Chapter 7: Salt Lake City
The first rays of sunlight shone through the window drawing shadows on her naked back, her dark and long hair was ruffled on the pillow, and the white sheet was surrounding her figure as if it was covered by a thin layer of snow. Sheldon touched her delicate skin with his fingers, still unable to believe that Amy was sleeping in his arms. The scent of her body impregnated every one of his senses, and the only sound his ears could hear was her calm breathing.
It had been hours since he'd woken up, and he'd just stood there, contemplating her, unsure if waking her up could break the spell, that all this happiness could vanish. He never had a feeling like this, so connected to another person, so secure and calm in his life, his mind had always been a battle, a stormy sea of unresolved questions, fears and unfinished things, that tormented him, but during the last hours none of that existed, only Amy and him, and their bodies letting themselves be found, and feeling something so incredible, that Sheldon knew nothing could ever get over it.
The wheels of the train changing tracks bridled the wagon, moving their bodies and waking up Amy, who opened her eyes slowly, turning her body in front of Sheldon, with the biggest and brightest smile that her face had ever drawn.
Amy fixed her gaze on his deep blue eyes, with the most incredible shade of blue, that any sea has ever had. She wanted to talk, as much as Sheldon, both wanted to express in words all the feelings that were arising within them, but, what to say that could express something like that? Instead, they approached slowly, both of them remain in silent, face to face, rubbing their fingers against each other's skin, trying to memorize their bodies, every inch of them and the feeling that their connected skins produce, so strong and powerful that could move the earth, or at least for them.
- "Good morning". Sheldon finally sighed, kissing the tip of her nose delicately, while his hands hugged her naked body tightly to him.
- "Good morning". She answered him, with a soft sigh while her smile was still shining on her face. "I can´t believe I woke up by your side, I mean, I never did something like that before".
- "Me neither". Sheldon fixed his deep gaze on her, biting his lips. "But it was amazing, right?".
- "It was …". She hummed, sinking her face into his neck and kissing his soft skin, while her hands went up from his back to his shoulders.
- "Amy?". He repeated her name, as he ran his fingers dancing along for the skin of her back, making her purr like a kitten in his arms.
- "Uhmm?". She moaned, still buried in his body.
- "Will you stay here in the room until the end of the trip?. Sheldon asked, afraid of the answer that he longed want to hear from her lips. Amy sat up in bed, covering her breasts with the sheet, and placing her long hair on one of her bare shoulders. "I mean … I don't think that you want to go back to the room with Christy, and well …".
- "Do you want me to stay here with you?". She interrupted him, while her whole skin bristling with just saying it aloud.
- "Yes, I mean, I would love to". Sheldon cupped her face with his hands, bringing it to his face gently. "I don't think there's anything else right now that would make me happier than having you here, Amy".
Amy melted in his arms, if she was an ice cube, surely, she would turned into water...boiling water. Was all this real?. Never, not in a million of years, she would have said that something like this would happen to her, that her life would become a love novel, one of that she had longed for so much, but Sheldon's lips kissing her were the definite proof that everything was real, or at least, the most vivid and incredible dream she ever had.
When his lips gently parted from hers, Amy opened her eyes again, enchanted by his gaze which made her whole body tremble. Still, it seemed like a dream for Sheldon to have her in his arms, to kiss her, to caress her, and to connected with her in the way their bodies did, all night long. For the first time in his life, everything was calm, everything was perfect.
- "I should go for my belongings to the other room". Amy said as she tried to remove the long arms of Sheldon, which were surrounding her body.
- "No, wait here a little more". He begged her, bringing his body close to her, and kissing her all over her face, while listening to her giggles.
- "Come on, I need to take my things, and you have work to do, I don't want to distract you anymore". Amy smiled, while raised her body on the bed, trying to cover everything she could with the sheet, but Sheldon didn't make it easy.
- "You never distract me". He said, giving her another kiss, laying her back on the bed. "I couldn´t work even if everyone in the world vanished around me, is not you". His face paled like a ghost, and his bright eyes closed for a few seconds.
- "Sheldon, you know you can tell me anything, right?. I know there's something that tortures you, open up with me, you can trust me". Amy said softly, taking his hand and bringing it to her chest, right in the heart.
