores!" Steve boasted.
"You would have been getting out of bed to get that if it hadn't gone in," Kate informed him. Steve kissed her lips to shut her up. He wasn't finished with her yet. As Steve kissed Kate he took his weight in one arm and allowed his other hand to find the sensitive bud between her legs. "Steve!" Kate gasped as she tensed when he started to rub it.
"I got a nice ending to the night. Only fair you do as well," Steve informed Kate. "Just relax and enjoy it," he muttered as he continued to massage the sensitive spot.
"Oh god," Kate groaned as she felt her hips start to move in time with Steve's ministrations. He was good at this. Her breathing deepened and she couldn't help the moans and groans that escaped from her lips as he continued. She felt her lower abdomen start to tighten as her climax approached. "Steve!" she said as she roughly reached for him and kissed him as she exploded and saw stars. His mouth hiding her loud groan of ecstasy.
"You good?" Steve asked as she released his mouth.
"Yeah," Kate said as they snuggled under the covers together. "Your back ok?".
"Never better," Steve confirmed as he gathered her in to his embrace and settled her against him. "Love you," he whispered.
"Love you, too," Kate whispered back.
Content and exhausted it didn't take long for the new lovers to fall asleep.
Dawn was breaking and a grey light filling the room when Steve awoke. Kate was still peacefully sleeping beside him and he was amazed to realise that last night hadn't been a dream. They had finally crossed the line from friends to lovers.
He sidled up behind Kate's warm, naked body and circled his arms around her waist, bringing her flush against him. She murmured a little at being disturbed from her slumber but didn't wake completely.
It wasn't the outcome Steve wanted and he lovingly nuzzled her exposed neck, placing open mouthed kisses along it. He knew it was selfish of him to wake her up but having finally discovered the delights of her body last night, he wanted her again. There was a lot of wasted time to make up for.
"Morning," he whispered once she had opened her eyes.
"Morning," Kate yawned, sounding still half asleep as she stretched before returning to her original position. She became aware of Steve's arousal poking her in the back this time and his gentle groping of her breasts as she slowly became more conscious. "What time is it?" she asked, noting the room was still fairly dark. It couldn't be time to get up yet, surely?
"Half six," was Steve's reply.
"Why are you awake at half past six on a Sunday?" Kate asked as she shut her eyes. There was plenty of time for a bit more sleep before they had to get up for breakfast.
"I'm in bed with a naked woman who I am mad about. Far too excited to sleep,".
"I can tell," Kate replied as she shifted slightly, grazing Steve's erection as she did. He sucked his breath in in response before giving her breast a firm squeeze. If she could tease him then he could do the same. "You are a pest. Anyone ever tell you that?" Kate asked as she rolled on to her back, giving up on trying to get any more sleep for the time being.
"A loveable pest though," Steve amended before kissing Kate good morning on the lips. It soon progressed to being very heated and Steve once again settled himself between Kate's thighs.
"You wanna go again?" Kate checked.
"What gave it away?".
Instead of replying, Kate reached over for the box of condoms that was still lying on the table where Steve had left it the previous night. She retrieved a packet and gave it to Steve who moved to sheath himself.
As he did so Kate remembered something, and took advantage of not being pinned to the bed. She hopped out and moved to the door.
"Where're you going?" Steve asked, concerned that Kate was leaving the bed at this stage of their foreplay.
"Want to try something?" Kate asked as she retrieved one of the boxes that she had brought with her last night, from the floor. She handed it to Steve. It was a cock ring.
"Didn't you enjoy last night?" Steve asked a little deflated. No woman he had been with had ever felt the need to try one of these before.
"Of course I did," Kate corrected as she jumped back in to bed, pleased to be back under the warm covers. "The leaflets just suggested them, that's all. If you don't want to try it, that's fine," she explained. Steve took the ring out of the box and examined it suspiciously. "Makes you harder for longer," Kate continued. "And I chose one that vibrates for both our pleasure," she added.
Steve's interest was piqued. "How do I use it?".
"Just sits at the base of the condom," Kate informed him. Before she could say anything else, Steve was slipping it on.
"Feels good," he said once it was in place. His erection quickly feeling a lot harder. He hovered over Kate before quickly sinking in to her silken depths once again. Once he was settled against her, Kate reached down and turned the ring to vibrate. Both their eyes widened in surprise at the sensations it created against the sensitive areas of their anatomy.
The previous awkwardness from last night was gone and Steve and Kate quickly established a satisfying tempo. Their uttered moans and groans of pleasure spurring them on until Steve was pounding in to Kate with all his might.
"Oh god! Don't stop!" groaned Kate as she wound her legs around Steve's waist and hung on, keeping him grinding against her with each thrust. The ring vibrating against her clitoris as he did. She could feel her orgasm quickly approaching.
"Feels so good," Steve managed to ground out as her warm tight channel caressed his penis with each stroke. "Not sure I'm going to last much longer,".
"Me neither," Kate confirmed before she felt herself go rigid and grip Steve even tighter. Her rhythmic pulses tipping Steve over the edge as he emptied himself into the waiting condom once again.
"Wow!...That was...wow," Steve muttered against Kate's chest once he had control of his basic functions again. He had collapsed on her, completely spent.
"Yeah," Kate breathlessly agreed. That had been the most intense love making she had ever participated in. "Those leaflets were very useful weren't they?".
Steve couldn't help but agree. Maybe he should have read them. "I wasn't too rough was I?" he asked, aware he had been quite forceful in his thrusts towards the end. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt Kate.
