A/N - Here is the chapter we have been waiting for. The end of the conspiracy. Warning, it is probably a hard T. The original version I wrote I'm sure crossed into the M territory, so I toned it down a lot for what you see here. If enough of you wonderful readers want to see the original version, I may post it as a separate story. Also, due to work demands, I won't be able to post updates as frequently as I have been but I'll try for once per week.

Chapter 7

Sarah gathered her purchases and headed outside. "Thank you for shopping with me, Ellie. It was fun."

"Not as much fun as you and Chuck are going to have tonight, Sarah," Ellie smirked.

Sarah turned pink. "I'm going to head over to the Grand Ambassador and talk to my parents for a little while and get ready. What time are you planning on getting to the game?"

"It starts at 5pm. We're going to get there about 4:30."

Sarah's phone buzzed and she looked at the screen. It was a text from Chuck and Sarah instinctively smiled.

"Was that from Chuck?"

"Yeah. He wants to meet me outside the locker room at 4:00 to say hi before the game. He says he misses me and it's been too long since he's seen me."

"Yeah," Ellie deadpanned. "It's been about four hours. Sounds like an eternity."

Sarah looked off into space and sighed. "It sure feels like an eternity."

"You two sure have it bad for each other. OK, then. We'll meet you at the arena at the seats. You have your ticket, right?"

"Yes, Ellie. I'll see you there." Sarah hailed a taxi and headed off to see her parents.

Ellie thought a moment. Sarah has this beautiful new dress for dinner. I'm sure Chuck needs something to wear, too.

Ellie picked up her phone and called her dad.

"Hi, Ellie. Did you have a nice shopping trip with Sarah?"

"It was a lot of fun, dad. Sarah got some very nice things. I was thinking that Chuck is going to need something to wear."

"Already taken care of Ellie. After what Graham did he felt really guilty and sprung for a new designer suit, shirt, tie, shoes, coat and everything else for Chuck and had everything delivered to his locker at the arena. He's going to pay for all of Sarah's purchases as well. He even offered to have Chuck talk to Roan Montgomery."

"Who's that, dad?"

"He's a real old school spy, a James Bond type. He teaches seduction school at the Farm."

Ellie laughed. "Somehow I don't think Chuck needs to seduce Sarah. You should have seen what she bought. She's going to be seducing him."

"TMI, Ellie. I declined the offer on Chuck's behalf. I've seen the way they look at each other. There won't be any seducing going on, just a lot of loving. One suggestion though, you may want to make sure there is a box of condoms at the penthouse by the bed."

Ellie laughed. "Great idea, dad. I'm heading back now. We should leave for the game in about two hours."

"Good idea. See you shortly."

Sarah arrived at her parent's room and knocked on the door. Emma opened it and let her in with all her purchases.

"Did you buy out the entire store, Sarah?"

"No mom. I bought a dress for dinner with Chuck tonight and something for after."

"After?"

Sarah just gave her mother a 'you've got to be kidding me' look.

"Oh. Can I see?"

Sarah turned a little pink.

"Just the dress, Sarah. I don't need to see what you are going to wear to seduce my future son-in-law."

"Not you too."

"What do you mean, Sarah?"

"The Bartowskis have told me they think it will be great to have another doctor in the family and that they think I'll make a great daughter-in-law."

"All of them?"

"Even Ellie."

Just then Jack walked into the room. "Stephen told me that I shouldn't be surprised when Chuck comes and asks me for permission to marry you. For the record, your mother and I would be very happy to have Chuck as our son-in-law."

"He's right, Sarah," Emma added.

"That's nice to know, mom and dad. But the only person that really has a say in that is Chuck."

"Trust me, Sarah. Chuck will ask you. My guess is before the year is out. I know you haven't known each other very long, but you'd have to be blind not to see how he feels about you."

Emma added, "Your dad is right. What you have to do is figure out if you want to spend the rest of your life with Chuck. That is something only you can answer and the good thing is you don't have to know that answer right now."

Sarah looked thoughtfully for a moment and said "You're right mom. I'm the only one who can answer that question. And what excites and scares me at the same time is that I already know the answer."

Jack and Emma both smiled at their daughter and said in unison "I knew it."

