A/N: Well here is the next chapter. This one is more of a feel good, fun chapter. I'm still trying to keep the story light and with minimal angst. I hope you guys enjoy it and keep leaving reviews. I do appreciate every review. Also, I don't own Chuck.
Chuck and Sarah both woke up within minutes of each other and just like the day before Sarah was molded into Chuck's side and she had her head on his chest. Chuck loved sleeping with Sarah and he couldn't get enough of the vanilla fragrance from her shampoo. This is what he wanted every morning, to wake up to Sarah beside him. He couldn't think of a better way to start his day then to wake up to Sarah's gorgeous face. This was also the second night in a row that he slept really sound and there was no question why, it was because of Sarah.
Sarah was awake but she had no plans on moving away from Chuck's side. She mentally scolded herself for leaving Chuck before. I could've been here cuddled to the man of my dreams but no, I was off running around the globe with Bryce. What the hell was I afraid of? I should have known that Chuck would never hold my past against me and now I've wasted two and a half years that could of been spent laying right here with Chuck. Well now I have a Chuck quota that needs to be met and I need to make sure it gets filled daily and the only way to fill it is being with Chuck.
Neither of them wanted to be the first to move but finally Chuck reached down and lifted Sarah's chin so that he was looking into those deep blue eyes of hers. He gave her a light kiss and as he went to pull away, she reached up and grabbed the back of his head and pulled him down into a very passionate kiss that started to heat up very quickly. As the heat mounted chuck pulled her over so that she was lying completely on top of him. Sarah could feel exactly how excited Chuck was getting and to be honest, if she had the same equipment as Chuck had, he'd know just how excited she was. The passion was getting to the point that neither of them would have the ability, nor the will to stop it if they didn't stop right now. Sarah used every ounce of willpower she had and slowly pushed herself off of Chuck and the bed.
She looked over at Chuck who's breathing was just starting to slow and said with as much feeing as she could muster, "We need to get things ironed out between us Chuck and soon, because I don't have enough self-control to stop the next time we kiss like we just did. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't even try to stop."
Chuck took a deep breath and slid over and sat on the edge of the bed. He looked up at Sarah and grabbed her hand. "I really don't know how much self control I have left but your right, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to stop either. I think I need to burn off some built up sexual tension so I think I'm gonna go on my run with Devon and while I do that, you can either shower here or you can go take one at your hotel. Either way, I'll see you as soon as I get back and take my shower."
"I think I'll go back to the hotel and get ready that way I can grab my bikini and meet you back here. Ellie did mention something about us going to the beach with her and Devon this afternoon, didn't she? I have a new bikini that I think you'll like."
She could see the far off look in Chuck's eyes and knew he was trying to get a mental picture in his head of her in the bikini. Sarah bent down and gave him a kiss on the cheek which snapped Chuck out of his stupor. "By the way, I was wondering if I could start running with you guys in the morning?"
Chuck reached for the night stand and grabbed his car keys. He tossed them to Sarah, "Take my Mustang, it's not your Porsche but I'll think you'll enjoy it a lot more then that rental you're driving and I'd love for you to run with us. I'll double check with Devon but I don't see him having a problem with it." Sarah smiled and turned towards the door, she couldn't wait for Chuck to see her in her new bikini. She was pretty sure he'd also love her running outfit that she would wear when they went on their runs.
Chuck met Devon out in the courtyard and they headed out for their morning run. "Devon, Sarah asked me if she could run with us in the morning and I told her I didn't have a problem with it but I wanted to check with you."
Devon looked to Chuck, "That would be awesome and you don't need my permission to have Sarah run with us. She is more then welcome to run with us whenever she wants."
"Thanks Devon, you're the one who got me into the shape that I'm in today and I feel like I owe you….well like I owe you my life. After Sarah left, running was the first real thing I did to break out of my depression and it was all with your help. That's why I felt the need to ask you first."
"Your family Chuck, and you would have done the same thing for me if our lives had been reversed." Devon started to pick up the pace and Chuck was not about to be left behind. Devon laughed as they were sprinting neck and neck. "We need to burn off the extra body fat Chuck, we need to look awesome for the beach today because you know our woman will." They were both laughing as they ran into the courtyard and stopped at the fountain.
Chuck looked over to Devon, "Thank you for being there for me and Ellie all these year. You're like the big brother I never had."
