Once again I want to remind everone that this story is rated M for mature. Please Heed this warning!

Flames suck...and I hate them. But I love reviews!

With that out of the way, here's the next chapter!

Adam closed the door and locked it. He had made the sure the kids were in bed and even now he could hear the TV going….it was something he didn't really mind.

Tanya sat on the bed deep in thought. She hadn't known Terra or Kim for long…but she sensed somehow that something was off. The way the young girl had acted tonight seemed strangely familiar…

"Tanya?"

The former yellow ranger snapped out of her thoughts to see Adam kneeling in front of her. She looked down.

"I'm sorry Adam…I didn't mean to ignore you. What were you saying?"

The black Ninjetti looked at her with concern in his gorgeous dark eyes. "Is something wrong?" he asked as he lovingly began to take her shoes off for her.

She watched for a second fascinated as he began massaging her feet.

"I don't know…I sense something is off…with Terra I mean." Adam was looking at her again. "I didn't sense anything. It may be one of those girl issues you women talk about. And sadly I have no experience with that sort of thing." He dropped his eyes back to her feet and began rubbing her legs.

What he was doing felt really good. Tanya felt her earlier thoughts fade away as she gave in to the attention Adam was giving her. She closed her eyes.

"Mmmm….that feels wonderful." she sighed as she closed her eyes. Adam had to act quickly to shove aside the thoughts that flooded his mind at hearing her moan. That sort of sound always turned him on.But no, he had resolved to control himself…Tanya wasn't ready just yet. And he was willing to wait for her…there was no rush…but the desire was there.

Adam mentally shook himself as he concentrated on her other leg. Those legs were so smooth…Adam allowed himself to kiss the inside her leg and just that small pleasure he allowed himself didn't seem enough to him…he wanted so much more…

Adam looked up to see Tanya looking back at him. She was watching him but she looked strangely relaxed. Adam went back to massaging her leg.

Tanya could feel her conflicted thoughts slip away at her boyfriend's touch. The way he touched her. It was so soft and gentle… not rushed…not hungrily…this she suddenly realized was passion…passion mixed with love.

At that thought she suddenly felt guilty…he was treating her like royalty…and she had yet to reciprocate…he deserved to feel the same kind of attention he was showing her as he yet again placed another tender kiss…this time lingering before looking up at her again.

Tanya smiled down at him. "Your so good to me. And I love you for it."

Adam smiled up at her. "You deserve it. You have no idea how long I've wanted you to myself. And now that I have that chance…I want to make the most of it."

Tanya hadn't expected this admission on his part. And she wasn't sure how to respond to such honesty. So she watched as his hands drifted farther up her legs. He paused as he reached her thighs…then he stopped himself. And looked up at her his eyes had darkened considerately…and he looked conflicted.

"I better go get ready for bed." And he got up and walked to the bathroom.

Tanya watched him go. She realized after a moment that he was holding himself back. Respecting her desire to wait. It had to be torturing him.

Numbly she got up and hurried to get into her pajama's.

Adam closed his eyes as he bent over the sink…willing his arousal to go away. This was torture for him. When his eyes glanced to that spot between her thighs…the one spot that he had never touched…he wanted so badly to show it attention…that was why he was in the condition he was now.

How in the hell was he to control himself when he was in such close proximity to her…forbidden fruits. He couldn't deny that he wanted to…. No…I can't think like that. She deserves better…she's not ready…damn it. He looked down to find he was even more aroused then before. He frowned when he realized that there was only one way to make it go away now.

Tanya sat in bed waiting for him…he had been in there for a while…and it was really quiet in the room. She lay back against the headboard and was soon deep in thought herself.

He was being so good to her and she so badly wanted to alleviate his frustration. But she wasn't sure she was ready…she knew that sex was a natural activity…but she wasn't sure she could handle it. It even frightened her a little.

But then her thoughts shifted back to the man who was no doubt trying to get rid of all the tension he was feeling…and conflict.

And he's doing it all for me. All because I told him that I wasn't ready yet…

Oh Adam.

When she realized how much the ninja was sacrificing…all for her, she suddenly felt her heart flood with love...undying love for him. Her heart was bursting now. And suddenly she wanted to repay him…show him how much she loved him.

She trusted him…and loved him. But did she have the courage to take that step and give herself to him. There would be no turning back.

Suddenly she heard the door opened and Adam walked out flushed in the face. After a minute he made eye contact with her…and flashed a smile her way.

Tanya wasn't fooled…not for a second.

"Adam?"

He didn't look at her as he slid under the covers with his back to her.

Tanya looked at his back… and she gingerly reached out a hand…and stroked it.

