6—First Secret Meeting

Holding her close in his arms, Ethan breathes in the scent of Theresa's hair. God, Theresa, I do love you…more than my next breath… Sighing, he pulls back slowly, taking Theresa's face into his hands.

"Are you sure about this?"

Nodding her head, Theresa smiles. "Yes. I want to be with you, Ethan, only you."

"Okay. Are you busy tonight?"

"No."

"Okay. Meet me at our beach, the one where we made love the first time…"

"I remember." Theresa says, smiling at Ethan. Smiling back, Ethan kisses Theresa's forehead. "Alright. I'll see you there around 9."

With that Ethan kisses Theresa lightly on the lips, and then leaves her bedroom, leaving her to her thoughts. I know I'm committing a sin with Ethan, but I don't care. I'll do whatever it takes to be with him forever, even if I have to see him in secret to do it.

With that thought in mind, Theresa gets off the bed, and begins to pack a small bag for her night. Hearing the door knock, Theresa raises her head. "Come in."

When the door opens, Pilar walks in and looks at the small bag on Theresa's bag. "Theresita, where are you going at this late hour?"

"Mama, it's only 8 o'clock. I'm just going out for a while to breathe and relax." Theresa says, not wanting to reveal any more secrets.

"And the kids?"

"Jane is with her nanny, Little Ethan is sleeping over a friend's house tonight."

"Well, oddly enough, I saw Ethan leaving the house just now as well with a small bag. What's going on, Theresa? You're not going to follow him are you, mi hija?"

I have got to keep this under wraps. Theresa thinks to herself, before continuing. "No, mama, I didn't even know Ethan was going out tonight. I'm just going to go relax on the beach, and think about things. God, mama, I'm sorry to be lying to you, but I have to do this.

"Alright, well be careful."

"I will, mama, I promise."

With that, Pilar kisses Theresa's cheek, and then leaves her room. Finally. Theresa thinks to herself, as she grabs her cell phone, seeing a text message appear. Opening her inbox, Theresa smiles as she sees the words displayed: "I can't wait for tonight."

Looking up, Theresa's gaze meets Ethan's picture next to her bed. I can't wait either, Ethan. She thinks to herself. Gathering her things, Theresa walks out of her bedroom, looking both ways to make sure that no one is watching her, and then goes and leaves the mansion to get in her car.

On the way to the beach, Theresa turns on her radio in time to hear the announcer say, "A special dedication is sent out to Theresa from her secret admirer. Theresa, if you're listening, this person wants you to know how much he loves you, and he can't wait to be with you tonight." With that, the deejay plays Ethan and Theresa's song Kiss Me. Hearing the lyrics pour through the radio, Theresa smiles. Just a few more minutes, Ethan, and we will be together.

Pulling up to the beach, Theresa sighs when she doesn't spot Ethan's car. Maybe he's just stuck in traffic or something. She says to herself as she gets out of the car, grabbing her bag form the back seat. Walking down to the beach, Theresa stops walking when she spots the fire, rose petals and blanket spread near the water. Smiling, she hurries her steps, getting closer to the romantic setting.

As she stands in front of the blanket, she feels a warm pair of arms wrap around her, sighing as she breathes in Ethan's scent. "Hi." He says, lightly kissing her neck.

"I thought you weren't coming. I didn't see your car." Theresa confesses, relaxing into Ethan's touch.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I parked on the other side of the beach." Turning her in his arms, Ethan takes Theresa's face into his hands. "I wanted to be here more than I can express."

"I'm glad. Thank you for the song, it was beautiful."

"You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it." He says, kissing her gently on the lips.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He whispers, rubbing her arms gently up and down.

"Yes, I'm sure. I want to be with you, Ethan, and I'll take whatever I can get."

"Alright, I won't ask anymore." With that, Ethan pulls Theresa toward the edge of the water slowly.

"I don't have a swimsuit with me."

"It's alright, we're just going to let the water run over our feet while we dance under the stars and moon."

"I never knew you were this romantic."

Looking into Theresa's eyes, Ethan smiles. "I wanted to make this night as special as I could."

"What about Gwen…won't she wonder where you are?"

Putting a finger to her lips, Ethan silences her. "I don't want to talk about Gwen, or about what's right and wrong. All I want to focus on right now is you, and us."

With that, Ethan leans down, capturing Theresa's ripe lips under his own, sighing as he feels the completion that only Theresa can bring him.

Moving slowly with her, Ethan stands next to the fire, pulling his lips slowly away from Theresa. "You're so beautiful." He says huskily, shivering inside with the longing and wanting he has for Theresa.

"I love you, Ethan."

"And I love you, Theresa."

God, how I never thought I'd say those words again. Ethan thinks to himself as he stares into Theresa's eyes, running his hands up Theresa's arms, taking a hold of the straps on her dress, and bringing them slowly down her arms, watching her eyes as the pleasure she feels washes over her.

Moving her hands up his arms, Theresa smiles as she slowly unbuttons Ethan's shirt, sighing as his muscled chest peeks out from under his shirt. Looking into Ethan's eyes and seeing the fire burning behind his pupils, Theresa leans up to kiss him slowly, continuing to discard his clothing.

Once both are naked, Ethan takes Theresa into his arms, sighing in completion as he lays her gently down on a blanket.

"Are you sure, Theresa?" Ethan whispers in her ear, kissing her earlobe slowly.

"Yes, Ethan. I want you. Make love to me, please.." Theresa moans out, feeling the love she has for Ethan bloom even more.

Lifting himself up on his arms, Ethan stares down at Theresa's face, falling more in love with her. Moving slowly, Ethan lets his body enter Theresa's slowly, letting her readjust to his size.

"God, Ethan, it's been so long…" Theresa says on a sigh. "I know, baby, I know. I'm so sorry…so sorry…" Ethan says, kissing Theresa again."

Looking up into his eyes, Theresa shakes her head. "No, don't be sorry. This is right, I know it. I love you, Ethan, and I know you love me."

Nodding his head, Ethan smiles. "Yes, this is right. I love you, Theresa, I never stopped."

As they continue to make love, Ethan sighs as he feels his passion meet Theresa's, feeling the completion he's longed for. Holding her body close to his, Ethan sighs. "Thank you, baby..thank you…" He says, kissing her forehead slowly.
