I know i havent updated in like forever, but i have the flu so it was hard to write while ur entire body hurts.

Quinn watched from her bedroom window as Sam and the other union soldiers were sitting around the camp fire in her backyard talking and laughing. Sam was sitting next to Artie, who had proved to be a real good friend after all. Most people around the plantation knew that Sam and Quinn were together but some were either too afraid to ask about it or were not sure yet, but it wasn't like they were hiding their love for one another. Quinn loved it, she had learned so much more about Sam over the time they've been spending together; and she was so open towards him, and she didn't ever have to hold anything back because she knew that he would never judge her. It wasn't as bad as she thought having the Yankees take over her plantation, they were much nicer than most people said they were and she had better access to Sam which always made her happy. Sure it was a little uncomfortable having all these soldiers invade your home but Quinn never did like a big house with barely anyone in it, she liked having people around.

Their relationship at this point in time was pretty serious although they hadn't made love yet it was something that Quinn always thought about. Whenever he was working with the other soldiers to lift heavy things, Quinn could practically see all those muscles flexing every time he moved; there was this one time where she thought that she was about this close to jumping on him was when he took his shirt off one really hot day when the captain had him move the heavy cannonballs around. Sam never pressured her though, they would spend hours on end at night making out on her bed but his hand would never stray below her neck or waist, he was a true gentlemen and Quinn loved that about him. She loved almost everything about Sam and she wouldn't shy away from telling him that, and Sam would tell her the same things.

Quinn's thoughts were interrupted when she heard a knock on her door; it was almost 11 o'clock, who was at her door at this hour? "Come in!" Quinn called, and Mercedes opened her door and entered.

"You're still up Miss. Quinn?" Mercedes asked smiling, she was very happy for Quinn, Quinn had never been so happy than she was when she was with Sam. Mercedes was happy for Quinn, but this relationship would not set well with Quinn's parents and even though they weren't here now, they would be at some point in time.

Quinn chuckled, "yes, I'm still up," Quinn said looking back down at the soldiers. She would usually stay up until Sam would sneak away from camp and come into her bedroom and spend the night with her although they didn't do anything.

Mercedes laughed and walked out of the room after closing the door, leaving Quinn alone to her thoughts. Quinn yawned; she was pretty tired and was a little annoyed at Sam for taking so long to get up here. She didn't like sleeping without him her with her, and she barely spent any time with him anymore since his captain always had him running errands. The night was the only time she had him to herself. Quinn yawned again and slowly walked to the bed, laying down and closing her eyes sleep finally taking her.

Sam laughed along with Artie and Mike at something that Artie had just said when his thoughts trail to Quinn. He looks up at her window and sees the lights turned out and this confuses him, Quinn usually waited for him to come to her room but today she went to sleep that was so unlike her. He had no idea what time it was, "hey Artie what time is it?" Sam asked still looking at Quinn's window.

Artie noticed this, "it's almost 11 man, you better get up there to your pretty little girlfriend before she gets mad," Artie said looking at his pocket watch and smirking.

Sam could practically hear Artie's smirk, he laughed and got up, saying goodbye to his fellow soldiers he walked into the large house, quietly walking towards Quinn's room.

When he got there, he knocked lightly before opening the door to revel a sleeping Quinn laying on her bed, her back to him. Sam smiled and walked over to her bed and slipped in beside her, wrapping his arms around her and whispering in her ear.

"Quinn, Quinn wake up," Sam whispered watching Quinn stir and shift in his arms; she turned around to face him.

"You're late," she said, trying to be annoyed with him but that was hard to do with his face so close to hers.

"I'm sorry," Sam said rubbing her arms up and down, "I just kind of lost track of time," Sam gently kissed her forehead and Quinn melted into his chest.

"I missed you today, it's like we never see each other during the day, the captain always has you doing work," Quinn mumbled into his chest.

