A Fresh Start
Chapter Two Hundred Sixty Seven
By noon, everyone is at Sam's and Jeffrey. The kids are upstairs in one of the rooms the boys stayed in, playing with their new toys. Emma was unfortunately the only girl in a room full of boys so there've been some minor fussing and fighting. Emma doesn't want to play the boys games and the boys doesn't want to play with dolls, but the women keep them in line. Reva and Josh are the last to arrive. Jeffrey takes Josh's coat and then he turns to help Reva with hers. She goes to the kitchen while Josh follows Jeffrey to leave their coats on the couch in his office. As they are leaving the room, Josh says. "Billy said he'd be by later. He's spending the morning with Stace's family."
"So, he's meeting the family now. Do you think this is serious?"
"Well, it's the first time since he and Vanessa divorced that he's met his girlfriend's family, so I think it's something."
"He deserves to be happy as does Stace." Jeffrey says, as they walk into the living room.
"Who deserves to be happy?" William asks.
"Billy." Josh says, settling down on the sofa.
"I agree. I don't know him well. But Ava's the best thing for me."
"You just want us to all be ridiculously happy, newly wed, newly engaged happy." Jeffrey says.
"You're still a newly wed. You saying you're not overjoyed every day to have Sam around." William asks.
"No, of course I am. It makes me shudder to think what could've happened a few weeks ago." Jeffrey says, looking at Sam in the kitchen with the other ladies.
"She seems to have really settled down. Almost like that didn't even happen."
"She is. She's talking to someone and I think that's helping her to realize he left her with no other option."
"I can't really believe he wanted to force her to come back to that life. From what you've told me her childhood was really traumatic."
"It was and then to loose her mom, right after she basically lost me. I don't know how she survived and kept her sanity. I'm not sure that I could've done that. I mean look at how I handled just loosing her." Jeffrey says, looking at Sam. She looks up at the moment and towards him and when she sees him watching her she smiles at him and he smiles back before he turns his attention back to the other men. "So, William you have a week left before you marry my daughter. Are you ready?"
"Now Jeffrey, you can't ask a man that question, especially to your future son-in-law." Josh says.
"You mean to tell me you won't question the man that marries Marah before her wedding day?" Jeffrey asks, looking at Josh.
"Of course I'm going to question him."
"So, I'm asking my future son-in-law if he's ready to marry my daughter." Jeffrey asks, looking at William.
"I'd marry her right now, but she's made all these plans with Cassie I can't let her miss that."
"I guess you've been busy with the preparations." Josh says.
"No, actually the Beacon has handled just about everything for the ceremony and reception. The only thing we've had to do is find someone to officiate the wedding. Thank you by the way. We had find Ava her dress, which she finally got around to doing with Cassie and Sam and I already have my tux from San Cristobel. Richard is standing up beside me. Ava has Emma as her flower girl and Stace as her matron of honor. Will is going to be the ring bearer. So it's pretty much set. We'll be staying at the Beacon after the wedding and then we're going on a road trip for our honeymoon since I've been to just about everywhere as Head of State for San Cristobel and then as a Merchant Marine before that. I thought we could do something neither one of us has done."
"Do you know where you're going?" Richard asks.
"No, we're just going to head out and see what we see." William says.
In the kitchen, the women are busy putting the last minute touches on dinner. "Reva did you speak to Marah about coming over?" Sam asks.
"Well like I said at Cassie's party, I stopped by her room and told her we were meeting here instead of Cross Creek this year. But she never told me she wasn't coming but then she didn't tell she was, so I don't really know what she's doing."
"I would think it's slightly weird for her." Cassie says, glancing at Sam.
"Why would it be weird?" Megan asks.
Reva and Cassie looks at Sam before she says. "Jeffrey and Marah were involved briefly before she went to Paris."
Megan stares at her for a moment before she says. "Like, involved, involved."
"Yes." Sam says while Megan stares at her.
