When I woke I was in my own bed, D was asleep beside me. He was on his stomach and his face was turned toward me. I smiled at him and reached to stroke my fingers down his cheek. His eyes struggled open and he gave me a sleepy smile. "You feeling better today little one?",he questioned groggily. I nodded and scooted closer to him. He rolled up on his side and pulled me against him. The morning was cool and the warmth from his body was so inviting. His mouth came down on mine softly and I felt his tongue probe at my lips. I opened up to him and felt his hand smooth down my side and onto my hip. He pulled me closer into him and I knew he wanted me this morning. I thought I would feel some kind of apprehension about being with D after what had happened just a couple nights ago. I was wrong though. My body responded to D's touch just like it always had. His hand traveled from my hip to the top of my panties. When his fingers slipped inside I broke from our kiss and threw my head back and let a moan escape my lips. I felt slightly sore from the harshness of the rape or whatever it was but D was careful with me and my body wanted him. He gently probed all while kissing my neck and tops of my breasts. He looked into my eyes and I reached to pull his mouth to mine. I grasped the hair at the nape of his neck and he ground his mouth on mine finally. Our tongues dueled together and soon he rolled so that his body half covered mine. His hand was working on removing my panties and I was struggling to remove his boxers.
D sat up and pulled my panties off and I removed my top as he removed his boxer briefs. When he came back onto the bed he kissed me gently. "Are you sure you want to do this?", he asked me as his green eyes darkened. I nodded and answered, "Just go slow, I'm a little sore." D nodded and held himself above me. He entered me slowly and I reached for him and encouraged him to continue. He moved slowly and ran his hand up my arm until our fingers were entwined together. He kissed my fingers as he gently made love to me. This made my heart soar. He then rolled so that I was on top and in charge. I sat back and laced the fingers of my other hand with his. I held onto his hands as I rode him. I increased my speed and D threw his head back on the pillow and moaned as I grew wetter and he grew hard. Soon we were crashing over the edge together and I fell forward onto D's chest. He wrapped his arms around me and we lay there catching our breath. After a bit I rose and kissed him. "I'm going to hop in the shower. I'm starving!" D laughed at me "Well you are eating for two and she is mine!" His boyish smile warmed my heart.
When I came out of the shower D was not still in my room. I made my way into the other room and smelled the most wonderful smells in the world. In the kitchen Sam and Nancy were at the stove cooking pancakes and sausage and bacon. Liz and Dean were putting together a fruit tray and D was pouring everyone orange juice. I loved having my house full of people that I had grown to love more than anything. I was surprised to see Sam and Dean back so soon and I wondered about Nancy being here so early but it made me happy nonetheless. Sam and Nancy were making eyes at each other and I saw him lean down to kiss her neck occasionally. Dean and Liz were feeding each other grapes and bananas. D looked up when I walked in and gave me his 1000 watt smile. "Hey baby we're getting your breakfast ready. Come on in and help me pass out the drinks." I walked over to him and took two of the glasses from his hands. He kissed me as I drew near and then patted my rear as I made my way to the table with the drinks. This right here was what family was all about! I said a silent prayer and something changed almost suddenly! I could feel a tremble move through my body and it stopped me in my tracks. I looked around to see if anyone saw me and fortunately no one did. I placed the glasses of orange juice on the table and went back to D for more. When Sam and Nancy came to the table Nancy had a plate overflowing with crisp, warm bacon and Sam carried two plates, one with the largest stack of pancakes I've ever seen and the other with a mound of sausage patties. Everyone sat and I looked around. "Can we say the blessing this morning please?", I said almost quietly. Everyone looked from one to the other and then nodded. I smiled a huge smile and said, "Let's hold hands." When everyone held hands I began my prayer. "Lord I come to you today with a grateful heart. Thank you so much for each of these people that you have placed in my life and thank you for this little bundle of joy that we'll be enjoying soon enough. Lord I know that I've had my share of trying times lately but though it all You have been there for me. I think I forgot that until just now. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reminding me! Please bless this food and the hands that prepared it and Lord bless each of my friends gathered here today. I love you. Amen."
When I finished my prayer everyone sat quietly for a while before Sam broke the silence. "That was pretty awesome, Nicole. Thank you." I leaned over and reached up to give him a peck on the cheek. "You're welcome Sam. And thank y'all for being here for me, for loving me and for being my friend. Now let's eat! This food smells wonderful!" I filled my plate and began to dig in. Our conversation stayed light and fun all through the meal but I knew the guys had lots to discuss after we were all finished. I could just sense it.
When the meal was finished and all the dishes and the kitchen was cleaned up the guys made their way to the porch to discuss the goings on at Camilla's. We women sat at the kitchen table and drank coffee and enjoyed a few minutes of girl talk.