Sarah smiled back at them and said "If Chuck Bartowski asks me to marry him, my answer will be yes."

Jack and Emma hugged their daughter and Jack said "Trust me, Sarah. The question is not if. The question is when."

Emma looked up at her daughter and said "The only potential problem I see is two sets of meddling parents. We, and the Bartowskis, need to leave you two alone and allow you to build your relationship on your terms. We aren't trying to push you and Chuck, Sarah. We just want you to be happy and we have never seen you happier than you are right now and we know Chuck is a large part of that happiness."

Sarah smiled and got that far away look in her eyes as she thought of Chuck. "No, mom. Chuck IS the reason for my happiness."

Jack laughed and said, "Well Emma, we better start saving for wedding."

Chuck was dressed in his uniform and was counting down the seconds before he would see Sarah. His teammates were teasing him in a friendly manner about Sarah but were all supportive of him. The squad as full of NHL players and they enjoyed Chuck's youthful enthusiasm for the game and his work ethic on the ice. No one on the team skated harder or checked harder or worked harder on the ice than Chuck. It was rubbing off on the other players and Casey saw it. That's why he was willing to overlook any distraction Sarah may be for Chuck as he seemed to work even harder, if that was possible, when she was around. It was nearly 4pm when Casey walked back in the locker room. Casey yelled, "Bartowski!"

"What is it Casey?"

"You better hurry up and get outside. You're girl is here and every male over the age of ten is drooling over her."

Chuck jumped up and almost tripped over one of his sticks as he headed outside the locker room. "Careful, Bartowski, the captain said. You don't want to fall and cut your lip before you get outside."

That got a laugh from everyone and Chuck just shrugged.

"A few cat calls of 'go get 'er Chuck, and don't forget the Altoids, and don't do anything I wouldn't do' were shouted as Chuck made it to the door.

When Chuck stepped outside, he saw Sarah standing there next to a security guard who was helping keep a throng of fans a safe distance from her. She had her back to him as she was signing autographs. Her blonde hair fell loosely down her shoulders onto the designer wool coat she was wearing that stopped just at her knees. She was wearing a pair of gold and black stilettos that had four inch heels. The look from behind showed off her gorgeous long legs and Chuck gulped, unable to speak. Finally, he stepped closer to where she was and croaked out "Sarah."

Sarah stopped what she was doing and pocketed the pen she had taken out of her purse for that purpose. She turned around and saw Chuck. She absolutely took his breath away. Sarah had unbuttoned her coat to avoid getting too warm and it opened up enough for Chuck to see the front of the dress she was wearing. Sarah had borrowed a pair of her mom's gold loop earrings and was wearing a gold necklace. Chuck's mind did a complete meltdown and he couldn't either move or speak and just stood there like a tree. Sarah did a mental cartwheel as she thoroughly enjoyed Chuck's reaction. She thought he looked mighty fine in his hockey uniform and was most impressive standing there on his skates.

Knowing she would have to snap him out of his trance, Sarah sauntered up to Chuck and reached up and grabbed both sides of his face and pulled him down towards her and she planted a mind-blowing kiss hard on his lips. Chuck finally came back to reality and kissed her back just as hard. After the need for air caused the two to break apart for a moment, Chuck picked her up and spun her around twice and set her back on her feet.

"Wow, I mean, wow, uh uh uh, you look incredible, Sarah. I think it's illegal to look that beautiful at a hockey game."

Sarah smirked and raised an eyebrow. "I had a dilemma. You see my incredibly handsome boyfriend is going to take me out to a fancy dinner after the game and I wouldn't have time to change. So, I thought he would appreciate it if I dressed more appropriately for the dinner."

"Who is this incredibly lucky guy. Do I know him?"

"You might. You see he's pretty tall, but right now he's very tall since he's wearing skates 'cause he's going to play in the game very soon."

"All the players on the team wear skates, Sarah. You need to be a little more descriptive."

Sarah chuckled, put her hands in his and stared up into his loving brown eyes. "I know you're teasing Chuck Bartowski, but I hope one of these days, very soon, that you will realize that you are the love of my life, too. I saw the interview you did when I was buying this dress. I can't tell you how happy you made me when I heard what you said. I am proud to be your girlfriend and I'm glad the whole world knows it."

