I want to thank everyone for reviewing and reading my story! :) I agree with some of you, the relationship did go pretty quickly, but I feel that's how their relationship is in the show. I hope you'll like this chapter.

Chapter 6:

Deacon set her down in front of the bed and they smiled at each other. "Are you upset that I came here with out asking you? I know it's your cabin and I had no business in coming here." "It was a little weird to see you here but I don't mind. I guess this is yours in a way too because of all the time we spent here." Rayna stepped on her tippy toes and kissed him lightly in response. He pulled her closer and intensified the kiss. She slowly pulled his shirt off and ran her fingers down his back. He smiled against her lips and pulled his shirt off of her and ran his hands up her back all the while kissing her. He unclasped her bra and slid it off her arms. She undid his belt and slid it out of the loops. He sat her down on the bed and removed his boots and pants before pushing her down and kissing her. She giggled when she felt that he was ready for her too and decided to push his boxers off. He laughed and slid her panties off as well. He kissed his way up her body till he reached her lips and stopped. Rayna squirmed, "what is it?" "Nothing, you're just beautiful is all." Rayna blushed and looked down. "It's true, you have nothing to be ashamed of." Rayna smiled, "the only person I want to please is you. Now get on with it, I'm getting impatient here!" Deacon laughed and gave her what she was asking for. Rayna moaned at his response and their breathing and movements became one. They both felt so satisfied and so happy.

After they were done Rayna lay on top of Deacon with her head nestled in his neck, one hand in his hair and the other on his heart. She could feel his heart beat and the rhythm relaxed her. Deacon was stoking her hair with one hand and drawing lazy circles on her back with the other. She kissed his neck softly, "this feels so right." She sighed. "Yeah, it really does. I missed you." She lifted her head and kissed him and then lay her head back down. They both felt so absolutely relaxed that neither one of them wanted to move. She heard him say, "I love you." She mumbled, "I love you too." He knew she was about to fall asleep from her soft reply. He smiled and let her fall asleep. He felt the familiar buzzing along his legs that were entwined with his and felt electricity radiating from where her hand was and it spread throughout his body. There was no place or no one that would ever make him this happy. He was so relaxed and happy that he soon fell asleep too.

They both woke in the same position they fell asleep in. Rayna woke up first and she smiled as she realized where and who she was with. She lifted her head up and looked at Deacon's face, she slowly allowed her lips to touch his. He stirred a little and she knew he would wake up. He opened his blue eyes and smiled when they connected with hers. "Morning," she whispered. He kissed her and mumbled good morning back. They felt as if they were back in time, when this was their normal routine. She kissed him again wanting to be closer to him than she already was and he intensified their kiss once again. They didn't need to say anything else because their bodies were doing the talking for them, once again ready to show the other how much they loved them. This was a routine that they had mastered perfectly. It always went the same way when they were at the cabin it was as if it had been set in stone since the first time they had gone there. Deacon rolled on top of her and continued what her soft morning kiss had started.

Afterwords, Rayna lay her head on his shoulder, "wanna get up? I'm hungry and I have been craving those toasts that you make. With ham and cheese and eggs." Deacon chuckled, "yeah I'm hungry too. You worked up my appetite." Rayna laughed and they both got up. Deacon got a clean shirt and put it on and then slipped on his boxers. Rayna put his shirt back on and took out pyjama pants she had brought and slipped them on. They both walked to the kitchen and Deacon went to the door to get the groceries he had brought. He handed one bag to Rayna and they put everything away.

"So that song you sang last night, I liked it," Deacon opened the cupboard and pulled the pan out. "I was trying to send a message," she smiled at him and took out two glasses and filled them with orange juice. He laughed, "I don't know how much clearer you could have gotten." "Last night and this morning I think made it clearer," she replied wittily. He laughed, "mhm, there is no doubt in my mind now," he kissed her cheek. She smiled and went to take out the cheese and ham and eggs from the fridge and brought them to him and he took out the bread. She set the table in the time that he was making breakfast. Everything was where she remembered it to be and she was surprised at how she hadn't forgotten. She then made coffee and brought it to the table and Deacon brought the two plates with him.

