Paige stiffened, her whole body tensing into a rigid line as Emily's words pierced the armor of her wrath. She stared at her with so much intensity that for a brief moment her jaw was tight and hard, she then leaned back against the mantel and closed her eyes.

Paige was fighting it, fighting her, trying to shut her out and Emily knew it. In a paralysis of fear Emily waited and watched Paige.

Emily was thinking 'this is it' oh God 'this is it'. It seemed like an eternity before Paige reluctantly straightened. Her big brown eyes nicked open, meeting hers straight, and Emily's heart gave a wild leap. She had won! She could see it in the slight softening of Paige's rugged features. Oh God, she had won!.

Paige looked first at the long stretch of carpet separating them, and then at her. When she spoke, the harsh edge of her voice was tempered, but her words were low and meaningful.

"I'll not make this any easier for you," Paige told her evenly.

The distance between them stretched for what felt like a mile and Emily knew that Paige meant she would have to make the trip across the room to her if she desperately wanted her as she had stated, that she would not so much as meet her halfway . . . No, Nay, Nope, Never! Even now, Paige didn't entirely trust Emily.

Paige with a straight face and unblinking eyes never left hers. As Emily started walking toward her on legs that felt heavy as a rock, one mere step away from Paige, she had to pause to still the slamming of her heart and quaking of her knees. Emily took the final step on legs that felt as if they were about to buckle beneath her, she stopped so close to her that her breasts were only inches from Paige's white shirt.

Emily still didn't have the confidence to hold Paige or even look straight at her, so with her head bowed she waited, the seconds ticked by and Paige still made no move to say anything or even do what Emily desperately wanted for her to do, that is to hold her. Like Hanna said to her "You will have to be the one to crawl this time Em". Emily swallowed any pride she may have ever possessed and finally lifted her head and raised her brown eyes shining with tears, an apology and surrender.

"Paige... would you please," she whispered achingly. "hold me now?".

Paige still didn't move, she stood there looking her in the eyes as she had been doing then quietly says. "You hurt me Emily". Emily was touched, this was the first time Paige said her name since the night they made love and she was being vulnerably and open.

"I know, and am sorry" Emily softly and honestly answered. "Don't do it again". Paige warns in a low stern voice. Emily desperately replies "by God I won't!".

Paige started to reach for her and stopped . . . then she caught her arms and jerked Emily to her, crushing Emily against her chest as her mouth came down hungrily on hers. With a smothered moan of joy, Emily returned the kiss, glorifying in the feel of her lips locked fiercely to hers.

Twining her arms around Piage's neck, she pressed against her, fitting her melting body to that of hers. Paige leaned into Emily and her hands tightened possessively on her back and hips, molding her closer to her, sliding up her spine, then lower, gathering her willing body into her.

"God, how I've missed you!" Paige whispered hoarsely against her lips, and she deepened the kiss. At the first tentative touch of her tongue, Emily's lips parted without further urging, and Paige groaned, holding her tighter as her tongue plunged into her sweet softness, searching with an almost desperate urgency taking what she was offering, which was everything.

The exquisite feeling of Emily in her arms, the taste of her lips dinging into her, the fullness of her breast against her palms was an unbearable joy to Paige. She couldn't go on but she was afraid to stop . . . afraid that if she broke the contact, Emily would vanish and the aching desire racking her would become an aching emptiness instead.

When she finally tore her mouth from Emily's, she kept her arms around her, resting her chin atop her shiny head, waiting for her breathing to even out. Emily stayed there as if being in Paige's arms were the only place in the world she wished to be.

Drawing back slightly, Paige looked down into the loving eyes of Emily and quietly asked. "Are you willing to really stay married to me?".

Emily nodded. She nodded, because she could not speak.

"Why?" She persisted evenly. "Why do you want to really do it this time?".
From the moment she had made it across the room to Paige, rather than meeting her halfway, Emily had known Paige was going to require an unconditional surrender from her, she knew what she was demanding of her now.