- "I know Amy, it's not that, it's ... I don't want you to look at me differently once I tell you, I don't think I would be capable to see that".
- "Sheldon, there's nothing you can say will change what you make me feel, how much you've changed my life in just a week, and ... it's not like you killed anyone, right?". She joked, kissing the top of his nose, making him smiling shyly.
- "No, but, doesn't make me a good scientist, or a good person either". He sat up in the bed, letting the sheet fall to his waist as his eyes darkened like never before. "I will tell you a story that I never told anyone, and I never thought I would do".
Amy approached to him slowly, impatient and at the same time, terrified, to know what was Sheldon hiding, wich was so terrible that tormented him, and made him leave his truly passion aside. "I'm listening". She simply said, supporting her face in her hand.
- "There is a lot of competition in the field of physics, especially, at my university, or at least, it was". Sheldon started to explain, his voice cracked because of his nervousness. "But the biggest rivalry has always been between my coworker in the department, Dr. Kripke and me, he has always tried to refute my studies in all unimaginable ways, and well, I had my revenge, but at a high price".
- "What happened?".
- "One morning, I was walking to my office, it seemed like a normal day, but I heard a peculiar noise coming from Kripke's office, he had spent the whole night working and had fallen asleep on his desk. I approached to mock at him, I swear, but then I saw it, nearly hundreds of blackboards around him, with thousands of equations which seemed to make not sense at all, for anyone, except for me. In a few seconds my mind connected the blackboards and I saw a solution that Kripke had overlooked, at least for the moment. It was so simple and intelligent, it could solve so much in the field, would be the revolution of the decade, but I couldn't allow Kripke to take the credit, his mediocre mind would never have reached that solution, there was no other solution".
- "Sheldon, what did you do?".
- "I did something that I regret every second of each day, Amy". Sheldon put his hands over his face, covering his eyes and sighing deeply before speaking again. "I erased the blackboards, took his notes and left the university, I warned an hour later that I was sick so I didn't go for several days".
- "Well, you stole one night's work from your co-worker, he hadn´t reached to any conclusion, it's bad but it's not that terrible".
- "It's not just that, I ruined his career, Amy. Not only I erased what gave me the idea, I stole his studies for the last two years, what he was going to publish, and what the university was paying him for".
- "Oh" left her lips while her eyes remained focused on him, in every word he said.
- "He get fired, and the scientific press scoffed at him, Amy, not only I take away from him the opportunity to advance in science, I ruined his life, when I found out a few days later, I had already burned the notes and I couldn't tell him that it was me, not without giving his notes back".
- "And what did you do with your idea?".
- "I couldn´t work on it, every time I looked at the blackboard I only saw what I had done, the numbers blamed me, judged me, and they were right, I simply couldn't, I kept what I could and left without giving explanations, I couldn't live in a lie like that".
- "Sheldon, I don't know what to say, it's a bit overwhelming".
- "I know what you're thinking of me, is what I think of myself and I know I can never forgive me for something like that, I can´t expect you do. I know I lost you in the moment I said it aloud, but I had to do it, I had to get it out of me".
- "Wait a moment, you didn't tell that to anyone? Not even to your roommate, or to his fiancee, what was her name?".
- "Penny, and no, I couldn't find the words to say it, and I thought I could never but ... with you, it's so easy to talk, Amy, it's as if you already knew me for a long time and I can tell you everything, it's very strange".
Sheldon turned his body, avoiding Amy's gaze, but she returned to him, surrounding him with her arms, cupping his face and forcing him to look directly into her green and big eyes.
- "It's not strange, it's wonderful, and I feel exactly the same with you. And don't think even for a moment that something has changed in the way I see you for telling me this, if it could be, now it's even better, I know that you are human, and as such we make mistakes, some more serious than others, but all can be solved, and Sheldon, we will find a solution, I promise you".
Sheldon closed his eyes, filling himself with each word that had left her soft and perfect lips, and as if to close the deal was, his lips sank into hers, in despair to have them as close as possible. Roaming with his hands over her naked body entwined in him.
- "I don't know what I've done to deserve someone as perfect as you". He sighed between kisses, his body wanted her as much as his mind.
She heard his words rebound on her lips, digging into her skin like a knife. She was not perfect, quite the opposite, she had have a long and difficult childhood and adolescence, and had done things she regretted, many of them, unspeakable, and now when things seemed to fit, when they seemed to had back on track, Sheldon appeared in her life, disrupting everything in the most incredible of the ways.