Sam ran his hand through her hair sighing, "I know, but tomorrow the captain's going to town to have a word with the confederate army general all day, so I don't have anything to do, you think that you might be able to entertain me tomorrow?" Sam said kissing her hair lovingly, hands roaming all over her back.

Quinn smiled and nodded, and then her earlier thought about making love popped into her mind. She looked up at Sam, who was slowly drifting off to sleep. Quinn sighed, she was tired too, she snuggled deeper into his chest, closing her eyes and falling asleep in the safe embrace of Sam's arms.

The next morning Quinn woke up to the bright sunlight peaking through her curtains and hitting her face. She moaned and reached her hand to the other side of the bed, groaning when she didn't feel Sam next to her. Quinn opened her eyes to find Sam's note, on the bed beside her, the same place he always put his notes.

Quinn,

I'm sorry I had to leave, but I had to see off the captain before he goes off to meet with the confederates. But I'll come back, and this time I'll stay. Today's just you and me. We'll do what ever you want. You name it and we'll do it. I'll be back soon.

Love,

Sam

Quinn smiled at the note, she loved when she had some alone time with Sam, which was hard to come by these days. She knew that she and Sam had only known each other for about 1 month, but it seemed like so much more then that. It seemed like she knew him her entire life and she knew more then anything that she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life.

Sighing, Quinn finally rolled out of bed. She took a quick bath and got dressed, thinking about what she wanted to do today while waiting for Sam.

_SQ_

Sam persistently listened to the captain as he warned the soldiers about being foolish and doing things that could hurt the union power. When it was all said and done, Sam and the other's bid Captain Shuster goodbye as he rode off towards town.

"Hey Sam!" called Artie who was with Mike and a few other soldiers, "we're gonna all go play this new ball game Mike told us about, you wanna come?"

Sam politely shook his head, "sorry guys, Quinn wanted to spend sometime together today," Sam said shamelessly. Everyone on this plantation knew that he and Quinn were together.

Artie laughed, "of course man, leave us for your girlfriend, we see how it works now," Artie joked, causing Sam and the others to laugh.

"Well she doesn't like that I spend my time with you guys all the time," Sam said humorously, turning around to gaze at Quinn's house.

Artie smiled and the others snickered, "Well you better go spend some quality time her today because Captain Shue's going to be working us pretty hard the next few days," Artie said as the others started throwing around the odd shaped, burgundy ball.

"Yeah, I know," Sam replied, watching the other's throw the ball around.

Artie steeped closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder," good luck with your relationship man, I really hope it works out," Artie said intently.

Sam nodded, he and Quinn hadn't really talked about stuff like this but it was something that was always in the back of his mind. "Thanks man, I better get going," Sam said.

Artie nodded and they both went their separate ways.

Quinn quietly watched the clouds from her seat beside her window. She was dressed in a plain white dress that ended right above her knee; her hair was the way Sam liked it, down. She felt a pair of strong, familiar arms wrap around her stomach. She smiled and leaned into Sam, earning herself a kiss on the forehead. Quinn turned around in her seat, facing Sam, a smile on her face.

"Hi," she said, looking up at him, the smile never leaving her face.

"Hi," Sam repeated stroking her cheek before sitting beside her. He held her hand as she spoke, "so what do want to do today?"

Quinn shrugged laying her head on his shoulder gazing into the landscape, "I don't know, how about we do what you want to do," Quinn suggested.

"Ok," Sam said getting up and kneeling in front of her, "I want to show you something." Sam offered her his hand and helped her up off the chair.

"What?" Quinn asked curiously, giggling as Sam led her towards the door.

"You'll see," Sam replied, leading her out of the house towards the stables, picnic basket in hand.

After about an hour of riding, Sam finally stopped the horse. He jumped down and helped Quinn down. Quinn looked around at where he had just brought her.

"Where are we?" Quinn asked still looking around trying to figure out where they were. It was only an hour away from her house and she's never seen this place ever in her life.

"In the woods," Sam said gesturing to wards the tall trees as he tied the horse to a tree and picked up the picnic basket.