Chuck just beamed at what Sarah said and picked her up and spun her around some more and leaned down and kissed her with all the love he had in him and she kissed him back the same. After a long minute, he set her back on the ground and put his arms around her and pulled her close. They held each other like that until Casey stuck his head out the door and said "Times up, Bartowski. We've got a game to play. You can spend all the time you want on your lady feelings after the game."

Sarah raised an eyebrow. "Lady feelings?"

"He used to be in the army. Anything related to the fair sex are lady feelings to him."

"Well, Chuck," as she lowered her voice in her most sultry manner, "I'm looking forward getting to know your 'lady feelings' but I'm really looking forward to having my lady parts getting together with your man parts."

Chuck gulped, loudly and Sarah just smirked at him. "Go have a great game, Chuck. Concentrate on the game now because I'm going to demand your full attention later."

Chuck chuckle and looked down at her and smiled. "Concentrating on you will be the easiest thing I've ever done in my life. I love you Sarah."

"I love you too Chuck." Go help your team win the game."

"I'll do my best."

"I know you will."

Sarah and Chuck were oblivious to all the flash bulbs and camera clicks that were going off when they were together. Sarah watched Chuck head back into the locker room and turned to go to her seat. She stopped and signed a few more autographs and walked with the security guard to her seat. Chuck's family was already there and she took her seat.

Devon looked at her and said "A little overdressed for a hockey game, aren't we Sarah?"

Ellie punched him on the shoulder and said "Leave her alone Devon. You know what's happening tonight and why she's so dressed up."

Devon smirked "I know exactly what's going down. Or should I say where Chuck's going down."

"Ewwwww. Devon. Mind your manners. Sarah, I want to apologize for my finace. He's being rude."

Sarah laughed. "That's OK Ellie. I think you need to put on that little black number and see if you can get Devon's mind on you instead of me."

Devon turned red. "I'm sorry, Sarah. I'm just so happy for the Chuckster that you're in his life. That's no excuse for me to treat you like that."

"No worries, Devon. No harm done."

Ellie spoke up. "You better be careful around her, Devon. She can dish it out as well as take it."

"I can see that."

Mary looked over and said "I love the dress, Sarah."

"So do I, said Stephen."

"Thanks," said Sarah. Although I already got the reaction I had hoped for outside the locker room.

A few minutes later, the teams came onto the ice and skated by in the warm ups. As before, when Chuck skated by Sarah stood up and waved and blew him a kiss. Chuck smiled and waved back and almost ran into the boards. His teammates ribbed him all the more after that but as before, they all became completely focused when the puck dropped.

It was a very tight checking game and there were no goals scored in the first period. Casey growled at his top line and was really angry at their lack of effort. Back in the dressing room between the first and second periods he blasted them and asked "Why can't you give 110% effort on every shift like Bartowski? If you don't improve your effort I'm going to shake up the lines."

Team USA was still sluggish in the second period. Casey switched centers between the first and second lines but that didn't help. Fortunately their goalie was 'standing on his head' and keeping the Swiss from scoring. Chuck was working hard every shift he was out there but wasn't getting much ice time as Casey sent out his scorers in search of a breakthrough goal.

In the locker room between the second and third period Casey had finally seen enough and said "This is the Olympics men and if you can't get up for this you shouldn't be playing. Smith, I'm sending you to the fourth line until I see some effort. Bartowski, you're moving up to the top line."

When the opening faceoff of the third period took place, Sarah was happily surprised that her man was taking it. Chuck won the draw and the puck went to the left winger Brown and he carried it into the zone. Chuck set up at the top of the slot and Brown passed the puck to Chuck who one-timed a blast at goal. The puck flew true toward the net but it clanged off the goal post and bounced away. Instead of hanging his head and skating back on defense, Chuck charged toward the net and picked up the rebound. He skated behind the net and stopped a la Wayne Gretzky. Right winger Perry worked himself free from the defense and Chuck, fighting off the defenseman trying to bring him down, fed a perfect pass to Perry who fired a wrist shot past the Swiss goalie on the glove side. The red light went on and the USA bench jumped up in relief and the crowd cheered wildly, especially a certain blonde named Sarah Walker. When Chuck made his way back to the bench he received high fives from everyone and looked a few rows back and saw Sarah hugging his family in joy

.

