Rachel rolled over and settled so that she was resting on Finn's chest. He lifted a hand and stroked her hair back, smiling sleepily at her. It was late in the morning and neither of them had to go to work, so they were just lounging around in bed.
Finn reached up to kiss her, and Rachel pulled away. "Morning breath," she reminded him, but Finn just shook his head and grinned at her, his dimple appearing in his cheek.
"Don't care," he said in response. And he twisted his fingers in her hair and pulled her down to kiss him. His lips moved slowly over hers, and Rachel didn't think she had even been more thoroughly kissed in her entire life.
She rested against his chest once again, tilting her face to look up at him. The sun was peeking through the curtains, highlighting his jaw and slope of his nose, and she took a moment to marvel over how handsome he was. And it seemed as if Finn was thinking along the same lines as her.
"You're beautiful," Finn whispered. And she was. Her face was completely clean of makeup, and her hair was messy and tangled around her shoulders. She had the imprint of her pillow on her cheek and the sheet had fallen down around her waist. He thought that he had never seen her look more beautiful.
Rachel smiled and pressed up, leaning over to kiss Finn. The kiss started slow and languid, and then Finn was gently rolling Rachel underneath him. His lips never left hers as he ran a hand down her naked body, stroking teasingly. He moved slowly, as if he had all the time in the world.
Finn continued to kiss down her throat slowly, gently nipping and sucking. He kissed over to her shoulder, where he gently kissed the area he had marked the night before. Rachel could only clutch at the sheets underneath her as Finn's lips continued downward.
He kissed around the curve of her breast as he slowly massaged the other one. His tongue circled her nipple before his lips closed around it. Rachel moaned, locking her fingers in his hair and holding him to her chest. Eventually, he slowly kissed over to her other breast and gave that one the same treatment.
Finn kissed further down Rachel's stomach. His tongue dipped into her belly button, his hands holding on her hips as she writhed underneath him. He kissed down to her hip and gently bit down, sucking until he left a mark.
"Finn," Rachel gasped. "Please." He was teasing and moving so slowly, and Rachel felt like she was about to go up in flames. She felt Finn smirk against her hip before he slowly kissed back up her body, dragging his tongue between the valley of her breasts. He kissed her again, taking her hands and pressing them into the mattress above her head.
Rachel's legs parted and Finn settled between them. Looking into her eyes, Finn kissed her again before he murmured, "I love you, Rachel." Then he slipped into her and she cried out, clutching at his shoulders.
"Oh, God!" Rachel cried out. "I love you too." Her legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer and deeper. "So much."
Finn kissed her deeply, his hands tightening around hers. "Forever," he groaned, his thrusts becoming more erratic.
"Forever," Rachel agreed. She arched against him, her hips rocking to match his every movement. Rachel scratched down his back, her nails digging into his shoulders as she began to fall apart underneath him. She cried out again and then kissed him deeply as Finn followed her over the edge. He spilled hotly into her, closing his eyes and pressing his face into her shoulder.
Finn rolled over onto his back and Rachel went with him. He pressed several gentle kisses to shoulder, and Rachel smiled. "That was… amazing," she whispered. "I wish I could come up with a better word for it, but my brain isn't quite working at the moment."
Finn chuckled. "I think amazing sums it up okay." He watched as Rachel sat up and stretched, his eyes darkening as he looked at her naked form. She looked over her shoulder and smiled at him before she reached over the side of the bed and fished Finn's button-down shirt last night from their pile of clothes.
"Ready to get something to eat?" she asked.
"You know me so well," Finn said as he found his boxers and pulled them on. He drew Rachel against him and swept her hair aside to kiss the side of her neck. "Cake for breakfast?"
"Finn!" Rachel admonished. "Cake is not a suitable option for breakfast. And it's closer to lunch time, anyway."
"So cake for lunch, then."
Laughing, Rachel made her way out of her bedroom and into the kitchen. Finn followed her, humming a song from Journey. Rachel watched him with a smile as she reheated some stir fry leftovers.
"Smells good, baby," Finn said. "Not as good as the cake we had last night, but..."
Rachel laughed and playfully pushed at his shoulder. "Alright, I get it. We'll have cake after lunch."
Finn spun her around and brought his lips down over hers, kissing her gently. Rachel brought her hands up to lock in his hair, pulling him closer to her and deepening the kiss. She could feel Finn smiling against her lips before his hands wrapped around her waist and lifted her onto the counter.
