A/N: Shortly after I first started posting Three's Company fanfiction one year ago, this story was the original ending I had in mind for my Larry/Terri series. A few months ago, a handful of story ideas popped up and have given me a better way to round everything out and to tie up the loose ends, but no matter...the end is within sight now and I cannot wait to finish everything up! Lord, give me strength! God willing, I will wrap everything up within the next six months!
Sorry if Larry comes across as kind of a spaz during the more intimate scenes. I intended for this particular love scene to come across like an exorcism or a purging (I know...sexy, right?). This story is very sexual because I wanted to establish a sense of comfort between them. This is very frank and open about sexual matters, such is my style. I do not know how to be subtle. Consider yourself warned.
Terri Alden was pure evil. A delicious type of evil, of course...but still evil.
As Larry climbed up the stairs on his way up to the apartment, he couldn't help but think about the event that happened that morning and the way that it had pretty much turned his brain to mush the whole damned day.
Actually, Terri had been surprisingly bold in recent weeks now, not just that morning. Larry couldn't figure out what had gotten into her, but he wasn't complaining. Last week, they had been eating dinner at a new restaurant. When it came time for the dessert, Terri had been innocently enjoying her slice of rich, dark chocolate cake...well, for her, it was innocent. The noises of pleasure and the sounds of delight she'd been making had brought out some less than innocent feelings for Larry. When Terri caught the look on his face and had noticed the way he was blushing and squirming, she'd upped the sex factor and even started to play footsie with Larry under the table. Larry could only stand about five minutes of her teasing before getting their desserts boxed to go and then rushing her home. That had been a glorious night for both of them.
That little adventure, however, paled in comparison to what Terri had done to Larry this morning. It all began a few weeks back when Terri had started breathlessly gushing over how "cute" his morning wood looked and how badly she wanted to wake him up in a special way. Larry didn't know whether to be insulted or flattered at the word "cute" being used to describe him, but he'd given her permission to do whatever she wanted to him, whenever she felt like it. A part of him had been egging her on, almost daring her to follow through on her thoughts. Another part of him never truly believed that she would, because she had always been much more shy concerning sex than he was. Of course, she'd come a long way in their seven months together...but still. Waking him up with a sexual act was pretty kinky for someone like her.
Imagine Larry's surprise this morning when he'd been roused from what he thought was a very realistic sex dream by Terri giving him a blow job. He was still half asleep and very sensitive and he was not prepared for the sensation of being enveloped by her warm mouth. He had no idea how long she'd been at it but the sheer shock and hotness of it all caused him to come buckets down her throat in less than 30 seconds. He came so hard, in fact, that he blacked out. She'd blown his mind, literally. He'd been left laying on the bed floating in and out of consciousness while Terri went about her morning routine. He could've sworn he'd heard a self satisfied giggle or two from her, although he might've just dreamed it. Larry tried desperately to fight his blissful, semi comatose state but simply could not wake up in time in order to catch Terri before she'd left for work that morning. A part of Larry wondered if she'd planned it out that way. The only thing that Larry loved more than coming was to get Terri to come and since she'd blown him shortly before leaving for work, he couldn't recover in time in order to return the favor. Larry had barely dragged himself out of bed (on shaky legs, no doubt) in order to get ready in time for work and he'd been left hot and bothered at work all day long, thinking about what he wanted to do to Terri later on that night. It was pure torture. It only added to the torture that he knew that Terri got off of work early and would beat him home that day. The idea of her waiting for him made him rush up the stairs that much faster.
Larry crept into the apartment, feeling stealthy and playful. Perhaps he could sneak up on her, wherever she was. He heard water running in the kitchen and crept into the room, thinking he was being all sneaky. His quiet cover was blown, however, when he caught sight of Terri and groaned.
Terri was standing with her back to him, washing a dish in the kitchen sink. She had on one of his sweaters, a light blue one that matched the color of her eyes. It appeared that she had nothing else on, however, because her long, slender and bare legs really caught his attention. The sweater fit her like a mini skirt and Larry couldn't help but love how cute she looked in his clothes. He snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her middle from behind, pulling her into himself.
"You are such a tease, you know that?" He whispered into her ear.
"Hello, Sleeping Handsome. Nice to see you're finally awake." Terri giggled. Larry could just hear the smile in her voice. "I had to keep checking in on you to make sure you weren't dead. I even checked your pulse and everything."