Chuck's hard work ignited a spark in Team USA and they went on to win 3 – 0, with Chuck getting another assist. Chuck's play was starting to earn him notice in the press and with the NHL scouts in the arena. The Duck scout that gave him the tryout met Chuck in the locker room and said "Thanks for making me look good."

Chuck laughed and said, "Thanks for the opportunity. It's a dream come true."

"If you keep playing like this, I know that the Ducks would want to sign you, although you would probably need to start at our AHL affiliate. Playing in the NHL is a grind and you'll need some conditioning."

"That sounds great, sir. I'll keep doing my best and work hard and see what happens."

Chuck went to take a shower and came back to his locker. He found a note that said "Here is a new suit and everything else you need for your date with Sarah, courtesy of the CIA. We have also picked up the tab for Sarah's shopping spree from today and have made reservations for you two at Flemings. Order whatever you want and enjoy. Everything is on us and also enjoy your stay in the penthouse. It's safe. The note was signed LG.

Chuck took out the suit and got dressed. He had new everything. Socks, underwear, shoes, tie suit and overcoat. Inside the jacket pocket was his wallet with $1,000 in cash and the key card to the penthouse and directions to get there. There also was a small toiletries kit that had his and her tooth brushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, shaving cream, razor deodorant and aftershave. Behind everything else, was a large box of condoms. They have thought of everything. Chuck got dressed and headed out to meet Sarah and their families.

Sarah greeted Chuck with a gigantic kiss and he received congratulations from his and Sarah's families. Chuck also told them about what the scout said and they were equally excited. Chuck said to Sarah, we have reservations at Flemings at 8:00. We better get going. They said their goodbyes and took their small overnight bags with them to go to the taxi. When they got outside, there was a very pleasant surprise waiting for them. Instead of a taxi, there was a stretch limousine waiting for them. The driver said, "I am Pierre, your driver for the evening. I will take you wherever you want to go, but I know you have dinner reservations at 8:00. Please feel free to leave your bags in the car while you are dining. And help yourself to anything you want from the bar. And yes, this is a CIA vehicle and I work for the company. You are safe with me." He showed them his badge.

Chuck helped Sarah into the car and he followed right behind her. Chuck took off his overcoat and helped Sarah's with hers. When her coat was off, he couldn't believe how beautiful that dress was and how good she made it look. Sitting down in the seat, the dress slid much higher than mid-thigh on her shapely legs and he couldn't take his eyes away. Sarah was smiling inwardly at herself for her choices. She decided to wear sheer black hose and lacy black panties and a black garter belt to hold up the hose. When she scooted close to Chuck, her dress slid even higher so that it went above the tops of her stockings, showing bared thigh. Chuck just gulped and couldn't form a coherent thought. Sarah decided to show a little mercy on him and put her hand behind his neck and pulled him in for a passionate kiss, which he eagerly returned. Chuck, finally coming to his senses, put his right hand on Sarah's left knee and slowly slid it higher. Sarah deepened the kiss urging Chuck's hand higher and higher in her mind. Chuck obliged and soon his hand had reached the bare skin of her thigh. He couldn't believe how soft and smooth her skin felt and he started his had again on its upward journey. Sarah was breathing faster and faster as she wanted Chuck's hand higher and higher.

Unfortunately, the driver's voice could be heard over the speaker. Ms. Walker and Mr. Bartowski, we have arrived at your destination. Are you ready to go in?"

"Give us a minute Pierre."

Chuck asked, "Do you want to continue Ms. Walker?"

Sarah said, "Of course I do Mr. Bartowski, but I think we better go inside the restaurant."

After their coats were in place, Pierre opened the door and Chuck and Sarah stepped outside. It was quite cold. Thankfully they were close to the front door and they hurried inside. Once inside, the hostess took their coats and showed them to their table. They were given a very private booth in the back of the restaurant away from prying eyes and no one was in a table nearby.

The waiter came up to them and asked "Is this table satisfactory?

Chuck looked at Sarah and she nodded. Chuck answered and said. "Yes it is. Very nice. We would like a bottle of Cristal Champagne please and two bottles of Perrier."

"Very good Sir.