Through joy and tears and relief constricting her breath, she found her voice and softly said.
"Because I love you Paige Nicklaus McCullers, I am so in love with you it hurts".

Paige's arms closed around her with stunning force. "God help you if you don't mean it Emily!" She warned fiercely, "because I'll never let you go again".

Shamelessly yearning to be kissed again, Emily whispered, "I shall be very happy to prove to you that I do mean it 110%". Emily saw Paige's eyes darken with passion as she bent her head to her, and she leaned up on her toes to prove it. For the first time on her own, Emily kissed Paige with all the aching and longing that being this close to her evoked, she kissed her in all the ways she wished she had ever kissed her, feeling faint with joy when she began to kiss her back, her mouth moving with fierce tenderness, then opening with fiery demand over hers, until their breaths were mingled gasps, and they were straining to one another

It was Paige who broke the kiss again, and forced her hands to stop their exploration, the pleasure/ torture of caressing the curves and voluptuous body that had haunted her dreams. But she kept her in her arms, tangling her hand in her heavy hair, loving the familiar texture of it. "Emily, why did you make me wait so long?" She breathed.

Leaning back, Emily tipped her head in the direction of the dining room where Brook was. "Why couldn't you have waited a little longer?".

"Oh Emily" she chuckled tenderly, "you are the only girl alive who would bring up Brook at a time like this. You have nothing to worry about, its a long story and I shall tell you all about it I promise but for now just know Brook was pulling your leg all along". Emily smiles and nodds, She knew it.

There was a long silence, both of them hugging, just feeling the warm of each other until Paige spoke.

"Perhaps you would like to repeat those three words you said to me just seconds ago?. I would like to give you a more suitable respond than just kissing".

Emily pulls back looking at Paige nodding happily, but her voice suddenly filled with tears. "Certainly".

"I love you Paige". Emily whispers shyly laying her trembling hand on Paige's chest around her heart, feeling it beat fast in excitement this time. "I love you so very much" she said again smiling then looking down.

Tipping her chin up, Paige looked deeply into her eyes and quietly said, "I love you too Emily, very much". After kissing her again for some time Paige pulls away grinning.

"Now that my sweet wifey is a vast improvement". Emily tried to smile back at her, but Paige saw tears glistening in her eyes. Cupping her face between both her hands, gazing at her misty brown eyes. "Why the tears again Emily?".

"Because" Emily whispered brokenly "until this moment, I was certain you would never ever say that to me". With a groaning laugh, Paige hugged her tightly.

"Oh Emily, I have loved you since the day you blasted us at the meeting in Wayne's house. After announcing I was either Katherine or Geeta then swore not to marry me if I was the last female standing". Paige had loved her from that moment, right there and she knew Emily was the match she had always wanted for herself.

Akin tapped lightly on the door, then stepped into the study and closed the door behind him. He grinned wickedly at his sister, who tightened her arms possessively around Emily.

"Excuse me, sis dearest, but Brook insisted on saying goodnight to you personally and Uncle Ian wants to talk".

Paige groans."Is dinner over?".
Akin nodded "for awhile now, if you will leave me with Emily for a few minutes, Brook and Uncle Ian will be really happy. I promise I won't bite her".

"Akin" Paige said sternly, but with a slow grin, "do not strain the bonds of sisterly affection beyond what you already have all evening. I'll attend to them of course, but I want to have some more time with my wifey".

Emily intervened. "I should go and freshen up, that will give you time to say good night and talk to Uncle Ian". Emily sighed, she didn't want to part from Paige but she reluctantly pulled out of her arms so Paige could go finish with them.

Paige ignoring her brother's presence, pulled her closer and kissed her with tender thoroughness. "I'll be back in half an hour, maybe an hour, will you wait up for me?".

Emily nodded, but as Paige starteded to exit from the room, Emily turned facing her and Akin.
"Paige?" she said softly, her voice threaded with tears.