"How could that even happen? He's her uncle."
"They didn't know that at the time." Sam says.
"Well, that explains the tension at Thanksgiving." Megan says.
"I thought I told you about that." Sam says, as Megan shakes her head no. "Oh, sorry, they were together briefly about two years ago or so." Sam asks, looking at Reva and she nods.
"So, what happened?"
"It wasn't the right time for them and Jeffrey made arrangements for Marah to work for a fashion house in Paris. It was an opportunity that she couldn't pass up, so they let each other go." Reva says.
"Is that the reason that Josh didn't want to admit Jeffrey was his brother?"
"It was one of the reasons. Mostly it was jealousy and fear." Reva says, as Megan looks at her. "I'm… I'm not really ashamed to say this. I'm sorry that I hurt Josh, but I've been with Billy and with their father HB. So Josh was afraid that I would eventually decide that I wanted Jeffrey and go to him. That's the biggest reason Josh didn't want Jeffrey in the family. The relationship between Jeffrey and Marah was unfortunate and makes the situation slightly uncomfortable it's not as important as Josh's fear of loosing me."
"Why would I be loosing you?" Josh asks, as he walks into the kitchen.
The ladies all look at Reva before she says. "We were talking about why you didn't want Jeffrey in the family at first."
"Oh." Josh says, nodding.
"Did you need something?" Sam asks.
"Umm, we were going to take the kids out and let them play in the snow until lunch." He says, looking at the other women.
"That's a good idea" Megan says. "My boys should have their coats and gloves in their room and tell them they have to wear the coat and the gloves or they have to stay inside." She says.
"That's the same for mine, Josh." Cassie says.
"Emma too." Ava says, as Josh nods.
"We'll take care of them." He says, leaving the kitchen.
Marah is sitting in the living room when Julien comes in. She's wrapped in a blanket with a cup of coffee in her hand. He sits down beside her and then leans in and kisses her. He pulls away when he realized that she's not really paying attention. "What's wrong?" He asks, sitting back.
"What, nothing is wrong." Marah says, smiling but the smile doesn't quite reach her eyes.
"You're distracted." Julien says, running his hand through her hair.
"I'm…." He looks at her. "Okay, I'm not fine. But it'll be alright."
"What's on your mind?" She looks at him and then looks away. "Marah, talk to me." He says, scratching the back of her head.
She leans into him and sighs. "I came home because I missed being around my family for the holidays. After Adam I wanted to be with them."
"So you want to see your Mom and Dad." He says as she nods. "Then let's go see them."
"We can't and you know why we can't." Marah replies after taking a sip of her coffee.
"We can't go because you slept with your uncle." He says. When she doesn't reply, he asks again. "Is that not the reason?"
"It's… there's a little more to it than that."
"What's the other reason?"
"We just got together."
"I've already met your family at Thanksgiving, remember?"
"You were there as Sam's bodyguard, not my boyfriend. That's different."
"It's not that much different. They already know me. So I think the situation with your Uncle is the real reason why you're staying away?"
She looks at him and then sighs again. "It's just a little bit awkward."
"Because your Mom and Dad are spending Christmas at your Uncle's and Aunt's instead of at home." He pauses and she nods slightly. "They are your family too, so I'm sure that Jeffrey and Sam will accept you."
"lt's more complicated than him just being my uncle and Sam being my Aunt."
"You mean because you and Jeffrey were a couple for a while before you went to Paris." He says, pulling away from her.
"It's weird. He's my uncle but I slept with him. We didn't know it at the time but we still slept together and now he's my uncle and he's married and about to have a kid. It's just weird."
"I didn't take you for a coward."
"I'm not a coward. It's just an uncomfortable situation."
"And that situation isn't going to stop being uncomfortable unless you face it. Unless you still have feeling for…."
"No, no… he's my uncle!" Marah says, glaring at him.
"If that's the way you feel then why are you hiding here instead of being with your mom and dad."