The table was covered with a white table cloth that hung well over the side that was noticed by our loving couple. Sarah leaned in and whispered into Chuck's ear, blowing gently on it. "Very private table Mr. Bartowski. Are you planning on taking advantage of me in this restaurant?"

"My plans toward you Ms. Walker are nothing but honorable."

Sarah smirked. "How disappointing."

Chuck had his arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear. "But, after a little champagne, my plans may change."

Sarah gave him a sultry look. "That's more like it."

The waiter arrived back at their table with the champagne and waters. He poured the waters into glasses and Chuck took a sip. "I'm still really thirsty after the game."

Sarah said coyly, "Well, the last thing we would want to happen tonight would be for you to get dehydrated. I don't want your bodily fluids running low."

Chuck turned bright red and started to choke on his water. Sarah patted Chuck on the knee and said in her best southern accent "Y'all OK, Chuck, honey? I didn't mean for y'all to get all choked up now."

Chuck burst out laughing and said softly to her "You're an evil woman, Sarah."

"Just one of the reasons you love me so much."

"That I do Sarah. That I do."

They leaned in together and enjoyed a sweet kiss. By now the champagne had been poured and Chuck and Sarah raised their glasses in a toast.

"To us and to a wonderful evening."

A few minutes later, the waiter returned and took their orders. They each ordered Filet Mignon, baked potato, vegetables and salad. Chuck also ordered some appetizers and another bottle of water.

They chatted amiably while they waited for their food and Sarah stopped and looked pensive for a moment. Chuck noticed and asked, "Is there something wrong, Sarah?"

"No, no, Chuck. I'm just thinking."

"What about, Sarah? You know you can tell me anything. Are you having second thoughts?"

Sarah looked alarmed for a moment and quickly gave him a kiss on the lips to end that line of thinking. "No way am I having second thoughts. I can hardly wait to be with you. I was just thinking about the future. What's going to happen to us after the Olympics?"

Chuck smiled at her and quickly planted a juicy kiss on her lips. "I don't know what is going to happen in the future Sarah, but there is one thing that I am certain of. I am certain beyond the shadow of doubt that I want you in my life. I want there to be 'us' and I want you by my side, always."

After listening to what Chuck said, Sarah did her best to climb on his lap, put her hands behind his head and pull him in for a toe curling passionate kiss. After a very long minute, maybe two, they separated slightly, out of breath. They stayed that way with their foreheads touching until Sarah managed to speak softly. "I want that too, Chuck. No matter what happens in my life, I want you. I want us. I want to be by your side, always." With tears in their eyes, their lips crashed together in another very hot and very passionate embrace. After they needed a break for air, they pulled apart and long enough to realize where they were and Sarah reluctantly slid off Chuck's lap and sat next to him while maintaining as much body contact as possible.

Their food was ready and the waiters, who watching what was going on at table 19 from a discrete distance, debated among themselves whether they should disturb the young lovers by bringing them their food. Noticing that the blonde had slid off her man's lap, they deemed it safe to approach the table.

The waiter, a silver haired man, wheeled the cart full of food to their table.

"Pardon me, sorry to disturb you, but your food is ready," the waiter said in a slightly French accent.

He placed the plates in front of Chuck and Sarah and held out some sharp knives. Sarah reached out to take them.

"Wait, said the waiter. "Don't you wish for me to carve?"

Sarah took the knives from the waiter and said "I'm pretty good with knives."

The waiter then said "Will there be anything else?"

Chuck responded with a smile and said "I think we have everything we need."

The waiter nodded and smiled and said "Very good, sir," and he wheeled the cart away.

Chuck and Sarah were famished and thoroughly enjoyed their food. They made small talk and plans for what to do and what events to see for the remainder of the Olympics with, of course, working around Chuck's games and practices. When they were finished eating, the waiter asked if they wanted anything for dessert. Sarah said she was full, and so was Chuck, but he thought it would be a good thing to take something to go for later. So, Chuck ordered two slices of cheesecake, a side of strawberries, a side of blueberries and a large container of whipped cream. Sarah raised an eyebrow at him and wondered what he was planning on doing with all that whipped cream. Chuck just winked at her and gave her a 'you will find out soon enough' look. Chuck ordered an espresso for each of them to drink while they waited for their desserts to be ready.

