Without a word, Amanda stood in front of Lee and pulled her t-shirt up over her head. Lee's eyes never left hers as she lowered her sweatpants and panties all in one swift movement. His eyes instantly glanced up and down her body. The glow of the candles cast shadows, highlighting her beauty in all the right places. Their eyes once again locked on to each other. He quickly undid the button and zipper of his jeans, then lifted his hips to slip them down along with his boxers. Both of them now with no barriers between them. Amanda stepped forward, kneeled to straddle Lee, and placed her hands on his chest. Lee reached up and caressed Amanda's jaw while running his thumbs over her cheekbones.

"You're so beautiful, Amanda. It's what kept me safe while I was gone. When I was in a tough spot, I'd pull out my picture of you, and it gave me the strength to push on. You brought me back. I love you!"

"Oh, Lee. I love you too!"

He leaned in to kiss her softly, savoring the taste of her. His arms slid around her to pull her close to him as she did the same. Their tongues teased each other's lips, begging for entrance. Moans escaped both of their mouths. Lee moved his hand to caress Amanda's breast and teased her nipple with his thumb. Amanda could feel his body respond and harden under her.

"Oh, Lee. I missed your touch. I dreamt you were home and touched me like this. I can't believe I'm actually feeling you right now."

He moved his hand between them and flicked her bundle of nerves while he moved his lips to the skin under her ear, which drew more moans from Amanda. He quickly slid his finger into her.

"Oh, Manda, you're so wet. I need to be inside you." Amanda leaned back just far enough so she could gaze deeply into his eyes. She could see they were filled with desire. Lee's hand moved to his shaft as Amanda raised her hips to allow him to guide himself into her. They sensuously moaned from the connection they both had been missing as Amanda started to rock while Lee thrust up to meet her every movement. Amanda began to quicken her movements when she felt Lee's hands on her hips. "Manda, slow down. We've got all night."

Lee raised his legs with his feet flat on the floor and his knees behind Amanda. He gently pushed back on Amanda's shoulders to have her lean against his legs. His hands slowly slid down her arms, not stopping until they reached her ankles. He sat forward from the couch and pulled on her ankles until they were wrapped around him. He placed his hands on the small of her back to help support her as he crossed his legs. They were now sitting up in each other's arms. He began to rock his hips slowly while he hungrily stared into her dark chocolate eyes.

"Oh my gosh, Lee. This feels so good," Amanda whispered into his ear.

"Yes, it does." He leaned back, and they locked eyes again. "Plus, I get to hold you in my arms." He tightened his grip around her. "And I get to look into your eyes and do this." He rocked his hips just a little and captured her lips with great demand. He broke the kiss, stared at her beautiful face, and finished with. "All at the same time."

Amanda sighed with the pleasure this caused. Lee ran his fingers softly up and down her back as he moved his lips to her neck and down her collarbone. He could feel her tensing up but felt as if she was holding back. "Amanda, look at me?" His left hand moved to her cheek. "Let go, honey. Don't hold back. I need to feel you constrict around me."

Amanda breathlessly responded, "I don't want this to end. If I let go, then this will end."

"No, it won't, Manda. I'm okay. Just let go." He released his hold just a little. She leaned back as he held her with one arm. The other moved to her breasts as his mouth attacked the other. The three different sensations pushed her over the edge, and she cried out his name. "That's it, honey, let it go. Oh, God, it feels so good. Let it all go." Lee continued to rock as she rode out her climax. He hugged her tightly until he could feel her start to relax again.

Amanda lovingly gazed into his eyes and softly spoke, "God, I missed you. I can't believe how good this feels. Are you doing okay?"

Lee smiled, displaying his full dimples. "I'm perfect, Manda."

They continued to rock, kiss, and tease each other for what seemed like hours. They needed no words as they reconnected with each other's needs and wants. Lee looked deep into Amanda's eyes and whispered, "Manda, I'm close. I don't know if I can hold on any longer, and I need you to come with me."

Amanda took his cue and leaned back to deepen their connection as Lee's hands moved from the small of her back to her shoulders. He pulled her down, needing to be as far into her as he could. Their movements hastened, and soon they both exploded while in each other's arms. They held each other tight, neither of them wanting to lose their connection. Lee drew back just enough to see Amanda. He pushed her sweat-dampened hair away from her face and bored his eyes deep into her soul. "I never want to be away from you again, ever! I love you so much!"

"I love you, too! Please don't ever go away again."

Lee carefully leaned to the side to set Amanda on the floor. She let out a soft groan as he slipped out of her. He reached up for the blanket Amanda left on the couch and covered them. He laid beside her and drew her close to him as exhaustion took over, and they both drifted off to sleep.
