Chapter 19
Boston The Quinn Residence
Josef handed his hat to Harrison. "Good day sir?"
Josef smiled "I great day thank you Harrison," Josef strode into the parlour where Elizabeth was sat finishing her knitting.
"I have news from Colorado Springs," Josef held up a telegram.
Elizabeth's head snapped up and she waited expectantly. She had miss her daughter so much and with little post and the odd telegram just didn't substitute a daughters presence.
"Well...What does it say?" Elizabeth waited but Josef just stood there with a smile on his face. "The suspense is killing me Josef. Will you just tell me the news already?" she said with a touch of desperation to her voice.
Josef knew he had tormented his wife enough. Years of marriage to Elizabeth taught him that if he continued it wouldn't end well for him. He took a seat in the chair opposite Elizabeth.
"Michaela writes that she wishes us to come to Colorado Springs so they can set a date for the wedding," He grinned.
Elizabeth sat back in her chair and placed her hands in her lap but was silent with a expression that Josef just couldn't read. He worried that she was going to object to the wedding again. Well it was too late for that now he thought. Michaela was a strong stubborn woman just like her mother.
"Well when shall we start making travel plans?" Josef said.
Again Elizabeth was still silent. Josef decided to change tack ticks he knelt down as Elizabeth's feet resting his hands over hers. "Elizabeth did you hear me?"
Tears pooled in Elizabeth's eyes. "Elizabeth what's wrong?" He worried.
"She's getting married! Our little Michaela is getting married. I thought this day would never come but here it is," she sighed with a slight smile to her lips.
Josef comforted Elizabeth by kissing the back of her hand. "Well the day has come,"
"I just always thought it would be here in Boston," Elizabeth dried an errant tear with the back of her hand.
"She's where she belongs and she's staring a new life with the man she loves," Josef smiled.
Suddenly an idea came to Elizabeth. "We'll then we shall take Boston to Michaela! She deserves a piece of home with her on her wedding day," She said excitedly and stood up and began to pace making her plans. Josef looked on slightly worried.
Colorado Springs, The small homestead
Sully walked up the dusty path towards the homestead. The day was warm and fresh and all he could think of was spending the afternoon with Michaela. He stopped his work on the homestead for the afternoon unable to concentrate it seemed to be happening a lot recently. Luckily he was almost finished building the homestead all that was left were fixtures and finishing the furniture.
He stopped just before the homestead. Michaela was in the yard hanging up washing. He just stood and watched her for a while. She had changed he thought to himself. This was a far cry from Boston and Michaela had never hung washing out in Boston let alone cook, clean and help to raise three children. But here she was in Colorado carving out a new life for them. She had sacrificed so much for him. A twinge of guilt hit him but he shook it away. He hadn't forced Michaela to come to Colorado Springs she came because she wanted to be here and be here with him and share a life together and to love each other for the rest of their lives.
He couldn't resist her anymore and swiftly made his way to her. She had her back to him and didn't even here his quiet approach until his arms came around her from behind. At first she was shocked but recognised his arms and his voice that was soft and warm in her ear.
"Come spend the afternoon with me?" He could feel her lush body the whole length of him and it felt amazing and incredibly distracting. He dipped his head so that his lips could touch the soft skin of her neck. And because he couldn't stop there he kissed a trail of warm kisses to her ear and gave the area a little nibble. This was probably the most daring he had ever been with her.
Michaela swallowed hard. Her body had a mind of its own, liquid fire licked its way through her body making her hot and restless. His body was wrapped around her from behind. His arms snaked around her waist and his fingers were starting to caress her.
"Sully...we shouldn't be doing this," She struggled to find her voice to speak while he was seducing her with kisses.
Sully didn't answer he just unwound one of his arms from around her waist and brushed her beautiful long hair to the side so that the back of her neck was exposed. He kissed the newly exposed skin and Michaela's knees turned to water and nearly gave way if Sully hadn't been holding her securely. He had never kissed her like this before and her heart was hammering so hard she thought it might burst out of her chest if she didn't know any better thanks to her medical training.
"Where are the children?" He asked.
"Umm... They...they went swimming just before you arrived,"
He spun her around to face him but kept her body flush to his. "So we're all alone?" He grinned.
He was so handsome she thought, her stomach gave a little flip. She reached up and ran her thumb over his bottom lip. His bottom lip was so full and willing to be kissed. With that she brought his head down to hers in a bold movement.
Sully's hands caressed her back through the light fabric of her blouse. His hands ventured lower to her hips and pulled her impossibly closer.
Michaela involuntary moaned into their heated kiss. Her arms wrapped around his neck pressing herself close. Her body gravitated towards him without her even thinking.
Sully knew he should stop now but he just couldn't, not yet. This felt wonderful, she felt wonderful. Her response to his kiss was more than he could ever wish for. He had been dreaming about them being together for some time and in his dreams Michaela never reacted with this much enthusiasm as she was currently showing.
His right hand moved towards the front of her blouse and gave her a small caress there. Her body shuddered against him. He undid the first couple of buttons on her blouse exposing her throat and a small portion of her chest. He broke their kiss to now explored the newly exposed skin.
Michaela's hands were in the waves of his hair caressing his scalp. She was well past the point of coherent thought. She dragged his mouth back to hers. Then Sully sweeped her up into his strong arms and carried her inside.
He placed her on to the bed and leaned over her all the while kissing her willing mouth. His hands caressing her and kindling the fire between them.
She had never felt this before. She had always enjoyed Sully's kisses and had wondered what relations would be like between a man and woman but nothing had prepared her for this. She felt a delicious heat in her body and she craved more but a larger part of her knew this wasn't the time to be with Sully that way, no matter that she would feel bereft when he moved away from her body.
With that thought she pulled away from their kiss and held his face in her hands. "Sully...we need to stop," Her chest heaved as she tried to catch her breath. Sully was in a similar state; he was breathing hard and was trying to recover his bearings.
"Your right...I want our wedding night to be your first time," He smile slightly but feeling incredibly uncomfortable.
Michaela blushed wildly and buried her head into his shoulder. He squeezed her once before he moved off of her and sat on the edge of the bed. He rubbed his hands over his face in an attempt to calm his desire. He turned to look at her still led on the bed doing up the top button of her blouse. It took all his will power to not kiss her senseless again. Instead he stood up and poured himself a glass of water. He downed it in one thinking of mundane things to help him relax. He started to feel better and Michaela was now straightening her hair in the mirror.
"Shall we go?" He said sounding more unaffected than he was.
"Where?" She turned and faced him.
"I got someone I want ya to meet," With a smile he held out his hand to her.
She upturned the corner of her mouth and wondered if she would ever resist that smile of his?