"I'm not…." He looks at her. "I can't go over there. We….."
"You had a relationship with a man that you cared about. It is not your fault that, that relationship turned out to be with someone it shouldn't've been with. I got to know Sam quite well when I was guarding her, she will not judge you based on those events." He says, tucking her hair behind her ear. She looks at him and it's clear that she's still unclear about what to do. Standing, he reaches for her hand. "Go get ready."
"Where are we going?"
"You're going to get ready and we're going over to Sam and Jeffrey's. "
"Every….."
"I'm sure that everyone will welcome you with open arms, especially your Uncle and Sam." He says, walking her towards the bedroom.
"I don't have a gift for them. I can't go over there without something."
"We'll stop and get something."
"It's Christmas, who's going to be open."
"We'll find something. Go get dressed." He says, gently pushing her into the room.
She stops and looks back over her shoulder. "You're going to come with me, right?"
"Of course I am, go." He says. She turns around and walks into the room.
Thirty minutes later, she comes out of the bedroom. He's sitting on couch with two gift bags beside him. "Are you ready?"
"What is that?" She asks, pointing to the bags.
He looks at the bag and then gets ups. "I stopped by that little shop by Company and picked something up yesterday."
"But I wasn't…."
"I figured you would want to go and I knew you would likely want to take something."
"Thank you." She says, leaning up to kiss him.
"You're welcome. Are you ready to go?"
"Yes." She says, going to get her coat. He helps into it and then they leave.
The boys, Jeffrey, Josh, William and Richard have been outside for about an hour when another car pulls up. Jeffrey turns when hears the car pulled up. Recognizing Julien's car he starts walking towards them when he sees Marah getting out as well. He stops and watches as they walk toward him. "Hello." Julien says, holding out his hand.
Taking his hand, they shake hands as Jeffrey says. "It's good to see you again."
"It's good to see you too. How's Sam?"
"She's much better. She's inside with your mom and Cassie with Megan and Ava." Jeffrey says, looking at Marah. "It's good to see you." He says, as Marah steps up.
"Merry Christmas." She says, holding out her hand as Jeffrey steps forward and hugging her.
"We're glad you came." He says, stepping back from the hug.
"Thank you for inviting us." She says.
"If you want to go inside you can. Your dad , William and Richard and I are out here playing with the kids before dinner."
"I see that." Marah says, looking towards the backyard. "I think they've started a snowball fight." Marah says, as the door opens and Sam comes outside just as Rj throws a snowball. "Looks like the fun being called to an end." Marah says, nodding towards the porch.
"I think dinner is ready. Come on." He says, walking towards the house. Julien and Marah follow him.
When they reach the porch, Josh walks up and hugs Marah. "I'm glad you came and I'm proud of you." Marah smiles as she leans up and kisses Josh's cheek before she steps back. "Julien, it's good to see you again." Josh says, shaking his hand.
"Mr. Lewis." Julien says as they shake hands.
"Are you guys ready to eat?" Sam asks, as Jeffrey walks up the steps.
"Yes." He says, slipping his arm around her. He leans in and rubs his nose against her neck.
"Stop, your nose is cold." She says, pulling back.
"We have some more company." He says, stepping back as Josh and Marah walk up the steps.
"Marah, I'm glad you came." Sam says, releasing Jeffrey and reaching out to hug her.
"Thank you." Marah says, hugging her.
"Your mom, Cassie, Ava and Megan are inside." Sam says, stepping back.
"Jeffrey told me."
"Go on inside, Julien it's good to see you again."
"You too." He says, reaching out to hug her as the boys come up from the yard.
Sam steps back, letting Julien and Marah enter the house with everyone else following her inside. Reva is coming out of the kitchen when she spots Marah come in. "Oh, you came." She says, rushing over to Marah and hugging her.
"He sort of made me." Marah whispers, still hugging her mother.