When finished at the restaurant, they thanked the waiters and cooks for a fabulous meal. Even though everything was paid for, including the tip, Chuck reached into his wallet and pulled out two crisp $100 bills and placed them on the table. He helped Sarah on with her coat and put on his and offered her his arm which she gladly took. The two lovers walked outside with their dessert for later to the waiting limo and Pierre opened the rear door for them. "I trust your dinner was satisfactory?"

Sarah answered, "It was wonderful. Thank you."

Pierre nodded and asked, "Where would you like to go now. I am authorized to take you just about anywhere you would like to go. Also, there has been a slight change of plan. I hope you won't mind. It is my understanding that Director Graham has been convinced that it would be best for your security that I provide your transportation for the rest of the Olympic games and you two will be given complete access to this car for that time. Not only that, we have secured a penthouse for your use in the same building as where you were going to go. It is just larger and has a better view. You will also have the complete use of this penthouse for the remainder of the Olympics."

Chuck and Sarah just stood there in shock. Pierre held out two key cards. Chuck took them and said thank you. "These cards will give you access to the building entrance, the penthouse and the gymnasium. It has a sauna, swimming pool and steam room."

Chuck and Sarah nodded and Chuck said, "Please take us to the penthouse."

"Very good sir."

Sarah snuggled up to Chuck for the ride to the penthouse. "How did this happen, Chuck?"

"I have a feeling my father had something to do with this. He was really mad at the Director for what he did to you, to us."

"We'll have to ask him and say thanks."

Chuck nodded and held Sarah close. They looked into each other's eyes with love and adoration. Knowing that they were committed to each other and they had a future after the games caused them to relax and enjoy the ride, eagerly waiting for their first time.

When they arrived at their building, Chuck noticed that their bags were not in the car with them. "Where are our bags, Pierre?

Pierre said, "I hope you don't mind, but I brought them to your room while you were dining. I also had all of your clothes and equipment delivered from your rooms at the Olympic village."

"You have thought of everything, Pierre," said Sarah. "Thank you."

Pierre nodded and showed them to the entrance. He told Chuck and Sarah how to contact him when they wanted his services.

Chuck and Sarah rode the elevator to the twenty-ninth floor, the top floor. Their arms were wrapped around each other and they kissed almost the entire way. When the bell dinged indicating that they had arrived at their floor, they parted just long enough to exit the elevator and see which way to go. Once they spotted the direction to suite 2919, they headed off in that direction with their sides pressed together. Once at the door, Chuck opened it and picked up Sarah to carry her inside. Sarah wrapped her arms around his neck and cocked her head "Carrying me across the threshold, Mr. Bartowski? I thought that was for married couples."

Once inside, Chuck kicked the door closed and smiled at her, still carrying her. "It is, Ms. Walker. You know what they say, practice makes perfect."

Sarah raised an eyebrow "You're practicing carrying me across the threshold as if we're a married couple?"

Chuck grinned. "I am. I don't want to drop you when I do it for real."

Sarah's heart nearly stopped. "That almost sounds like a proposal, Mr. Bartowski."

"One day soon, I hope, it will be. You are the woman I have been waiting for my entire life. I love you and want to be with you forever."

Sarah's smile lit up the room. "When that happens, Chuck, and I hope it happens sooner than later, my answer will be yes."

Chuck smiled so widely it hurt. Their lips crashed together in another incredibly passionate embrace and Chuck set Sarah down on her feet. They turned on the lights and took in their surroundings. They couldn't believe what they saw. Rose pedals were strewn in a path that led to the master bedroom and they passed a bottle of champagne chilling in an ice bucket as they headed in that direction after putting their dessert in the refrigerator.

Once in the master bedroom, they notice that the rose pedals had extended to the bed and the covers were folded down so they could jump right in. Chuck opened the closet and saw that their clothes were hanging in the closet and he pulled open one of the draws and saw that his underwear and other clothes lay inside. Sarah went to another drawer and opened it. She saw her new Victoria's Secret purchases remaining in the bag but her other clothes were neatly put away.

They walked into the bathroom and noticed a large shower with two showerheads and a Jacuzzi tub for two. Their toothbrushes were in holders and a tube of peppermint toothpaste and mouthwash was sitting on the counter. "It looks like they thought of everything," said Sarah.