Devon smiled back at Chuck, "That's what families are for, they take care of each other." They gave each other a light fist bump and walked to the doors of their apartments.
Sarah had to agree with Chuck, his Mustang was no Porsche but it did have plenty of power and handled fairly well. She was rather impressed by the time she pulled up to her hotel. When she entered her room she went to her suitcases and pulled out the clothes she planned to wear for the day. She also pulled out an aqua blue bikini that didn't leave a lot to the imagination. Sarah wanted to make sure that Chuck's eyes would be on her and her alone and she was pretty certain that the bikini she would be wearing would have that effect on him. She had a huge smile on her face as she headed to the bathroom to take her shower.
An hour later and Sarah was driving back over to Chuck's apartment. When she arrived, she walked into the courtyard and found Casey leaving his apartment. "Hey Casey, how are you doing this morning?"
Casey grunted and said "I'm going to Castle and to hit the shooting range. What are you and the kid up to today?"
"Ellie asked me and Chuck to go to the beach today with her and Devon, so that's what we're planning to do."
Casey had a huge grin on his face, "Walker, want some advice?" Sarah gave him a questioning look.
"What advice would that be Casey?"
"Leave your weapons at home and that's all I'm going to say about it." Casey turned and walked out of the courtyard. She thought for sure she heard him laughing as he got to his car. What the hell did Casey mean by that?
Sarah got to Chuck's apartment and after knocking on the door, she heard him yell out to come on in. As she entered the apartment she saw Chuck over by the fridge and he was dumping ice into a cooler. She noticed that he had on a yellow t-shirt and a pair of surfer style shorts. Chuck was so large that his t-shirt was hugging his upper body and it was causing Sarah to feel like someone had lit a small fire in the pit of her stomach. His legs were something else. They were like two tree trunks sticking out from his shorts. Sarah turned and tried to keep her sight and mind off of Chuck's body before she ripped his clothes off and took him where he stood.
Chuck was getting a cooler filled with ice when Sarah arrived and when she walked through the door, Chuck thought that she had to be the most beautiful woman that he had ever seen. She had on a green button up shirt and and pair of Khaki shorts that were short and form fitting. She had her hair in a pony tail and when she smiled at him, he could feel the blush rise up his face, He turned and stuck both hands down into the cooler and buried as much of his arms under the ice as he could. Much better he thought. It wouldn't take the place of a cold shower but it was the next best thing.
Once they had both recovered enough to face each other. Sarah came over to Chuck and stood on her toes and gave him a kiss that relayed just enough of what she was feeling without going to far and heating things up beyond their control.
Just then, they heard a knock on the door. Chuck opened it to find Ellie and Devon standing there with huge smiles on their face. Devon looked at the both of them, "You guys ready to go?" Chuck grabbed the cooler and said "Let's go."
Ellie looked at Sarah, "Aren't you wearing a bathing suit Sarah?"
"I've got it on under my my clothes, I want to surprise Chuck when we get to the beach."
As they headed out the door Sarah overheard Devon whisper into Ellie's ear, "That won't be the only surprise at the beach." Sarah thought to herself, I wonder what Devon meant by that. I guess I'll find out when we get there and with that, they loaded up the vehicles and headed to the beach.
When they arrived they pulled in and parked beside Devon and Ellie. Sarah got out of the vehicle and scanned the beach. She was glad that it wasn't packed. There was a moderate crowd there but it wasn't so crowded that you couldn't have a little space and privacy for yourself.
Sarah and Ellie grabbed the blankets and a couple of bags that had sunscreen and towels in them and walked onto the beach. They ended up finding a perfect spot about midway to the water. The spot would allow room for both blankets and not be right on top of the people next to them. Chuck and Devon made several trips to the cars with coolers, and baskets of food that Ellie had made up for the day. Devon also grabbed a bag containing a football and a couple of frisbees.
Once the blankets were spread out, Sarah decided that it was time to reveal her bikini. She made sure that she was standing in front of Chuck while he sat and leaned back on his hands.