"You brought me to the woods?" Quinn asked raising an eye playfully; she really didn't care where she was as long as it was with Sam.

Sam laughed, "yes this is the woods, but our journey doesn't end here," he said taking her hand and leading her a little further into the woods and pulling her into the bright sunlight peeking through the woods.

Quinn gasped, it was a meadow; a beautiful field filled with lilies all around, but there was a grass path leading to the center of the meadow which was a bare circle with just grass.

Quinn looked up at Sam who was watching her with a smile, "what is this place?" she asked almost breathlessly.

"I got lost when I left you that day, and I stumbled upon this meadow," he said taking her hand pulling her across the path to the center of the meadow, "I stayed here for a while before I went back to camp, it reminded me of you, so beautiful and peaceful."

Quinn blushed, and looked around them in awe. "How come I've never been here before?" Quinn said, more to herself then Sam. Sam spread the picnic blanket on the ground and Quinn sat on it, patting the spot next to her, looking up at him.

Sam sat down beside her and started taking out containers of food from the basket, "It's hard to find, you wouldn't expect such a beautiful meadow to be in the woods," Sam said opening the containers to revel two sandwiches, he took out 2 bottles of water and some grapes.

Quinn giggled and took one of the sandwiches, "this is so romantic," she said taking a bit out of her sandwich, watching Sam do the same.

After they finished eating, Sam and Quinn were lying on their backs looking up at the clouds, which was ironically how their day started.

Quinn sighed contently, laying her head on Sam's chest. "I love you," she said as his arms wrapped around her.

Sam smiled, even though they frequently told each other they loved ne another, it still felt so good to hear her say those words. "I love you," Sam said kissing her hair and rubbing her back.

Quinn closed her eyes smiling. She loved Sam, and he loved her, the world around them might be total chaos, but they were in peace.

After about 15 minutes of lying there together, Sam was convinced Quinn was asleep before she spoke. "Is that a lake?" Quinn asked pointing to her left, where a small pond stood quietly.

Sam looked to his left, "yea, it's a pond," he said surprised when Quinn stood up and held her hand out to him.

"I want to go swimming," she said grinning. Sam took her hand and stood up.

"What?" he laughed, amused at Quinn's ambition, "do you even know how to swim?"

Quinn shrugged, "when you're the daughter of Russell Fabray you don't really get out much, and because I don't know how to swim that means you're going to have to rescue me," Quinn said smirking.

"What do you-?" Sam was cut off when Quinn let go of his hand and ran towards the pond, kicking off her shoes and jumping in feet first.

"Quinn!" Sam called terror in his voice. He quickly took off his shoes and jacket and jumped in after her. Sam paddled around the water looking for Quinn when she emerged panting. Sam quickly swam over to her and held her tightly making sure that she wasn't able to drown.

"Don't do that to me," Sam said seriously, "you could've drowned!"

Quinn laughed, "I could have, but my hero saved me," she said wrapping her legs around his waist and pulling his face towards her, she gave him a wet opened-mouth kiss. Sam kissed her back, his tongue pressed against her in an almost lazy fashion. Quinn smiled against his lips and finally broke away for air.

"Let's out of here," Quinn said realizing that it was almost nighttime and if she wanted this day to end on a blissful note she had to take her chances.

Quinn leaned her head against Sam's shoulder as he directed the horse back to Quinn's house. Sam smiled, the thought that this beautiful girl was actually his, hadn't really sunk in yet.

"What are you thinking about?" Quinn asked, running her hand over Sam's arm. They were close to her house and Sam had slowed down the horse, carefully directing it to her house.

"You," Sam said briefly turning his head and smiling at her. Quinn blushed, hoping that Sam couldn't see her, but she didn't really have much to hide from him. These past few weeks, they've pretty much gotten to know each other up and down, backwards and forewords, upside down and right side up. There was only one thing to get out of the way. But the reality was that they couldn't be together and someday he would have to leave, the idea of Sam leaving hurt.