"And it's a good thing he did." Reva says, leaning back. "This won't begin to become less awkward if you don't take the initiative and talk with them." Reva says, as she looks into Marah's face.
"Are you two going to let each other go long enough that we can eat?" Josh asks, Reva glares at him as she releases Marah.
Throughout the day, the kids played with their toys and outside, while the adults hung out inside. The men watched football, with Josh, Jeffrey, Julien and Richard educating William on the rules of American football. While the ladies stayed together, discussing everything from their children and things along those lines to Ava's upcoming wedding. They were in the middle of that conversation when the kids came back inside. "Coat off guys, it's getting too late for you to be outside." Sam says, as the other women nod.
"Why don't you guys go upstairs and play?" Megan says, looking at her boys.
"I don't want to go upstairs." Emma says, looking at Ava.
Ava looks at the other women as if to ask if it was okay for her to stay. "You can stay." Ava says, after the other ladies nods.
"Thank you." Emma says, settling into a chair between Marah and Ava.
Over the next couple hours, their all in their groups until Sam notices Jeffrey getting up. She watches him walk back towards his office. A few moments later, he returns with the guitar that Sam bought him. Sitting down by the fireplace, he says. "Now that the game is over, I thought I would play a little bit, if that's okay?" He asks, looking around the room as Sam gets up and goes into the living room. The ladies walk over to their men, settling in beside them as Jeffrey begins to play. Emma settles down at William's feet while Ava sits on the arm of the couch beside him. Reva and Josh are beside them with Marah and Julien sit beside them. Sam is beside Jeffrey next to the fireplace with Megan in one of the easy chairs and Billy and Stace are sitting in one of the recliners.
The first song Jeffrey plays is a traditional Christmas Carol. He works his way through most of those when the boys join them. When he finishes, he looks at Sam and then says. "The song I'm going to play next is one of my favorites because the two women that matter most to me love this song, my wife and my mother. Slowly he begins to play Silent Night, as he plays Marah sings softly with him. When they're finished, he plays a few more songs before William and Ava stand up, followed by Emma. "We're sorry to go, but we have some last minute stuff to before the wedding." William says
"Oh, of course." Sam says, standing up she hugs them, Ava hugs Jeffrey after he shakes William's hand and they both hug Emma. Jeffrey goes back to playing after they leave.
After William and Ava get home, they unload the car and then help Emma with bed. When they're finally alone, William pulls her into his arms. "You don't think they realize the wedding plan were just an excuse?" He asks, slowly moving his hands over her back.
"I'm pretty sure Sam suspected but I doubt my Dad did unless Sam says something to him."
"You mean…." William looks at her, sort of shocked.
"Relax I'm fairly certain that they've slipped out of a party early to be together."
"But I'm not comfortable with your Dad knowing we…."
"I'm fairly certain he knows what we do, so relax." She says, laughing softly.
She leans up to kiss him softly, distracting him from his train of thought. "I think we better enjoy this time before he comes." She asks, teasing his lower lips with small nips before moving her tongue over to bite to erase the sting.
He follows her, kissing as she sighs softly. She wraps her arms around his waist as she moans softly. He moves one working his way down to her neck, stopping to gently kiss the pulse pounding at the base of her throat. She buries her fingers in his hair and holds him to her for a moment before he steps back and leads her up the stairs to their room. He leads her over to their bed and her to lay down across the bed. He leans over her, kissing her upper chest and the valley between her breasts. Leaning back, he looks down slowly running his eyes over her face. "You're beautiful, do you realize that?"
She smiles as she leans up to kiss him, slowly running a hand up his back and burying her fingers in his hair and pulling him down to her. Wrapping her arms around his neck as she kisses him and he reaches around slipping his hands underneath her to unfasten her bra before he tugs her shirt up. Tossing it behind him, he reaches for her bra. Brushing it off her shoulders as he again moves from her mouth to her neck and then down, laying little kisses across her upper chest and between her breasts as she arches her back, offering herself to him as he closes his mouth around her nipple, gently caressing her.