His hands smoothed up her thighs and Rachel parted her legs, allowing him to step between them. Rachel kissed down to his jaw and pulled his earlobe between her teeth, tugging gently. Finn slipped his fingers between her legs and ran them up her slit.
Just as Rachel moaned, they heard a loud knocking on the front door. "Yo! Berry! Let us in! I forgot my key and Lady Hummel left his at Blaine's apartment!"
Rachel froze and stared at the door with wide eyes. Finn's mouth dropped open, and the only thing that either he or Rachel could was stare at the front door in complete horror as Santana continue to bang on it.
"Come on, Rachel!" Kurt called. "I'm hungry and I'm wearing the same clothes from the night before. That's a complete travesty!"
"Oh my God," Rachel finally managed. "Oh my God! What are we going to do?"
"Fire escape!" Finn suddenly blurted. Being as freaked out and caught off guard as they were, all Finn and Rachel could think about was not getting caught. "I can leave by the fire escape!"
"I'm wearing your shirt!" Rachel suddenly remembered. "I have to change!"
Finn helped Rachel off the counter, and they almost tripped over each other in their haste to get back to Rachel's room. Finn hastily pulled on his jeans and undershirt. Rachel tore off his shirt and tossed it to Finn before she pulled on a set of pajamas. She kissed Finn goodbye before he ran over to her window and climbed out the fire escape.
Rachel ran back towards the door and tried to make it look like she hadn't just made love and was still coming back to earth because of it. She took a deep breath before she opened the door, revealing her two very annoyed roommates.
"Thanks for taking forever, midget," Santana grumbled as she stalked past Rachel. "It's not like I'm getting any younger."
Kurt rolled his eyes. "She's mad because she didn't get any sleep last night."
Santana poked her head out of her bedroom and smirked. "Well, neither of you would have gotten any sleep last night if you had been doing what I had been doing."
"Not that it's any of your business, but Blaine and I had a wonderful time last night," Kurt said.
"Way to go, Lady Hummel." Santana threw a pillow from her room at Rachel. She dodged it with a scowl as Santana continued speaking. "Rachel, it looks like you're the only one not getting any ass. I was with my girl Brits and Kurt was with the Hobbit. Did you just come back here last night?"
Of course, Rachel wasn't about to share that she had been up well into the early morning hours, spending time with Finn. She was just glad that neither of them had suspected anything. Rachel just shrugged her shoulders as she leaned against the counter.
"I just had a quiet night," Rachel said pleasantly. But she had to bite back a smile, because her night had been far from quiet.
"Whatever, Berry," Santana said flippantly. "You need to get laid." Then she promptly disappeared into her bathroom and started to sing loudly in Spanish. Kurt and Rachel both smiled before he turned to her.
"Why did it take you so long to answer the door?" Kurt asked curiously.
Rachel shrugged her shoulders and turned to get the stir fry she had been reheating out of the microwave. She really wished that Finn could be there to share it with her, but he had to have been back at his apartment by now.
"I was still sleeping," Rachel said instead. "Sorry."
"No, it's okay. We just wanted to make sure that you were feeling okay. Puckerman said that you weren't feeling well last night, and that's why you had to leave early." Kurt squeezed Rachel's arm, and she felt bad for leaving and lying to him like that. But she didn't regret the wonderful night she had spent with Finn. She would never regret anything she did with him.
"Yes, I had a stomach ache last night, but I'm alright now," Rachel said as she squeezed Kurt's arm in return. "How was the rest of the party?"
Kurt shrugged his shoulders. "Honestly, you didn't miss much. Puckerman said that Finn got a call from work and had to go fill out a report or something. We didn't stay for much longer after that." He scowled and then said, "I didn't even get a chance to find a girl for Finn last night."
"I'm sure it was okay," Rachel said. She wasn't about to let on that she was secretly pleased about that fact. And she certainly wasn't going to let Kurt know that she had kept Finn distracted for the majority of the party. "It looked like Finn really enjoyed the party."
Kurt scowled. "It didn't seem that way when Gwen showed up. Now I know why you don't like her so much. She's quite annoying."
Rachel's brow furrowed into a dark glare. "Why does she have to try and stick her nose in everything?"
"I'm pretty sure that she was trying to get with Finn all night. And she is so not my first pick for him." He gave her a sly look that Rachel chose not to read into. After Finn and Quinn broke up three years ago, Kurt had pretty much stopped mentioning Rachel's crush on Finn. She wasn't about to give him a reason to bring it up again—especially since she was secretly dating Finn.
