Author's note: Oh things are heating up between Clara and the Doctor so I have increased the rating again. Enjoy the preamble to their first time together.
Clara awoke in the master bedroom of the cottage that she and the Doctor occupied for the past week. Looking out the window she watched as the rays of the rising sun cast away the shadows of the night.
She didn't need to look beside her to know the Doctor wasn't there, and she was okay with it now. The first day she awoke without him next to her did miff her but soon she got over it. Smiling she remembered the conversation.
"Doctor." Clara called out as she exited the bedroom.
"In the kitchen." She heard him call out his response.
Entering she sat at the small table and played with the flowers found in the vase. Every day he replaced them with fresh ones gardens before she awoke to start her day.
As he placed a cup of coffee next to her he stopped and tilted his head, "Why are you so quiet, you are never this quiet in the morning. Didn't you sleep well?"
"I slept fine Doctor." She huffed in irritation, "This morning wasn't very pleasant one."
Arching his eyebrows he retrieved his own coffee, "Really, I thought it was. I like mornings they are the best time of the day. The sun rising, the smell of coffee, the coolness of the air."
"Yeah those things are good but they would be better if I woke up next to you, instead of an empty space."She commented while taking a drink of her coffee.
"You know Clara, I don't need much sleep as you and no matter how wonderful it is to be next to you, I start to get restless."
"Yeah I know." She sighed as she watched him add more sugar to his coffee, "But it is hard to get used to."
"Well if it makes you feel better the joy of smelling freshly brewed coffee as you wake up wouldn't happen if I stayed in bed, now would it." He commented with a smug smile causing her to giggle.
"I guess you are right." Reaching for his hand she caressed it and smiled, "And I wouldn't want you to be any other way."
Even though he wasn't there in the morning, every evening he would lay with her, holding her in his arms causing feelings safety and love to emerge within her until she succumbed to the oblivion of sleep.
Clara stretched as she got out of bed, taking a deep breath she smiled as the smell of coffee brewing entered her nose. Reaching into the armoire she pulled out a light blue dress and placed it on the bed. They have made a lot of progress establishing and controlling the mental link between them over the past week. It wasn't easy to do, she thought she was doing well… until last night.
"Clara." The Doctor exclaimed as he broke the connection between them, "You really need to focus if this is going to work."
"I know sorry, I'm a bit distracted right now." She replied sheepishly.
"Distractions can be mortally fatal if we are in a dire situation, until you learn how to forge the connection without thinking it is important for you to focus."
"Maybe I am a just tired we have been at this for almost two hours this evening." She justified knowing that wasn't the only reason she was distracted.
"Seriously, has it been that long?"He said as he stood and looked out the bay window of the cottage seeing the sun disappear beneath the horizon, "I guess it has been that long. Why don't we go to bed and try again tomorrow."
Moving to his side wrapping her arm around him she watched the stars emerge in the night sky. Sighing she replied, "I think that would be a great idea."
Clara knew the real reason for her distraction yesterday was not exhaustion, it was him. Since they have been fortifying their link she has become more aware of him; his position to her as they sat next to each other, the smell of him that lingered in the rooms they occupied, the tingling sensations on her skin with every simple touch. Her hypersensitivity to him also increased her desire to become more intimate with him.
Yesterday as they connected, her mind kept drifting to the bedroom and the many ways she wanted him to love her, take her, claim her and frankly most of them were so erotic she became embarrassed and hurriedly blocked her thoughts from him; effectively inhibiting the connection of their minds.
Pulling the dress over her head she adjusted it so it lay properly on her body. She was ready to take the next step in their relationship, actually more than ready. Brushing her hair she decided, today when they joined minds she was not going to hide anything from him. She was going to let her thoughts flow freely, the alternative was exhausting.
Expecting him to be in the kitchen she was surprised not to find him there, pausing briefly to get a cup of coffee she exited the house to look for him. She found him sitting on a sand dune his legs crossed, his eyes closed as if he were meditating.
