Christmas Eve

(D)

I wake up, roll over and reach for Josh only to find out the bed empty. I opened my eyes and stretch my limbs. I look up in the door of the bathroom and see him smiling at me. "What are you doing up? Come back to bed, I'm cold, I need warmth." I say pulling the covers open for him.

"So I am only used for warmth. Huh? I feel used." He says coming back into bed. He opens his arms for me to climb into and I do. "No, you're not only used for warmth, you're also a great pillow." I say putting my head on his chest.

"Oh, I see you're funny this morning." All of a sudden, he gets up and flips me so that my back is on the bed. He takes my hands and puts them above my head. "Still feel funny Donnatella?"

"No, not anymore." I whisper

"You know I have to kiss you now right." Before I can answer him back his lips are on mine. He rolled us over so I was on top, his hands explored my body. My hands were reaching for whatever I could touch. Things were getting hotter ever second. Josh pulls away from what I say the best kiss I have ever had, looks straight into my eyes and says. "Donna, I was going to wait until tonight to tell you this, but I can't hold this anymore." He pauses as I think 'OH GOD WHAT"S HAPPENING?' "When you first stepped into my life, you took control. Not only my work place, but also my heart. When I'm with you and we're just Josh and Donna, not boss and assistant, nothing else matters except you. What I am trying to say, I hope that I'm not screwing this up now, is that I love you Donnatella Moss with all my heart. I love how I can I have the worst day and I can just see you smile and the day gets better. I love how… when you get excited about something and your whole face just lights up, and I how you let me rant about something and instead of yelling at me, you just listen to me. I love you and I am going to tell everyday." By the time he ends this I'm crying and I can't stop. I'm so happy right now all I can think of is that how I got so lucky. "Donna? Are you okay? I had to tell you. You don't have to say it back, if you don't feel it. I don't want to pressure you or anything." He says wiping my tears off my face, but they just kept coming. He sits up pulling me with him. He sits me on his lap and rocks me back and forth. When I calm down a little, I lift my head from his shoulder and look at him.

"Hey are you okay now? You were kind of scaring me." He takes my face in his hands and wipes the remaining tears on my face.

"I'm okay, I was just so happy because now I can tell that I feel the same way. I love you Joshua Lyman with all my being-" That was all I could get out before Josh attacked me.

I am the HAPPIEST man in the world right now. I have dreamt of this happening, but never thought it would happen. Ever since she walked into my life, she has made my life happy. I wake up every morning wondering how I got this beautiful, intelligent, kind, and caring woman to be with me. I think, when will other shoe falls? Will I wake one morning find that this was just a dream?I guess everyone does that when a good thing happens to them. Right now, I am kissing Donna Moss and I could keep doing this for the rest of my life. Oh god, she moaned, and now my body is reacting to this. This is bad because I don't know if Donna wants what I want and my body REALLY wants it right now. I pull out of what I have say a very steamy kiss, I put my hands on either sides of her face.

"Donna, I have you ask a question, and I don't want you to be pressured or anything. Okay?" she nods her head. "Okay, um… see I really want to make love to you, I understand, if you don't-" That was all I could get out before Donna kissed me with her all of energy, I was a little shocked and as I was about to kiss her back, she stopped.

"Josh, I love you and I want to go the new level of our relationship. But,before you were in my life, I didn't know what real love was. Now, as I think back, I never really made love it was mostly just plain sex. I wanted the first time that I make love to be with the man I love the most. So your answer to your question is yes, make love to me, Josh." The last part she whispered into my ear and when she finished she started nibbling on it. Can I just say that I love that? I put my arms around her and rolled her over so that she was on the bottom. The need for oxygen is coming in desperate. So I pull out and asked breathless. "Are you sure?" I asked unsure.

"Definitely" She doesn't have to tell me twice.

(D)

Josh starts kissing my collarbone, going between feather kisses to making feel like I will have a hickey on my throat and after he does the hickey kiss he blows on it. This is making me shiver. All of a sudden, I feel one of his hands under my shirt in the back. He backs up and looks straight into my eyes and we both come to understanding without even talking. He pulls up my shirt over my head and I hear a sharp intake of air. "God Donna, you know that your beautiful right." He leans down and gives me a deep kiss. I bring my hands up his back taking his shirt with them. As the shirt gets close to his head, he leans back and takes it off. I put my hand on his chest and slid it down to where his the top of his boxers are. He takes my hand and puts it over his heart and holds it there with his hand. "Do you feel my heart beat? It beats for you and you only. I love you so much it hurts, I can't begin to describe it and I will always love you ,Donnatella Moss don't you every forget that. Okay?" Tears fall down my face because this man has made me so happy. He wipes my tears and kisses the remaining ones. When he is not paying attention to my hands and my legs, I wrapped them both around him and turned him over, so I am on top.

"Oh, I see that you don't only like being in control of me at the office, but in bed too, well I must say I like it." Josh says with a teasing smile.

I gave him a half-hearted glare. "I'm bossy yeah? So I guess you don't want to know where all your files are huh?" I start to tickle him. He's moving all around trying to get away from me, but I'm on top of him so he's not going any where. "Say uncle." "UNCLE!" I laugh at him as he catches his breath. When we both get control of ourselves, I lean down and start to kiss a trial down his chest. I stop at his left nipple and tease it. I lick and bite it until he starts to moan, not wanting to leave his right one lonely I

Do the same to it while Josh starts to do this little growl thing, that's so cute and arousing.

An Hour Later

(J)

WOW, I never had made love to a woman like that before. It was so passionate; god I'm starting to sound like a woman. I don't think I can love Donna more then I do right this minute.

"Wow that was, well I don't think there are words to fit how that was."

"The great Joshua Lyman cannot think of a word? Wow, do you have a fever?" The love of my life is mocking, but it's okay because she's on her side facing me. Her blanket that was covering her body is falling and I'm getting, what I must say, a great view.

"Josh, are you there? Are you listening to me? Because you seem very distracted, is it because of this!" she covers herself

"Why did you do that? I was having a great moment right there, I 'really' liked what I saw." I reached out to grab the blanket.

"Stop, we have to take a shower and get dressed. My parents are probably up and making breakfast. After that, we are going to my Aunt's house for Christmas lunch. So we have to get a move on." She gets out of the bed and grabs her robe.

"Donna, I don't want to get out of bed today?" I roll over and put my face into a pillow.

"Get your butt up and out of bed." She says going towards her suitcase.

"I'll get up when you get out of the shower." I put my hands behind my head and look at Donna. She turns around and gives me a pout. Uh oh what did I do wrong?

"And here, I thought you wanted to 'help' me in the shower. Oh, well guess I have to do it all by myself." She walks towards our connecting bathroom. I jump out the bed so quickly that I get tangled in the bed sheets and fall on the floor. I hear laughter coming close to me, I know that I still have on my boxers, so I look up and see Donna laughing so hard she's holding her stomach.

I get up quickly and go to her. "So instead of seeing if I was okay, you laugh at me huh?", she can't talk because she's laughing, so she just nods her head. "Really?" I pick her up into my arms, my arms around her waist and legs, when I do this she give me a surprise squeak. "Still laughing, Donnatella?" I lean into her face. "Nope, I don't hear any laughing ,do you?" I don't answer I just kiss her as I walk us into the bathroom and shut the door with my foot. This is the best morning of my life because this morning was the first time I woke up to the woman I love, who just so happens loves me back.
