Wine Glasses under the Moonlight

Finn quickly showers in the hallway bathroom, dresses and heads back down the back staircase to the kitchen to grab a bottle of wine and wine glasses. He hurries back upstairs to set up the balcony before Rachel can get out of their shared bathroom.

Finn's breath hitches when he sees Rachel as she walks out to the balcony towel-drying her hair, wearing nothing but a tiny pair of cotton shorts and thin camisole. "I…I thought that maybe you'd like a glass of wine to help unwind." Finn stutters, unable to take his eyes off of her petite body.

Finally looking up, Rachel notices the candles that Finn has lit around the balcony. "Finn, this is the perfect way to unwind after the news that I received earlier today, thank you so much, but you didn't have to do all of this."

"I know that I didn't have to do this, but I wanted to." Finn shrugs with a smile on his face.

Rachel closes the distance between Finn and her and whispers to him, "You are an amazing person, and I feel honored to be able to call you my friend."

"It's nothing, come on let's sit down and watch the sun finish setting." Finn says as he grabs her hand and walks toward the small table.

"I love the beach, this is definitely one of the most spectacular views I've ever seen." Rachel says as she stares out into the ocean, appearing to be lost in her thoughts.

"It sure is," Finn says without ever taking his eyes off of her, "you wanna talk about what's on your mind?"

"It's silly; really I don't want to bother you with my problems." Rachel shrugs.

"I can tell that something is bothering you, and I wish that you felt comfortable enough with me to talk to me about it." Finn tells her with hurt in his voice.

"This is supposed to be a good time and I just don't want to bring you down with my problems." Rachel replies refusing to look at him.

Finn reaches for her hand and squeezes, "Please talk to me, Rachel I don't like to see you upset."

She looks up into his eyes and can tell that he is being sincere, fighting back tears she says, "I'm not ready to go back to New York; Brody embarrassed me by cheating on me with my co-star, all of our friends knew and didn't bother to tell me." Wiping the tears from her eyes she continues, "I'm not hurt any longer; I realize that Brody and I would have never lasted because he was only concerned about his own career and happiness."

"Do you still love him?" Finn can't help but to ask, holding his breath; not sure if he wants to hear her answer.

"No and I'm fairly certain that I hadn't loved him for a while before he broke up with me," dropping her head in her hands, "I was going to marry him, even though I didn't love him. I would have walked down that aisle and said I do, just so I wouldn't be alone."

Finn is totally flabbergasted by Rachel having such a low self-esteem. He stands and walks over and kneels down in front of her, raising her chin up so she is looking straight in his eyes, "Rachel, you are an amazing person, even though we haven't known each other very long I can tell how big your heart is."

"I've been in two serious relationships in my life, and both of them ended with them cheating on me; so I must be doing something wrong." She shrugs.

Finn grabs Rachel's hands and leans in to kiss her, saying right before their lips meet, "If you were mine, I would hold on to you and never let go."

Rachel melts in his arms as she intensifies the kiss, pulling away only to whisper, "I could be yours."

"Yeah; is that a possibility?" Finn asks as he gently kisses her between each word.

"Maybe," She smirks as she wraps her arms around his neck, "are you feeling lucky?'

"Oh I'd definitely say so," he says as he sweeps her up in his arms, walking in her room and laying her down on her bed, "but you tell me, am I lucky?"

She pulls him down by the collar of his shirt, tightly wrapping her legs around his waist pulling his body flush with hers. "I think that I may be the lucky one." She whispers before slipping her tongue in his mouth.

Their bodies are moving as one, each gently caressing the other as they slowly memorize each others body. Finn breaks his lips from Rachel's and whispers, "Are you sure that you want to do this?"

She gazes into his eyes and slides her hand down to the hem of his shirt, slowly pulling it up over his head before she answers, "I've wanted you to make love to me since we spent that night watching fireworks on your terrace."

"I want you so much, Rachel." Finn says as he slowly peels her tank top off of her, exposing her chest to him. "You are so beautiful." He whispers as he lowers his lips on her left breast and starts caressing her right.

"Finn please, I need you." Rachel breathes as she slips her tiny hand in the front of his shorts slowly stroking his erection. "Please make love to me."

"Rach." Finn moans as he reaches for her waist, raising her hips as he slides her shorts over them and down her legs. "God, you are so damn sexy."

