Note: Hi everyone! Sorry about the teasing in the last chapter. I did it for a few reasons. First, I wanted to find a way to incorporate the snow globe before a special moment. Second, I wanted to show that Sue was mature enough to have adult thoughts and feelings instead of just jumping into something due to the heat of the moment. I think it would go against her character to rush into things without thinking, and over thinking everything! Hopefully this is the chapter you have been waiting for. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for reading and reviewing!
Sean leaned against the bedroom door after closing it and took a deep breath. Thoughts were rushing through his head. He wondered if Sue meant what he thought she meant. Clear communication wasn't always their strongest trait as a couple, especially before they became one. He thought about how close they had been in recent weeks to taking the next step. He thought about the solitude of the rural cabin and the woods surrounding them. He wondered if she was prepared, physically. He remembered that he was always prepared these days. His medical school was always lecturing about personal protection, and handed out 'samples' of small, foil wrapped packages with the school logo on it which he recently began carrying around in his pocket just in case. He snapped back to reality when Sue reached up to kiss him tenderly on the lips. He closed his eyes and moved his hands to cradle her face. He felt her part her lips slightly and he deepened the kiss in response. He kissed her slowly, taking time to enjoy the moment. Sue wrapped her arms around his torso. Usually there was a sense of urgency when they kissed, but this time, it was different. This time, they weren't trying to make up for lost time. They were just two people who were in love.
Sue broke away for a moment and looked into Sean's eyes with a loving smile on her face. She once again took his hand and led him to the bed. He followed her willingly, going wherever she wanted to take him. She laid down on the bed, propping herself up with a few soft pillows. Sean stood next to the bed, waiting for a signal. Sue opened her arms wide, inviting him to come closer to her. He smiled and gently crawled on top of her, carefully placing his knees between her legs. He placed his hands on the bed to keep his weight off of her and leaned down to kiss her again. They kissed each other slowly for a while, before Sue began to quicken the pace. Sean's heart was beating quickly and he exhaled sharply, returning her kiss feverishly. Sue wrapped her legs around Sean's body, pulling him closer to her. Sue grabbed the bottom of Sean's shirt and pulled it over his head in one quick motion. She slid her hands along his smooth chest and stomach. She tugged at his belt as she had done in the past, but this time succeeded without interruption. She undid the button of his jeans and lowered the zipper. She partially expected there to be an interruption but it did not happen. Sean wiggled his hips and his jeans slid down to his knees, revealing his blue, striped boxers. At that moment, Sean broke away from the kiss and leaned up to look into Sue's eyes. She bit her lip nervously, expecting that he thought they were moving too quickly, but he no longer appeared to be nervous. He took a few deep breathes to calm himself before speaking. "Are you sure?" he asked, his voice full of concern and love for her. Sue smiled and lightly touched his face. "I'm sure." She responded. "Are you?" She asked him, her eyes accidentally leaving his face and scanning his body before returning to his eyes. "I think you know the answer to that." He chuckled as he moved a stray hair away from her eyes. "I love you." He said with a smile. "I love you too." She responded. Sue pulled him closer to her once again and kissed him softly. Sean began to remove her clothes, piece by piece, asking with his eyes at each step to make sure it was okay. When finally, there was nothing left between them, they spent a few moments just savoring the skin on skin contact, neither of them ever being this close to anyone in the past. Sean reached for his crumbled up jeans and reached his hand into the pocket. Sue heard a crinkling sound and suddenly everything felt very real, but she was ready. Sean kissed her softly and lowered himself into position. Sue's dream finally became reality, and it was even better than she had ever imagined.
Sue felt the warmth of the sun shining through the bedroom window the next morning. She squinted her eyes as she opened them to adjust to the morning light. She was wrapped in a comfy down comforter, her head resting on a fluffy pillow. She felt the slight movement of fingers on her bare torso when suddenly, the events of the past night rushed through her head. Sean's lips on her lips. His hands on her body. Their first time. She sighed a content sigh and placed her hand on top of Sean's on her stomach. He shifted slightly at her touch and let out a sleepy yawn. She was amazed at how comfortable she felt in this position, despite the fact that she could feel all of him against the back of her body. She wondered how he was feeling and hoped that he was as happy as she was. He squeezed her slightly and placed a soft kiss on the back of her head.
"Good morning." Sean said, his voice still raspy from sleeping. Sue turned around to face him, still covered by the warm blanket. She placed her hand on his chest and rested her head on his shoulder. She leaned forward to kiss him on the lips, the front of her body slightly brushing his skin. Sean made a pleased "mmm" sound and smiled widely.
"Good morning." Sue said finally, tracing her finger along his ribs.
"Last night was...wow." Sean said, looking into her eyes. His eyes were still heavy with sleep.
"It was literally like a dream come true." Sue said with a small laugh, thinking about the dream she had the previous day. She didn't want to tell him the details of the dream right now. Some things are better left unsaid, she thought. She even pinched herself a few times just to make sure that this time, it was real.
Sean was happier than he ever thought he could be. After a year of chasing after the girl of his dreams, he still couldn't believe that she was finally his. Everything seemed to click into place between them very quickly, and he knew that he wanted to be with her for a long time, maybe even forever. He had imagined the kind of girl he would marry one day, and still kicked himself for not noticing Sue right under his nose for so long. But that didn't matter now. And it was too soon to think about marriage, even though it stayed on the back of his mind. He flashed back to the present, giving Sue another squeeze before speaking.
"So, Suzy Q." He cleared his throat of its morning hoarseness. "We never talked about what else you'd like to do this weekend. There are some activities nearby, we could go sledding, go out to eat, play some games in the lodge, whatever you want to do." He said. Sue shifted her eyes slightly, thinking about what he had said. She loved all of the things he mentioned, but wanted to spend this weekend in a different way.
"Hmm.." She said, still pondering. "Or we would stay in." She said with a mischievous smile. He grinned at her and quickly pulled her on top of him.
"I like the way you think." He said before kissing her passionately. They spent the rest of their weekend, expressing their love for one another, savoring every second of their time together.
