Head's up Hearties, this chapter has more mature content. I think the title of the chapter gives it away. ;)

Rosemary began to shake with anticipation as Lee stepped closer to her, a hungry look in his eyes. She didn't know why, but it pleased her immensely to know that she was the special woman that would cause Lee to gain that look of desire. Just her. No one else. Her heart began to race and her breath began to get heavier and faster as he stepped closer and closer to her. He finally was close enough to lay his hands on her shoulders and he started massaging them gently. After a few more moments, he pulled her closer to him and his lips smashed against hers, an immense amount of passion evident in their smooching, "You…are…so…beautiful," he whispered against her lips, "I really am the luckiest man in the world."

Rosemary continued to kiss him and nibbled the bottom of his lip affectionately, "How are we so blessed to have found each other?"

"I guess it was just destiny that we both somehow ended up in Hope Valley," said Lee softly, "God put a reason for both of us to go to Coal Valley so we'd find each other."

Rosemary couldn't help but chuckle. Lee's reason had been a lot more noble and moral than hers had been, but if she hadn't gone to Coal Valley to try to win Jack back, she wouldn't have been there to meet Lee, so she figured God must've had a magnificent plan in the back of His mind, "Well, I'm glad He did, Mr. Coulter," she groaned.

"It's just Lee to you," he groaned back, "I still can't believe you're mine."

"Well believe it," she gave him a cute smirk and ran her hands up underneath his pajama shirt. Her breath shook a little as she slowly unbuttoned his pajama shirt. He let it fall to the floor, exposing his toned chest and abdomen. It hadn't been what Rosie had expected the other night and it still took her breath away every time she laid eyes on him without a shirt. She swallowed a little and hesitantly asked, "Should we, um, go to the bed?"

Lee nodded and escorted her to the bed. They both lied there for several moments, not really doing anything other than cuddling, Rosemary inhaling his scent as he wrapped her in his big, strong arms, "Whenever you're ready sweetheart."

Rosemary rolled over in his embrace and faced him. She ran her hands over his chest and her pointer finger circled his nipples, "Maybe…" she trailed off, "Maybe we should take our time tonight and explore some more."

Lee nodded in agreement, "We also don't have to do, you know," he gestured the motion with his hands, "Actual penetration tonight if you don't want to. I know it was uncomfortable and somewhat painful for you the other night."

"No, no. It's okay. Abigail, Florence, Dottie, Molly, they all said it would feel that way the first couple of times. It's just something my body has to get used to, that's all. But, when we get there, please…be gentle," said Rosemary quietly.

"I promise," answered Lee. The couple began to kiss again and Rosie flipped Lee onto his back, kissing his lips, his face, his neck, his shoulders, his chest. She let her tongue run over the soft flesh on his neck and his torso, her tongue sliding over his nipples and his muscles. Lee ran his hands up and down her arms, sending shivers down Rosemary's spine. After a few more moments, Lee flipped her onto her back began kissing her neck and chest to return the favor. He kissed along her collar bone, running his finger over the lace of her negligee. She started to quiver a little and he asked, "Does that feel good?" Rosemary could tell he didn't want to hurt her.

She nodded, "Go under the fabric," he nodded nervously and ran his hand under the fabric over her right breast, cupping it, kneading it, "Oh for goodness sake, Lee, just get it out of the way!" she shouted in irritation.

"Yes dear," he helped pull the nightgown up over her head, leaving her in only her panties. He held back a few tears as he gazed at his beautiful wife exposed to him. Rosemary rubbed his cheek affectionately, "It's all for you, baby," her hand drifted down his chest, her fingers lingering over his physique before she trailed her hand over the waistband of his pajama pants. He got out of bed long enough to yank them off and let them fall down his legs, the pants now joining the pajama top and the nightgown in a heap on the floor. He climbed back into bed next to her, his thumb caressing her cheek. He struggled to hold back the tears as he had suddenly been overcome with emotion, "I love you," she smiled and whispered softly.

"I love you too," he smiled back. He glanced back down at her breasts, his hands hovering over them inquisitively, "May I try something? I'll stop if it causes you pain."

"Go ahead," she nodded.

Lee breathed nervously and took one breast in each hand, kneading them and rubbing them. Rosemary was whimpering but he didn't know whether it was out of pleasure or pain, "Does that feel good?"

Rosemary nodded, though she grabbed his left hand and guided it towards her areola and nipple, "That's where it feels the best," Lee couldn't believe that area was where it felt best. He began to circle the skin of her areolas and twists her nipples. He honestly felt like with his strength he'd twist them off. But Rosemary was moaning his name and also crying "Don't stop." That's all that mattered to Lee. Soon his arms got tired so he decided to go back to using his tongue instead. He took her one breast and put it in his eager mouth, his tongue running over her nipple, eliciting cries of pleasure from Rosemary. He stopped for a few moments, "Does that feel alright?"

Rosemary nodded eagerly, "Keep going!" he kept up his work before he stopped and made his way down her stomach, kissing the tender flesh on her abdomen, but soon Rosie stopped him, "Lee, wait!"