"Fiiinnnn, oh God I need you now." Rachel whispers as she pushes his shorts down his legs with her feet, looking into his eyes as she continues to pump him.

"Oh shit, I don't have a condom, Rachel we have to stop!" Finn groans, stopping being the last thing that he wants to do.

"I'm on birth control Finn, I trust you," Rachel assures him, suddenly realizing that maybe this has changed his mind. "I...I mean, if you're still sure?"

Finn not liking the look of self doubt that is on Rachel's face, whispers before he plunges inside of her as slowly as he can, "Oh believe me, I'm sure."

Their bodies moves as one, matching the beats of their hearts; Finn entwines his hands with hers as their lips meld together. Rachel can't remember a time that she has ever felt this alive; the feeling of their bodies connected nearly too much for her to handle and sending her rapidly towards her sweet release. "Oh my…Fiiinnnn!" she screams as she has the most powerful orgasm that she has ever experienced; clenching his shoulders as she pulses around his manhood, causing Finn to release right after her.

Collapsing on the bed beside her and pulling her body flush to his, "You're amazing, I think that I may be falling in love with you." Afraid that his admission may scare her away he tightens his hold on her preventing her to pull away.

"I think that I may be falling in love with you too." Rachel whispers into his chest. "I guess I owe my friends a big thank you for convincing me to move out here."

"Remind me to thank them too." He says as he leans in to place a kiss on the top of her head. While Rachel's breath slows as she starts to fall asleep wrapped in his arms, Finn realizes right then that he would do anything for her. He decides that there is no way in hell she's going to the east coast without him, even if it means having to meet her family.

Finn falls asleep happily with this little woman who was quickly becoming his world in his arms.

It's nine o'clock in the morning, Sam and Kitty have arrived; and everyone is sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee and talking. "I wonder where Rachel is, she never sleeps this late." Quinn comments.

"Yeah, I'm kinda hungry, I wish she'd come down here and cook us something to eat!" Puck grumbles, "I'm pretty sure that none of us can cook like that little chick."

"First of all, don't let her hear you call her a chick; she will flip out on you and if you make her mad we may all starve." Santana says through gritted teeth.

"Yes, Puckerman quit acting like a caveman! I'm sure she'll be coming down any minute." Kurt adds.

"Uhmm, I don't want to state the obvious here, but has anyone else noticed that Finn is MIA?" Sam asks with a knowing look on his face.

"Well we all know that he can sleep well into the afternoon," Kurt tells Sam totally missing the look on his friends' face, "we all know that he sleeps like a rock."

Shocked that Kurt isn't putting two plus two together, Kitty asks him, "Don't you think that it's pretty odd that Rachel and Finn are still sleeping in?"

"Yeah, since y'all just told us the last time that they were seen they were eye locked in the pool together." Sam smirks.

"Why no, why would that be odd…wait a minute, do you think they may be sleeping in together?" finally the light bulb goes off in Kurt's head.

"Well there's only one way to find out the answer to that question, come on Kurt let's go wake the sleeping beauties." Santana smirks as she links arms with him.

"Oh hell no, I'm not going to miss catching them in the act!" Puck laughs as he follows them up the stairs.

"Oh my God, Rachel is going to kill us all, if they are together!" Quinn says as she follows Puck up the stairs.

Sam turns to look at Brittney and Blaine and asks, "What have we missed?"

"Apparently, we've missed quite a bit considering that we have four grown ass adults running up the stairs hoping to catch Finn and Rachel in the act!" Kitty says with a laugh.

"Finn, are you still asleep?" Kurt asks as he tries to open Finn's bedroom door. When the unlocked door opens, the group looks in and notices that the king size bed appears to not have been slept in.

"That dog, I knew that he would end up bagging her!" Puck boasts.

"Bagged? Really Puck, what are you like five!" Quinn hisses, wondering if that is how he felt about her.

"No, he just kept saying how they were just friends; I mean they DID just disappear last night." He says with a shrug.

"The door is open," Santana says as she walks out to the balcony. "come on; maybe we can get our answer out here."

All four of them walk out on the balcony and sees the empty wine bottle and turned over glasses on the table. Quinn raises her eyebrow and points to the door off of Rachel's room. "Who's going to be the brave one to go in there to see if they are both in there?"