"You little minx..." Larry smirked against her neck. "I've been waiting all day to get you back for that."
Terri shivered, dropping the dish she was busying herself with and gripping hard onto the edge of the sink as Larry ran his hands over her body. He started kneading her breasts through the sweater she was wearing and then smoothed both of his hands down her flat stomach. Terri tensed up a little bit as she thought more about this morning.
"You're okay, right? I mean...it wasn't too much, was it?" Terri asked him.
"Are you kidding me?" Larry huffed out a laugh. "I've never came so hard in my life. It's your turn now."
He slipped one of his hands in between her legs, rubbing her through her panties. Terri couldn't help but arch back into him. However, she wasn't quite yet ready to give up this newfound femme fatale role.
"Let's go out to eat tonight..." Terri tried to keep the breathiness out of her voice.
"You're kidding, right?" Larry paused.
"Nope. I'm hungry." Terri turned her head to cast a glance his way, her blue eyes sparkling playfully.
A huge grin spread across Larry's face as he caught on to her teasing tone.
"I'll tell you what...how about I eat you out first, and then I'll take you to the restaurant of your choice?" Larry whispered against her ear. "Or maybe we'll just order in and stay in bed all night..."
"Or we could try the new kitchen table..." Terri teased. "Break it in, literally."
They laughed softly together, remembering their little kitchen table mishap from last month. Long story short, they broke it and ended up having to buy a new one. Terri had smacked her knee pretty badly and Larry ended up with a bruise on his back from when the table had collapsed underneath them...it ruined the moment for sure and it was also quite painful, but it sent them both into a howling fit of laughter that they would never forget. The noise it had made was ungodly loud as well and sounded like an earthquake. Every time Terri spotted the bruise on Larry's back, it triggered laughter from her as she wondered how their little accident must've sounded to Jack and Janet, being that their ceiling was Larry and Terri's floor. Curiously enough, Jack and Janet never asked them about it...thank goodness. Larry liked to joke about that little mishap of theirs by citing it as the day he felt the earth move.
"I think I'd rather have you up against the counter instead." Larry grinned. "Or on the floor. Actually, I don't care just as long as I have you before I fucking explode. You have no idea how long my work day was today."
He grabbed her hips and pulled her backside up against himself so she could feel his arousal for her, causing Terri to gasp. The action caused all smart aleck responses that she had in her mind to fly out of her head. She whimpered quietly as Larry continued to rub her and kiss her neck. She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard a knock on the door...Larry, however, did not budge...he just carried on kissing and touching her and getting all worked up.
"Someone's at the door..." Terri sighed with regret.
"So?" Larry continued to kiss her neck.
"We should probably answer it..." Terri pointed out.
Larry let out a growl of frustration and leaned his forehead against her shoulder as he took deep breaths in order to try to collect himself.
"Okay, just give me a second..." Larry agreed with her reluctantly.
"You know what? That might be Mr Furley..." Terri pondered.
"Well, in that case...I'll go answer the door and you hide in the bedroom. I'll meet you there when we're given the all clear, okay?" Larry asked her.
"Okay." Terri smiled.
The couple left the kitchen together and Larry gave Terri a light, playful pat on her bottom. Terri acted as if it was a smack and tossed her head back in laughter before running into the bedroom and closing the door. Smirking to himself, Larry straightened his clothes before opening the door. He was greeted with nothing on the other side. Arching his brow in confusion, Larry looked this way and that but saw no one outside or anywhere near his door. He shrugged before going back inside and closing the door. As he locked the door, he came to the conclusion that perhaps Furley or someone else had visited one of his neighbors on either side of him and it had sounded as if the knock was on his door even though it wasn't. The walls were pretty thin in the apartment complex, after all. He crossed the apartment and made it to his bedroom, opening the door and slipping quietly inside.
"Who was it?" Terri whispered to him from where she was in the bed. She was under the covers.
Larry closed the bedroom door and locked it for safety before turning to address her.
"There was nobody there. Weird, huh? I guess you were just being overly jumpy." He winked at her.
"Me? You're the one who told me to hide in the bedroom!" Terri defended herself.