While they were eating he said, "I think we should talk about what it is we are doing here. Are we together now? Do you want that? What about Maddie?" Rayna hadn't realized that what had happened last night changed everything. She hadn't thought of the consequences. "I um, I don't know. I didn't really think this through. Of course I want us to be together but I don't know if this is the right time. Maddie said she wanted to see you and that she wanted you to be part of her life. She wants to know if you want that too." "When will it ever be the right time Ray? We always run away from our problems and when we finally do get back together, new problems arise. Last night I realized that I want to be with you and only you. Of course I want Maddie to be part of my life!" Rayna felt guilty for the past thirteen years. She felt guilty that Deacon hadn't known about Maddie, "Babe I don't want you to be angry with me. I'm just trying to sort through all this. Maybe this is the right time, maybe we can finally be together. I feel so guilty for not telling you about our daughter. I want you to have a relationship with her too. I don't have any other secrets, you officially know everything there is to know about me so I think we can start something definite now." His voice was filled with hope, "so, you're saying we're together?" "I love you and I want to be with you so yeah I guess we're together. I want to keep this relationship as quite as possible, if you agree. I think we need to test the waters more carefully this time." He leaned over the table and kissed her, "I agree with you, we should definitely take it slow this time." Rayna smiled, "are our definitions of slow the same, because I was thinking veryyyy slow." Deacon gave her a questioning look, "does that mean I don't get to have you in my bed, because I wouldn't be to happy about that." Rayna gave him a wicked smile, "no, I can be in your bed, but only for sleeping." Deacon rolled his eyes, "okayyy, let's see how that goes. Something tells me that you'll be the one to break your little rule." Rayna rolled her eyes too, "I think it's the other way around." She then leaned over the table and kissed him. He replied, "I guess we'll have to wait and see." She replied, "the looser has to buy the winner a new pair of cowboy or girl boots of their choice." Deacon chuckled, "that works." "We have to take it seriously though. Promise?" She stretched out her hand and Deacon brushed it out of the way and kissed her instead, "I promise." Rayna smiled and continued kissing him. He pulled back and Rayna pouted. He said, "I want to win those cowboy boots!" Rayna was still pouting and her voice sounded like a little girl's, "it was only kissing though." Deacon thought she looked so cute and he kissed her nose, "mhmmmm and we all know where that leads." Rayna laughed and got up, "yeah we are going to do a bad job at this game." She carried the dishes to the sink and Deacon rapped his arms around her and kissed the back of her neck lightly, "yeah we are." She was starting to relax but realized that if she gave in she would loose, he was just tricking her. She pushed him away with her elbows, "uh uh uh. I know what your trying to do, but I want those cowgirl boots." He stepped back and she looked over her shoulder and they laughed.

"Anything you want to do today pretty lady? Besides stay inside near the fire?" He knows me like the back of my hand she thought. She had always loved staying inside near the fire with Deacon. They would sit there for hours talking about everything and nothing at the same time. She shook her head, "no staying inside with you sounds good." Deacon kissed her cheek and started drying the dishes. "Oh um by the way, I can stay here today and tomorrow if you want because the tour doesn't start till after after tomorrow. Teddy has the girls but they will come on tour with me for the weekend and then Tandy will fly back with them." He laughed, "wow, I get to spend three days with you? What did I do to deserve that?" She smiled, "I ask myself the same thing all the time. What did I do to deserve you? You are the only man that makes me happy and that makes me feel beautiful just by looking at me. I honestly don't deserve you after the pain I put you through when I didn't wait for you and when I lied to you." She was almost crying so he stopped what he was doing and hugged her, "I put you through a lot too Ray. I know we cause each other pain but we bring each other so much happiness too and I don't want to live without you anymore." She tightened her hold on him, "I'm not going anywhere. I belong here with you." Deacon lifted her head up and kissed her, "I love you." Rayna smiled against his lips, "I love you more."