"When Brook asked about my 'accomplishment' tonight, I forgot to mention that I do have one and it's so splendid that it compensates for my lack of all the others".

Akin and Paige grinned at each other, neither of them hearing the emotion that clouded her voice.
"What 'splendid accomplishment' is that, Emily?". Akin asked.

Emily looking straight at Paige with so much love obvious from her eyes.

"I made you love me" she whispered brokenly. "Somehow, some way, I actually made you love me".

The laughter faded from Paige's face, replaced by an expression so intense, so profoundly proud, that Akin quietly left the two of them alone.

Paige emerged from her study a few minutes later on her way to face Brook and Uncle Ian. She flashed a quick grateful grin at her brother, moving her head toward the study doors and said in a low loving voice, "Akin, please do not leave Emily alone unless she's going to bed. I don't want her alone and lonely ".

:

While Paige was meeting Brook and Uncle Ian, Akin stayed with Emily as instructed. Emily sat across from Akin in the study, trying to vanquish her sudden embarrassment over the earlier part of the evening. Finally, she clasped her hands in her lap and regarded him directly.

"Whatever made you want me to stay for dinner when it was so obvious that Paige didn't want me here at all? What made you help me when you could have been harsh or mean since Spencer must have told you what I did to your dearest sister?".

"You don't get it Emily, you aren't just any woman, you're THE woman". Akin said then continued.

"I know when Paige is hurt and when she is really hurt- in- love. I have seen it just once, years ago. I would have done anything to save her from herself, you must have noticed how stubborn she is? You can't imagine what a pain in the ass she has been these last few days". Emily laughed, of coursed she knows, after all she is her wife.

:

Two hours later, Paige came in to the study to meet Akin reading some papers on the desk. Akin looks at her and ungraciously hinted.

"I imagine you're exhausted from everything that has happened today, you better retire I know some Mrs will be waiting anxiously". He laughed then continued.

"I myself happen to be exhausted from Paily stuff". he winks at her smiling, ignoring Paige's daggers.
"I better get go ready for my baby. I am pretty certain she will be angry, hungry and exhausted when she comes back. B, I will be the one to take care of all that when you're the one that she is supposed to be mad at". Paige didn't deny it she kept quite and sat down opposite Akin. So akin immediately started talking of what he has been meaning to talk to his big sister about.

"B you're still a bad ass. You let Emily and I think something was going on between you are Brook. I confronted her when you and Emily left. She told me everything". Akin grinning, but eyeing his sister. Paige now spoke.

"I will tell you all about what happened another day for now I wanna ask you two questions please". Grinning, Akin stretched his long legs out on the desk.
"I rather thought you might, Batman". Paige then asks.

"Did you know Spence was bringing her?". Akin nodded.
"we had it planned since the day you landed here". Leaning forward, Paige rested her forearms on her knees, staring at Akin.
"How much do you and Spence know?".

Akin considered lying because it was kinder, but he abandoned the idea when looking at Paige. They have never lied to each other. "Everything". Akin admitted with a sigh.
"Everything including the harm she did you. So, when I spoke to Spence we decided that since her loss had done such damage to you, We would restore her to you, save you both from yourselves, that is".

Paige nodded her acceptance of Akin's explanation. "I have one further question," she said gravely.

"You said you had two questions, and you've already reached your limit sis". Akin warned jokingly.

Ignoring that, Paige said in a low, solemn voice,
"Akin, I would like to know what I have within my power to give you, to express my profound gratitude?".

"You already have". Akin grins softly.

"How so?". Paige asks quietly.

"You accepted me as your brother and Ma as your mother when you could have refused or protested Dad against it. We weren't your equals, but you both accepted and love us. My life, this wonderful life of mine is real, to a lot of people it only happens in fairytales. You wouldn't let me be anything less than perfect growing up. You were a hard ass, but a perfect sister. You shaped my life B, I just want you truly happy for once". Akin softly finished. It took Paige a moment to compose herself before standing up and pulling Akin into a hug. She kissed his head and spoke.

