Chapter 2: Real Love

Still on Nassau in the Bahamas:

After a night of dinner, dancing, laughing, and having a wonderful time, Iris thought instead of walking on the beach, she decided they would role play.

Once back in their room, Barry was thoughtful but also worried. Role playing could be fun but it could also open up various parts of their personalities that may have been hidden from each other. But she seemed adamant that it would just be for fun and if things got out of hand, they could stop at any time.

Barry was tired; he just wanted to sleep, but he loved to hear Iris laugh and he craved her smiles. They brightened his mood when nothing else would. "Okay, who do you want to role play?"

Instead of answering him, she reached inside her bag and pulled out a pad and pen. Obviously prepared for their game, he frowned. "Who are you supposed to be exactly?" Then it dawned on him. "You're a reporter?"

"Yes and you will be," she hesitated.

"The Flash?" He asked and shook his head. "I get it."

"Come on, Barry; it'll be fun. I remember you told me that you went to the Flash museum and learned a lot about him, and I wanted to be a reporter a long time ago."

He sighed and wondered at her fixation about the Flash. "It wasn't that long ago. Alright, go ahead, ask away."

"How did you get your powers?" She sat down next to him practically in his lap but he didn't mind. He put his arm around her shoulder.

"Lightning struck me one night in my lab," he replied.

"Wow, you were struck by lightning and you survived; how extraordinary."

"Yes it was," he said already tired of this game.

"How fast can you run and what other superhuman things can you do. I have heard of a few?"

"Well, the Speed Force grants me, along with superhuman speed, being able to run faster than light and travel in the past or future under specific circumstances. I also have enhanced agility, can rapidly heal from wounds, and can vibrate my body to phase through objects."

Iris stared at him wide-eyed. "That's truly amazing."

"Yeah, it's pretty incredible," he said and stared at her. "Iris, he's not me."

"I know, but isn't this fun to think about how much he does for his Earth and," she stopped when Barry stood up and walked out onto the balcony.

She followed him. "It was a stupid game and I'm sorry if it upset you." She touched his shoulder. "Barry?"

He turned to her. "I'm sorry, Iris, I guess I'm not quite over this thing that happened between you two. I don't want to talk about them anymore."

"I understand, of course, but," she hesitated.

He frowned. "What is it?"

"The point I was trying to make with this role play is that we are similar but we are very different and do you know why?"

He knew the answer then put he put his arms around her waist. "Because of this, you and me, together, married and thinking about children and a future?"

"Exactly, and you shouldn't feel threatened when we talk about them." She paused. "I can remember the other one when he looked at me. He was thinking of her, not me; does that make sense?"

"Yeah, I think it does." He thought about it. "I don't think they're together, not like us."

"That makes me sad; I feel sad for them; they're missing out on a lot."

"Yeah, they are," he whispered and leaned down, eyes closed, and he kissed her sweetly, then she went into his arms holding him close. They kissed passionately never tiring of it. Without breaking the kiss, he picked her up and took her to their bedroom.

His lips wandered across her cheek to her ear as he murmured to her. "Don't think about anything … but this, you and me together like this, forever and ever," he said and kissed her sweet mouth slanting his mouth tasting her love and affection.

"Forever and ever," she managed to say between kisses. She kissed him back as her arms came around his shoulders to pull him closer. They undressed slowly loving the way they stared at each other enjoying it. Once her body was revealed to him, the familiar ache between his legs caused his heart to pound with need for his beautiful wife. Her long legs and beautiful breasts were a vision to him, but it was her eyes that beckoned to him right from the start.

She had to touch him as her hands were all over his chest and arms stroking him and demanding a response from him. His lips claimed hers yet again, his hands sought out her body and as their limbs entwined their hearts came together as well.

Barry was lost and then it was inside of her and it felt wonderful. She took his face between her palms and kissed him and then he began to move and it was amazing for both of them. She surrendered to him completely as she raised her arms and legs to pull him closer which wasn't close enough. And then his passion led her rapidly toward that crest and he was with her every step of the way as they came together, both crying out their pleasure.

A little while later, after they had cleaned up a bit, Iris wanted desperately to show her husband how much she means to him and he was always willing to pleasure her in that way and she saw no reason not to reciprocate. "Are you awake?"

He stroked her hair. "Something on your mind?"

For answer, she began at his throat, then his cheek and this mouth, then down his chest. "You could say that," she replied and continued on her way.

"Iris?" He asked and closed his eyes. Her lips were hot with tender fire as she stroked his penis with her hands, lips and tongue. Her mouth opened and then she licked and stroked his manhood and Barry was floating on a cloud of happiness; it felt so good. Iris loved doing this and she promised herself that she would do it more often.

Iris smiled at his expression and continued to pleasure him. His moans were just as loud as hers as she went on and on and Barry began to feel himself coming. He wanted to be inside of her more than anything, then he pulled her up and kissed her deeply, his tongue diving into the sweet cavern of her mouth repeatedly until Iris felt as if she were going to swoon. "Oh Barry, please," she asked begging for it.

Then he was inside of her then he began to move and it was amazing for both of them. She surrendered to him completely as she raised her arms and legs to pull him closer which wasn't close enough. And then his passion led her rapidly toward that crest and he was with her every step of the way as they came together, both crying out their pleasure.

