Chapter 78

Roman and Ella walked slowly home. Miles had taken Mike to stay with him and they had the house to themselves. They held hands and looked at each other and smiled or grinned or even laughed. Then there was the kissing. It took a long time to walk home. She had refused to take off the flowing dress loving the way it moved around her body. Roman would catch her smoothing it down or swirling it around her legs. He would smile at her and she would blush. They would be making long love tonight and the anticipation was almost as good as being naked in a bed.
Eventually reaching home he opened the door and turning he lifted her up in his arms.
"What are you doing?" she gasped laughing.
He grinned.
"Carrying my bride over the threshold." He grinned at her.
She kissed him.
He kicked the door shut behind him and carried her all the way up the stairs and into the bedroom.
"Wow." She said when he lowered her to her feet by the bed. "Do you have any energy left?" she smiled at him.
"Oh I have plenty of energy left Mrs Harris." He said pulling off the tie Nic had made him wear then the suit jacket and the shirt.
She giggled and turned around.
"I believe this dress was designed for you." She said. "You need to help me undo the buttons."
He took a step forward and moved her hair to one side to focus on the buttons.
"I have to disagree. You see she must know how much you like the back of your neck kissed and designed this dress so I would focus on your beautiful neck first. Then." He paused and slipped a few of the buttons undone and it slowly slipped down her arms. "Then" he continued "I would see these beautiful breasts of yours." He moved his hands to cup them, rubbing his fingers across the sensitive nipples. She looked across in the mirror and saw them and moaned.
He grinned.
"And you would lean back against me like this and I would peel the dress down and see you."
She leant back against him moaning as his hand pushed the silky material down and it slithered down her thighs to land in a silken pool on the carpeted floor.
He looked at them in the same mirror and smiled.
He slid his hands lowered and they rested on her belly for a moment. Their eyes met in the mirror and for a moment they remembered their loss. She placed her hands on top of his and moved them slowly.
He returned his attention to her neck, feasting himself like a vampire on all the sensitive spots that made her moan with pleasure. He lifted her and lay her on the bed. Stripping the rest of their clothes off he made love to his wife.

Nic led Geoff home.
She liked the sound of that.
She went to step inside but he pulled her back.
"This is the bit where I do this." He told her and swept her up in his arms and carried her into the house.
"No wonder Ella loves it when my dad does that." she said grinning.
"Does my Princess enjoy this?" he asked her a glint in his eyes.
Nic nodded.
Ruby and Annie must have been busy because the house was filled with flowers and lit candles and it looked so romantic. She grinned and leaned forward to kiss him.
He smiled and lowered her slowly to the floor.
"I love you Geoffrey Campbell my husband." She said.
"I get the feeling that you may be happy!" he said to her.
"I very well may be absolutely happy I love you and now I can tell you. I can scream it from the rooftop of the Sydney opera house. Everybody will know exactly what I feel for you." She said.
"Or you could hire a skywriter?" he suggested.
She grinned.
"Now you are getting it." she told him softly, the light of love shinning like a beacon in her eyes. "I love you Nicole Franklin Harris Campbell." He said to her.
"Take me to bed Geoff. Take me to bed and make love to me until morning."
He grinned.
"Now how did your dad do it?" he asked rhetorically.
He lifted her in a fireman's lift over his shoulder and carried her up the stairs and into their bedroom.
"Pretty much like this." She said laughing.
He lowered her to the bed.
"Get your clothes off." He ordered her.
"Ouh." She said. "I love you being masterful."
"Stop talking and get naked. I have waited too long for tonight and I need you too much." He said softly to her.
She peeled off her clothes slowly watching him from under her lashes. She gasped when he got naked in front of her, unembarrassed by letting her see him. His former shyness gone. She missed it for a moment, but the realisation that he could only be like this with her because he loved her took her breath away.
Her pulse quickened with anticipation.
"I love you." He said softly. "I love you."
He helped ease off her jeans and saw that she had chosen the option of no underwear underneath them. He giggled and looked at her.
"I love you. " He said again kissing her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him back slowly. Then passionately then frantically as they were swept up in the moment. She moaned against his lips feeling her body almost explode with pleasure from feeling his lips on hers.
He pulled away and looked at her for a brief moment before pressing kisses all the way down her body to the tips of her toes and then back up. She writhed and moaned underneath him. He parted her thighs and kissed the sensitive inner thigh feeling her hands reach for him to pull him up. He let his tongue slip between his lips and he lavished her thighs with kisses and teasing touches. He moved then urgently, unable to hold back any longer and slid over the top of her feeling her hands desperately touch him everywhere she could reach. He looked down on her seeing her eyes her smile her lips moving as she whispered the words that she loved him and wanted him.
He joined his body with his wife's, moaning softly against her lips.
"I love you." He said to her. "I'll always love you."
She grinned.
"My husband." She said holding him as close to her as she could.