"I love you Akin, you are the best brother anyone could ever have. You're my brother don't ever thank me for that". Akin nodded emotionally then started to the door, but turns to Paige.

"And I hate cranky and stubborn Paige, I will take a happy one a thousand times and over". Paige laughs as he waves her goodnight.

:

Later, as Paige walks into her room she finds Emily sleeping peacefully with the lights off, just a reflection of light from the slightly open bathroom door was the only light in the room. Paige went and freshened up and came to the bed and quietly climbs in not to wake Emily and lay just starring at her. Just then Emily opens her eyes looking back at Paige. Without saying anything she shifted closer to Paige kissing her hard, Emily's fingertips instantly found the exposed skin of Paige's middle.

"I've missed you so much Paige" Emily husked into her wife's ear.

"And, now that I'm finally here, I want to fix it, fix us" she continued, her lips sealing around Paige's earlobe before blazing a trail down the sensitive skin

Paige shivered beneath Emily's touch, her center instantly clenching as she listened to the brunette's lusty proclamation, her eyes falling shut as those fingers she had experienced work their magic on her body far too few times before made their way further into her pants. Paige's body was screaming for Emily's miraculous hand and fingers to move to exactly where it longed for them to be. She wanted the tan girl to take her, to claim her as her own but, unfortunately, her head was saying otherwise.

As the tip of Emily's middle finger traced the line of Paige's slit over the fabric of her shorts, her hips thrust upward, desperately seeking the friction of her wife's erotic touch, though just when the tip of Emily's finger grazed the tip of Paige's aching clit, her right hand instantly betrayed the rest of her body, quickly grasping her strong forearm to resolutely tug that gloriously wandering hand from within the confinement of her pants and hastily lacing their fingers together. Paige then lovingly kissed the back of Emily's knuckles before bringing their joined hands down to rest over her rapidly beating heart.

"Sleep, Emily ". Paige gently whispered.

Hurt instantly flashed through Emily's eyes in the wake of Paige's unexpected rejection. Paige unable to bear seeing the disappointment that currently filled her wife's expression immediately leaned down to capture her lips with her own. She didn't want to hurt Emily, she never wanted to see her upset but she just couldn't seem to accommodate her advances right now either. And so. . . she kissed her, pouring her heart and her soul all of her own hurt, longing, and desire into the intimate joining of their lips.

Pulling away, Emily silently searched Paige's magical brown eyes and exhausted from the day she merely nodded, though she knew she couldn't let this fester for very long. It was obvious that even though Paige was trying her damnedest to appear to be even though she'd graciously done everything in her power to assure her that she has forgiven her, Paige's pride was still bruised her heart still wounded by those hurtful words from her.

So, knowing that it would take a little time, realizing that she had unintentionally hurt her wife and caused her to not trust her, Emily momentarily agreed to Paige's request. She was honestly just happy to be lying in Paige's arms again and so, the rest could wait. She would wait for Paige to come to her senses to realize that she has fought for her and finally ready to love her unconditionally.

Emily kissed the crook of the smooth soft neck. "I love you Paige. Thank you so much for giving us another chance". Emily earnestly whispered, her head coming to rest against Paige's chest, her eyes remaining open as she stared off into the darkness of the night.

With a heavy breath leaving her body, Paige's own eyes gazed up at the ceiling, the controversial altercation between her heart and her head tormenting her into complete unrest. She also whispers."Sleep well, Emily. I love you, too".

Later on that night, Paige still lay on the bed awake, her hands linked behind her head, still staring at the ceiling. She could hardly believe that Emily was here, that after fighting against her so fiercely, for so long, she had come tonight and fought to recover what they had begun together.