Sarah made sure she was standing right in front of Chuck . She turned so her back was to Chuck and started slowly unbuttoning her blouse. When the last button was done, she let the shirt fall to the ground. She looked over her shoulder to see if she had Chuck's full attention, which she did. She undid her shorts and slowly slid them down over her hips. As she slid them to her knees, she bent over at the waist and made sure that her rear end was about two feet away from his face as she removed the shorts. While still bent over she turned to the side and could see that Chuck's eyes were glazed over and his mouth was wide open. Sarah had spent a lot of money on the bikini but seeing the look on Chuck's face made it worth every penny she spent on it. Sarah turned and asked Chuck how he liked her bikini and she watched as he mumbled some incoherent words and just nodded his head up and down. After a few minutes Chuck told her how beautiful she was. It brought a smile to Sarah's face, she definitely got the response she was looking for with the new bikini.
Chuck was watching the people walk by and was just relaxing on the blanket. He noticed Sarah get up and stand in front of him. Then he watched as she slowly removed her blouse and could see the smooth skin of her shoulders and back. When she started to remove her shorts, he was glad that he was sitting down, because it would of been quite embarrassing if he had been standing up. As Sarah bent over, he watched as she removed the shorts the rest of the way off. He watched as Sarah stood up and turned to face him. She asked him what he thought of her bikini but his mind had turned to mush and responding to Sarah at this point was totally beyond his comprehension. He finally was able to get two brain cells working and told Sarah how beautiful she was.
Devon got up and grabbed one of the frisbees, "Hey Chuck, you want to go throw the frisbee for a bit and maybe we could work up a sweat before we hit the water?"
Chuck looked to Sarah and she told him that she would just lay there with Ellie and get some sun. "Sounds good to me Devon."
After the guys left, Ellie looked over at Sarah, "I think you killed some of Chuck's brain cells with that bikini."
Sarah smiled back, "That was the plan. I wanted to look good for Chuck and I think I past that test."
"Yeah, you definitely did. I'm really glad that you guys came out with us today. I hope we can do more things as couples now that your back." Sarah's smile got even wider at Ellie's last comment. She really wanted to be a part of Chuck's life and Ellie's statement made her feel like she was becoming part of the family.
Sarah watched as Chuck and Devon threw the frisbee to each other and noticed that Devon had removed his shirt and was just playing in his shorts. She noticed that Chuck hadn't removed his shirt and she really hadn't really noticed that Chuck's shirt was very large and did a good job of hiding a lot of Chuck's size and definition. She wondered why he would wear a shirt that big to the beach.
Soon the guys came back to the blankets and took a break. They both grabbed a bottle of water and drank until they quenched their thirst. Chuck looked down at Sarah who was laying on her back enjoying the sun, "Hey I'm going for a swim, do you want to go?"
Sarah smiled up at Chuck, "I'm really enjoying the sun sweetie but you go ahead and I'll go in with you later. Before you go, could you rub some lotion on my back?"
Chuck gave Sarah a small smirk, "I think I could handle that." Chuck grabbed the lotion and Sarah rolled onto her stomach. After making sure he applied it to every inch of Sarah's back and legs, he let her know that he was going for a swim.
Devon looked to Ellie, "Now the fun begins." he said.
Sarah was in heaven, she had just had Chuck's hands all over her back and legs and was really enjoying relaxing on the beach. Due to Sarah laying on her stomach, she never saw Chuck remove his shirt and sprint down the beach and into the water.
Sarah had been laying down for about ten minutes when a noise caught her attention. The sound came from her left side which happened to be the direction she was facing. As she opened her eyes she noticed several women that were either sitting straight up or leaning back on their hands. They all seemed to be looking towards the ocean. When she lifted her head she noticed that even a couple of guys were looking in the same direction. Just then she heard sounds coming from her right side and when she looked over to her right could see women and men looking towards the beach. All the women seemed to have a dazed look on their face and Sarah could've sworn that a couple had drool coming out of their mouths. She sat up and turned towards the water, she wanted to see what was making these women act this way.
When Sarah turned around, she had a movie moment, because what she was seeing only happened in the movies. Her eyes glazed over and she wasn't too sure that she didn't have drool coming from the corner of her mouth. She was so entranced by what she was seeing that she she never heard Ellie and Devon laughing beside her. Her eyes along with everyone else in the general vicinity were locked on Chuck.
