In the middle of the woods, completely secluded…i love this…

Shannon followed Candy through the sliding door, closing it behind him.

"Candy, are you really gonna stay mad at me?"

Candy looked at him, as if thinking it over for a second.

"No," she finally answered, "now sit down."

Candy ran a washcloth under the water. She took it over to Shannon and gently rubbed the paint from his forehead.

"How does it feel," she asked, setting the washcloth down on the counter.

Shannon grabbed her waist, pulling her closer to him.

"It'd feel better if you kissed it," Shannon said, smiling up at her.

"Mmm, like this," Candy asked, leaning forward and kissing him lightly on the forehead.

"It hurts lower."

Candy kissed the bridge of his nose.

"A little lower."

Candy kissed his lips gently.

"It's feeling better already."

Candy wound her arms around Shannon's neck and asked, "Are you really okay?"

"I promise I'll be fine."

"Well, I still think you need to lie down."

"Candy, I'll be…oh yea, you're right, I should definitely lie down," Shannon said in mock seriousness.

Candy smiled and took his hand, leading Shannon up the stairs.

They entered her room, and Candy closed the door with a soft click.

Shannon and Candy sat next to each other on her bed. Shannon pushed a lock of hair behind Candy's ear.

"Do we need to talk about this," he asked.

"No. It's not like I'm celibate, I've just been waiting for the right guy, and I finally found you."

"I just don't want you to regret anything."

"I won't Shannon. This is my choice to make and I choose you."

With that Candy leaned forward, capturing Shannon's lips with her own. Shannon grasped her head in his hand, as his tongue dived into her mouth.

Candy pushed Shannon's shirt up, pulling it over his head and tossing it to the floor. She explored the newly discovered territory, claiming it for her own. They fell back onto the bed.

Candy rolled on top, straddling Shannon. She sat looking down at him and smiled.

Shannon took her left hand in his right and intertwined their fingers. He brought their hands to his lips and kissed her fingers.

Candy detangled her fingers, only so she could pull her shirt over her head.

Shannon stared up at Candy, her lacy bra clinging to her breasts. His placed his hands on her waist and slowly slide them up her side, stroking her smooth skin.

Shannon sat up to kiss her, but Candy pushed him down by his shoulders. She came to him, kissing his lips lightly. She moved to his jaw, and then his neck, as Shannon's hands moved up her back and unclasped her bra. He slipped it down her arms, and dropped it uselessly to the ground.

The next thing she knew, Shannon had flipped her over and now had his weight settled between her legs.

Shannon grazed his lips down her throat; he took a nipple in his mouth, flicking his tongue over it as he felt it harden. He rocked against her, grinding himself against her core, while he sucked on one breast and then the other.

Shannon trailed lower, unbuttoning her jeans; he pulled them along with her panties down her legs. He brought his lips back to hers. They kissed passionately while Candy's hands fumbled between them undoing Shannon's pants. Shannon kicked his pants off, yanking his boxers off too.

"Crap, my wallet..."

Candy cut him off before he could get up.

"In the drawer."

Shannon leaned over, pulling open the drawer of the nightstand. His hand searched finally coming in contact with the little foil packet. He ripped it open with his teeth and used one hand to slide the condom on.

Shannon looked into Candy's eyes, and she stared back into his green ones.

"You know this is gonna hurt, right," Shannon asked.

Candy nodded, biting her lip, and grasping Shannon's shoulders with her hands.

"I trust you."

"Are you ready?"

Candy's nervous eyes quivered beneath Shannon's intense gaze.

"Yes."

Shannon bent his head. Their lips met in a fierce kiss. Candy gasped against Shannon's mouth as he slammed into her. Shannon held himself inside her, unmoving.

"Are you alright," he asked, his voice layered thick with concern.

"Truthfully? I don't know," Candy added a half-hearted laugh.

Shannon kissed her soft lips, resting his forehead against hers, "Do you want me to keep going?"

"Yea."

"I'm gonna go slow, okay?"

Candy nodded her head and tightened her grip on Shannon's arms.

Shannon slowly slid out until just the tip of his manhood was inside her. He concentrated on her face, making sure every movement of his was approved by her. He glided back in and continued the process. Sweat dripped from his forehead as he held himself back, trying to keep a steady rhythm. Slowly, Candy's facial expressions relaxed.

Shannon felt his lower parts twitch when he thought he heard Candy moan something.

"What did you say," Shannon asked, unsure if he could believe his own ears.

Candy blushed.

"It's okay. What is it," Shannon asked again.

Candy buried her face in the crook of his arm.

"Faster."

"It's okay." Shannon used his own head to nudge hers so that he could see her face. "It's okay," he said smiling and kissing her lips.

Shannon braced his arms and sped up. His head fell forward in ecstasy when Candy moaned beneath him.

Candy wrapped her legs around Shannon's waist, holding on tightly as he pounded into her.

"Oh god, Shannon. It's so good."

Shannon exploded as Candy tightened around him. He held her in his arms as she shook beneath him.

"That was amazing," Candy said looking up at him.

Shannon kissed her quickly on the lips, "I'll be right back, and you stay here and don't move."

Candy nodded and curled into the bed, grabbing one more kiss before she let Shannon go. A few minutes later Shannon reappeared in a pair of boxers with a wet washcloth, Candy stretched out on the bed while Shannon knelt on the bed cleaning her off. He tosses the cloth in the hamper and climbed into bed next to Candy, scooping her into his arms.

"So a giant paintball game, eh?"

Candy giggled in his arms.

"I was bored and there were guns and there were cell phones…it kinda just happened."

Shannon propped himself up on one elbow. Candy rolled onto her back, looking up at him.

"I don't believe that," Shannon said, shaking his head, "you woke up this morning and knew exactly what you were gonna do."

"Well," Candy said drawing out the word, "I can't say I'm not amazing."

"I couldn't say that about you either," Shannon said, nuzzling her neck.