- "I'm not perfect, Sheldon". Amy sigh, clearing her voice and moving her face away from him. "There is something you should know".
Sheldon sat back on the bed, his gaze was fixed on her and his eyes had recovered the blue ocean shade that mesmerize her. "Alright, tell me". A shily smile draw on his face and made Amy hesitate for a moment.
Just as the words were about to leave her lips, the sound of someone hitting the door caught them by surprise, followed by a voice, that Amy knew perfectly to whom it belonged.
- "Sheldon?". Christy repeated, hitting the door again, this time harder.
- "Do not open, I don't want to talk to her". Sheldon whispered to Amy.
- "I don't think she is the kind of woman who will not insist, let me". Amy said, raising up from the bed and surrounding her naked body with one of the sheets, while Sheldon covered himself as much as possible with the blanket that remained in the bed.
Amy firm walked the way to the door, her long and dark hair fell over her shoulders and her cheeks were still flush rosy. Taking a big breath, she flung open the door, finding herself face to face with her roommate, Christy, who blanched in the second her eyes made contact with her.
- "Oh, good morning Christy, I didn't expect you here". Amy said sassy, she didn't know from where this pose came from, she had never done anything like that, but it felt so good, finally she will pay for all the tears she cried.
- "I - umm …". Christy muttered, searching for words she couldn't find while her eyes roamed around the room, seeing the clothes scattered on the floor, and Sheldon sitting on the bed, looking at them with a smile, and his bare torso uncovered.
- "So? You wanted something, right?". Amy placed her hand on her hip, squinting her eyes, waiting for her reaction.
- "Yes, well, I have valued my attitude of last night and I wanted to talked it about with Sheldon, but I see that you are …. really busy".
- "So, what I believe you are trying to say is, that you feel sorry for your behavior last night, and you should, but don't worry, is all forgotten, besides I think I have to thank you, otherwise this would never happened". Amy approached to her, whispering to her ear. "All - night - long". She said hoarsely as she turned her head back, winking at Sheldon who returned a mischievous smile to her. "It has been a pleasure Christy". Amy finished, closing the door into her face, which had the same pale color as the snow in the window.
Amy starred in front of the closed door for a few seconds, had she really done that? She had never been able to confront anyone, not even reply to the abuses she had suffered day after day all her life. A sense of victory invaded her entire body, as if closing that door had also closed the way to all her demons from the past, to all the memories that tormented her adult life ... and all thanks to him.
She turned back, contemplating the figure of Sheldon who was smiling at her from the down bed of the bunk, the sheet only covered up to his waist, and his muscular chest seemed like sweet chocolate to eat for her.
In a jump, Amy fell on the bed, being received by the long arms of Sheldon, who took her between them, kissing her face as if it had been an eternity that they have been together.
- "Did you see what I just did? I can´t believe that I reply to her like that". Amy shouted with emotion and joy, while kissing him over and over again, each inch of his face. "I feel incredible".
- "I'm very proud of you, she deserved it, and seeing her confused face was worth it". He said to her with a huge smile, hugging her soft body and melting his lips back onto hers.
Her lips were so soft and tender, like a sweet delicacy that he never get tire of. His hands began to travel up over her back, lowering the sheet in his path and discovering her naked body, stroking with his fingers, like a dance on her skin.
When his lips gently parted from hers, Amy opened her eyes again, enchanted by that gaze which made her whole body tremble. "I should go for my things, I don't have any more clothes in here, and I don't want that Christy throw them out of the window".
Sheldon approached to her face, biting his lip in anticipation, as someone who is going to taste the most precious dessert. "You may not need it, Miss. Fowler". He whispered, rolling with his body on top of her, kissing her neck with so much force that she felt how her skin burned under his touch.
- "Hoo". Amy murmured, as her head layed down on the pillow, while his hands went down to her thighs, stroking slowly up and making her skin bristle. As her breathing accelerate to the beat of the first moans that come from her lips.
Sheldon opened her legs gently, placing himself between them, feeling how his whole body vibrated in anticipation, because his body had already taken control of his instincts, it wasn't just how much he wanted to feel her, it was what his body needed desperately, feel her body connected to his, until the end of the day.