Chuck was still in the water about waist deep but was heading back to shore. Sarah watched as he brought both arms up and ran his hands through his hair. His biceps flexed to the size of grapefruit and as Sarah looked on, she could feel the heat build from her core and envelop her whole body. She could see that his pecs, shoulders and traps were large and defined but his abs were what really got her going. Nice abs had always been one of Sarah's weakness's along with butts and Chuck's abs were making her extremely hot. It was hard for Sarah to even describe them, other then perfection. Chuck had a six pack and each ab was separated by a deep cut between each muscle. Sarah made a mental picture of Chuck because she wanted to be able to bring up this picture many times in the future.
Sarah was shocked at what happened next. Before she could move Chuck had been surrounded by a several women. That's when Sarah went from relaxing girlfriend on the beach, to extremely jealous girlfriend, who was ready to tear apart the each of the women that had their hands all over her man.
Sarah stood up and headed towards Chuck. When she got to him she noticed that he was doing his best to be polite and get through the large group of women. Sarah on the other hand, said the hell with being polite and started pushing her way through the group of women. When she reached Chuck, she never said a word. She was all about actions speaking louder then words and with that, she grabbed Chucks face and gave him a kiss that he would not soon forget. Sarah could hear all the other woman moaning and groaning as they walked away. Some of the women didn't give up quite so easy and Sarah got in their faces and threatened to end them on the spot.
When Chuck and Sarah made it back to their blanket, Sarah grabbed Chucks face and looked him dead in the eye. "Chuck, you are not leaving this blanket without me by your side. In fact anytime we come to the beach and you remove your shirt, I'm going where you go. Is that understood?"
Chuck smiled and look over at Sarah. "That's fine by me because I kind of get tired of the women looking at me like a piece of meat." Sarah laughed to herself because when she saw Chuck coming out of the ocean, she kept thinking Prime Rib.
Sarah realized that for the first time in her life, she wasn't the one who had to put up with men looking at her like she was a piece of meat, it was Chuck who was getting all the attention. She never had anyone make a comment or make a pass at her the whole day. Granted, Chuck was quite intimidating and she was sure that the other guys on the beach wanted no part of him. She had to admit, it was kind of nice but a small piece of her was jealous of Chuck. She had never been with anyone who got more attention then her and it was definitely an adjustment to her ego. She loved Chuck with all her heart and in the end, that's all that mattered.
The rest of the day was perfect as they all sat around and laughed and joked with each other. Sarah came to realize why Casey had told her not to bring her weapons and why Devon had whispered those things to Ellie earlier. If she had brought her knives, she may have been tempted to use them on a couple of the persistent women that didn't seem to care that Chuck had a girlfriend.
They all enjoyed the lunch that Ellie had made for the picnic and decided that they were all beached out and started to pack up. Sarah looked over at Chuck, "Could you please put your shirt on Chuck? I don't really want to have to beat the crap out of any of these women for putting their hands on you again." Chuck just laughed and put the shirt back on.
On the drive home Chuck asked Sarah, "Did you have a good time today Sarah?"
She smiled back at him, "As long as I'm with you Chuck, I'll always have a good time." Chuck gave her that one smile that he saved just for her and that was the one that broke the camels back. Sarah couldn't take it any longer, it had been years since she had had sex and after that smile of Chuck's, that drought was coming to an end tonight.
Chuck noticed the change in Sarah and wasn't sure what had happened. "Is everything alright Sarah?"
Sarah took a deep breath, "Chuck, it's been years since I've had sex and after what you displayed on the beach today and the smile you gave me a minute ago. I just can't go any longer, so unless your dead set against it, then we're going back to my hotel room and no one will see us until tomorrow." Chuck had an even bigger smile on his face.
"Sarah, there is nothing in this world that I would rather do then make love to you."
Sarah was the one with huge smile on her face now and with that she punched the accelerator of the Mustang and headed for her hotel.
Once they both entered Sarah's room, Chuck picked Sarah up and carried her to the bed. He placed her down with such tenderness that it made her heart just burst with love. She had never met a man like Chuck before and she was sure of one thing. He was hers now and she never planned to let him go again.
Chuck climbed in bed bedside her and they just gazed into each others eyes as their hands began to roam over each others bodies. It didn't take long before they came to the conclusion that they were wearing entirely too many clothes and both went to remove their clothing.
