Chapter 3
"Comfort"
Scarlett needed at that moment to feel something real, not tainted by the outside world. She felt in that moment a kiss was the most real thing she could feel. She was surprised by her own actions as much as Rhett was. She kissed him, passionately. She let all of the world fall away. She let worry, anger, sorrow and uneasiness float out of her heart. Rhett could feel her release solely to him and it stirred him. He had never felt Scarlett completely give herself to him. Ashley Wilkes had captured his wife's heart and mind for over a decade, he had known no other. He kissed her back with all the passion kept hidden since their marriage. He wanted to show her how loving and tender he could be but a staircase was no proper place.
Rhett broke the kiss and looked into his wife's lovely wet face. Her eyes sparkled like a million stars, he was enraptured. He grabbed Scarlett's hand and gave her a questioning look. She nodded to him, in acknowledgement. That's all he needed, Rhett swiftly and with ease lifted Scarlett up and carried her sanctuary. This has once been their bedroom but not for a long time. He felt trepidation entering but with a squeeze of his shoulder by Scarlett gave him the courage. Upon entering the bedroom Rhett gingerly laid Scarlett on their bed. Scarlett laid there gazing upon Rhett's face and felt butterflies. She was ready and willing to fully accept him in her heart, mind, body and soul. There was a pause on both parts; each thinking the ramifications of the next move but Scarlett soon knelt on the bed and cupping his face with her hands kissed him once again. She did this to ease Rhett's mind and to communicate with him. She wanted him to know she didn't regret what was about to happen and that she wanted to relieve his worries. Rhett understood and began to undo the buttons on the back of her blue satin dress. It was a simple but elegant dress chosen wisely for the Rutherford's' party.
Shortly Scarlett discarded Rhett's cravat and stiff white shirt. There stood Rhett is all his naked glory, his entire chest exposed. Scarlett had never really studied Rhett's body before seeing it has unlady like but Scarlett felt bold tonight. She bravely racked her eyes across his body, taking in his muscles, torso and strong shoulders. While Scarlett was studying him, Rhett had removed her corset and other remedial items of clothing till she was only in her chemise. Scarlett knew she should feel uncomfortable or embarrassed but no such emotion arose. She was with her husband; a man who she had come to realize was the only man for her. She didn't feel embarrassed because only he would ever see her like this and she wasn't ashamed.
Before long there were no clothes separating their two bodies. Rhett began to plant sweet kisses on Scarlett's neck and collar bone. She moaned with pleasure and he began to nibble on her ear lobe. She could feel his hot breath on her skin and it made her shiver. Oh god, how it felt to have his hands on her body and his breath on her skin. She had missed him tremendously and needed him desperately.Rhett could feel his pent up desires breaking the dam inside till he could no longer control himself. He had wanted Scarlett for so long that now he had, it was everything he wanted and more.
That night Scarlett and Rhett became one, no longer two separate people but one entity. Exploding passion occurred that completely encompassed them. Rhett and Scarlett knew nothing other than each others body. Both gave into their desires and took it slow, each wanted the night to last forever. They had made love over and over again. Each more sensual then last and their love grew over the course of the night and into the early morning. The next morning they lay wrapped in each others body and mangled sheets at the end of the bed. Scarlett woke just as the sun was rising and looked her left to find her handsome husband's face. She smiled to herself and counted her blessings that she had him, forever. Her mind ran the details of last night over in her head and she was amazed at the passion. She felt the heat in her body rise just thinking about his body inside her. Her mind lingered on the time right before the two fell asleep after a bout of lovemaking.
Scarlett was tracing Rhett's muscles remembering the feel and direction in which they were placed. Rhett was combing his hands through her raven locks. Suddenly he spoke, his voice thick with drowsiness.
"Scarlett… there is something I need to tell you…"