They walked back into the bedroom and Chuck took Sarah into his arms and hugged her tightly and kissed her tenderly on the lips. Sarah leaned back a little and smiled at him. Realizing that they hadn't completely removed their coats, Chuck slid Sarah's coat off her shoulders and hung it in the closet. Chuck followed suit with his coat and came back to Sarah who was standing by the foot of the bed, looking absolutely stunning in her Versace dress. Chuck took her in his arms and kissed her passionately and stroked her bare skin on her back with his hands. Sarah kissed him back and ran her hands underneath his suit coat. When they broke for air, Chuck said, "I hope you don't mind waiting a few minutes, but I really want to take a shower and be all fresh and clean for you. I'll be fast, I promise."

Sarah nodded. "It will be difficult, but I can wait a few more minutes. Besides, I want to be all fresh and clean for you, too. I also bought something special to wear for you. You go first."

Chuck gulped and Sarah pushed him into the bathroom and he took a quick shower, brushed his teeth and used the mouthwash. He decided a quick shave was in order so he wouldn't have too much scruff in the morning. He got ready to come out of the bathroom wearing one of the his/her terry cloth robes that were hanging on the door and his boxers.

While Chuck was in the bathroom, Sarah decided to do a little exploring of the penthouse. The view was spectacular. She decided to bring the champagne into the bedroom and check the rest of the drawers. In each nightstand drawer there were boxes of assorted condoms of various brands, types and colors. Sarah chuckled and decided she would have a little fun embarrassing Chuck with these. She also wanted to discuss birth control with him as she was on the pill.

Sarah heard the shower stop and decided she would gather what she needed. She opened her drawer and took out the bag with her purchases. She removed what she wasn't going to immediately wear and put them in the drawer. She was debating whether to have Chuck help her take off her dress. She really wanted him to, but that would take away from what she was planning. She knew she would wear this dress for him on other occasions, so she decided to do it herself.

When Chuck opened the bathroom door, she smiled at him and held up a few of the boxes of condoms. "Just how many times were you planning on doing it tonight, Mr. Bartowski?"

Chuck just looked embarrassed and stammered "Wha wha wha, I, um, where, what, I don't know what you mean, Sarah."

Sarah laughed and came up to him and put her arms around him and said, "You're so much fun to tease. I know you didn't buy these. But since were going to be here for over a week, we just might use them all if you play your cards right."

Chuck just gulped and his mind went completely blank. Sarah pulled him down for a quick kiss which snapped him out of his stupor. "Besides, I am on the pill for other reasons. So we don't even need to open these boxes unless you want to. And no, you have nothing to be concerned about. You know, as athletes, we get tested for all kinds of things and I decided to get tested for everything else while I was at it and I am clean. Besides I haven't been with anyone in over five years."

Chuck looked down at her and smiled and kissed her tenderly. "I haven't been with anyone since Jill and we broke up over five years ago. There was a scare at Harvard last year and the school wanted everyone to get tested. So, I got tested for everything as well even though I wasn't doing it. So, let's leave the boxes unopened."

Sarah smiled at him and kissed him and pushed him toward the bed. "Go warm up the bed for us. I'll be right out. Sarah stepped out of her dress and hung it behind the door. She slid off her stockings and garter belt and knickers and jumped into the shower, careful not to get her hair wet. After a quick shower, she dried off, brushed her teeth, used the mouthwash and dabbed on a little perfume. She stood before the mirror naked and looked at her body appraisingly. I hope Chuck likes what he sees. She took the light blue nightie she bought and put it on. Ellie was right. It did make her eyes jump out. I hope it makes Chuck's eyes jump out. She pulled on the matching lacy and sheer knickers and after checking to see that her hair was brushed and everything was in place, she opened the door and walked into the bedroom.

Chuck, who was reclining on the bed heard the bathroom door open and watched Sarah emerge. His heart nearly stopped and his breathing hitched as he saw his gorgeous girlfriend enter the room. She came to the foot of the bed and was very pleased at Chuck's reaction. His eyes were wide with wonder and desire and he looked in a trance. "Do you like it, Chuck?"

