CHAPTER SIX

Forget the plans, forget everything; this moment right here was what mattered. The two of them finally coming together in every way possible; their bodies, hearts and souls uniting as one. The rest of the world was nothing but a vague memory. Tonight was going to be all about them, and no one else.

Nick started unzipping Adalind's dress as she finished unbuttoning his shirt and took it off. He started kissing her neck as he let her dress slip off her body. He could feel her breathing harder. The heat was rising between them. Adalind unzipped his pants, letting them fall off, not noticing the little velvet box that fell onto the floor. He picked her up in his arms without taking his lips off her and moved towards the bed. He slowly lay her down and forced himself to break the kiss even though every single muscle in his body begged him not to.

"Adalind..."

"Nick..." Adalind whispered. "Make love to me."

Nick smiled. Her wish was his command.

He unhooked her bra and slowly took it off. He then made his way down to her panties and slipped them off. He started kissing her, tasting her sweet lips and savoring every second of it. Her hands, caressing his hair at first, slowly made their way down to his back until they reached his boxer shorts. She slid them off, sending shivers of pleasure down his spine.

Nick opened his eyes for a second and looked at her. He loved her so much. He needed her, his entire body ached for her. She opened her eyes as well and noticed the look in his eyes; no one had ever looked at her the way he did. She felt so special, unique, like she was the only thing that mattered to him in the entire universe.

"I love you so much..." Nick said.

"I know" she whispered.

"I love you" he repeated.

She kissed him, pulling him down to let him know that they were done talking. She knew he loved her, now she wanted him to show her just how much.

Nick slid inside of her and felt her body shiver underneath him. She wasn't cold, just the opposite. Her skin burned against his as the heat continued to rise. Her breath started to accelerate as he moved inside of her. She could feel the pleasure mounting as every part of her succumbed to him. She couldn't get enough of him; his soft lips kissing every inch of her, his gentle hands leaving her skin tingling as he caressed her. She started moaning, driving Nick to slow down. He didn't want to rush things, he wanted this moment to last forever. He moved his lips away from hers and started kissing her neck, making his way down to her breasts. He found her nipples and licked them gently, then sucked on them until he heard her let out a soft moan.

"Oh... Nick..." she breathed.

The way she whispered his name made his insides melt. He came back up and started kissing her again. Adalind's hands were sliding up and down his back, her touch felt like fire. As he continued to move inside of her, he felt it again; that feeling deep down inside of him that made his chest want to explode. The tension increased, their bodies felt like hot liquid, melting, only to fuse back together to become one. They both moved in unison for a while, fitting so perfectly together. Nick could feel Adalind's heart beating underneath his, her breath tickling his lips, her nails digging into his back, her legs tightening around his waist. Their motion intensified until they both reached climax. Nick rolled onto his back as Adalind threw her head back in ecstasy.

"That was..." Adalind said out of breath.

"Perfect" Nick finished her thoughts.