Adam started as he felt her touch but then willed himself to remain still.

"Adam?"

The black ninja closed his eyes taking a deep breath and then turned over to face the love of his life.

She was looking at him steadily and was nibbling on her bottom lip.

"Is everything okay?"

"No. I don't think it is."

Concern shot through him as he looked at the former yellow ranger.

"What is it?"

Tanya seemed to hesitate for a minute. "I haven't been fair to you." At Adam's look of confusion she continued. "You've been so sweet to me. Respecting my wishes…treating me like royalty. Holding your self back…not forcing me to have sex with you."

Realization dawned on his handsome face.

"I don't want force you into anything. It's dishonorable."

"I know. But I can't help feeling that you deserve some thing in return."

"Your love is enough. Just being with you is enough for me."

Tanya bit her lip again.

"It means a lot to me. Respecting me this way. But I'm not being fair to you."

Adam looked at her steadily…unsure how to respond to her words.

"Tanya. I love you more than you can know. That is why I am waiting. One day I want to make love to you. To finally express in more than just words what I feel for you. I already have your heart…and that is enough for me."

Tanya seemed to think it over for a few minutes as several expressions flashed across her face.

"I want to give myself to you. But…"

Adam sat up in bed and looked at her.

"I would never hurt you. I've never slept with anyone before. Not the whole time you were away. I know as much about this as you do. I would be at your mercy as much as you would be at mine."

Tanya looked at him in surprise. "Adam…I hardly know what to say. I."

"You're the only woman I ever loved. When you left for Nashville it killed me. There were plenty of women at the hospital that flirted with me…but I could never love them… you see… you stole my heart. It's always been yours."

Tanya was speechless.

She took a deep breath which seemed really ragged to her.

"Adam…I want to give myself to you. I want to take the next step."

"Are you sure about that?"

Tanya bit her lip. And then seemed to come to a decision. "I trust you Adam. And…I want this."

Adam hesitated a second before he gathered Tanya in his arms and pressed a kiss to her lips.

The kiss seemed so different from the ones they had shared before…this seemed so much more heated…so wonderful to her and she wanted more.

She pressed back the kiss in the same tentativeness he was showing her. And suddenly felt a tiny jolt…this was so new for her. And the yellow ranger liked it…a lot.

Adam pulled away…breaking the kiss. He smiled at her before gently kissing her again pressing her gently to the mattress…helping her slide down so she wouldn't hit her head.

Then after breaking the kiss he looked down at her hesitatingly and kissed her again…this time pressing gently against her lips with his tongue as if…

Tanya gently parted her lips and a second later she felt her lover gently explore her mouth and she loving stroked his tongue with hers and at the same time ran a hand through his hair.

Adam was euphoric as he finally got up the courage to slide a hand under her shirt and touch her belly before he gently crept up and for the first time made contact with the gentle swell of her breast.

The moment he touched her she stopped the kiss causing Adam to stop and look at her.

"Are you okay love?"

Tanya was silent for a second. "Yes…I'm okay."

Adam looked at her adoringly before lifting the hem of her pajama top again and touching her again…this time with little strokes around the tip.

He heard Tanya inhale sharply…but then when she didn't tell him to stop he gingerly pulled the top off her and for the first time saw her…

"Your even more beautiful then I imagined."

Tanya was watching him but said nothing. Adam seemed to hesitate less as he crawled ontop of her and dipped his head gently kissing her chest before he looked up at her again.

"If you get uncomfortable…stop me."

At her nod his mouth descend gently covering her soft mound with the heat of his mouth. And then she felt the roughness of his tongue stroke the tip…causing her to moan softly.

There was that moan again…Adam suddenly felt his blood rush south again causing him to take another deep breath. He wanted to make this first time special for her. He took another deep breath before descending onto her other soft swell. Gently showing it the same attention as he did it's twin.

That was when he felt her shiver for the first time. And he had to take another breath. Before he broke the contact and found his way to her mouth.

"I can't get enough of you." he said before pressing another heated kiss to her lips.

When he broke the kiss again, she answered. "I'm yours…we have forever."

Adam was instantly flooded with warmth at her words and he pressed an even more passionate kiss to her mouth…that caused Tanya to shiver again and even whimper for the first time.

Tanya felt an explosion of nerves and suddenly she felt what had to be arousal in her lower regions and had to take a deep breath.

Adam broke the kiss again and left a small trail of heat to her neck where he found a sensitive spot and kissed it gently and then licked it to give her a subtle warning of what he was about to do.

Tanya was stroking his arms languidly and at the warning she braced herself…stopping her stroking and then a second later she felt his teeth clamp down and felt him suck at it.