She sighs, burying her hands in his hair as she arches her back again. For a few seconds, he stays there, loving her gently. Her complete attention is focused on what he's doing with his mouth so she's not expecting it when he reaches over and begins caressing her other breast. "William." She moans. She feels the fire of passion flowing through her, deepening her breathing, her heart pounding against her chest.
Reaching down, she grabs a hold of the comforter beneath them as he moves down her body, laying gentle kisses on her stomach as he reaches for and unbuttons her pants before he tugs on the zipper. When he's through, she lifts her hips and he pulls them down. Sitting up, he kneels over her. Slowly running his eyes over her body he watches her react to him. Reaching out, he moves his hands over her body, stopping a few seconds to caress her breasts, looking up when she sucks in a breath. "Did I hurt you?" He whispers.
"No." she whispers, feeling the waves of desire wash over her.
Leaning over her, he kisses her as he moves his hand down her stomach, gently caressing her growing stomach. She is innately aware of his hand resting at her waist when he stops. Reaching for him, she tugs on his shirt. Sitting up, he reaches up and pulls his shirt over his head, tossing it to the floor as she moves her hands down his chest, caressing him. She pause for a moment before teases his belly button, playing with him. He looks down and smiles, watching her while she moves her hands over his body. She looks up and smiles. "I love you." He says, leaning over her.
She lets him kiss her for a moment before she whispers. "I love you too."
Reaching for her panties, he pulls them down as she lifts her hips. Again they get toss to the floor with the rest of their clothing before he lies down beside her. Lifting his hips he pulls his pants and boxers down. Kicking them to the floor before he lies one leg across hers as he reaches up and buries one hand in her hair as he kisses her deeply. After a few minutes, he moves his hand down her neck, lightly caressing the outside curve of her right breast and he feels her shiver. He moves on until he reaches her waist, laying his hands on her hip he breaks the kiss, looking down at her. After a few seconds, she looks up at him. "William, please." She sighs. Leaning over, he kisses her as he moves his hand, slipping it between her thighs and laying it on top of her desire. "Please." She whimpers.
The moment he touches her he knows she is desperate. Gently he begins, listening to her. Slipping a couple fingers inside her. She leans up and kissing him, as he wraps his arms around her, moving closer she rocks her hips against his. Feeling his desire pressing against hers makes her want him more than ever. Breaking the kiss, he gasps. "Wait, Ava."
She looks at him, watching him fighting for control but she can't wait. She wants him. Reaching for him, she wraps her hand around him, squeezing gently before she moves her hand over him, caressing his desire. "Ava, please." He groans, completely aware of her and what she's doing. Smiling, she leans over him. Kissing him but refusing to move her hand. "Please! I'm going to loose it." He whispers
That plea broke her. Leaning over her, he rolls her to her back. Leaning up on his elbows, he looks down, watching as he slips inside her. "Oh!" She gasps, as he leans over her.
Kissing her softly as he moves slowly, giving her time to adjust. He knows the moment she's ready and he responds by moving a little faster, He thrusts deeper. "William!" She gasps, her grip on his hips tightening as she pulls him into her. Closing her eyes and giving into the desire filling her, she wraps her arm around him, holding him tightly. Her release comes for nowhere, "Oh!" she cries, filling the waves wash over her. "William." She gasps, as he thrusts and residual waves of desire sweep over her.
Laying his head against hers, his breath feels cool against her body while he relishes the feel of her loosing control. He kisses her as he thrusts again. He thrusts until he feels his own surrender. As the last wave of desire sweeps over him, he feels it sweep over her again and he smiles at her soft moan. Rolling to his side, he brings her with him. Cradling her in his arms as he lightly kisses her.
It's almost midnight before everyone leaves Sam and Jeffrey's. When Jeffrey lies down, Sam turns to him. Lifting his arm, he lets her snuggle up against him. "Did you enjoy today?"
