Chapter 12

A/N: Making love finally

Sorry readers I have been at the farm the last 10 days tending to new animal arrivals. We have a set of triplet goats, a new miniature pony and a new bull calf. I will be in Alaska for 2 weeks with spotty internet so I will post a new chapter when or if I get it edited. If not I will post when I get home week of the 6th. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

A/N Here is the chapter some of you have been waiting for.

Benjamin woke with the sun shining brightly through the cracks of the curtains. It took him a few minutes to figure out why the sun was shining in his face since his room was on the west side of the cabin. He was soon reminded of why when he felt the warm body laid over his chest. Suzanne was snuggled up to his body and had her head tucked into his shoulder like it was made for it. Her arm was slung across his chest and her hand was laying on his heart. A joyous smile crossed his lips. He used his hand to slowly push her hair out of his face and get a look at her peacefully sleeping face. He decided this is the exact way I want to wake up for the rest of my life.

He placed a gentle kiss on her shoulder, not wanting to wake her.

Suzanne was in the middle of a dream and a smile slowly graced her lips. She was dreaming that she was snuggled into Benjamin's arms in bed and he was kissing her.

Benjamin saw her lips turn into a smile and he wondered what she was dreaming about. He tightened his arms around her and was content to just lay in her grasp forever. He decided to let her sleep and see if he could drift back also. There was no hurry for them to get up.

Several hours later, Suzanne opened her eyes slowly wondering what the wonderful warmth was under her cheek. She realized it was Benjamin's chest and a smile came to her lips.

She laid on his chest recalling the dream she had just before she woke up.

Suzanne and her Mom were on the train to New York. She was lost in deep thought about Benjamin and their relationship. She was smiling to herself daydreaming about them making love. Her Mom was looking at her and wondered about the smile on her daughter's face. Usually a smile like that was reserved for someone special or something sneaky. Suzanne was not one for sneaky so she surmised someone special.

"Suzanne, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Ellen asked.

Brought out of her daydreaming by her Mom's question, she sat quietly for a moment trying to decide how to talk to her Mom about making love with Benjamin. She decided to just grab the bull by the horns and ask.

"How will I know when I am ready for the physical side of a relationship?" Suzanne asked, unsure if she was ready for the answer.

"Suzanne, I will tell you how I knew, but you have to understand that every relationship is different. What you Dad and I have will be different from you and Benjamin. It was a very different time and most young men were going off to War World II. You Dad and I had been together for a little while and I decided that I would not let him go without knowing the true extent of my love. It turns out it was a good thing, because you were a result of that love," she said smiling at Suzanne.

"I don't want to do it just because that is what is expected in a relationship. I want it to be something that we mutually agree on and both are ready for," Suzanne said.

"Sounds like you are ready, you just need to understand what the consequences could be and be careful. You also need to talk to each other and see if this is what you both want. I want you of course to wait until you are married, but I am not a prude and I know young people today don't wait. Just make sure it is not something you will regret later," Ellen told her.

Suzanne sat back in her seat and thought long and hard about her Mom's words and she decided that she and Benjamin would need to have the talk at some point during her visit.

She was still in her head recalling the conversation and didn't see Benjamin had his eyes open and was looking at her. He could tell that she was deep in thought he had seen that look a lot when they would study together. He decided to pull her out of her thoughts and brushed his hand down her hair that was spread across his chest.

She pulled herself out and raised her head to look at him. Smiling at him she said, "Good morning love, how did you sleep?"

With his voice all gravely and sexy from sleep he said, "Best sleep I have ever had. I dreamed all night of a gorgeous blond sleeping curled up to me and it was the best dream ever. Then I woke up and realized it was real and not a dream."

She smiled up at him and raised to join their lips. It was supposed to be a quick peck, but he pulled her into the kiss deeper.

He rolled her over onto her back and slid her under him, deepening the kiss further. Both needing air, they pulled from each other smiling. The moment was right for both of them and they knew it.

Benjamin raised up and she helped him pull off his shirt. She raised her hands to his chest, he was in very good shape and her mouth started to drool from the sight of him. He moved back down and took her lips with his again. Moving his hands down to the hem of her shirt, he slowly started pulling it up to remove it. She raised up and helped him pull it off of her. He tossed it over his head and she laughed. He looked down at her with a smoldering look and she nodded her head at him to tell him to continue.

He raised up his knees and lowered her pajama bottoms leaving her in only a pair of racy red underwear that left little to the imagination. His desire for her was very evident in his pajama pants. He lowered them and tossed both of their bottoms off the bed.

She raised her arms to pull him to her and joined their lips once again. They were both pulled into the love they felt for one another and desire took over.

Suzanne was once again laid across his chest with a very satisfied smile on her face as she tried to regain her breath and lower her heart rate.