"Yeah, yeah..." Larry teased her as he rid himself of his clothes. He lifted up a corner of the blanket she was under in order to take a peek. When he saw that she was also naked, he got a huge grin on his face. He eagerly jumped into bed with her, joining her under the blanket. "I am so sick of hiding it, personally. I want to shout it from the rooftops. I know that Furley isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I'm pretty sure he knows about us already. Maybe he even knows about Jack and Janet?"
"What makes you say that?" Terri wondered. She rolled onto her side so she could face Larry as she spoke to him, and Larry did the same.
"Remember when we were coming back home from that motorcycle ride I took you on? We ran into Furley on the way up the stairs while we were still holding hands. I don't think we let go in time and I think he saw us." Larry explained to her.
Terri was silent as she thought about things.
"Also, remember when that bird flew into our apartment the other day?" Larry asked her.
"Oh yeah!" Terri smiled at the memory. Furley had been up at their place fixing a leaky pipe. A bird ended up flying into the apartment through an open window and all three of them had different reactions to it: Larry laughed his head off, Terri screamed and locked herself into the bathroom for safety and Furley got angry.
"Well..." Larry pointed out. "Furley yelled at us over keeping pets in the apartment, not just at me. Plus, you're always up here. I'm pretty sure he knows already. Anyway, it's not even Furley we have to worry about...it's that awful older brother of his. His brother, Barf."
"I think you meant to say Bart." Terri corrected him, smirking knowingly.
"That's what I said." Larry grinned.
"Well..." Terri smiled brightly. "We can always get married like Bob and Carol. Then we can live together openly."
"There's just one problem with that little plan..." Larry smirked. "When we start having kids, we'll get kicked out anyway. No pets and no children allowed, remember? And I'll miss Jack and Janet too much."
Larry jokingly pouted and he and Terri laughed together. Ever so slowly, they quieted down and Terri bit her bottom lip nervously. You could cut the tension in the room with a knife. Terri had no doubt that Larry could feel it as well, if the slight way his hand trembled when he brushed her hair back was anything to go by. Still, she knew he'd never bring it up first.
"Do you want to?" Terri asked him softly.
"Do I want to what?" Larry's eyes widened, his heart picking up its pace.
"Get married." Terri answered him, trying to keep the nervous tremor out of her voice.
Larry just stared at her. Finally, he swallowed hard.
"You can have any guy you want and you pick the guy who got the brilliant idea to spill ink on your dress?" Larry tried to laugh.
Terri did not laugh with him, she just stared at him intensely and did not share in his nervous laughter. Larry's smile faltered and he tried to explain himself.
"Terri, I don't think you want to do this. It's not a good idea for you..." Larry protested.
"If I didn't think it was a good idea, I wouldn't be asking you. And you never answered my question." Terri didn't skip a beat.
Larry sighed. He had, in fact, fantasized about making Terri his bride more than once. However, he had a major break with reality last month and it just kind of blew those plans out of the water for him. He was not well emotionally and both he and Terri knew it. Yes, he'd been in therapy for nearly a month now and Terri, true to her word, accompanied him to every one of his therapy appointments because he was too nervous to go on his own. She held his hand when he had to talk about the most painful and upsetting parts of his life. He actually felt calmer and more stable already and wondered why he didn't do the whole therapy thing sooner, but he was still nowhere near normal yet. He doubted he ever would be. He had come a long way for sure, but he had an even longer way to go.
"Tell me what you're thinking." Terri prodded gently, noticing that Larry was starting to clam up. If it was one thing Larry had learned in therapy so far, it was the importance of expressing his more negative emotions in a healthy way instead of suppressing them until he exploded.
"I'm scared..." Larry's voice shook.
"What are you scared of?" Terri asked him.
"Well, I will try my best to protect you and any children that we have. You know that." Larry started.
"I know." Terri smiled softly.
