She is so incredibly beautiful, I get lost in her eyes. She turns her head , kissing the palm of my hand," I love you Alex." More beautiful,honest words have never been spoken. I press my lips against hers in another soft kiss,before leaning down my cheek against hers,using every bit of strength I have to whisper,"I love YOU Paige."

We lie there for a moment holding on to each other, I feel her fingers run through my hair,each touch sends shivers down my spine.

I lean back looking into those big beautiful eyes , the intensity of this moment beyond description.

I feel her hands meet beneath the hoody and push it up a bit more the warmth of her hands,and the absolute silkiness of her touch, I instinctively lift my body a little as we're still locked in each other's gaze,and allow her to slowly, almost painfully so, lift the top up over my breasts. My body simply quivering at this moment,she tilts her head just a little ,almost as though she's looking for some reassurance that this is ok to do just now. I bite my bottom lip and nod a little as she smiles her eyes never leaving mine. I lift my arms and lean back more allowing her to completely remove my top. For the first time in a while her eyes look away, not from me , just from my face, I think I heard her gulp ,which is cute. Her hands move gently down and cup my breasts , one in each hand, I swallow hard and tremble. As intense as this whole thing has been, this is farther than we've gone, or should I just say closer than we've been. She looks back up just as I open my eyes and she actually blushes a little and opens her mouth, but words fail. She's so adorable, oh man, she looks like a kid that just got caught in the cookie jar. I smile before leaning in to kiss her sweet supple lips,though I barely have the chance. Oh she does kiss me back but then breaks away, I look a bit confused,which I am,that is until I notice her lacing her fingers through mine and guiding my hand beneath her shirt.

I hesitate,"Paige,"

"It's ok , Lex I promise."

"I just ..I don't want to ..I mean I .."Oh God she's gotten me not only defenseless and breathless but speechless. " Its just, Paige , baby ...I don't want to take any chance..I don't want to push or hurt you."

She cups my face in her hand locking her eyes on mine again," Baby,"she whispers so sweetly,"You aren't pushing, and "she places the very softest of kisses against my lips barely touching,"Alex, you can't hurt me."

I let her move my hand a little,still a bit unsure and guess it shows in my eyes,my face because she lifts her head until her forehead is against mine,"Lex, I don't want to push YOU."

"no, that's not..baby you aren't it just."

"shh. I know and I love you so much , "our fingers still laced together she takes hold of the bottom of her shirt and begins to raise it,"I just want to be as close to you as I can be. I don't want these between us," I can tell her breathing is getting MUCH more ragged." I want to feel you against me."

I slide my other hand to her waist and begin to lift her shirt,never taking my eyes off of hers, I couldn't stand myself if I went to far, did or said too much. I could never hurt Paige,I've never loved anyone before. I saw her earlier without her top but it's more amazing than ever,she is truly the most beautiful woman I have EVER seen.

"Alex,"I can barely hear her whisper above my own heartbeat.

"yes baby?"

"kiss me?" like she had to ask,I slide my arms around her once more, one hand just under her neck cradling her gently, the other around her waist pressing into her again,and it's so amazing how our bodies fit together. she holds onto me so tightly and we just lie there kissing each other deeply,slowly, tenderly.

After a moment I lean back ,run my fingers through her hair,"Paige, I love you. I don't want to rush you I just."I feel the beginning of tears burning my eyes and I'd almost swear hers look a little misty.

"Alex, please baby you're not .Hon, you're being so amazing, so sweet and gentle. I'm not doing a thing I don't want k?."

I nod ,"because you know that there's no hurry, I mean... oh God Paige, I just "

"we'll just do what we feel. ...take our time?"

"yeh"

" I want to take our time,feel everything together, just be in love and love each other."

If I didn't know better I'd swear she could read my mind," I don't want to waste a minute, dont want to rush a thing about this, us."

"I know ,"she smiled up at me,"I love you Alex, more than you could know."

"I do... know."

She giggled a little.

"What?"

"one little teensy favor?"

"anything."

"kiss me. love me ."

I didn't have to be told twice, leaning back in kissing her slowly but deeper than ever.

Take My Time-Terri Clark

Love is such a big rush

You wanna hurry it along

'cuz you can't get close enough

I know it wouldn't feel wrong

But it's all right goin' slowly

Just fine getting to know me

I'll give you one thing you can't buy

Baby you can take my time

Like a river flowing

We can roll on and on

Not knowing where we're going

Living in the moment before it's gone

But it's all right going slowly

just fine getting to know me

I'll give you one thing you can't buy

Baby you can take my time

I know what you want

I'll be here holding on

But it's all right going slowly

just fine getting to know me

I'll give you one thing you can't buy

Baby you can take my time

Heart will be waiting

Baby you can take my time

My time

Going slowly

Getting to know me

You can take my time

My time