Adam heard her inhale sharply and a second later released her. Before gently licking it again…trying to soothe the pain.

Adam felt her shudder a second time. But when she made no complaint he kissed her lips again before he shifted and made his way down her body coming to her chest again which he lavished with heated kisses before he travel lower and pressed a kiss to her slightly rounded belly.

That elicited another moan which encouraged him and he hesitated before finally dragging her pajama bottoms down to her thighs…

It was like he was in a dream…a very pleasant dream…one that he never wanted to wake up from.

Tanya's pulse raced as she felt air reach her most sacred feminine parts. It raced even faster as she felt Adam's fingers stroke the inside of her thighs. And she knew that the moment she had secretly fantasized was coming…

She gasped when she felt those same fingers dip gently inside of her…

"Adddamm." she whispered when he gently continued his probing.

The black Ninjetti inhaled a breath when he saw that she was ready for him. He sat back on his legs and watched her as he made quick work of his bottoms…displaying himself in all his glory to her.

Heat rushed to her face as she saw him…completely naked in front of her…words failed her.

Adam heart hammered in his chest as he crawled on top of her and placed himself at her entrance.

"I know this is gonna hurt…I'm sorry."

And then he gently pushed himself into her. He heard her sudden intake a breath and then a gasp as he took her.

A minute later he was buried inside of her.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

She nodded and he gave her a few moment to get used to him before he started a slow rhythm…making love to her…with all the gentleness and love he could muster.

Tanya was entranced at the fullness she felt as he slid into her again and again…he was so careful…so worried about hurting her. And just that made her fall more and more in love with him.

Damn, she felt so good. So soft and sweet and tight.

Heaven was theirs to take.

As the gentle rhythm changed to a faster pace, the room began to be filled with muffled moans and groans of pleasure that both hoped didn't carry into the kid's room next store.

The love making went on for several minutes more until finally, Tanya came violently with Adam following a minute later.

Gasping for several minutes afterwards they gazed at each other…with more love for each other.

Adam gently pulled himself out before collapsing next to Tanya who nestled next to him. 'I love you Adam…that was amazing"

"You were worth waiting for…I love you so much."

After Adam pulled the sheets over the both of them the two brand new lovers cuddled, basking in the after glow.

In the next room things were much different. Terra lay in her bed unable to sleep. They had just finished watching 'The Lion King'. it was the only movie they could all agree on.

But as the boys lay snoozing her mind was tormented with distorted images of herself and she couldn't forget what that girl had told her that day.

"You must be as blind as well as fat!"

Hot tears started building in eyes and then cascaded down her cheeks. And then she was silently sobbing.

A few feet from her in his bed TJ was in much the same state. He was overwhelmed with despair and his chest heaved with imaginary sobs. In the back of his mind he had no idea why he was crying…he had no reason to be upset.

And then suddenly he knew what the problem was and he reached down deep in side of himself…tapping in to his Ninjetti power and hurried to build a barrier shielding himself from his sisters thoughts and emotions.

After spending several minutes calming himself down he got up and went to his sister's bed. His heart wrenched to see his sister in the sobbing state she was in. She was a mess.

He gently sat on the side of her bed and touched the back of her head calling on his power again and taking a deep breath opened their link and before she could flood him with her depression he probed her mind and searched her thoughts to find out what was wrong.

In that instant he saw her step in front of him taking the hit that was meant for him…and he got angry and then a second later he heard the girl's voice..

"You must be as blind as well as fat!"

That thought hit him as hard as it hit her and he shut the link again…rebuilding his barrier.

His heart broke for his sister. And he found he couldn't speak so he got back in his bed and lay down.

He wanted to call his mom and ask her for advice…but he knew how late it must be…so he lay there…pondering what to do next.

From his cot Tyler watched his friends. He was too intrigued by what he saw. Then he remembered what TJ had told him about their Ninjetti link.

"When she's sick or upset I can sense and sometimes share the feelings…"

His brain was working furiously…trying to grasp the concept….and then he understood it all. Whatever was wrong with Terra, was affecting TJ. Putting them both in the same situation.

As far as he was concerned, TJ was at the moment helpless because of the link to his sister…so then, it would be up to him to help them and keep this wonderful vacation from turning into a nightmare.

But how?

As Tyler felt his sleepiness overcome him, he resolved to ask his dad for help the next morning..

That was his last conscious thought as he gave in to his sleep.

What did you think of this chapter? Let me know!

I hope to get another chapter up before Halloween, but if there is not, it's beacause I am hurrying to finish the prop building before the big night as well as the technical and lighting issues.