Rachel managed a tight smile and tried to change the subject from setting Finn up (Finn, for his part, had been ready to rip Kurt a new one when he found out about his brother's plan. Rachel had managed to talk him out of it). "Other than that, it seemed like he enjoyed the party."
"He did," Kurt said as he finally smiled. "And my streak of successful party planning continues. Well, I'm off to take a nap. Roommate dinner and movie later tonight?"
"Sounds good!"
Right before movie night started, Kurt decided that he was going to wash his sheets and asked Santana and Rachel if they wanted theirs washed, as well. Both said yes and set the movie up as they waited for Kurt to join them.
They heard a surprised shriek come from by the washer and dryer in the back of the apartment before Kurt stalked out, holding Rachel's light pink sheets up.
"Rachel Barbra Berry, what is this disgusting substance you have all over your sheets?" he demanded.
Rachel blanched as she realized there was chocolate icing smeared all over the bed sheet. After they had each had a slice of cake the night before, Finn had decided to have some R-rated fun with the cake in Rachel's bedroom. He had used the icing and painted it all over Rachel's body before licking it off (not to mention the turn she had with the icing on Finn, as well), and she felt her cheeks heat up at the memory.
Honestly, she couldn't believe that she hadn't noticed how it had gotten everywhere. "I just made some cake last night," Rachel said as she tried to figure out how she could work around this situation.
"And you got icing all over your bed sheets? How does that even happen?" Santana said with a laugh.
"I had a small piece earlier, and I was watching a movie in my room. I accidentally dropped it." Eventually, she was going to lose track of all these lies, and Rachel wasn't really looking forward to that moment. She was relieved that there was a little less than a month until the wedding.
Kurt shook his head. "I can't believe that you are such a messy eater, Miss Berry. Lucky for you, I have a fool proof way of getting stains such as these out. I can still save these sheets."
Rachel smiled at her friend. "Thank you, Kurt!"
It wasn't long before Kurt came back into the living room and Santana started the movie. When both of her roommates were completely distracted, Rachel took her phone out and texted Finn.
"Your little art project with the cake yesterday left some very noticeable evidence."
It wasn't long before she got a text message back. All it said was, "Oops."
Rachel could only smile and shake her head. She couldn't even be angry, because she loved all of it. And she loved him.
But that didn't mean that she couldn't make him squirm for a little bit.
Rachel jumped when she felt a pair of arms slide around her waist. As far as she knew, she was alone in her apartment. But she knew right away that it was Finn, and she bit her lip to hide her smile.
"Are you still mad at me?" he murmured as he dropped a kiss to the side of her neck.
Rachel just shrugged her shoulders as she continued folding her laundry. Finn trailed kisses up from her neck to her cheek and pulled her closer.
"Kurt and Santana didn't find out, did they?"
Rachel shook her head. "No, they didn't." She was glad that he couldn't see her face, because she was free to smile. If he turned her around, she was going to have to call on her acting skills. It appeared that she couldn't stay mad at Finn for very long.
"Did the stain come out of the sheets?"
"Not all the way."
"Aw, I'm sorry baby. Do you need me to buy you a new set of sheets?"
"That's okay, Finn."
"Well, how about we get ready to go to Ohio, then?"
That got Rachel's attention immediately and she turned around in Finn's arms, forgetting that she was pretending to be angry with him. "Really?" she squealed.
Finn chuckled and kissed her forehead. "If you can swing it, I was hoping that we could go this weekend." Pulling back, he looked into her eyes and took her hands. "I want to tell my mom about us."
"Really?" Rachel repeated, this time in a much softer voice.
Finn kissed her hands. "Really. What do you say?"
"I say that sounds amazing. Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. I love you, Rachel." Finn pulled her close and kissed her. When he pulled away, he smirked down at her. "You weren't actually mad at me, were you?"
"Hmmm. My sheets were very messy, Finn Hudson. I had to come up with a lie on the spot."
Finn gave her that charming half smile that he knew she couldn't resist. "Well, I'll just have to make it up to you, then."
Rachel allowed him to kiss her again. "I'm looking forward to it."
Author's Note: I couldn't resist a chapter of Finchel fluff. And so the next chapter will be the trip to Ohio. :) And two other people officially find out about their relationship, although I'm sure that you can all guess who it is. Thanks for reading!