She thought of the way Emily had faced her in the study, daring her to deny that she still wanted her. And then she smiled in the darkness, remembering the way she had crossed the long room to her, her head held high, her eyes shining with love and surrender. That memory, that one memory of Emily coming to her, casting aside her pride and stubbornness because Emily loved her, would endure in her heart for as long as she lived. Nothing would ever mean more to her than that very moment in time.

Tomorrow though, she would ask her for a complete explanation for what had happened to change her attitude so drastically between that dreadful day and today. With a wry grin, she thought of how her life will really be now, really married to the tempestuous sleeping beauty beside her. For them to move forward she needed them to clear the air, trust that they both wanted this marriage to work.

:

Emily awoke from a deep sleep, groggy with unfinished dreams and rolled over, unwilling to relinquish them. She opened her eyes, simultaneously recognizing her approximate location. She stayed on the bed thinking of everything that had transpired yesterday. She smiles and stands to go to the bathroom to freshen up and go look for Paige. As she was opening the door, she heard knocking on the main door, she turns and goes to open. Emily see's one of the help from yesterday who tells her Paige said to tell her that Piage, Spencer and akin have gone to the office and will be back before lunch.

Emily bathed quickly, eager to see Paige, to reassure herself that Paige didn't regret letting her win last night, she pulled her long hair back and caught it at the nape with a bow, she wore a simple V neck blue dress then she dashed out of the room fast. Emily went downstairs for breakfast and waited anxiously for Paige's return

After breakfast she went for a walk along the massive mansion and admired the beautifully put together surroundings and came back to the wide balcony of their room. Emily sat down with the book she was reading yesterday, she notices she had to reread those pages she read yesterday because she couldn't even remember what she read in the state she was in yesterday. She laughed at herself and started again.

After about an hour and a half sitting and engrossed in the book, Emily didn't even notice Paige standing there admiring her beauty and smiling to herself for a few minutes.

Paige had finally agreed on one of the proposals Spencer gave her this morning.

When they met this morning, Paige just hugged Spencer and said "I know I know, I'm sorry and thank you". Spencer understood what she meant, she was thanking her and apologizing for what she put her and her husband through. Spencer just gave her a kiss and said. "you're welcome, you're finally home".

All the members where so happy the deal was signed and sealed.

Uncle Ian left for the U.S. so Paige left Akin and Spencer to finished up the paper work all she wanted was to rush back to Emily.

Paige stood dressed in a blue jeans a blue shirt and a black suit jacket. She looked beautiful, tall with her broad-shouldered. When Emily raised her head and saw her, her pulse raced giddily.

Paige slightly stood leaning at the door smiling and watching Emily coming toward her. Emily scanned her lovely face for signs that she regretted her capitulation last night, or resented her for making it so difficult for her.

And then Emily stood right in front of her gentle, still smiling shyly into her searching gaze and spoke. "It's most embarrassing," she said softly, "to know that everyone is going to say that my wife is much more beautiful than me".

Paige couldn't help herself. She grabbed Emily into her arms, crushing Emily to her, hugging her, burying her face in the fresh fragrance of her hair. "My God!" She whispered hoarsely. "How I survived this long without you baffles me". She kissed her hard and passionately with everything she has. Emily did nothing, but got lost in the kiss.

She felt her whole body go momentarily rigid in the kiss. Paige grinned against her mouth; Emily came to her! Paige realized that she will never hurt Emily. Emily has trusted her enough to let her love her and to also love again. Paige promise that she will show her all the love in the world, she will spoil her with everything she has got. She would make her wild with want, until she was clinging to her, writhing beneath her in a sweet yearning to be taken.

"Paige.." Emily said happily.

"Um?, I love to hear you say my name. It makes me want to take you in my arms, to have your sweet tongue in my mouth, to caress your breast and feel your nipples rise up proudly against my hand". Emily shyly looked away. Paige continued, "but first things first, there are some things between us that need to be settled and I would like to do that now, so that the past can be buried and forgotten". She held Emily's hand as she walks to the seats to sit down. Emily turned her head away, and Paige added quietly, "I think you already know what I want to ask".

