CHAPTER FOURTEEN
"You remember my saying when I was married to David it was a sham of a marriage in that area. I always wanted to give myself fully to the man I married, and this is the most special gift I have to give you. That makes you my first, my last, my everything…like in the song," Iris said simply, her eyes dark and wide. She then buried her face in his shoulder, embarrassed, but Jim gently turned her face toward his and she saw a very tender expression there.
"Iris, you humble me," Brass said softly.
"I'm going to spend the rest of my days making it my mission to love you rotten, you know," Iris whispered.
"Starting now," Jim said.
He covered her body with his own as he kissed her softly and then more demandingly. It was his desire to be careful, especially now with what Iris had shared, but it was difficult as he ached to join with her. He didn't mean to but it resonated with Iris, who sought to guide him within herself. He began to slowly make his way in; gentle, gentle, he told himself.
However, Iris suddenly bucked herself hard against him and Jim found himself fully embraced within her. He gasped her name and then said how tight and how good she felt to him. Brass was amazed he was saying this but at the same time he knew this was the person he'd share everything with. Jim suddenly feared he'd caused her pain as a tear slid from her eye as she brushed it away abruptly.
"Baby, what is it…did I…I mean…you okay?" Brass whispered.
"I'm good to go. Did you know we did a fencing move?" Iris said smugly.
"How's that?" Brass queried.
"Thrust by you and parry by me," Iris's giggles escalating.
Brass found himself beginning to laugh; Iris's humor was contagious. To know they could laugh and love at the same time was icing on the cake to Jim. He found himself totally besotted by her all the more.
"We've unfinished business, hon, so take us home," Iris challenged.
Brass obliged, finding his desire rekindled quickly, as he began to slowly move with Iris. The pace of their lovemaking was accelerating. Brass leaning down to nuzzle at Iris's breasts, feeling her clasp him from behind as her legs wrapped about him. This spurred him on further as he felt he was literally crushing her with how fast he was going, but she bore him fully and met him with upraised hips to compliment their rhythm. He felt her tighten around him, as he buried himself further with each stroke. Feeling his climax beginning, he moved quicker and faster, wanting Iris there as well. To his profound delight, she was there as she arched against him and let a gasping moan that included his name. He also reached the point of no return as his release was achieved, all of his essence pouring into Iris as water into a thirsty land. He collapsed onto her, breathing heavily, Iris holding him cradled to her. She hungrily kissed him as their tongues sought to slowly slip and slide against each other.
The rest of their first night together passed in much the same way, finding that they couldn't get enough of one another, but after several interludes of loving, they were finally able to reach a point where sleep overtook them.