"Yes. It was nice to have everyone here but I was surprised that Ava and William left so early"
"They had wedding…." She looks at him. "What?"
"You can't seriously believe they left to take care of details for the wedding on Christmas Day? Exactly how would they do that?" Sam asks, watching him.
"Oh… Oh! You really didn't need to put that thought into my head." He says, shivering beside her.
She looks at him and smiles. "What are you going to do when it's this one?"
"You think it's a girl. I thought you believed it was a boy."
"I do. I'm just saying it could surprise us and what are you going to do then?"
"I'll lock her in her room until she's too old…." She lightly slaps his chest.
"You can't lock her in her room." She says, as he leans in to kiss her. He pulls back after a moment and she says "They didn't seem nervous about next week."
"You say that like you were nervous about marrying me?"
"I wouldn't say I was nervous. It was more like I was anxious to marry you. I had been away from you for too long and I wanted you with me. I didn't want to wait."
"Me neither." He says, turning his head and kissing her forehead. "I'm glad Marah came."
"Me too, I think the awkwardness is working itself out."
"I think so too. At least I hope she knows that she doesn't have to avoid me because of our past relationship."
"I think Julien's convinced her of that. I think he's the reason she came today."
"I was a little surprised by that."
"I think they're cute together." Sam says, snuggling deep into him.
"You're tired, so go on to sleep."
"I don't want to. I want to lay here and snuggle with you and him."
"How is he doing?" Jeffrey asks, laying his hand on her stomach. He feels a kick against his hand. He gently rubs his hand over her stomach as he whispers. "It's alright son." Their son pushes back against his hand. "Shhh." Jeffrey whispers, still caressing Sam's stomach.
"He's settling down but he was excited all day. I think he's going to be super excited for Christmas every year."
"His daddy loved Christmas when he was a kid."
"You don't love it now?"
"I'm beginning to again, but for the last few years, no I haven't had much Christmas spirit. Its part of the reason Marah and I got together, although that was over New Years, but still I haven't really wanted to celebrate Christmas or any holiday."
"Can I ask you something?" She asks, as she draws little designs on his chest."
"Sure." He says, running his fingers through her hair.
"When I was gone, did you think about me on my birthday?"
"Of course I did, that's usually when I tried to push you to the back of my mind most. We always spent our birthdays together, alone usually. And I loved thinking about those days, but on the other hand it hurt too much and usually at that point is when I would look for some way to distract me from the pain."
She softly kisses his chest. "I know what you mean. I was always withdrawn more on your birthday. When I was in school, I buried myself in homework after I graduated I tried to pull twenty four hour shifts, just so I wouldn't be alone to remember. Sometimes it worked, but most of the time even if I was on a shift, it was there in the back of my mind and I would find myself thinking about you."
"I'm sorry Beca."
"You don't have anything to be sorry for. I did…."
"Neither one of us are responsible for what Sasha told you. But I hate that you were hurting and I wasn't there to make it better."
She pulls away and leans up to look at him. "You were hurting more. You thought I was dead. I could've taken that pain away from you."
"You were protecting…."
"I thought I was protecting you, at least at first."
When she's quiet for a few moments, he says. "What else did you want to say?"
She sighs before she lies down beside him again, snuggling into him. He lets her hide for a moment more before he says. "What are you thinking?"
She's still quiet and he's about to ask her again when she says. "I think I stayed away because I was afraid of how you would react? We promised…."
"We promised to protect each other. That's what you did."
"When she came to me that morning, yes I was protecting you. But afterwards it was fear that kept me from telling you I was alive. And I think I was afraid because I thought you believe what I told you in that note. I should've known that you didn't. You knew me then and now."
"I did, that's why I know that you wouldn't maliciously set out to hurt me. You were protecting me and I love you because you made an extremely hard decision and even though we promised to protect each other if our covers were ever blown, I don't know that I could've walked away from you. That took strength. And we don't know how we would've ended up. We might've broken up, we might've stayed together. "
"So you're saying…."
