A/N: So there will be three more chapters after this fluff/smut fest. There will be a few loose ends that needs to be sorted out before we reach the HEA. But more of that in chapter 13, this chapter is sweet, romantic with their first time sleeping together. Big moment for them, and I hope I made it just right for them.
Again thanks to my beta CSColifer, who powers through these super long chapters. I don't know when next chapter will be finished, and polished for publishing. In the mean time I'll be working on my CSSS2022 project… that will be fun. (Let's see if I can keep it as a one shot :D LOL )
Enjoy
Chapter 12As Emma parked her car in front of Killian's cabin, she could see his truck in the garage and another car in the small driveway. This meant that Liam and Elsa had already arrived. She found her overnight bag in the trunk and walked to the door.
When she knocked, Emma could hear Jewel barking on the other side of the door which made her smile. Killian's little dog was such a precious thing.
Killian opened the door with a huge smile on his face. "Hello, love," he said, kissing her lightly on her cheek. He then stepped back and Jewel nearly toppled Emma over that came leaping out to greet her.
Emma dropped her bag by the front door and looked down at the dog."Hi." She smiled and let Jewel sniff her fingers before she scratched the dog behind her ears. Jewel made a few small yapping sounds as she leaned into Emma's hand. "Happy Birthday, babe." Emma stepped closer and kissed him again, she could feel Jewel following her inside still nudging her leg with her snout. But right now all she cared about was kissing her boyfriend.
Killian cupped her face as they kissed, humming in appreciation. They both ignored the small whining noises coming from Jewel.
"Oy, come in here Jewel," Liam shouted from the living room.
The sound had both Emma and Killian pull away and looked towards the arched entryway to Killian's living room. It was at the end of the cabin with large window panes that gave a good view of the hills below. On a clear day, one could spot a sliver of the ocean on the horizon.
Jewel leaped into the room clearly happy that someone wanted to pay attention to her. Emma could see that Liam shared a look with his brother that held a teasing hint that both he and Elsa had seen the passionate kiss in the hallway.
"Hi, Emma." Elsa came over and hugged her, the tall slender woman smiled and Emma hugged her back. She really enjoyed spending time with Killian's family.
"Hi, how are you?" Emma looked down at the small baby bump.
"Oh just fine, getting past the worst of the morning sickness by now." Elsa placed her hand over her stomach. "But getting weird cravings, something my husband seems to find hilarious."
"Oh aye! Who the bloody hell put mustard on scrambled eggs?" Liam laughed from the couch, he was still giving Jewel a back rub.
"Shut up," Elsa admonished with a small frown.
Emma, however, could clearly see the love shining in the woman's eyes. They obviously had a fantastic relationship filled with love. This was something she wanted as part of her life with Killian too.
When Killian stepped up next to her, she turned to him and gave him her present. "Congratulations babe." She smiled sheepishly, as she knew both Liam and Elsa were watching closely, both seemed curious to know what she'd gotten for Killian.
Killian smiled. "Thanks, love." He ripped at the paper and revealed a picture frame, in the shape of a clapper board with small silver cameras lined around the frame. The picture was one she had taken while out on the ranch after Killian had helped with the horses. They had lounged in a stack of hay bales with Emma sitting behind him, meaning she could hug him from behind and give him what he called a Swan hug. She had pressed her cheek close to his as she'd snapped the photo.
"This is awesome," Killian said, with a huge grin spread across his face.
Emma shrugged. "It's nothing big or fancy."
"I love it," Killian reassured her and gave her a small kiss on her cheek, mindful of the audience they had. He placed the picture frame on the small end table next to his couch then he ventured into the kitchen then announced that food would be served soon.
Hours later the small party had wound down and Elsa announced that she really needed to get home and get some sleep. She sent a small smile at Emma before her eyes shifted to Killian in a knowing look.
"Aye, let's leave the lovebirds alone so Emma can give Killian his real birthday present." Liam waggled his eyebrows.
"Bloody hell, can't you just not say something like that." Killian rubbed behind his ear as his face flamed in embarrassment.
Emma felt her own face heat at the implications made by Liam. She glanced at Elsa who rolled her eyes and looked ready to give her husband an earful once they were alone. Emma gave the other woman a soothing smile. Emma wasn't too sorry that the other couple might know that she was staying over for the night. What would happen later was only for her and Killian to really know.