That was so true. Terri remembered an incident at the park from last week. She and Larry had been feeding the ducks and the geese at the pond. An ornery goose decided that it didn't like Terri for whatever reason and flew out of the water, flying straight towards Terri's head. Larry's quick reflexes kicked into gear and he caught the large bird out of the air in mid flight before it hit Terri and he brought it over to himself, calmly glaring at it as he looked it in the eye. He'd said something to it softly under his breath which Terri could not hear before setting it back down on the grass, turning it around so that it faced the pond and then giving it a gentle yet firm push towards the water. The bird had waddled back into the pond, effectively cowed by Larry. The incident fascinated Terri because, in addition to Larry apparently being some sort of bird whisperer, it showed a different side to Larry's protectiveness over Terri and it showed self control. When Larry defended Terri from David, he went berserk and beat him within an inch of his life. Larry interacting with the goose was different. Larry loved animals and Terri couldn't ever imagine him hurting one, but it was nice to see the proof in front of her. He didn't strangle the bird to death, boot it back into the pond or rip its wings off, he'd just calmly dealt with the bird and neutralized the threat and managed to dial back his response toward a threat to Terri when that threat came from a creature far weaker than himself. He didn't hurt the bird but he still let it know that it was to never, ever, EVER come after Terri again in a gentle, controlled and firm way. It had made Terri's feelings for Larry grow even more.
"There are some things I just have no control over. I don't have a good track record when it comes to the odds, Terri. What are the chances of getting struck by lightning? What are the chances of a 17 year old having a stillbirth? I mean, you even had a miscarriage not too long ago and we weren't even trying to have a baby...what happens when we actually start trying? I'm afraid something really bad is going to happen to you or our children because people tend to drop like flies around me and...I just can't take it. I can't take something awful happening to you or our children. I seriously can't handle it." Larry said softly.
It felt good to finally get it all out. Larry's apparent fear of love, marriage and family was never based in a fear of responsibility...he was, after all, a successful former Marine and you are never the same person after you've come out of the military...it changes you forever. He never had an aversion to marriage because of the tired old ball and chain jokes...he was actually secretly sentimental, romantic and soft hearted. As for children, once upon a time, he'd actually wanted a large family because he enjoyed being raised in a large family himself. He was blessed with a warm, extroverted personality...the kind that caused him to shine in family reunions or that would help him feel right at home as a bartender. He loved being surrounded by people. The more, the merrier as far as he was concerned. He just saw himself as a bad luck charm to those closest to him and really, really didn't want Terri to die. He didn't want to go through the pain of a still birth, a divorce or anything worse than that ever again. The less attached you are to people, the less likely you are to be hurt when they are suddenly ripped from you...if that meant being doomed to an aimless life marred with meaningless sex, then so be it. But lately, that mindset had become harder for Larry to maintain. Sex with Terri was anything but meaningless. When he slept around a lot, it was like a drug...it was a love/hate relationship he had with sex, loving the high of it because it felt good in the moment, but hating how dirty and empty he felt afterwards...and then seeking out more of it. His relationship with Terri had freed him from that bondage. Frequently, he found himself grateful for the fact that he was making pretty good money now that he was no longer wasting it on a stream of one night stands or gambling it away in Vegas. And, yes, his mind would sometimes wander to what it could mean down the road for Terri and himself if they ever took their relationship to the next level. For the first time in many years, Larry actually cared about the future. Before, he truly didn't care whether he lived or died and would sometimes think of an early death as a blessing, but he was taking life much more seriously with Terri now. At this point, Larry realized that he actually cared enough now to stick around in order to make it to middle age and old age. Being alive didn't seem so bad to him now.
Larry kind of felt like he was in a dream world right now. Echoes of Frankie Valli's song "You're Just Too Good To Be True" played in his mind. Terri was proposing to him, in a sense. He desperately wanted to accept, but a part of him was terrified. He didn't want to ruin her life. He also didn't want to experience the pain of having it all fall apart like it had the last time.
"I want to thank you for your honesty." Terri reached in between them in order to take his hand in hers. "Now can I be honest with you for a moment?"
"Of course." Larry nodded.
"Back when I ended up pregnant by you, do you know what my first reaction was? I was scared. I suppose that's the first reaction of any woman who is not actively trying for a baby. After the initial shock wore off, however, I started to feel hopeful and excited. I was really looking forward to our future together. I couldn't wait to see how the baby would be when they were born...which qualities and traits they'd inherit from you and I. It made me feel honored in a way." Terri said quietly.
Larry just stared at her. She felt honored?