"I'm saying that we don't know what could've happened and that there might've been another reason for us to be apart. We have each other now and that's all that I want." He says, kissing the top of her head.
"It's all I care about too." She says, leaning up to kiss him.
Reaching for her, he pulls her up until she's lying on top of him. He tries to wraps his arms around her but she pulls away. "What are you doing?"
"I want to hold you. " He says, trying to pull her back into his arms.
"J, I can't lay like this. It…."
"Alright." He says, realizing that holding her the way he was, was hurting her. Pushing up, she kneels over him.
Settling his hands on her lower hips, he slowly moves his thumbs back and forth across her skin. Tiny sparks of light flash through her with each caress. He looks up and smiles at her. Leaning in, she kisses him softly, teasing his lower lip until he opens his mouth to her. After several seconds, he pulls back and looks as he says. "Merry Christmas, Mrs. O'Neill."
"Merry Christmas J." She kisses him again before she lays down again, snuggling into his side.
Julien comes out of the bathroom. Stopping he stares at Marah. "What are you doing?" He asks.
"I wanted to say thank you for taking me over to Jeffrey and Sam's." She says, as she leans up.
"I appreciate the thought, but you don't have to thank me. I'll do whatever I can to make you happy."
"So, you're not happy to find me lying in our bed without a stitch of clothes on?" She asks, watching him swallow.
"No, I mean yes. I mean I love having you in our bed without stitch of clothing. I'm just surprised." He says, dropping the towel in his hand as he steps towards the bed.
She holds up her hand and he stops. "You're over dressed." She says glancing at the towel wrapped around his hips.
He looks down and then back to her before he pulls the towel free. Closing the distance between them, he kneels over her, kissing her as she reaches up. Laying her hand along his jaw, she clings to him as he nips at her lower lip. Opening her mouth, she deepens the kiss as he moves onto the bed and she lays back.
Shivering, she turns her head and kisses him, pouring all of her desire for him into that kiss. He leans back while moving his eyes over her body. She feels the heat radiating from him. His gaze is hot with passion, reaching out he touches her gently. The moment she feels his touch, she needs him so badly that her body aches for him. Leaning up, she reaches for his lips.
Pushing against his chest until he lies down beside her and she straddles him. For several seconds she sits there, her hands braced against his chest, watching him struggle to control his desire. He reaches out for her, his hands at her waist. He pulls her against him, gasping when their bodies touch. Looking down at him, she smiles but she makes no move to do anymore. "You're driving me crazy." He whispers, his body shifting beneath hers.
"I know." She says, still refusing to do more though her body cries out for him.
"Marah." He gasps, soaking up the heat that radiates from her.
"What do you want?" She asks softly
"I want you." He says, pulling her down. His mouth searching for hers while he wraps his arms around her, holding her in place and refusing to allow her to move away. After a couple of seconds, he lifts her up reaching for her, his mouth closes around her nipple.
"Julien!"
For several minutes, he focuses solely on her and bringing her as much pleasure as he can. She finally moves away. Reaching down she slowly scratches her way across his chest. She feels the goose bumps pop across his chest while desire burns hotter in both of them. She stares down at him as her hand slips between his thighs, holding his desire in the palm of her hand gives her such a rush of desire that she moans softly and he smiles. Reaching up, he lightly caresses her cheek. He sees the desire flashing in her eyes but he makes no move towards her. Instead he asks, "What do you want?
She stares at him for a couple of seconds before she lies across his chest. She lightly kisses him, before she leans back and looks down at him. It takes no more than that to motivate him. Sitting up and pulling her to him, he holds her close as he positions his body beneath hers, slipping inside her. Lying back, he feels her surrender to him. Slowly she moves against him, pushing them higher and higher before both of their bodies surrender to the others "Marah." He sighs, when she collapses into his waiting arms.
