Chapter 13 (pg version)
"Oh yes, AJ! Oh yes!" Mac assured him.
Untying the belt of her wraparound dress, he slid the cloth through the loops holding it in place and then helped it to slide off her shoulders until it lay in a scarlet pool at her feet. He took a step back to look at her and she could see the desire in his eyes. "Sarah, you're breathtaking!"
"I'm glad that you find me so AJ," she told him as she stepped forward to reach for the buttons on his shirt. Mac wanted to finally see the body she had dreamed of, the body hidden away by his uniform all those years. Remembering how he looked in his running clothes for the JAGathon race, she knew he was trim and fit, but she couldn't wait to run her hands over his naked flesh.
Once the shirt was gone she looked at the light mat of hair on his chest and was reminded of the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears she had read to little AJ and Jimmy last week. He wasn't too hairy or too bare like some men she'd seen, no, AJ was 'just right'! With a happy sigh she ran her hands from his shoulders down to his chest, curling her fingers in the hair there.
"Sarah," he sighed.
"Do you like that?" she inquired. His beautiful coffee colored eyes had deepened in color and were now the shade of her favorite dark chocolate. She felt she could lose herself in their sweet depths.
'Yes," he told her and then pulled her to him to kiss her, when they parted for air, he whispered, "It's so hard to believe that this is really happening. I've dreamed of us being together so many times that I'm sure I'll wake up soon only to find you gone again."
"AJ, if this is a dream, then both of us are having it this time. Please trust that this is real and I will be with you for as long as you want me."
"Then we'll be together forever Sarah, because that's how long it will take to show you how deeply I love you."
"Forever, that has a very nice ring to it," she sighed.
Lifting her into his arms AJ placed her in the center of the bed and then gently removed her shoes. Caressing his way up her legs, he slowly drew his hands down again removing her stocking as he went.
When she was clad in just her panties, Mac could wait no longer to be free of the last scrap of fabric. Sliding them off on her own legs, she got them as far as her knees before he was there to help her.
As her panties joined the rest of the clothes on the floor, AJ came to her and lay next to her. Another earth-shattering kiss had her squirming on the bed trying to convey to him her need for more.