Elsa and Liam said their goodbyes and soon the cabin was quiet, with only Jewel making a few barks as the door closed.
"I guess she enjoys having guests?" Emma mused as she looked at the young dog.
"Aye, and I should take her out for a small walk before we go to bed." He glanced at her and when she reached for her coat he smiled.
"Wanna go for a walk?" Emma asked Jewel, clapping her hands to get the dog's attention. Jewel yapped and twirled around on the spot, then waited impatiently for them to open the door.
Killian grabbed the leash and opened the door. "I try to walk her with no leash from time to time, she's become better at getting back to me when we're walking through the woods." Jewel sprinted down the driveway and stopped before reaching the edge of the forest, turning to wait for them. When they both headed in her direction, she leaped down the road. Killian's cabin was secluded and at the end of a long, winding forest road so it was rare that much traffic would come this far out.
Jewel sprinted in and out of the trees near the road, stopping now and then to keep an eye on where Emma and Killian were located.
They walked a short distance down the road before going back home to the cabin. This time Jewel was a bit more reluctant to follow orders and kept slipping further down the road.
"Come here. Heel!" Killian commanded and finally, Jewel trudged over to sit next to Killian, giving out a small disgruntled whine. "Good girl," Killian said, clicking on the leash before they walked back to the cabin.
Emma reached for his hand again, and she could feel the nervous tension in Killian's grasp. "Are you okay?"
"Aye." He looked at her. "Why do you ask?"
"You just seem tense." She shrugged, giving him a small shy smile. "You know I'll be sleeping in your bed for the first time."
"Hmm." He pulled her closer and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, whispering into her ear, "I know that love." He kissed her temple. When he pulled back he grinned.
They stepped into the cabin again and took off their coats; it was chilly outside so Emma felt her skin prickling after being out in the cold. She picked up the overnight bag then followed Killian to the bedroom at the end of the small hallway. There was a small nook at the end where she saw a dog bed and water bowl placed out.
"I thought Jewel slept in your bedroom?" Emma asked curiously when Killian rubbed down the dog with an old towel.
"Oh, she did but in the past month I had her sleep out here." Killian explained, pointing to the dog bed. He gave Jewel her command - "Sleep" - which she did reluctantly after looking at Emma and Killian. It was obvious she didn't want to leave them.
Jewel circled around in the bed, nudging the blanket around a few times before settling down with a small huff.
"Yeah, why would you do that?" Emma asked with a knowing smirk.
Killian ran a hand through his hair and grinned. "You know I don't want our first time to be with an audience, even if that audience is a 7-month-old pup." He reached for her hand and pulled her towards the bedroom.
Emma followed him and stepped inside. She'd seen the room before but this was the first time she would be staying the night. She dropped her bag on a small bench by the door and looked around. It was cozy and with muted earth-toned colors, so very much like she knew Killian liked it.
"You can use the bathroom first." He nodded to the door on the other side of the hallway, leading into his small bathroom.
Emma nodded and found her sleepwear and toothbrush, then she went to change. It felt a little strange as she knew they might lose their clothes soon, - at least she hoped so anyway. Emma walked back into the bedroom.
Killian had prepared the bed for them, removing the throw pillows and pulling the covers back. Emma rubbed her palms over her flannel-covered legs, she'd opted to go practical instead of freezing, as Killian had said it sometimes got a bit cold at night.
"I'll just…" he trailed off as if he suddenly realized that she was in his bedroom. "You know." He scratched behind his ear, and she saw the tips of his ears had turned flaming red.
Emma nodded and shifted her focus on placing her clothes beside her bag. She glanced at his retreating backside and sighed in relief when the bathroom door closed behind him. She wanted this; she wanted to take this new step with him and she knew she wanted it to happen tonight. She sat on the edge of the bed and waited for Killian to come out. Her heart now fluttered in her chest at the mere thought of what was going to happen. This wasn't her first time. She'd fooled around with a few past boyfriends, but since the last one, Neal had trampled all over her heart she'd not been with anyone since. That was three years ago.
When Killian came into the bedroom he closed the door, and Emma could hear a small whimper from Jewel. "She doesn't sound happy."
"She'll be fine," Killian said scratching behind his ear. He wore a faded gray t-shirt and a pair of low-hung sleeping pants. He looked nervous and Emma could only imagine what he was thinking right now.