"I'll go," Santana beams "I want to see Rachel's face when she gets caught. I knew that she felt something for him just by how she handled Lucy."

"Yeah, Rachel isn't someone who would just kiss someone for no reason. She gets too emotionally attached to people to do something like that." Quinn answers matter-of-factly.

"Here goes nothing, Rachel are you…?" Santana asks stopping mid questions as she walks into the room when she sees Rachel entwined in Finn arms. She silently motions for her friends to come look at the peaceful sight.

"Oh sweet Jesus, he looks so happy." Kurt says as he walks back out to the balcony, fighting the tears that were threatening to fall, "I never thought that I would see my brother at such peace ever again."

Puck as crass as ever asks, "Are we going to wake them up and let them know that they are busted…because seriously I'm starving!"

"Puck I'll fix you something to eat, I can cook a little; now come on…let them sleep." Quinn whispers as she slides the door closed behind them and walks back into Finn's room.

"Well, I can't say that I wasn't hoping that would happen; I didn't think that it would happen that fast though. Lucy hurt Finn so badly that I didn't ever think that he'd be able to trust another woman again." Kurt whispers as he closes Finn's bedroom door behind them as they go back downstairs.

Rachel starts to wake up, confused as to why her pillow is so hard…and breathing; memories of last night flood her mind, she smiles and kisses Finn on the chest.

The feel of her lips on his chest wakes him up, "Good morning beautiful, how did you sleep?"

"Amazing," she bites her lips nervously, afraid of what the answer may be but she has to ask "do you regret it?"

"What….No…why would you ask me that?" Finn angrily asks. "Wait…do you?"

"Oh course not, but look at me Finn I'm not like the girls out here; I don't look like Lucy. You could do so much better than me." She says stumbling over her words.

"Why do you do that?" Finn is totally pissed now, "Rachel, I hope that I showed you last night exactly how I feel about you."

"Like I said last night, I really don't have a good record when it comes to relation…" she stops abruptly since she doesn't know what all of this mean, are they in a relationship or was this meant to be only a one time thing.

"I'm not like those losers, and Rachel it isn't just about the sex for me. I want to be with you; I realize that you may not be ready for a relationship but I will wait for you until you are." He says as he lifts her chin kissing her tenderly on her lips.

"I don't think that I want to wait." She breathes as she returns the tender kiss.

"That is exactly what I was hoping you'd say." Finn whispers as he caresses her face, "And I will be going to the east coast with you next week; I'm not going to sit out here and worry about you the whole time that you guys are out there!"

"I'd love for you to join us; are you going to meet us in New York?" she asks as she runs her fingertips down his chest.

Moaning at her touch, he tells her that he will leave next Monday with them staying with her throughout the whole promotional tour. He tells her that Puck would most likely be joining them for the whole week too.

"What about your firm? You guys have been working so hard to build your clientele; do you think that it's a good idea for two of the senior partners to take a whole week off?" She asks.

"I don't have any upcoming cases on the docket, and I'm pretty sure that Puck doesn't either…Sam can handle the office for a week without us." He says before kissing her again. "Maybe we should head downstairs before they come looking for us!" Finn suggests.

"Yeah, I don't want them to find out about us by catching us in bed together!" Rachel giggles as Finn starts kissing her neck.

"They're all going have to get over it, because I plan on waking up next to you as much as possible from this point on." Finn says as his lips starts trailing down her breast. "Oh baby, you are amazing and I'm so happy that you are allowing me to call you mine." He whispers.

"I still think that I am the lucky one," she whispers as she pulls his lips up to hers, "but we really should head downstairs before they come looking for us." Finally pulling away from his grip and reaching for her bathrobe. "Why don't ya wait a few minutes before you come down?"

"Sure, but I'm not promising you that I will be able to keep my hands or my lips off of you." He whispers as he stands and sweeps her up against his body and places a passionate kiss on her lips.

"Deal," Rachel tells him as she swoons from the effects of his kiss, "See ya downstairs."

"I'll be right down behind you, babe." He says as he finally releases his grip on her.

Up next, who will break the silence about catching Finchel in bed together, or will they not be able to keep their hands off of each other? Next chapter will be the last day at the beach and then there will be a time jump to their trip to New York! Let me know what you think -Melanie