"We're here," Sam said jumping off the horse and breaking Quinn's train of thought. He reached for Quinn and slowly eased her down but she clung to him.

"I don't want you to leave," Quinn sobbed into his neck, her arms tight around his neck.

Sam was surprised, but he quickly held Quinn and whispered in her ear, "don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'm never leaving you again," Sam whispered and rubbed her back.

Quinn pulled away to look at him, honesty and love shining in his eyes. "I love you," she said caressing his face.

"And I love you," Sam said smiling at her. Quinn bit her lip and pulled Sam towards her, crushing their lips together.

Sam was surprised, but happy. He kissed her back and wrapped his arms around Quinn's waist.

Quinn broke away the kiss and took the reins of the horse from Sam and handed them to the stable boy who was watching them from behind the door.

"Let's get out of here," she said pulling Sam with her to the house.

Once they were in, she quickly shut the door and ran up the stairs with Sam following after her. Sam didn't really know what to expect, but when Quinn pulled him into her room and slammed him against the closed door and started kissing him and tugging at his shirt, Sam understood her intention. He reluctantly pulled away and looked at her sincerely.

"Are you sure about this Quinn?" Sam asked seriously. He dreamed that something like this would happen, but now that it was, he was somewhat reluctant.

"I've never been more sure about anything else Sam," she whispered pressing her forehead against his, "I want you."

That was all Sam needed to hear. He turned them around, pressing her to the door, and started kissing her passionately. Quinn wrapped her legs around his waist, her dress exposing her thighs. She took her right hand and locked the door without breaking off their kiss. They continued kissing for a moment longer, not going any further. They both wanted to take their time; they had all night and the intended on making the most of their first time.

Finally Quinn got bored of this just kissing. She slowly let her feet fall to the ground and she pushed him towards her bed. Sam felt his knees hit the edge of the bed and Quinn pushed him down. He fell on the soft linen sheets of her bed and watched her as she climbed on top of him, straddling him.

Their lips find each other instantly as their tongues continue their battle for dominance. Sam rolled them over, so he could be on top. He trailed his lips from her face to her neck and he started kissing her neck, sucking gently. Quinn quickly unbuttoned Sam's shirt and within an instant, his shirt came off. Her hand attacked every inch of his body; she her hand up and down his muscular chest and firm stomach, his skin so hot. Sam lips went lower, kissing her collarbone, causing Quinn to let out the first moan.

Sam lips came in contact with her dress and he looked up at Quinn, his eyes asking permission to take off her dress. Quinn smiled and quickly nodded.

Sam fumbled over the zipper of her dress and Quinn giggled at his nervousness. She propped herself up on her elbows and assisted Sam in taking off her dress. They undid the zipper and her dress loosened around the neckline. Sam leaned up to kiss Quinn's lips. Quinn fell back onto the pillows.

"I love you," he said before pushing the dress down so that it was bunched up around her hips. Sam looked at Quinn's body; he was like a deer caught in headlights. Quinn felt blush rising to her face as Sam stared at her.

"What?" Quinn asked, her face as red as a tomato.

Sam shook his head, and kissed her again. "You're so beautiful," he whispered against her lips. Quinn blushed deeper, which she thought was impossible.

Sam tore his lips away from Quinn's and started kissing her neck. He sucked on her soft skin, biting occasionally, but gently. Quinn gasped as Sam trailed his lips down to her collar bone and then to the middle of her breasts. Sam smiled at her reaction he reached his hands up to remove her undergarment.

"Do you want me to?" Sam asked looking into Quinn's eyes as she nodded.

"Yes," she said, desperate to feel his hands on her. Sam swiftly removed her undergarment and stared at her again, just like he had a few moments ago, but more distinctively this time. He brought his hands up to her breasts and they hovered over them.

"Quinn?" Sam asked permission. Quinn quickly nodded and Sam hands firmly captured her breasts in his hands. Quinn moaned loudly, and Sam chuckled at her reaction. His hands felt so good on her, they were rough but gentle and they felt so good. Sam continued kneading her chest; he placed her nipples between her middle and index finger and rubbed the tips with his tongue.