Terri paused before continuing, shyness threatening to overcome her. Next to Larry's free flowing passion, Terri sometimes felt like an iceberg. After her nightmare with David, Terri almost had this jadedness to her...a cynicism about love. She saw herself as a strong, independent woman and she'd taken self defense lessons. A part of her saw love as admitting weakness, marriage and having children as letting a man control her, and having sex with a man as opening herself up to more abuse. She knew these bitter feelings were not normal, but still prided herself on being "strong" enough to never let love cloud her judgment again, and to never let her emotions get the best of her. She had been left with a cold, hard, tough as nails shell around her that no one had been able to break into...until now. Terri found it hard to let the sarcasm drop and to open up about her more vulnerable, positive feelings just as Larry found it difficult to be honest about his more destructive, negative emotions. Seeing how free Larry was about sexual passion, trying to find the joy in life, and with mushy sentimentality was very liberating for Terri. It made her realize that being in love didn't make her weak, finding the humor in life didn't make her silly and that loving the mushier, sweeter side to romance didn't make her sappy. It also made her see that enjoying sex with someone she loved didn't make her any less dignified.
In spite of Larry's recent troubles, it seemed that cupid's arrow had pierced her heart. Since her brief but failed pregnancy, she could not stop thinking about marriage and children with Larry. Even before then, her thoughts had started to trend in that direction. When she'd finally learned the truth about Larry's past and had learned that he was nowhere near as down on marriage and children as he initially appeared, her desire for it grew even more. They were practically on the same page. Yes, they'd only been officially together for seven months now, but they'd known each other for years. They were also the perfect age for this sort of stage in life: Larry turned 36 this past April and Terri was turning 30 in December. It's not as if they were two naive teenagers rushing into something that was way over their heads.
"The truth is..." Terri's voice shook a little with nerves, but her gaze did not waver as she looked him in the eye. "I'm falling in love with you...actually, I've been in love with you for a while now, and I can't imagine taking this step with anyone else but you. I never really thought about it seriously before I was with you. And from what you've told me, I know that you've always wanted to take that next step with someone special, despite how painful it was for you the last time. I know you're scared of being hurt again or of things going wrong, but we'll never know how wonderful things could turn out for us if we don't try."
Larry blinked back tears as he looked at her. He already thought that the fact that she was dating him was a miracle, but the fact that she loved him enough to want to marry and start a family with him? To make that forever commitment to him, of all people? The fact that she loved him that much made his heart pound with love for her. Now Larry knew why Terri was usually not so bold with her feelings, because he would end up as a teary mess 24/7. Larry had thought he'd pretty much lost his chance at a happy family life many years ago and now, all of a sudden, sweet images of what could be started filling his head. He pictured a happy home life with Terri and it made his heart want to explode. He could feel himself finally letting go of his past and starting to embrace his future. Even so, he could still feel old insecurities and doubts clouding his overjoyed state.
"I don't deserve you, I really don't." Larry finally choked out, ashamed. "Are you sure you want to do this? You know, with everything that's wrong with me..."
Terri shushed him by gently kissing him.
"There is nothing wrong with you." She said very seriously. "And we deserve each other. Come on, we're perfect for each other...matching names and everything."
Larry couldn't help but tearfully laugh at that.
"That is true. Not a lot of guys can say they are a name twin with their wife..." Larry mused. Because their names sounded so similar, they didn't even really need cutsie, goofy nicknames to call each other because calling each other by their own names sounded cute enough, depending on the tone of voice they used. It made them sound like two peas in a pod.
Terri's huge, beautiful smile slowly spread across her face.
"With their wife? Does that mean...?" Terri trailed off, hopeful yet unsure.
Larry matched Terri's expression with a grin of his own.
"I can't believe I'm going to do this again, but I can't think of anyone I'd rather do it with more than you." Larry kissed her. "I love you so much. You are such an angel."
Terri's squeal of joy was loud enough to burst Larry's eardrums. He winced, laughing at her delight.
"And you don't have to worry about me making you have a bunch of kids. It's too late for me to go for the large family I originally had planned but I'd like at least two so they don't get lonely. How does that sound?" Larry asked her. He was very grateful he was from a large family and couldn't imagine being an only child.
"Sounds good to me!" Terri cupped Larry's face and kissed him again. She then began trailing her hand teasingly down his neck and chest, letting her fingertips linger on his stomach. "How about we get started on it right now?"
Larry laughed at her eagerness.
"Don't you want to get married first?!" He gasped, pretending to be scandalized.
"We can have a shotgun wedding, I suppose." Terri smirked against his lips.