Chuck was so taken in by her, that all he could do was nod. Sarah smiled and held out her arms and slowly turned around for him to see her from all sides. After she finished turning around, Chuck sat up and reached for her with his hand. "Oh my god Sarah. I knew you were beautiful, but there are no words to describe just how very beautiful you are."

Sarah grinned broadly at him and took his hand and came up to him on the bed. They were on their knees facing each other. "I give myself to you Chuck Bartowski and only you. I am yours whenever you want, wherever you want, as long as you want."

Chuck was overjoyed at her words and her love and her trust and her commitment to him. "I give myself to you, Sarah Walker, one day soon I hope Sarah Bartowski, and only you. I also am yours whenever you want, wherever you want, as long as you want."

They both had tears of joy in their eyes as they lay down on the bed together, their heads sharing a pillow. They started slowly, kissing each other on the lips, forehead, cheek, jawline and neck. Chuck's hands made circles over Sarah's back through the nightie and he eventually reached the bottom of it and found bare skin and headed north. Sarah moaned softly at his touch and she reciprocated the back massage as Chuck was wearing only his boxers. They pressed their bodies together and Sarah could feel just how excited Chuck was and pushed against him. Sarah's nightie was soon removed with no help from Sarah necessary. Chuck kissed Sarah down her torso until he reached her belly button. He stuck his tongue in it, causing Sarah to chuckle and grab his head. Chuck continued kissing lower and lower until he reached her center, where his fingers pleasured her. Chuck peppered the area with light kisses and Sarah wiggled with desire. "Chuuuuuuuuck," Sarah moaned. He finally got the message and kissed his way back to the waistband of her knickers. Chuck used his teeth to grab the waistband and pulled downward. Sarah lifted her hips and used her hands to help Chuck remove them and finally she was completely naked before him, and she wasn't embarrassed at all.

Chuck told her "You truly are the most beautiful woman in the world."

Sarah smirked "You've seen every woman in the world, naked?"

"No, but I don't need to. I get to see you and that's all I ever want or need to see"

"Good answer. There is someone in this room that is not me that is very overdressed. Come here."

She pulled Chuck down on the bed and rolled over on top of him. She rubbed her breasts on his chest, sending shivers of pleasure down his spine. She kissed her way down his chest to the top of his boxers and continued downward, peppering kisses down his length. Chuck moaned and Sarah decided to follow Chuck's lead and used her teeth to grab the waistband and pull down. Chuck raised his hips and helped slide them off and now they were both naked on the bed. Chuck normally was uncomfortable being naked, but wasn't in front of Sarah. Here was his soul mate, and he loved her completely.

Sarah straddled him and smiled at him and said "Wow Chuck. You are quite the hunk, as Carina would say." You are so big and it's been a very long time for me." Chuck smiled and said, "It's been a very long time for me, too. Are you ready?"

Sarah nodded. "Very."

"Guide me in sweetheart and take your time and let gravity help"

Sarah raised herself up and slowly lowered herself onto Chuck and found the going difficult. Chuck said, "Be patient sweetheart, and relax. Just relax."

Sarah smiled at him and he put his hands back on her breasts and she placed her hands over his. "I love you Sarah." "I love you too, Chuck." As Sarah stopped being concerned about what was going on down below, she relaxed and Chuck slid farther and farther inside her. After a few minutes, Chuck pushed up a little and felt himself go all the way in. Sarah opened her eyes wide and said "Oh."

"See, Sarah, I'm a perfect fit, just for you."

Sarah smiled broadly. "Yes, you are, Chuck."

After enjoying the feeling of being inside her for a few minutes, Chuck began to move inside her. Sarah joined in and was soon matching his rhythm and they were quickly brought to the edge. Finally, they came together in an intense yet completely satisfying climax and Sarah stretched out on top of Chuck and kissed him with every ounce of love she could muster. After they broke for air, Chuck said, "Wow, wow, wow, wow, Sarah. That was beyond incredible. You were fantastic." Sarah smiled back at him. "You were the one that was fantastic, Chuck. I've never felt that good in my life. You're right. It's beyond incredible."

Chuck just held Sarah in his arms and said, "I love you Sarah." Sarah smiled and said "Mmmmmm. I love you too, Chuck." He pulled the covers over them and they took a little nap before round two. Rounds three and four followed before the sun rose in the morning.