Emily knew she wanted an explanation for her actions that day and she nodded, drawing a long breath. "You see, when I woke Paige I panicked, like I said yesterday. When we did what we did.."

"We made love Emily". Paige smiles correcting her. She wants her to feel free to say her mind. There is nothing to be ashamed or shy about as far as Paige is concerned. Emily nodded and continued. "You said something Paige used to say to me and I panicked. Your voice is the same, though yours is a little bit huskier. Not that I'm comparing no. You should understand it wasn't my intention to say all those things, but Paige you didn't give me time and worse you provoked me. I know I hurt you, but you need to help me by making things easier for me not harder.

Emily told her about her dream, what she really wanted to happen the next day and how everything changed when she woke in panic and feeling guilty.

Paige listened without interrupting. When she was finished, she asked, "What made you decide to come here last night, after hating me as you have for all these weeks and I hurting you back?".

"My feelings towards you. I know you have known for sometime I have already fallen for you, I just couldn't deny it any longer. Hanna, Eva and some other things made me realize I was misjudging you".

"What... ?" Paige said on a note of alarm, "do they know about us?".

In a small voice, Emily admitted, "Eva not everything, but I promised her I would make it right". She saw her flinch and hesitantly said, "Now may I ask you something?"

"Anything," Paige said gravely.

"Anything," Emily teased, "within your power, and within reason?".

"Anything!". Paige declared firmly, but with a grin soothing Emily's hair.

"Why did you say those things back to me Paige. I know I hurt you, but you said some mean things to me too?".

With self disgust filling her voice, Paige answered her question.

"That's how I lash out when am angry". She looked away.

"I'm sorry Emily, but I promise to check my self no matter what in future. I will spend my days making it up to you, I promise". Emily held Paige's chin so they were looking at each other

"We will probably fight again, that's what couple do, but we should iron everything out together no matter what".

"I promise". Emily gave her a peck and they continue holding each other just watching the view.

After spending sometime just watching the view, Emily stood up showing paige the part she likes the most when she earlier strolled out. Paige still sat watching her with so much love.

"There is more to be enjoyed here than the view Emily". She announced from the seat. "Come here, and I'll show you".

"Yeah?". Emily asked biting her lips.

"Yeah, the view is breathtaking, but not as breathtaking as someone else". They both look as each other shyly and look away.

"We should go down for a walk the atmosphere is nice". Emily suggested.

"We could," Paige said agreeably, then she added, "another day".

"Why don't we do it now?". Emily asked Paige with a pleading determination. She didn't want Paige to go back to any work today.

"You are free for the rest of the day isn't it?".

"Because I want to kiss you," paige replied simply.

Emily spun around in relieved disbelief. "You only want to kiss me? I mean you won't try to-to..". Emily raising her brows teasing Paige.

She too knows with the way they are both feeling, kissing wasn't the only thing Paige wanted now that they have an understanding.

She understood why Paige didn't want to go into it last night. She caused it, she made Paige lack full confidence, but not that they have ironed things out, Paige was back full time.

They atmosphere is tensed she could feel it the way they kissed, hell emily has been thinking of all the things she was going to do to Paige if she forgives her since New York.

"Oh darling, come here," Paige laughed softly, noting her flaring color.

With a sigh of joyous relief, Emily went to her. She started to sit down beside her, but Paige caught her arms and drew her down onto her lap.

"You will be more comfortable if you're up here". She teased.

Sliding her arms around her, Paige pulled her tighter against her. Without urging she turned her face up for the kiss. Paige brushed her lips against her temple; she kissed her smooth forehead and her cheek. She closed her eyes with her lips, avoiding her mouth lest she frighten her with her ardor, but she drew back in surprise at her muffled laugh.