Benjamin was holding her to him as tight as he could, also trying to regain his breath. They were laying in a tangle of sheets and basking in their post love making.

He was running his hands up and down her back enjoying the feel of her in his arms. He had a smile on his face as he leaned down to place a soft kiss on the top of her head. He was happier than he had ever been, but wanted to make sure that he had not hurt her at any time.

"Sweetheart, are you okay, did I hurt you at any time?" he asked her hoping he did not. He had observed her grimace when he had entered her and it broke his heart to know he caused her pain.

"Benjamin, it was a little painful at first, but that didn't last for very long. I think all the years riding horses took care of part of that for us. It was the most beautiful magical thing that has happened in my life, second only to meeting you," she told him with a smile on her face.

"I am truly happy and love you so much. Maybe you should take a shower and clean up, then we can get some food. We can go for a swim later if you want to."

She nodded and rose to go to the bathroom. Benjamin got up and when he did he noticed the remnants of their love making on the sheets. He did not want the housekeeper to see this so he stripped the bed and took the linens to wash them. He did not want to risk the housekeeper seeing them and possibly embarrassing Suzanne if she mentioned it to his parents.

Suzanne stepped under the hot water and let it run down her body. She discovered she was sore in some places, but it brought a smile to her face when she reflected on why she was sore. She had many dreams about how making love the first time would be, but her dreams were nothing compared to the real thing. Benjamin was a wonderful lover, so gentle and giving. He took care of her the entire time making sure she was comfortable and willing with everything they did.

She finished showering and walked into the bedroom with a towel wrapped around her and one on her hair. She expected to see Benjamin still laying in the bed, instead she saw he had removed the sheets. She smiled to herself, he is so considerate.

Benjamin walked in with clean linens and observed her in just a towel. He breath caught in his chest. She is the most beautiful thing in the whole world and she is mine, he thought.

He laid the linens down and walked over to her circling her waist with his arms. He bent down and gave her a sensual kiss that took her breath away.

"You can get dressed while I remake the bed, then we will scrounge up some food," he told her.

Dressed and the bed made, they made their way to the kitchen for food. They warmed up leftovers from the cookout and took their plates out to enjoy on the deck.

Benjamin took her hand and did not let it go the entire time. The physical connection to her was like breathing to him. He loved being close to her all the time even if it was just their hands in each other's. Her hand fit perfectly in his, just another way they were made for each other.

They spent the rest of their time at the cabin making love, learning what the other wanted and how to satisfy the other. The shower was a bit tricky but they surmised with practice they would get better.

They locked up the cabin and headed for his family home in New York City. She was excited to see all he had to show her. She had been there only once and that was when she was just a little girl. She was also looking forward to her meeting with the managing partner of the architectural firm that William had set up for her.

The drive was short and soon they were at his home. His Mom greeted them at the door and hugged them both. She led them into the kitchen to feed them and find out what their plans were for the rest of her time there.

It was a fun filled and exciting time in New York for the young couple. Benjamin took her to his favorite bakery as he had promised himself and thoroughly enjoyed her reaction to the delicies. They walked through Central Park and he took her to the Met for a show. Her meeting that William set up went very well and left her with a good feeling of a possible job.

On Sunday just after noon, they were standing in each other's arms on the train platform preparing to say goodbye. They would not see each other again until they returned to UVA for fall classes and it was hard to let each other go.

"I don't want to go, it will be a long six weeks until I see you again," she told him with tears in her eyes.

"I know sweetheart, I don't want you to go either. I love you and have truly enjoyed the time we had the last 10 days. We will be together soon and then we will see each other all the time. We just have to get through the next few weeks. I will call you as much as I can. Since I had these extra days off I will need to really buckle down for the rest of my time here to make up for them," he told her.

They called for her to board and they released each other very reluctantly. She kissed him one last time and waved goodbye as she boarded.

She found her seat and pulled out a book to try and read on the ride home. She was thinking what it would look like when they returned to campus and a smile came on her face. Would they spend much time out of bed, since they had discovered how much they enjoyed each other's loving touch and how to turn the other on with just a look?

Benjamin was driving to the office after dropping her off. He was trying to get into work mode, but was not having much success. He kept thinking back to the look on her face that morning as he made love to her as quietly as possible so as to make sure the housekeeper would not hear them Suzanne was very verbal during sex and he had to cover her mouth with his on more that one occasion. He laughed to himself as he remembered her screaming his name when she reached her peak. It gave him great joy to know he could make her come undone under him and the look of content on her face.

It would be a long six weeks, but hopefully it would go by quickly.

Sorry if you were expecting smut, but I am not comfortable writing it so I don't hope I did make it a good read and gave it the loving touch it deserved. The special touch I put in about him changing the sheets to protect her reputation made me smile, hope it does you too.