Lee immediately stopped, "What? What's wrong?"

"Just…" she glanced down towards his lower half, his arousal becoming as noticeable as her excitement between her legs felt, "This is the part that feels the most awkward to me. When we expose…ourselves to each other."

Lee stood and stood her up with him, "We'll do it together, okay?"

She nodded and held back a few tears, "Okay."

Of course, this part was the most uncomfortable for Lee as well, but he wanted to try to make Rosie feel better about it, so he hid it; he was sure Rosie could see his vulnerability though. He reached down towards her underwear and she did the same, "Okay, deep breath sweetheart," he coached and she breathed out. She didn't even realize she had been holding her breath, "On the count of three. One, two, three," they both yanked off their undergarments, both standing there completely naked, "Well?" asked Lee uncertainly.

"It's…it's not quite as awkward," admitted Rosie, a small smile appearing on her face, "But still a bit weird."

"Did you want to go first?" asked Lee.

"Okay," she whispered, her answer barely audible. They both climbed into bed again and she stroked his cock, provoking moans of desire from her husband, "Is that okay?"

"Yes," he responded, "But circle the base some more."

She did as instructed, tracing her fingers over the base. Her heart began to race some more and her palms began to sweat. She felt his hands near her, her juices soaking his fingers. She finally pulled him on top of her and whispered seductively, "I need you. NOW!" Lee nodded and positioned himself, remembering what she had told him earlier about being gentle. He gradually entered her and she winced a little, "Ow."

"Did it hurt?" he asked gently, a slight dread building up inside of him. He hated how this was obviously uncomfortable for her.

Rosemary shook her head, "No, it's not quite as bad. I should be okay in a few moments."

"Okay," he didn't sound completely reassured, but he continued his slow and steady pace, both of them still trying to get used to the motion. He brushed his hand up against her a little and then she felt it. When he rubbed against her clit, she started to feel a sensation build deep in the pit of her stomach. His hand left the area and she immediately placed it back to where it had been. He moved it again back to a different spot. Again, she put it back on her clit and Lee's hand finally stayed there, rubbing the spot, "Finally," she thought now that Lee had taken the hint.

"I take it…?"

"Oh yes!" said Rosemary ecstatically, "Right there!" Lee could see the look in her eyes that her orgasm was building; thankfully his was too, "If you need to let go, don't hold back for me," she told him.

Lee felt himself release inside Rosemary but he didn't stop his motion, nor did he stop his work with his hands. He wasn't going to stop until his wife was satisfied.

A few moments later, Rosemary felt the contractions build in her pelvic area and a warmth rise into her belly. The sensation washed over her body and she cried out Lee's name, same as he had yelled out hers just moments ago. Lee pulled out of her and flopped onto his back, both of them panting heavily. They didn't say anything for several minutes and Lee was afraid something was wrong. If Rosemary went more than two seconds without talking, something felt abnormal, let alone five minutes, "Sweetheart?" he asked worriedly.

"Yeah," she replied.

"Are you alright? You seem awfully quiet," he responded, a hint of concern creeping into his voice.

Rosemary smiled and leaned over to kiss him, "Yeah, just took me a few minutes to catch my breath. The other night, what we did was…just okay. But tonight, you did much better. I think you found the spot that helped me…you know?"

"Good," sighed Lee relieved.

They stayed silent again until Rosie broke it, "This time was a little less awkward. It was actually kind of…fun."

Lee chuckled and enveloped Rosie in a loving embrace, "It still will probably take some getting used to. But we'll be fine.

Rosemary snuggled against Lee's chest and ran soothing circles over the skin on his chest and stomach, "So what do you want to do tomorrow?"

Lee couldn't help but laugh, "That's what you're thinking about after what we just did?"

Rosemary shrugged her shoulders cutely, "You know I like planning in advance."

Lee rubbed her back, "This is going to sound kid-like but I always have wanted to see the Bronx Zoo."

"It's okay to want to be a kid again. We'll be doing plenty of grown-up stuff on this trip. How about we stop for the world's second best bagels for breakfast and hit the road early?"

"Why so early, babe?" asked Lee.

"Well you usually get up at the crack of dawn anyways. And the earlier we finish our day, the sooner we can get back to the hotel room," she winked.

Lee smiled and winked back before he gained a confused look, "Wait a minute? Second best bagels? I thought New York was supposed to have THE best?"

"Montreal's are better," defended Rosemary.

"Of course they are," whispered Lee under his breath. He didn't know much about Quebec other than they spoke French most of the time and made the most maple syrup in Canada, "Well I guess you'll have to show me Montreal on another trip."

Rosemary smiled broadly and kissed him, "Je t'aime Leland Coulter. Je suis tellement content que tu sois à moi."

Lee furrowed his brow, "In English please?"

"I love you Leland Coulter. I'm so glad you're mine," she translated.

Lee chuckled and kissed her, "And I'm so glad you're mine too. Good night honey."

"Good night, sweetheart."