She approached quietly and sat next to him sipping her coffee, waiting for him to finish, losing herself in the beauty around them.
His voice startled her as he asked, "Why did you block me last night?"
"How did you know?" she questioned facing him meeting his blue eyes.
"I'm a Time Lord Clara and I know when there are walls keeping me out of a person's mind." He huffed in exasperation, standing from the sand dune he started walking toward the water's edge, "I just don't know why you did."
Following him she weaved her arm through his as she caught up to him, "Because I wasn't ready for you to see those thoughts yet."
Glancing down at her he replied, "I would never judge you for any of your thoughts Clara, and I would never presume you will show me all of them, but last night your block debilitated our connection completely."
"Yes, I know…it's just." She paused as she looked for the right word in her vocabulary to describe her feelings, "Let's just say my thoughts last night would have been very distracting for both of us."
Turning to face her he asked as he cupped her face with his hand, "How so?"
She felt her face turn pink with embarrassment as she stared at the sand beneath her feet, "They were….quite erotic."
His laughter ringing in the wind was the last thing she expected soon her embarrassment turned into indignation, "It is not funny Doctor!" she stated as she started to walk away.
He stopped her movements pulling her close to his body stifling a chuckle he commented, "I am sorry Clara, I sometimes forget how sexually inhibited humans are in the 21st century."
"Not helping Doctor." She countered.
"I know, but I never thought you would fall into the same category as your fellow humans. You exude sexuality, passion and confidence." He stated huskily as he traced her lips with his long fingers, "Every day I am around you I desire you more and more." Bringing his lips to her neck he kissed and nibbled the soft skin causing her to moan.
Whispering in his ear she stated, "I've never been with anyone."
Shocked he pulled away and stared into her eyes, "No that can't be true."
Nodding she replied, "Yes it is."
"What about Danny?" he asked still not believing what he was told.
Her eyes glazed over with sadness, "We never got the chance. We wanted to but he was gone before it happened."
"But you said we should go slow and steady because you didn't want things to go bad as they did before." He said recalling the evening after they visited her mother's grave.
"I lied; I didn't want you to think I didn't know what I was doing. In actuality I was nervous about becoming intimate with you. I was afraid you wouldn't want me because of my lack of lovers. I mean you have had four wives and just as many lovers how can I measure up to so much experience." She explained hoping she didn't mess up her explanation.
"Yes, I have had many relationships but never in this body with this persona." He replied kissing her lips.
Grabbing her hand he guided her down to sit in the soft sand, bringing his hands to her temple he requested, "So because this is new to both of us let us learn together. Show me how you want me to make love to you, my Clara."
Closing her eyes she relinquished control of her mind connecting with his without boundaries or inhibitions. She let the fantasies she hide from him last night to come forth; all the positions she wanted to try, where she wanted his fingers to caress her skin, the kisses she wanted to experience with him, the need to have him inside of her moving steadily but firmly. She shared all the places she wanted to him to make love to her, how she wanted to be in control of their love making and in turn how she wanted him to be in control. She held nothing back from his mind allowing him to see her passion for him, her lust and most of all her love.
In return he shared with her how he craved for her lips to touch every part of his body, the need for their love making to be fast and furious as well as slow and sensuous. How he wanted to savory the taste of her as he licked the apex of her sexuality causing her to writhe beneath his lips. How he would enter her slowly, knowing he would be the first one to explore her hidden treasures, and the joy of being engulfed by her completely. He shared how he would touch her bringing her to the apex of release only to hold her back till they could fall together in shared ecstasy. Intermingled in his thoughts he showed her his love for her, his need for her and how she completed him.
It was too much for Clara to comprehend; pulling back from their link she opened her eyes only to see his dilated with passion, her lips millimeters from his, their breath intermingling in the small space between them neither of them moving as their hearts pounded with desire in perfect synchronization.
In her mind she heard his accented voice thick with need, 'It is time." Nodding her head her voice echoed in his mind, "Yes it is."