Paige's mouth crushed down on hers. She felt her hands glide up her chest and go around her neck, and Paige's heart began to hammer. As her lips parted beneath her, desire began to heat her blood, and when her tongue crept timidly into her mouth, a jolt slammed through Paige's entire nervous system, exploding her control. She kissed her deeply, her mouth moving with half-fierce, half-gentle urgency, and she moaned, kissing her back with desire and passion exquisite on her lips. Paige tormented her with her tongue, retreating, then thrusting deep until she instinctively responded in the way she wanted.

Her hand moved of its own accord, opening her dress to cup her breast, her thumb circling her hardened nipple. Under her cotton dress, her thrusting breast came to life in her hand, thrilling and warning her at the same time. Her soft moans of pleasure raced through Paige, throbbing in her ears. Paige forced her hand away, only to have it slide downward, lightly grazing her flat stomach, then her shapely thigh, instinctively seeking the place where, without the barrier of her underwear, she could part her silken thighs and gently, tenderly, tease her beautiful trembling girl until she was melting with desire for her, wanting her as badly as she wanted her. Paige's mouth began to plunder hers more urgently, more hungrily now.

Paige tore her mouth away from Emily's, her breathing was hard and fast, her blood was roaring in her ears, and a fire was raging wildly through her veins. She moved Emily up against her chest, with the rigid evidence of her desire, she looked down at her intently, desperate to join her body with hers. Both not saying anything, both knowing they desperately wanted each other, Paige stood up with Emily holding her by the neck and walked back into the room just looking at each other . . .

She carried Emily to the big bed they had slept in last night. Paige promising herself, every step of the way, that this time would be so perfect for them both, that the other time would be banished from their memory. She slipped her hand from beneath Emily's knees, the gliding feel of Emily's legs sliding down her thighs made Paige's hands tremble as she unzipped the zipper and tenderly shoved the cotton gown aside.
Her rosy-tipped breasts gleamed in the light from the fire across the room.

"My God, you are beautiful". She breathed, and felt her body quiver sharply.

Emily closed her eyes and turned her head away, Paige saw the flush that swept up her long shapely legs, her slender curves, staining the glowing tan skin right up to her hairline. Out of consideration for her obvious embarrassment, Paige spoke.

"Emily, you do not have anything to be shy about. I love everything about you, I worship your body, it's mine to worship as mine is to you". Paige stood and gently undress herself while looking at Emily without blinking as Emily swallowed hard looking right back at her. she stretched out alongside her and carefully pulled her into her arms. Paige leaned over and began to kiss her wife. She kissed her longly and lingeringly, with all the aching tenderness in her heart.

Her soft lips parted with only the slightest urging from her probing tongue, and her arms went around her neck as she drew her tongue into her mouth, then gave Paige hers.

Paige teased her, tormented her, offered herself to her by thrusting deep with her tongue, then slowly retreating and thrusting again and again, until Emily was clinging to her, her mouth moving back and forth over her in passionate surrender to the widely erotic kiss..

"See how my body responds to your touch?" Paige asked. She felt it as a flame racing uncontrollably through her veins. "Oh Emily". she half laughed, half groaned.

"please feel pride in what you can do to me. It humbles me to know you can make my body respond to your slightest touch, even if I will against it. It humbles me more to tell you so myself. You can take pride in having such power over me Emily, that's what you do me, I feel so much joy I can trust you as my wife to tell you this. Do you understand what am saying to you my love?". Emily nodded. She understood Paige was telling her, her weaknesses. Entrusting her not to hurt her... again.

Paige drew a long, unsteady breath and reaching her arms around her neck, she pressed herself against her too and began to kiss her.

Trembling in her embrace, Emily kissed her forehead, eyes and mouth. reassuring her she is "home!". She slid her tongue over Paige's lips, feeling the warm smoothness of them, and Paige groaned, her mouth opening passionately over hers, when she shifted her onto her back and leaned over her, kissing her and caressing her with her gentle, skillful hands, Emily didn't know if what she was feeling was pride, but whatever it was, it was drugging and delirious and wonderful.
"I want you," Paige whispered against her parted lips."I want you so badly that I ache for you Emily". Emily's trembled hands lifted Paige's chin a little and cupped her face.