He pulled her closer, stroked her hair and smiled. "Iris, I wanted to thank you for opening my eyes about our life together. I feel very blessed to have you in my life." He paused as he gathered his thoughts. "These past few years of our married life have been such a joy for me and I wouldn't change a minute of it."

"Neither would I," she smiled and realized he had changed her stance about their doppelgangers.

He smiled again and then he kissed her cheek, her throat and all manner of body parts his lips could reach. "Hmmm, you taste so good." Barry made love to her again as they both proceeded to show their feelings as only they could.

~o~o~

Their 'second honeymoon' came to an end far too soon. They returned home to make final preparations to leave their friends and family to start a new life away from Central City, but various news channels throughout the airport reported a stunning announcement. Zoom had apparently disappeared. No one has seen him for nearly two weeks. Not only that, but numerous meta-humans that had terrorized the city for months, had also disappeared.

"What do think it means?" Iris asked her husband, thinking of their doppelgangers and what could have happened to Zoom and his followers.

"It means we can go home and we know whom to thank," he replied.

"Yes we do," Iris agreed wholeheartedly.

Soon they entered a cab and headed home to a bright future just waiting for them.

~o~o~

Once arriving back home, Iris was exhausted. "I can't seem to keep my eyes open," Iris said after exiting the cab.

"You go on upstairs, relax and get a few hours of sleep," Barry said. He watched her go upstairs, then he followed her with the luggage. As not to disturb her, he decided that unpacking could wait. He helped her get settled, then he decided to listen to messages. There were several from his job, a few from his parents, just a few minutes ago, but also a few from their friends. Frowning, he decided to wait and call them back later. It didn't seem like anything that couldn't wait for a while.

He watched her go off to sleep, then sat down and watched her for a little while. He sighed and wondered at their rather eye-opening trip and realized that having a baby would be a huge responsibility but they were up to the challenge; he truly believed that.

A little while later, Iris suddenly yawned, stretched, and opened her eyes. "Barry?"

"I'm here," he said and sat down. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah, I guess long flights are not what I'm used to," she replied and looked him over. "How long was I asleep?"

"Only an hour or so," he replied.

She tried to sit up. "Are you hungry; it's past dinner time?"

Instead of answering her, he stood up and began to undress. Barry had a feeling she was already pregnant and so he decided to thank her in his own special way.

"Someone's in a mood," she said. Smiling, she scooted over and waited for him.

"You won't need this," he said and helped her remove her gown.

"You won't need these," she said and helped him remove his boxers.

In bed and nose to nose, Barry became emotional. "Iris, I," he hesitated.

"What were you going to say?" But of course she knew.

"Why don't I show you instead?" He asked and proceeded to show his wife how much he loved and adored her.

Then they sealed their unspoken confessions with gentle kisses and tender caresses which all too soon became desperate and frantic, as Barry kissed his way down her body to her lovely breasts and thought about how large and sensitive they would become. His mouth went dry as he licked his lips, glanced up her body, met her sultry gaze, and then she beckoned to him with open arms and parted lips and he was lost.

Barry closed his eyes and smiled against her throat and immediately began thanking his beautiful wife properly. The room was so still that the only sound was their ragged breathing. Iris moaned as he kissed his way down her throat to her breasts applying his tongue to her aching nipple, as she moaned again louder this time arching her back, stroking his hair loving his mouth and hands on her breasts.

He then dropped a kiss to her stomach thinking about their child possibly growing inside of her, and went even lower to her long shapely legs and smooth thighs. He stroked her between her legs and Iris opened them wider for him to pleasure her and he did. He went even further and kissed the dark curls moist with desire for him. He breathed in her unique scent loving her sighs and her hands in his hair stroking him with her desire for him.

Iris moaned loudly, trembling with desire, as she cried out repeatedly as he used not only his lips and tongue, but his nose and chin as well to make love to her as tension coiled tight and hot in her belly and she could feel herself coming. Barry pulled away and Iris whimpered.

"I want to feel you come around me and I know you want that too, am I right?" He smiled not waiting for an answer, as he rubbed the head of his erection against her swollen lips exciting them both. He closed his eyes as he felt her tight sheath close around him, took her mouth in a hot wet kiss as he gathered her tightly against his chest.

"I love you so much, Iris," he whispered in her ear, as he began that ancient rhythm and Iris matched that rhythm stroke for stroke.

"Oh, Barry, I love you too," Iris managed to say between pants and moans and then she cried out wrapping her arms and legs around him, pulled his head down and kissed him long, hard, and deep as he drove into her again and again. Her climax caused him to come as mind-numbing pleasure shot through to his very soul moments later.

He slowly pulled out of his wife's warm body, kissed her temple and stroked her hair, then pulled her close to his chest sighing into her hair.

"Go back to sleep sweetheart," Barry said as he closed his eyes.

Iris was beyond thought. All she could do at the moment was feel, as she closed her eyes and slid her arms around his waist and sighed against her husband's chest.

Right now, at this moment, wrapped up in each others arms, it was easy to forget everything but this perfect moment in time.

TBC!