"Yeah, we'll probably have to..." Larry winked at her. If their little incident not too long ago was any indication, Larry's potency apparently was just as strong as it was 20 years ago. Go figure. "You know it's probably going to happen right away, right?"
"I know." Terri said simply, a soft smile on her face. She had nothing but love and trust for him in her eyes.
"Are you sure you want this?" Larry asked her one last time.
"Absolutely." Terri gave him such an adoring look that it gave Larry chills.
Larry had started to shake, both out of nerves and out of excitement. The reality was beginning to set in. Last time had been an accident and had came to an unfortunate ending. But this time, they would be trying deliberately...no condom, no pulling out and no contraceptive pill afterwards. They were really doing this.
The very thought made Larry feel giddy and lightheaded. He quieted his urge to burst into girlish giggles by kissing Terri deeply. Terri returned the kiss and trailed her hand further down his torso, grasping at his cock in a sure and firm manner. She skillfully and quickly worked him to full hardness as she kissed him. She then pulled back and looked at him with a question in her eyes. Larry simply nodded, chuckling softly under his breath. Terri climbed on top of him. She balanced herself by bracing her hands on his chest as she began to ride him, and Larry clutched firmly onto her slender hips. Terri now had a goal driving her actions...to make this beautiful man come in her.
That purpose was apparent to Larry as well. As he gazed up at her as she moved on top of him, powerful feelings and sensations were running through his body as well as his mind. Terri seriously resembled an angel he'd seen in an old painting, also, the sensation of her on top of him never got old. He doubted it ever would. He shut his eyes and moaned softly, just laying back and enjoying the ride as he moved in time with her.
Everything started to make sense now, and everything clicked into place. He realized that this love he felt for Terri was the real thing, not anything like the fleeting feelings of "love" he'd felt for all of his many, many dates in the past several years. As Terri worked her hips against his purposefully, it occurred to him how erotic and wholesome this all was...he knew that this was the true purpose of sex and that this was a pure expression of love, unlike anything he'd experienced in a very long time. A long suppressed thought resurfaced in his mind, a thought that was really more of a fact and a thought that he'd long ago forced himself to forget: he remembered that sex truly was much better when you loved somebody. And love her, he did. He could also clearly feel her love for him because of her willingness to take this next step with him. His hands began to shake and he trailed them up her stomach to her breasts, softly caressing them. Terri arched into his touch and then cupped her hands over his, making him squeeze her breasts more firmly. Her nipples hardened against his palms and she whimpered. The noise went straight to his groin and caused him to release a steady stream of precum inside of her. He gasped as he felt his orgasm building quickly, much more quickly than he expected or would have liked. He wanted this to last forever.
"Terri..." He said her name in a breathless sigh. His breaths were quickening, becoming shorter and shorter. "Terri..."
He didn't know whether he wanted to tell her to stop or to keep going, his brain was a bit fried at the moment. He looked at her, and she returned his gaze. She gave him a sweet and loving smile and did not let up on her movements.
"It's okay..." Terri whispered to him.
Larry maintained eye contact for as long as he could before his orgasm took him by surprise, slamming into him with force. He squeezed his eyes shut and arched his back, hanging onto her waist for dear life as he filled her up in warm, pulsing wet jets. A look of glowing satisfaction lit up Terri's face and she continued to ride it out for all it was worth, milking him dry. Larry bucked up against her repeatedly as he continued to spill himself inside of her, moaning softly as his orgasm seemed to come over him in wave after wave.
Eventually, they both stilled their movements and Larry quieted down after a while. However, something strange happened...he was still hard inside of her. Neither one of them knew what to do with the unexpected yet not unwelcome surprise. Terri took it upon herself to bounce up and down on him experimentally. Larry groaned, equally out of pleasure and pain...he was overstimulated and overly sensitive now.
"Ow..." Larry said softly under his breath, wincing a little as he dug his fingers into her waist.
"Ow?" Terri raised an eyebrow. She scrambled to get off of him.
"It's a good 'ow'...I think." Larry laughed breathlessly, holding her in place. "Do you think we'll have to call a doctor after four hours?"
Terri snickered and sat still on top of him for a while. Larry ran his hands over her body as they thought about what to do next. Larry's eyes lit up as he got an idea. He reached down and began stroking her clit back and forth with his thumb.