She rose to her feet and walked over to him. "Hey." She smoothed her hands over his chest, feeling the heat of his body through the thin fabric. Chest hair peaked out from the V of his shirt, and she moved her fingers up and toyed with the curly hair. She bit her lip, looking up into his hooded eyes. When his tongue slipped out and licked his lower lip, she felt her skin prickle with something new flaring up inside her. She wanted this man, so she surged forward and kissed him, weaving her hands behind his neck and pulling him closer.
Killian anchored his hands at her waist and he hummed into the kiss, probing with his tongue for access. When she granted it they both moaned in response and Emma felt her pulse rise.
His fingers slipped under the hemline of her shirt, moving over her hipbone and upwards, lifting the shirt up as he moved his hands higher.
"I love you," Emma mumbled against his lips, then she stepped back, and gave him a small sly smile before she helped him pull her shirt away from her torso.
Killian blinked in stunned silence as he took in her naked form, she felt her nipples tighten at the intense look he gave her. "Beautiful," he mumbled swiping his thumb over his lips, his eyes finding hers and his blue eyes blazed with desire.
Emma gulped as she rubbed her palms against her thighs. "I love you." She stepped closer and smoothed her hand under his shirt, feeling the soft hairs that spread over his abdomen and as she lifted the shirt higher she revealed more of his chest.
Killian helped her remove his shirt and Emma stepped closer, her hands still splayed over his chest, the chest hair tickling the palms of her hands.
They both moved into another kiss, their hands exploring the newly revealed skin.
Emma could feel more and more desire run through her body. She rubbed her thighs together already feeling heat and moisture between her legs.
Killian pressed himself closer to her body, his hands slipping low on her backside, his fingers slipping under the waistband of her sleep pants.
Emma could feel how his body also reacted to the new closeness and intensity of their kiss. His arousal pressed against her abdomen. She slipped her fingers down his torso reaching the waistband of his sleep pants, tracing around his waist. Pressing herself closer to him she smiled up at him. "Come to bed with me." She felt a lump form in her throat. This was a huge step for them, but she felt ready, she tugged at the string holding his pants up, urging him to follow her.
"Minx." Killian mumbled but gently pushed her towards the bed. However, before she could climb onto the bed he stopped her. "Allow me." His fingers brushed down her side, slipping under the waistband of her flannel sleep pants. He paused, lifting an eyebrow as if asking for permission to let him take off her pants.
Emma gave a small nod and let him slip the fabric over her hips, now almost naked save for the lacy underwear she'd chosen specifically for tonight.
"Stunning," he breathed out as his eyes swept over her form, she felt heat bloom over her skin, following the trail of his eyes.
They moved together and soon she found herself pressed to his body once again, kissing him deeply. Her hard nipples brushed over his chest hair, making her moan even more. She felt something shift inside her, and she wanted so much more.
Suddenly she felt his hand cup her breast, the feeling of his warm skin against her soft flesh sent a shiver down her spine. In the past, they'd ended up in a passionate make-out session where his hands had touched her breasts but it had always been with clothes on. This was so new and thrillingly different for her. She pulled back slightly trying to take in his features as he explored her body.
Killian looked wrecked and awed, as his eyes dropped to her chest she could see how he focused on what he was doing to her right now. "Bloody brilliant," he mumbled letting his thumb flick over her nipple making her hiss in pleasure. She could see a small satisfied grin spread over his face.
Emma let her own hand explore him too, and she whispered, "I love you."
"I love you too." He took a deep breath and locked his eyes with hers before he lowered his head and kissed her chest. Her skin blazed in an inferno of passion as his lips closed around her nipple. In her past exploits with the opposite sex, she hadn't experienced something like this, so intimate, so perfect. The guys had been fumbling and stumbling before it all ended before it really began. Killian might not be that much older than her but he seemed to know what he was doing.
Emma moaned when he used his tongue to flip over her nub, the skin tightening, sending shocks of desire through her body. It all collected between her legs and she wanted more. She rested her hand on his shoulder as he laved at her nipple; he smiled up at her before he shifted to the other breast.
"God, Killian I need…" Emma moaned out and nearly losing her breath as he continued to tease her sensitive skin.
"What love?" He rose up and captured her lips in a searing kiss, cupping her face as he let his tongue dive into her mouth.
When he finally pulled away she breathed out. "I just want you."