"No. You were fine," she informed him. It had been a little rough and she was probably going to be a little sore after that, but it was worth it.
Still lying on top of Kate, Steve felt himself begin to soften and knew it was time to withdraw again. Gripping the ring and condom he slowly started to pull out when he noticed something. "Shit!".
"What?" Kate asked as she raised her head off the pillow.
"Condom's split," Steve informed her as he continued withdrawing slowly. It wasn't a small tear, but a massive one that had nearly split the contraceptive in half. "Im so sorry," Steve apologised.
"Not your fault," Kate said. "I suggested the ring and it probably tore the condom,".
"I was too rough,' Steve berated himself.
"You weren't," she reiterated. "Anyway, it's no big deal. I'll just go to the pharmacy tomorrow and get the morning after pill,"
"Sorry," Steve apologised again.
"It's fine. It happens," Kate said, matter of factly. "Not the first time I've had to take a pill,".
"Yeah, but even so," Steve said as he got up. :I'm still sorry," he apologised for the third time as he made his way to the bathroom, coasting along different pieces of furniture as he did so, instead of using his crutch. He was going to have to clean himself up after that coupling.
**********RATED T***************
"You think you'd be able to get in the bath?" Kate asked from the bed as Steve disappeared in to the bathroom.
"Probably," Steve said as he poked his head back round the door. "Why?".
"Maybe you could run us one to share? We can both clean ourselves up," Kate replied. She could feel semen running down her thighs by now and there was still a bit of time before they had to be up for breakfast.
It didn't take long for Kate to hear the taps being turned on and water cascading in to the bath. It looked like Steve approved of her suggestion. He appeared back in the bedroom, a cloud of steam following him as he did so.
Kate watched him from under the bed covers. She wasn't going to brave the cold room until she had too. "What're you doing?" she asked Steve as he approached the cupboard where the mini fridge was.
"Thought I saw some bubbly...," Steve uttered as he opened the cupboard door and had a look around. "Yep!" he declared as he stood back up with a small bottle of prosecco and two glasses. "We can drink this in the bath. Have a little celebration,".
"Celebrate having sex?" Kate asked.
"Well I think celebrate us becoming a couple is a nicer way of putting it," Steve corrected as he disappeared back in to the bathroom. There was a nearby ledge where he placed the bottle and glasses.
The bath was nearly full with bubbles so Steve turned the taps off and tested the water temperature. Perfect. "It's ready," Steve informed Kate. "Might need your help to get in,". He hadn't had a bath since his attack and didn't want to injure himself now.
"Coming!" answered Kate and he didn't have to wait long before she was beside him, both comfortable being completely maked with each other in the cold light of day.
Kate offered Steve a hand as he stepped in to the bath before he knelt and then sat with his back against the back of the tub. He then helped Kate in and settle between his thighs before she rested back against Steve's chest. "Comfortable?" Steve checked.
"Yep," Kate replied happily. She could stay like this forever.
Steve reached over and opened the bottle of alcohol before pouring them each a glass and handing Kate one. "To us," he said as he clinked his glass against hers.
"To us," Kate echoed as she took her first sip.
They sat in the quietness of the room, drinking their drink as the sun rose. Steve and Kate took comfort in the other's presence as the room gradually became lighter. A quick kiss here and there or a nose rub as they enjoyed their new found intimacy.
With their drinks finished, they turned their attention to washing each other with Steve paying very careful attention to Kate's breasts."We'd probably better get out," Kate reluctantly suggested as she heard other guests moving around. The water was getting fairly cool by this point as well. "I'm hungry,".
"Well we have worked up quite an appetite," Steve replied rakishly. Kate rolled her eyes at his ego.
With a swish of water, Kate managed to get herself out of the bath and wrapped herself in a large fluffy bath sheet that had been warming nicely on the radiator. She pulled the plug out of the bath before she headed in to the bedroom to dry herself off.
She heard splashes of water as Steve tried to follow suit but he never appeared behind her. "Kate, I don't think I can get out!" Steve finally admitted, worriedly. He had tried lifting himself out with his arms but it had hurt his back too much. He had tried kneeling but it was slippy and he didn't want to fall over.
Kate reappeared instantly. "What do you mean? Are you stuck?".
"I'm going to need your help,". He hated being such a liability and constantly needing Kate to look out for him.
"No problem," Kate said as she helped Steve to his feet before lending a hand to get him out the bath making sure he didn't slip and injure himself as he did.
"Sorry about that," Steve apologised as he wrapped his warm towel around his waist despondently. His grandfather probably needed less help to get out a bath than he had done just now. After such an amazing night, his ego had swiftly crashed back down to earth.
Kate saw his change in mood and knew what the problem was. This wasn't how she wanted things to end after such a lovely night together. Before Steve knew what was happening she grabbed him and gave him another kiss on the lips. "You'll soon be doing that unaided," she murmured as they pulled apart.
Steve smiled. Of course she would know what was upsetting him. "I know," he replied. "Maybe I get Dan to help me with that as well?" he jokingly suggested, pleased he could see the funny side of his predicament.
"Definitely want to see that!" Kate replied before kissing him again. They got carried away and soon Kate's towel was on the floor. "I better go before this gets out of hand," she said, stoppingSteve in his tracks. He watched disappointedly as she slipped her silk pyjamas back on.
Walking to the door she once again checked that the coast was clear before heading back to her room. "See you in a bit," she whispered before giving Steve another brief kiss and scampered off.