Quinn made a sound that was between a moan and a whimper. Sam lifted one of his hands from her breast and replaced it with his mouth. "Sam!" Quinn gasped as his lips roamed all over her breast. Sam was pleased with her reaction and he replaced his lips with his tongue. Quinn continued to gasp and moan as Sam continued to please her with his mouth and hands.

After several minutes of Sam kissing all over her breasts, her stomach, her neck, and her face; Quinn felt Sam's erection through his pants and she reached down to take off. She quickly took them off and Sam assisted her in pulling them off.

Quinn rolled them over so that she was on top and crushed her mouth to Sam's kissing him passionately; she shook her dress off in the process. She trailed kisses down his body, just like he did her. Sam moaned, loving the way her soft lips trailed butterfly kisses down his chest and stomach. She kissed down his muscular chest, sometimes with her tongue or teeth. Her lips reached down to the waistband of his undershorts and she sat up, looking at him before she pulled them off.

She looked down at his hard member in awe. Sam watched her as she eyed his groin and he gave a little laugh before flipping them around again so that he was straddling her. He looked down at the beautiful girl beneath him and smiled. He leaned down and kissed her, their chests pressed together.

"I love you so much Sam," Quinn whispered as Sam kissed her.

"I love you too. So, so much," Sam whispered back. The rest of the room was quiet besides their heavy breathing, moans, and gasps. Sam hands grazed Quinn's body and he reached her underwear, he looked up at her, again asking to take them off. Quinn nodded hurriedly wanting to get them off.

Sam pulled off her underwear and looked at her again, this time completely naked. "You're so beautiful," he said before kissing her thighs.

Quinn moaned as Sam kissed her thighs. Sam was happy with her reaction and he decided to try something. He trailed his lips up to her sensitive skin and kissed her, hot, wet flesh. Quinn whimpered as his tongue made contact with her susceptible skin.

"Sam!" Quinn screamed, she never was so out of control, but this was something totally different.

Sam continued to slide his tongue up and down her slits, and when his tongue entered her Quinn let out a high-pitched scream. Sam lifted his face and kissed her lips, caressing her thighs with his hands. She wrapped her fingers around his member, caressing it softly. Sam doesn't stop kissing her. However, as he hand moved up and down his shaft, Quinn could feel that his focus drifts. Satisfied by his reaction, she speeds up the rhythm. Now he had to stop kissing her. He was now breathing hard and moaning.

"God, Quinn," Sam moaned, she removed her hand trailed it up his body. She pulled his face to her and met their lips together once again.

"I'm ready Sam," she said breaking off their kiss and looking into his eyes. Sam nodded and put his hands on her hips.

"You know, I've never done this before," Sam laughed, Quinn smiled at his shyness.

"Neither have I," Quinn said looking down; Sam looked at her and lifted her chin up and put a soft kiss on her lips.

"I love you," he said readjusting himself. Sam thrust into her slowly, he was careful, but soon he forgot all about his doubts, and was completely overtaken by the magnificent bliss and ecstasy of their connection. Quinn ran her hands all over his body, continuing to tremble under him. Sam kept going faster, he watching her eyes closely to make sure that he wasn't doing too much or pushing in too hard. Quinn wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, begging him to go faster and harder.

Sam was almost there, and he could tell from her face that Quinn was too.

He sucked on her neck and moved his lips down to her chest, felling her walls clench around him tightly. Quinn let out the deepest moan yet, she had never felt so alive in her entire life.

They both came at the same time. Panting and breathless, Sam rolled off of her and lay beside Quinn, pulling her on top of him. Quinn tucked her head into the crook of his neck.

"I love you," Sam whispered after awhile, making Quinn smile. She had never felt more loved in her entire life, and she doubted that she ever would feel more loved by anyone else.

"I love you too," Quinn said, and together they fell asleep, peaceful and loved.
