Michaela and Sully went into the house to change out of their wedding attire. Upon entering the house, Sully grabbed her hand and pulled her to him.

"Sully!"

"What? There's no harm in us doing this now, we're married, Mrs. Sully."

"I know, but you surprised me."

"In a good way or bad way?"

"Good…." Sully interrupted her answer by trailing kisses along her neck up to her ear lobe.

He looked deep into her eyes and held her gaze before kissing her deeply. His eyes were full of lust and spoke volumes as to what he was thinking. Michaela felt giddy with anticipation and nervous as well. She could feel her blood heat and pulse quicken at his touch.

"We should get changed," Michaela managed to say before falling back under his spell.

He grumbled and slowly released her. "I suppose you are right."

He started to follow Michaela into the bedroom to change. "Sully! You have to change in the other room."

"What?" he asked

"You may distract me and we have to leave here soon, the sun is setting." She smiled at him.

Michaela walked into the living room dressed in a royal blue sundress and sandals and Sully was wearing jeans, a blue and white button down Oxford shirt and flip flops. She left her hair down but tied it back in a loose pony tail with a ribbon. Sully gasped at the sight of her. She was beautiful and was his wife now!

They gathered their bags and headed outside to bid everyone good bye. Hannah and Katie were staying at the ranch while they were on their honeymoon. Elizabeth and Rebecca were flying home in a few hours.

They climbed in Sully's SUV and made their way down the drive way and toward the little cabin on their new property. As they arrived at the cabin, the sun was setting behind the mountains across the valley. Michaela got out of the SUV and closed the door while gazing out at the view that would soon be theirs.

Sully walked over to her and threaded his arms around hers. He kissed her gently on the cheek. "It sure it beautiful isn't it?"

"Yes, it is. I am looking forward to when we move in. The mountains and valley are so majestic."

"And you are my beauty."

"Oh, Sully," Michaela blushed.

They walked hand in hand down toward the cabin. Michaela was nervous about tonight. It had been so long and she had only been with David.

As they approached the cabin, Michaela noticed that some of the wedding flowers had been neatly arranged on the cabin porch. At the end of the porch, a wooden swing was situated so that it faced the valley. Sully opened the door to the cabin and Michaela started to walk in.

"No, I have to carry you over the threshold," he stated and picked her up.

Michaela squealed with joy. Their gazes locked and they shared a tender kiss. Once inside, Sully set her down on the ground and turned on a light. The cabin interior was one large room but had all of the modern luxuries.

The light revealed Sully's surprise to her.

"Sully, what is this?" she asked, amazed at its beauty.

"It's a bed that I carved," he replied, proudly.

"It's exquisite," she said, taking in the sight of the four poster bed and running her hands over the ornate Indian feather carvings in the head board.

"I'm glad you like it!" he said, moving toward her.

"When did you have time to make this?"

"That's a secret!" he said, grinning broadly and kissing her.

Sully let out a low growl as he pulled her close to him. There was no denying what he was thinking.

Michaela looked into his eyes and leaned forward to kiss him deeply. He touched the side of her face and trailed kisses along her neck and up to her ear lobe, she felt her knees go weak. Her body started to stir in places she had long forgotten about. She raised a hand to gently push Sully away.

He stepped back with a concerned look on his face. Michaela noticed his look and quickly explained.

"I would like to go change into something more comfortable," she stated.

"I wouldn't bother. It will be on the floor in a few minutes," he replied, grinning widely.

Michaela blushed. "I wanted to show you the special gift I bought just for you."

"Okay, I am intrigued now."

Michaela dashed into the bathroom to change into the silky nightgown that left little to the imagination. She felt very bold when she was purchasing it. It was a dusky peach color made of pure silk. It blended beautifully with her complexion. It was knee length with a lace overlay and had spaghetti straps. It was very sheer and was sure to delight Sully once he saw her in it. She glimpsed her reflection in the mirror. She blushed, imagining how he would react. She stood before the mirror for a few minutes, willing her pulse to calm down.

She gathered the nerve to slowly peek out of the bathroom door to see where Sully was. She didn't immediately see him and continued to open the door a few more inches, trying to remain hidden as much as possible. She saw Sully sitting on the edge of the bed, removing his shoes and shirt. He stood with his back to her to pull the blankets back and fluff the pillows. Michaela took a sharp intake of breath as she glimpsed the sight of his broad, muscular back. She reveled in watching the muscles move effortlessly as he moved the blankets around and move their bags further from the bed.

Michaela slowly pulled the door open and silently walked toward him. Sully sensed her and turned around. His mouth dropped open when he saw her. Her hair was loose around her shoulders, covering her breasts. She had her hands clasped in front of her. He noticed her blushing.

"You look amazing!" Sully cried, sitting down on the edge of the bed, fearing his legs would give out.

"Thank you," she replied and walked over to him. She stood in between his legs and wrapped her arms around his neck. Sully kissed her and put his arms around her waist. Michaela began to feel warmth spread throughout her body. Sully leaned back and she fell on top of him.

Sully still had his hands wrapped around her waist and began placing kisses along her neck. Michaela began to feel a heaviness settle in her center. He let his hands roam along her back, slowly bringing her nightgown up. She felt his hands touch her bottom then move up toward her back. As her body began to awaken, she returned kisses along his jawline and down his throat.

Sully stopped and looked into her eyes. She could feel his arousal. They both answered each other's unspoken request. He wrapped his arms around her waist and rolled over on the bed so that Michaela was laying underneath him. He trailed kisses along her throat all the while he is removing her night gown, exposing her body to him.