"Hmm, you got me." His lips skimmed over her jawline, and he turned her back towards the bed. He urged her to sit down and when she raised a curious eyebrow he smirked. "I want to try something if you'll allow me?"
Emma smiled and rested her hands behind her back, knowing that it would push her chest up toward him. His eyes dilated at the sight and he had to shake his head as if to clear his thoughts. She smirked, "What do you have in mind, babe?"
"I want to taste you." He scratched behind his ear as he smiled sheepishly, he stepped forward and dropped to his knees between her legs. "May I?"
Emma could feel her pulse spike and she inhaled sharply at how much this affected her whole body, she knew that her panties were soaked already. His eyes swept over her form and when they reached between her legs, she could see that he saw how wet she was already. He licked his lips and reached out to trace over the fabric covering her moist sex.
"Wet already?" He grinned and tugged at the waistband of her underwear, she lifted her ass and let him slide the fabric down her legs.
"You're making me wet," Emma husked, licking her lips, her core throbbing in anticipation of feeling his mouth on her.
"I can see that." He gently pushed her legs further apart and leaned closer to breathe in her scent. "Gods I've been dreaming about this."
"You have?" She yelped in surprise when his tongue swiped over her moist folds, all words she wanted to say flew away the moment he feasted on her. He hummed and lapped at her core, delving deeper inside her as if he couldn't get enough of her taste. No other man had tried this on her, and she had to remind herself to breathe, as the sensations washed over her body. Everywhere it pricked with desire for this man, and she couldn't wait to learn so much more about what they could share. They had all night long.
"God, Killian, I can't breathe," Emma panted, giving up on trying to hold herself upright. She gripped the covers trying to ground herself.
"Relax, love." He smiled against her thigh before he dived in again.
"Shit, I'm so freaking close already." She combed her fingers through her hair, trying to focus on something else but the exquisite feelings from Killian's lapping tongue.
"Come for me," he begged, opting to use his fingers too, his thumb pressing over her clit. This sent her over the edge and she felt him lap up the fluids she felt dripping out of her. It was almost too much as he kept his tongue pressed close to her sensitive skin.
"God, I've never…" She shook her head and looked down at him. "No one had ever done that for me."
"No one?" His voice was filled with astonishment.
She shook her head and gave him a sheepish smile and shrugged. "It's not as if all the rest of their attempts were any better." She gave him a wry smile.
"They are bloody wankers, the lot of them." He rose from the floor and moved over her body. "How can any bloke not want to do what I just did when being with a bloody siren like you." His mouth brushed over her clavicle and finally, he moved in to kiss her.
Emma greedily let him devour her mouth, moaning when she tasted her own essence on his lips. Her hands traveled over his side and ended up at his hips, she urgently tried to push away his sleep pants.
"Why are you still wearing clothes?" she mumbled against his lips, groaning in frustration when her attempt failed.
Killian chuckled and lifted himself from the bed, and slipped the pants down on his own.
Emma realized he'd opted to go without underwear. Her eyes swept over his form, taking in his erection which bobbed against his stomach. A small bead of pre-cum had formed at the tip and Emma involuntarily licked her lips at the sight.
"See something you like?" Killian chuckled and before Emma could think more about what she wanted to do he climbed over her again. "Move up, love," he urged, nodding his head towards the center of the bed.
She scooted back and wrapped her arms around his body when he crawled after her. "I see plenty I like," Emma husked, ghosting her lips over his scuff. Her lips moved to his shoulder while her fingers combed through his chest hair, tugging slightly in the springy hairs.
"Bloody minx," he growled, pressing himself to the cradle of her legs.
Emma felt his hard cock rest over her hipbone. "Killian, I need you," Emma breathed out and shifted her hips so his cock now lay nestled between her warm folds.
"Bloody hell, you feel amazing love." Killian rutted against her core, his cock slipping easily over her moist sex.
Emma slipped her hand between them and finally wrapped her hand around his girth. It was warm and hard against her palm. "Please."
Killian moaned against her neck. "Fuck. What about protection?" He lifted his head and gazed at her with worry. "I haven't thought of that." He looked at her with an apologetic face.
Emma cupped his cheek with one hand, while the other kept moving up and down his shaft. "I'm on the pill, and I get regular health checks, which are required in the show jumping competitions." She smiled. "I trust you."
He sighed in relief. "I haven't been with anyone, not since…" He gulped and gave her a wry smile when she nodded in understanding.