Terri hummed in appreciation and automatically began rocking her hips back and forth as he stimulated her. He alternated between rubbing his thumb back and forth over her clit to rubbing her in small circles. A rosy blush came to Terri's cheeks and she continued to grind herself down onto his cock as he pleasured her. Her breaths started to change to desperate whines and gasps.
"You look so beautiful, sweetheart..." Larry panted for breath. "I love it when you fuck me like this..."
Larry's words pushed her over the edge, and Terri came on his cock, clenching down around him almost painfully hard. She shivered and moaned and Larry grunted through gritted teeth. He managed to hold off on coming again so soon, but just barely. He felt small throbbing sensations in his groin that kind of felt like weak, tiny orgasms and his cock pulsed inside of her. Feeling her warm wetness seeping down over his shaft and dripping further down onto his balls didn't make it very easy for him to control himself. He could feel his entire being vibrating with excitement.
Terri shook as she braced herself on top of him, still experiencing aftershocks when Larry spoke up.
"I really want to fuck you." Larry said in a low and husky voice. He looked up at her, his dark eyes looking incredibly bright and vibrant.
Terri nodded her consent, despite being barely recovered.
Larry flipped them over so that he was now on top of Terri. He began fucking her as hard as he could, or at least, that's what it felt like to Terri. It felt as if he was hitting new spots inside of her. Each thrust sent a jolt of pleasure up Terri's spine and Terri had to brace a hand up against the headboard so that her head didn't smack into it. The already very lubricated state between the two of them led to wet, smacking sounds as he drove into her over and over again. Terri could not seem to catch her breath. Normally, this sort of thing would have scared her, but coming from Larry, she welcomed it because she was unafraid of him. She wrapped her legs around his lower back and angled her hips upwards, meeting his thrusts as best she could. They were both panting and gasping for air and the mattress underneath them creaked in timing with their thrusts.
Speaking was impossible at that point, so Terri merely reached up and cupped Larry's face lovingly with her hand. His skin was hot to the touch and it almost felt as if he had a fever. She simply smiled up at him...a warm, trusting and loving smile...and it seemed to open up the floodgates for Larry.
Larry's face crumpled with emotion. He could not believe this angel on earth loved him this much. He did not feel worthy of her, despite her constant reassurances. His emotions were going crazy and every nerve in his body felt supercharged with electricity. He was so overstimulated and overly sensitive from the last time that this experience was almost as painful as it was pleasurable. He could feel his body building up to something huge, making the orgasm she'd given him this morning feel tiny in comparison. Things were becoming so intense, that it was starting to scare Larry. His vision was starting to blur and darken around the edges and Larry swore he felt his soul trying to leave his body. He wondered if he would die right then and there...what a way to go. He had been bracing himself up above her with his arms, but then the muscles in his arms shook and gave out. He leaned down on top of Terri, thrusting into her with a renewed fervor. Terri embraced him, clinging to him desperately.
They fell over the edge of the cliff together.
Strangely enough, the orgasm first hit Larry on an emotional level rather than a physical one. Tears burned his eyes, both happy and sad tears, as he felt the pain, fear and anguish from his past leave him in one, big whoosh. It was replaced with a love and hope so intense, that he felt like he was going to explode.
And explode, he did. He came so hard that it felt like he must've sprained a muscle or two in his groin. Larry found himself simultaneously mourning over what had been and rejoicing over what was to come while at the same time coming his brains out. He saw stars and he began sobbing in pure pleasure as he came, as well as sobbing in relief as a healing love washed over him.
He was reduced to a pre-verbal state, and a raw, primal yell broke out of him. His voice broke and cracked as if his vocal chords were not prepared for the force behind his vocalizations. He wailed out a series of long, wordless cries...screaming in order to hold onto consciousness, screaming because everything felt so good on every single level imaginable, screaming because he desperately wanted to express his love for Terri, but he literally could not form words at the moment. He cried loudly as he clung to her. He couldn't breathe.
Love exploded in Terri's heart as she accepted everything Larry had to offer. She rubbed his back soothingly, which then turned into light scratches up and down his back as her own orgasm washed over her. She had her legs still wrapped around him, squeezing him against herself rhythmically in order to help him along. Terri threw her head back against the pillow and tears stung her eyes as she ground herself against him. She moaned and shook as her vision whited out behind her closed eyelids.