"I'll never hurt you again Paige . It humbles me you say all those things to me, please don't ever stop. I love you so much". She promised, her voice husky with tenderness and love.
Paige's respond made her throat ache. "I know you won't," she whispered. "You're it for me, I love you too, so much".
Emily couldn't help herself; she covered her mouth with Paige's and devoured her with tender violence. She fondled Paige's breast and teased her nipple with her fingers, as she kissed her, and she moaned softly when Paige's mouth began retracing the path her hands had taken.

Every slight movement of her awakening body twisting beneath Paige's gentle assault-every sound she made raced through her bloodstream like an aphrodisiac. She could not believe the passion she contained, nor the violence of her body's craving for Paige; she was ravenous for her.
Her hands were tangling in Paige's hair, running over her shoulders and back, her nails digging into her flesh. She parted her thighs, her fingers teasing and toying with her, exploring and delightfully tormenting her until she was soft and damp and more than ready for her. Emily opened for Paige, then gasped with exquisite pleasure as Paige plunged her two fingers into her welcoming softness.
Emily wrapped her arms around Paige, lost in incoherent yearnings to have her stay inside of her like this forever, to draw her somehow deeper, and then Paige began to move within her, Emily ceased to think at all. Something small unfolded in the pit of her stomach, then spread like a mellow glow, slowly building and gathering force, until it began to race in a trembling fury along her every nerve. Twisting her head fitfully on the pillows she began arching to meet her deep plunging thrusts. "Please," Emily begged her in a whisper, but she did not know what she was asking for.

Paige did, and she wanted it so badly for her that her own rampaging desire was secondary. "Soon babe" Paige promised and began to steadily thrust the rhythm of her driving strokes while sucking Emily's right nipple.

The volcano that had been threatening to erupt inside of Emily exploded with a force that tore a low scream from her throat. Instantly Paige throttled the scream with her mouth. When her tremors had subsided she took her sweet lips in a long kiss while she thrusts into her fast. Paige also exploded, she wasn't going to last long with all the emotions she is filled with.

They didn't say anything to each other, just smiles, Paige rolled onto her side, taking Emily with her.

Lying there, with Emily cradled in her arms, her body still intimately joined to hers, she experienced a joyous contentment, a languorous peace, unlike anything she had ever known.

Paige half expected Emily to fall asleep in her arms, but after several minutes, she tilted her head back and raised shining brown eyes to her. Paige brushed a wayward curl off her cheek. "Are you happy, love?"

She smiled at her; the sated, happy smile of a woman who knew. . . and who knows that she is beloved. "Yes," she whispered.
Paige kissed her forehead and Emily snuggled closer against her, while she tenderly caressed the lovely contours of her back and hip, waiting for her to fall asleep. Instead, she lapsed into silence, tracing small circles on her chest, but she did not seem any more inclined toward sleep than she.

"What are you thinking about?" She asked her finally.

Emily's gaze flew to hers, then she buried her face against Paige's chest. "Nothing, I just never thought I would ever feel this happy and content again". she said.

"God how I love you". Paige whispered hoarsely as her mouth captured hers.

When the kiss ended, Emily remained in her arms, and her long fingers lightly stroked the hair at her temple. softly.

"I think you ought to get some sleep my love," Paige suggested.

"I'm not in the least sleepy". her wife said.

"You're certain you don't want to sleep?". Paige asked absently, brushing her knuckles over her smooth cheek, marveling her beauty.

"Then what would you like to do?"

In answer, Emily looked at her and blushed, then she quickly hid her overheated face against Paige's shoulder.

A chuckle rumbled deep in Paige's chest as she shifted her full body atop her wife then wrapped her arms around her.

"I suppose, we could go some more rounds. Let's see how long you will last babe, before you finally fall asleep". Emily laughed huskily, she too knows she is in for the time of life...
