Chapter 83

AJ groaned. She was so beautiful standing there. Even the bandage she had just replaced because of her bath did not detract from her loveliness.

"AJ, please…I know that we're not supposed to 'have sex' for six weeks after Angel was born, but there are other ways we can pleasure each other. Even though I don't have any memories of our sex life, I'm sure that six weeks is too long for you to go without fulfillment. Please let me do that for you, at least…" she pleaded.

"Oh, Sarah!" He was so very torn at that moment, his honor waged war with his desire. 'She's said that she loves me…but what if it's just because she believes in the marriage and thinks that she should? But she said that she had loved me for years! How could that not be if she has only lost a year of memory? Still, it's wrong to make love to her when she doesn't know that the marriage was only a cover. Not that it is now, but still…' Honor was just about to win, he was going to turn and leave the room, when she approached him.

Placing a hand over his heart, she could feel it racing. The other hand slid around his neck and pulled him down into a kiss. His honor lost and desire did a victory dance in his heart.

Knowing that she was about to get her way, Sarah smiled. She might not remember how it was to make love to this man, but she did remember how to make love to a man. It was exciting to think that she would be able to learn all over again what little things pleased AJ and what things drove him wild. She was sure that he wouldn't tell her because of doctor's orders, so she was determined to make him pay for that, too!

Mac stepped even closer to him, pressing her body to his. He groaned at the contact. He could feel her breasts pressing against his chest even through his clothes. He could feel that her nipples had hardened in arousal, much like another area on his body had.

Surprised at the feeling running through her body, Sarah needed more, she had no idea that just kissing this man, her husband, could be so arousing. Rubbing her body along his as the friction caused her nipples to become extra sensitive, she longed for AJ to place his hands on them.

"Darling, there hasn't been a moment in the last eight years that I've known you that I didn't want to make love to you, but I can't wait till the doctor says we can, to feel your touch on my body."

He brought her face up to his again and kissed her tenderly. His hands were on her back, caressing her shoulders, but he brought them forward and cupped the sides of her breasts, waiting to see if she would stop him.

"Oh, AJ…" holding her breath, she waited to see if he would touch her breasts, caress her swollen nipples. "I want to touch you, too."

AJ wanted that more than he could tell her. He knew that she thought they had made love many times before, but this was the first. The first time he had her in his arms this way, naked and wanting him…well, other than in his dreams… "Yes, I want that, too," he said and moved his hands to hold her breasts completely. Taking her nipples in his fingers, he lightly pinched them until they became even harder than they had been.

Moaning and arching her breasts fully into his hands, she reached for his shirt and started unbuttoning it. She made it halfway down before she ripped away the buttons and started running her hands over his chest.

"Sarah, ah, your hands feel so good on me..."

For just a moment, she wondered why he sounded surprised at that fact, almost like it had never happened before…