After a few moments, the majority of Larry's shaking and crying had subsided. He still had his head down with his face buried into Terri's neck and shoulder, breathing in her natural scent. He was trembling and panting shakily as he tried to regain his ability to speak. Terri stroked the back of his head as she felt his wet tears on her neck. She became aware that he was now muttering something feverishly into her shoulder...it was muffled, so Terri had to really listen hard in order to understand what he was saying. It took Terri a while to register that Larry was repeating "I love you" to her over and over again.
After what felt like forever, Larry finally rolled off of her and collapsed onto his back on the mattress beside her in a daze. He groped for a tissue, pulling one out of the Kleenex box on his nightstand.
"Fuck, babe..." Larry wiped at his eyes, his voice hoarse. "You have to stop making me cry and come so much. I'm going to get dehydrated."
Terri snickered as Larry turned towards her and embraced her. She snuggled into his chest and sighed, relaxed and happy.
"Can we do this forever?" Larry wondered out loud as he squeezed her in a hug, still in a dreamlike state.
"That's kind of why we're getting married." Terri pointed out playfully. She thought about it some more, before her eyes widened in realization. "Larry and Terri get married...hey, it sounds like a romantic comedy!"
"Larry and Terri get married..." Larry laughed softly to himself. It really did.
"And have a son named Harry..." Terri added.
"And a daughter named Mary..." Larry continued.
"And a dog named Jerry..." Terri giggled.
"And a cat named Carrie!" Larry chuckled. "Oh man, our jokes really suck, don't they? It's like we're on the same wavelength now. It's kind of like we're already married and we've got the Dad and Mom jokes down pat."
"You love my jokes, I learn from the best." Terri replied, poking his chest. "Look who I live with."
"I do, no matter how terrible they are." Larry winked, picking out Terri's name as clearly as he could.
"My jokes are hilarious." Terri grinned, catching on quickly to his play on words. She then added sarcastically. "They've become much better since I've met you."
"I knew my genius would rub off on you sooner than later!" Larry laughed. He sighed happily before tightening his hold around her once more. "I'm marrying my best friend, I can't believe it..."
"You're marrying Jack?" Terri smirked.
"You are a brat, Miss Alden." Larry narrowed his eyes playfully.
"You mean Mrs Dallas, don't you?" Terri sweetly corrected him, making Larry's heart flutter.
"How about Mrs Dalliapolous?" Larry smiled, placing an excited kiss to the top of her head. Terri stiffened in his arms at the 12 letter, 5 syllable name. Larry laughed as he felt her cringe.
"I love you, but I'm going to have to think about that one..." Terri half joked.
Larry snickered and he and Terri quieted down and just lay still together, enjoying each other's company. After a long while, Larry softly spoke up.
"I really will miss Jack and Janet so much..." Larry sighed, a lump forming in his throat.
"I know, me too." Terri said softly, tears pricking at her eyes.
The more Larry thought about it, the more painful that lump in his throat became. He really didn't want to start crying again for the 100th time that night, especially on an evening with so much cause for celebration. Clearing his throat, he sat up and stood up out of the bed and walked casually over to the bedroom door. He opened it and turned back to face Terri, who had been watching him curiously from her place on the bed.
"I'm going to take a shower. Care to join me?" Larry asked her with a suggestive quirk of his eyebrow and a dimpled smile.
Terri got out of the bed, crossing the room almost silently as she joined him at the door. She grabbed his hand in hers, giving him an affectionate squeeze. With her other hand, she reached up and combed her fingers through his dark hair. She really did love how it got curly with sweat.
"I'd love to." Terri said simply, her eyes shining with joy.
THE END
A/N: Five more to go after this! Let's do this! Thanks for making this a year full of fun for me! Btw, if you caught yourself laughing at the over the top intensity of the love scene, don't feel badly because I laughed while writing it. Sometimes these things just write themselves and you just need to go with the flow and not censor yourself, no matter how silly you may feel. I know to a lot of Three's Company fans, it may seem unrealistic for the character Larry, of all people, to be secretly pining for love, marriage, family and a more traditional life. For me, though, I kept picking up on little clues here and there...he seemed really excited to marry Gloria, talked about marriage with Bunny/Twinkie and just seemed so hopelessly romantic and sentimental when he thought he was in love with Janet and with Terri, so, why not expand on that softer side?