He rolled off of her and laid on his left side next to her on the bed, propped up on his arm. Sully took his fingers and ran lazy circles around her breasts, teasing her nipples. He delicately licked the same path that his fingers took. Sully leaned over and traced her lips with his tongue. She parted her lips and their tongues met. She felt heady with love for him. Michaela began to caress his hard, muscled chest. She teased his nipples and raised up to lightly lick them.

Sully let out a contended sigh and laid back on the bed. Michaela began to fumble with the zipper to his jeans. He raised his head up and put a hand behind his head to support it while he grinned at her.

"Here, let me help you," he stated, taking pleasure in her difficulty.

Michaela looked up at him and blushed. "Thank you."

He briefly closed his eyes, enjoying the intimate contact with her. He raised his hips to allow her to remove his jeans. As she was pulling them down his legs, he caressed her shoulder then slowly moved down to her arm. He caught her reaction to his full state of arousal. He watched her eyes widen and she looked up at him, blushing. He returned her glance with eyes full of lust.

Sully removed the hand that was supporting his head and drew her down toward him. Her mouth opened to accept his tongue in a deep kiss. He rolled over so that she was underneath him. He put a knee between her legs to move them slightly apart. He leaned down to kiss her and nibble on her ear lobe then trailed kisses down her throat to the valley between her breasts and lower still.

Sully looked down at her and ran his finger along the same trail as his kisses. When his hand reached her stomach, Michaela tensed slightly.

Sully drove her wild with anticipation. She had never experienced this level of love with David. Sully made her body tingle with every touch.

"Shhh, relax," Sully whispered in her ear.

He slowly moved his hand lower and began kissing her lips, then moving to her throat and then to her breasts. When his fingers reached her center, she let out a whimper and looked up at him, searching his face.

Sully gazed back at her lovingly. They held each other's gaze as she wrapped her fingers around his arm and he expertly pleasured her. He brought her to the brink of complete pleasure and then slowed his pace. Just as she was reaching the crescendo, Michaela felt him slowly enter her. She gasped at the sensation, and they quickly found their rhythm. He continued to touch her center and soon she was feeling her pleasure build, in response, he picked up his pace and soon they reached the peak at the same time.

Sully looked down at her and softly kissed her on the lips. "I love you."

"Sully, I love you more than you could ever know," Michaela answered.

As their bodies relaxed, Sully moved to lay beside her on the bed. Michaela rolled to her side and he cuddled behind her, throwing an arm over her waist. She grabbed the blanket to cover them. They quickly fell asleep.

A few hours later, Michaela awoke. Sully still had his arm protectively draped around her waist. She smiled to herself and silently slid out of the bed. She stood up slowly and stretched her sore, achy muscles. It was now early in the morning and the cabin was completely dark. She quietly padded to the bathroom and shut the door. She turned on the light and stared at her reflection in the mirror. She could see the effects of their passion on her face and chest. Her complexion was still flushed.

She turned on the shower and turned the water up so that it was very hot. Michaela stepped in and let the water run over her body and relax her achy muscles.

Sully awoke with a chill. He noticed that Michaela was no longer in the bed. He tried to focus in the dark to see where she could be but then he heard the water running in the bathroom. He stretched his tired muscles and walked to the bathroom door. He tried the door handle. It was unlocked. He silently opened the door. He stood there watching her in the shower. Her thin, lithe body covered in her wonderfully scented soaps.

He walked toward the shower, unable to control his urges. He quietly opened the door and stood behind her. He touched her side. She jumped and almost lost her balance.

"Oh Sully, you scared me!" she cried.

"I'm sorry," he replied, pulling her toward him in a tight embrace and letting his hands roam over her body.

She felt her body begin to tingle at his touch. She took her bottle of delicate soap and poured some on his chest. She took her hands and spread the bubbles around and let them fall to intimate areas of his body. He smiled at her with those deep blue eyes. That look drove her wild. She couldn't help but kiss him. He returned her kiss with passion.

Sully picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He braced himself against the shower stall and quickly entered her while plying her with playful nibbles along her collarbone. Michaela couldn't help but quietly giggle at the sensation of his nibbles.

They finished their passionate embrace quickly and turned off the water. Sully sat down on the bench and caught his breath. Michaela moved to sit on one of his thighs. Sully kissed her and embraced her tightly.

"You know if you sit here too long, we will both need another shower," Sully mentioned.

"And is there anything wrong with that?" Michaela teased.

"Not in my book, but I am a little hungry," he confessed.

"I am too."

They toweled off and went out to the kitchen. "I hope there is something to eat since nothing is open right now," Sully stated.

Michaela opened the refrigerator and found it fully stocked with everything they could imagine. She gathered some grapes, turkey slices and some water. She turned around and Sully was gone.

"Sully?"

"Out here," he answered, sitting in the swing on the porch.

"What are you doing out here?"

She moved to sit next to him. "I found some food." She put the plate in her lap.

Sully moved to put his arm around her shoulders while taking some grapes and eating them.

"Look over there," he said, pointing out in front of them, toward the valley. "The sun is starting to rise."

"It's beautiful!" she replied, snuggling close to him.

"Just imagine that will be our view as soon as the house is finished," he mentioned.

"It will be nice to be able to raise the girls so close to nature."

"I couldn't agree more."

They sat on the swing and watched the sun rise over the mountains and shed light on the valley below. Michaela was lost in her thoughts of wonderment at the love she and Sully shared, their two beautiful girls and excitement in what the future held for them.
