About 3 months later. Emily's graduation night…
"So Miss Fields, how does it feel to be free of high school?" I say, sneaking up behind her and wrapping my arms around her waist
"Amazing, I'm finally away from all that drama…and I get to spend all my time with you." She replies, threading her fingers through mine
"Until you go to college"
"Yeah, until I go to college…" a hint of sadness creeps into her voice
I nip at her earlobe gently and kiss her neck, trying to distract her from such sad thoughts. Her head tilts to the side as she lets out a small groan and I swirl my tongue over her pulse point. In between kisses, I whisper "Would you like to get your presents now or later?"
"You got me presents!" She peers over her shoulder at me with a shocked expression
"Of course I got you presents"
I turn her around, and cupping her face gently, place a soft kiss upon her lips. She wraps her arms around my waist, pulling me closer. Her fingers slipping beneath my top to play along my lower back, then dip teasingly beneath my jeans to run along my hip. I shiver as little jolts of desire race over my skin and through my body, making my heart pound wildly. How does she manage to do that? She pulls back, a huge smile playing along her lips, and then she suddenly grows very serious. "You better have not spent a lot of money. I don't need expensive things to make me happy, I only need you."
"Yes, please"
"Okay, close your eyes and I'll be right back." She complies, and I walk to my bag and pull out a small, rectangular box. Moving back to her, I open the box, remove the item nestled inside and carefully clasp it around her neck. Perfect. The silver of the pendant contrast beautifully against her tan skin, and the diamonds in the stars sparkle flawlessly in the light, casting her face in an ethereal glow. It takes my breath and all I can do is stare at the woman before me. Oh, Emily…
"Can I open my eyes yet?"
"Hmm…Oh…yeah, go ahead and open them" I shack my head, coming back to reality
She opens her eyes, and gasps. "Samara…this is beautiful! I love it! But you really shouldn't have."
"Yes, I should have. You deserve this. It's the least I can do to show how much I care about and love you."
"There's other ways that you can show your love, you know" She says, a mischievous grin forming on her face.
I chuckle, "Oh poo, you figured out my second present already."
"Wait! What!" she spins around to face me, and raises her eyebrow questioningly
"I didn't say anything" I nip her neck gently, and slip my hand to run teasingly along her inner thigh before turning away and strolling to my bedroom. I hear footsteps following me, and a hand on my shoulder just as I reach the door.
"What's going on? You have that look in your eyes; I know you have something planned."
"Why don't you find out?" I open the door, ushering her inside, then close it firmly behind us. I turn to watch her reaction. The emotions run freely across her face; shock to disbelief to…love. Candles are placed strategically throughout the room, casting everything in a soft, warm glow. Lavender and vanilla scents fill the air, mingling with the low sounds of instrumental music. In the middle of all this, is the main attraction, an antique four-poster bed. A rich, deep purple down comforter is pulled back slightly to reveal the silk, violet sheets and two fluffy pillows are positioned neatly against the mahogany headboard. Rose petals lay scattered about the bed and floor.
Amazement fills her voice as she whispers, "You did this? For me?"
"Yeah, I did. Tonight is all about you and your pleasure. I wanted everything to be perfect, and now it is. So, I only have one question for you…"
"And what is that?"
"May I be your first?"
She presses her body firmly against mine and kisses me passionately. I deepen the kiss, her tongue sweeps across my lip, and I groan. I feel her smile, then she pulls back to look at me.
"Was that a yes?" I ask, as I catch my breath
"Hun, I want you to be the first and last woman to ever touch me. You're the only one that I'll ever want. Only you can make me feel this way. I love you with all my heart, Samara."
"I love you too, with every fiber of my being. I'm honored to be the only woman you want. Emily, you're the only one that makes my heart flutter, and the only person that makes me feel safe and loved beyond compare. I can be myself around you, and you accept me."
She captures my mouth in another kiss, and we move towards the bed. Only breaking contact when my knees bump into it and we fall onto the soft surface. I roll her over, and gaze into her eyes. A mixture of love and desire showing, and I know that they mirror my own.
I lean forward, and stop barely an inch from her lips and whisper "Ready?"
"Ready" she replies softly, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me down, successfully closing the gap between us.
AN: So, I hope you all enjoyed this update. I was originally going to include their love-making scene in this, but…I'm a tease, and am going to make you wait for chapter 5 lol :-)