Sarah stopped Chuck from removing his clothes, "Please Chuck, let me." Sarah wanted to take her time and remove each piece of clothing while studying every inch of Chuck's well defined body. Sarah had Chuck right where she wanted him and she wasn't going to waste a single moment of this experience. Sarah had sex before but she had never in her life had someone who truly loved her and would make love to her. As she removed each piece of clothing from Chuck she would slide her hands over every inch of exposed skin and would try to memorize every curve and indentation of Chuck's body. When she had removed the last piece of clothing from Chuck, she stood back and took in the whole view of his body. He really was built like a Greek God and his transformation from two and a half years ago was truly amazing. Sarah removed her clothing and climbed onto the bed. She slid her body up next to chuck and he reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace.
When Sarah had asked to remove his clothing, he really didn't think much about it until he watched how she used her hands to memorize his body as each piece of clothing was removed. It was the most sensual thing he had ever been part of and he knew that there would never be anyone that could take the place of Sarah in his heart. It was hers and hers alone for as long as she wanted it.
Chuck and Sarah both looked into each other eyes and knew that they had a love like no other. Even after being apart from each there was no regrets or grudges held between the two of them.
Chuck had always thought that the love he had for Jill was his one true love but he found that it didn't even compare to the love he felt for Sarah. That was the reason he never was able to date after Sarah left because he would have just compared all of them to Sarah and that wouldn't have been fair to any of them. In his mind Sarah was his soulmate. She had only been back a few days but in that short time, they had repaired their relationship and were getting closer by the day.
Sarah looked deep into Chuck's brown eyes. She had met other men with brown eyes but none of them had ability to make her weak in the knees like Chuck's did. Hell, between his brown eyes and that one smile that was only for her, she always felt like a love struck school girl. She had held in her feelings for Chuck for so long that she felt like the weight of the world was removed when she allowed herself to finally express her feelings for Chuck.
Chuck started kissing the top of Sarah's head and made his way down to her ear. He breathed deeply as he kissed the edge of her ear which sent shivers down Sarah's back and then slowly kissed and nibbled his way down her neck and finally to her mouth. When he pressed his lips to Sarah's, it started out lightly but built in intensity as the passion increased between the two. He ran his tongue along her lower lip and she responded by opening her mouth and accepting his tongue while she pushed her tongue into his mouth and they just enjoyed the taste of each other as the kiss went on.
Sarah couldn't believe how turned on she was. It was like her whole body was a bundle of nerves and every touch from Chuck threatened to send her over the edge. She was ready for what was about to happen. In Sarah's case, this was the first time in her life that she was going to have someone make love to her. Sure, she had had sex before but she never had someone make love to her. She also never loved someone and had them love her back. So, in her eyes Chuck was going to be her first and if Sarah had any say in it, he would be her last.
Chuck looked directly into Sarah's eyes, "Are you sure you want to do this Sarah? Because I have no problem stopping right here and waiting until you're ready."
Sarah grabbed each side of Chuck's face and looked deep into his eyes with as much intensity as she could muster. "Chuck, I have never been more sure of anything in my life. It's not a matter of want, I need you. I need to feel you inside me. I have to feel the love that we share as we are joined together. I need you to make love to me for the first time in my life. I have never made love before Chuck and I want you to be my first and last. I don't ever want it to just become sex between us. What we have is special and no one will ever be able to take that from us."
As their bodies entwined, they made love for the first time. Chuck looked into Sarah's eyes and could see tears running down her cheeks. He immediately stopped there love making. "Sarah, am I hurting you? I'm so sorry, I didn't me to."
Sarah put a hand on the side of Chuck's face and caressed his cheek. "Chuck your not hurting me. I'm just crying because this is probably the most intimate moment I've ever had in my life and plus, you're the most tender and caring lover I've ever been with."
Knowing that he wasn't hurting Sarah any longer, he continued to make love to the girl of his dreams and they were both so in sync with each other that they both had their releases at the same time.
Throughout the night, Sarah had screamed out Chuck's name many times while they made love and Chuck had done the same with Sarah's name. It was early morning when their love making came to an end and both were totally exhausted.
They both knew in their hearts, that their lives would never be the same from this moment on and neither of them would change a thing. Sarah melted into Chuck's side and he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to him tightly. Chuck knew that his life was finally complete, with Sarah by his side. He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had made the right discussion in allowing Sarah back into his life. He had to admit, it just felt right. It was only minutes before they both fell into a very deep and contented sleep.