Emma squeezed her hand over his cock and she grinned when he closed his eyes and let out a low moan. "Bloody hell woman. Are you trying to ruin me?"
"Make love to me," Emma whispered and twisted her wrist making him groan again.
"As you wish." He smiled, and he guided his cock to her center. When she nodded her head he pressed forward and slipped inside her.
Both Emma and Killian groaned at the sensation, it felt amazing to be this close to him, finally. He paused and looked down at her. "Are you okay?"
"Hmm." Emma nodded. "Just move slow. It's been a while."
Killian nodded in understanding. He rested on his elbows beside her as he moved inside her. He gritted his teeth in concentration and when he finally bottomed out, he gave out a low moan. "Gods, love, you feel amazing."
Emma smiled and saw him grimace to keep calm when her core pulsed around him. "Killian, please." She looked up at him. "Please move." She pressed her hips closer to him and he finally pulled back and moved forward in one fluid motion. The pressure between her legs built up again as he moved within her. Feeling his hard length moving in and out of her core helped build up another orgasm and she moaned when he picked up speed. Emma lifted her knee and looped her leg over his lower back and with this he could slip even further into her.
"I'm so close," Emma moaned, scratching her nails down his back, and wrapping her hand in his hair. She held him close as she felt her muscles shake as the building orgasm slowly rolled through her before the coil snapped and she felt a rush of desire erupt in a flaming inferno inside her.
Killian snapped his hips a few more times and she felt his cock pulse inside her, the sensation alone almost giving her another smaller orgasm. He moaned into her neck and whispered sweet words of nothing into her skin while they both tried to catch their breaths.
"Bloody hell that was brilliant." Killian rose above her, his hands smoothed over her forehead, pushing away her hair. "I love you."
"I love you too." She smoothed her hand down his back, still feeling him inside her. She clenched her core muscles and she grinned when his eyes blew wide.
"Don't tease," he mumbled, closing his eyes. Killian rocked his hips against hers, making her moan in response.
Emma bit her lower lip as she searched his face, he looked utterly spent and he had a new twinkle in his blue eyes. What they'd just shared had brought their relationship to a whole different level.
She felt him soften, and slip out of her, then when he rolled to his side she moved with him, cuddling closely to him. Inhaling deeply she reveled in the fact that they had finally shared this special moment together.
Emma shifted a little beside him and she felt fluids run down her thigh. Her face must have shown a look of disgust, because Killian, of course, noticed.
"What's wrong?" Killian asked.
Emma felt her face heat up in slight embarrassment. "I might need to go clean up a bit before we go to sleep." She looked down at his chest, feeling her ears go warm
"Let me." He rolled from under her before she could protest any further and he sauntered out in the hall, giving a short command to Jewel to stay put.
Emma chuckled when the pup let out a disgruntled whine.
Moments later Killian returned with a washcloth. He sat down next to her. "Let me."
Emma blinked at him. "Why would you?"
"Please." He urged her to part her legs and he gently swiped up the remains of their joint release. The movement was so sweet and tender that Emma's heart nearly burst through her chest. This man was so amazing and he was all hers, and she hoped this would be a fact for the rest of her life.
When he was done he threw the cloth into the hamper that was next to the door, then he crawled back into bed.
Emma nestled in close to him, feeling her eyes droop in tiredness. "Thank you," she mumbled against his chest.
"This was the best birthday ever," Killian whispered against her hair.
Emma could feel him smile as he kissed her head. "You're welcome." She shifted so she could look up at him. "I'm glad we waited to do this. It was the perfect moment," she said smiling. "And I certainly hope this wasn't a one-time thing?"
"Never a one-time thing." He rubbed behind his ear. "I definitely want to do this with you again, someday, soon." He grinned. "I know your schedule will be crazy over the coming next year, but I hope we will be able to find time alone from time to time.
"I hope so too," Emma mused. She knew that if they accepted her on the Olympic show jumping team, her time would be even more occupied with practice. But she knew Killian would understand why they would have less time together.
"Goodnight, love," Killian said and gave her a small kiss.
"Goodnight," Emma whispered and rested her head on his chest. It was a wonderful new feeling, falling asleep in his arms like this. Neither one of them had cared to search for their clothes and soon Emma slept like a baby for the rest of the night. Her dreams were filled with the future she wanted to share with Killian.