Amy opened her eyes, connecting their gazes, and letting him know how much she needed him too. All the sensations, the caresses and all the kisses, everything was so new, and at the same time it seemed so right and natural, as if all her life had been lost in the ocean, and just in this moment, in which both shared body and soul, she had found the way home.
- "Amy". He groaned desperately, as he reached the climax, after what could be minutes or even hours.
Amy went her gaze to the window, seeing as the sun had gone, and the dark night had covered the train, but right now, she wouldn't wish to be in any other place, more than in this one, savoring the delights of Sheldon's body, in which her legs were twisted, still trembling and shaking from her intense last orgasm.
Sheldon opened his eyes, the room was still dark, and the warmth of Amy's body was beside him with her legs intertwined in his, after they both fell asleep after their third time of making love. He raised slowly from the bed, feeling his body so full of energy and happiness, never in his life, he felt like this, as if he could do everything, around the whole world if he had to.
Slowly, trying not to wake her up, he gets up, dressing himself and picking up his books and notes. His thoughts wandered to Amy, to her mind which was revolutionized, she knew exactly what she had to do to him, what she had to say, if it was for science or just the weather, she deserves the best of him, only the best.
As he walked down the train aisle, only the sound of his footsteps on the carpet broke the silence of the night. The communal room was completely empty, and after a long discussion with the revisor, he finally left the keys to Sheldon, who started to work with more strength than ever.
The hours passed on the clock at the wall, which now marked five o'clock in the morning, Sheldon wrote paper after paper without stopping, thinking only one thing, getting his life back on track, being someone to be proud of, someone who really deserves to be with Amy.
Suddenly, the sound of the door caused him to turn around, Amy was staring at the frame door, wearing her long white nightgown, and her hair still tousled from the sleep and sex. Her eyes had a special shine, and her skin seemed as soft and delicate as the snow.
He had never seen her so beautiful, like a beautiful mirage which let his heart stop in tracks for a second, as a divine gift for which he will never had enough life to deserve.
- "I woke up without you in bed, are you okay?". Amy came in softly, closing the door behind her, and turning the key.
- "Oh yes, better than ever, I´m totally dedicated to work, your idea of recreate his notes using my eidetic memory, is incredible, it's as if I still had the notes in my hand".
- "I'm so glad, it's great to see you so happy". Amy continued pacing through the room, standing next to the piano, and running her hands over it.
- "And it's all thanks to you". Sheldon got up from the table, walking towards her with a big smile on his face. "You have been my inspiration".
- "Oh, thank you, that's beautiful". She gulped, when Sheldon stared into her eyes, while his hands stroke over her waist, sliding them slowly over her silky nightdress, down to her thighs, lifting her up and sitting her on the piano.
- "Not as much as you are". He whispered, sinking his lips onto her neck, while his hands rose up to her core. "I think you forgot to put your panties on, Dr. Fowler".
- "Ups!" She amusingly said, while biting her lip and sliding her fingers through his hair.
Her head fell backwards, noticing the fingers of Sheldon sliding over of her warm and sensitive spot. Sheldon lifted the nightgown over her head, letting it fall on the piano and looking over her beautiful naked body. Stroking with his fingers over her soft skin, he appreciate how she goosebump at his path, as her nipples hardened.
Without hesitation, he brought his mouth to her skin, starting to kiss her shoulders and collarbones, downing softly and dragging his tongue with him, while Amy's soft moans welcomed him. Covering her breasts with his hands, he make her whole body arch against the avalanche of sensations, she lowered her back onto the piano with a heavy breathing.
Sheldon placed himself between her legs, sitting on the bench, and lowering his kisses now to her thighs and legs, stroking them up and down with his fingers.
- "Sheldon, please". Amy begged, unable to move her body, who had fallen prey to the intense pleasure that Sheldon provided her.
- "Not yet, little lady". Sheldon groaned, sliding his lips to her core, caressing with his tongue slowly on it.
- "Oh, my!". Amy screamed in pleasure, feeling how her whole body nearly exploded. Laying her arms over her head to experience this pure pleasure.
- "You should be quieter, they can hear us if you keep screaming". Sheldon warned her, while returning to her, rubbing with his thumb in her more sensitive spot.
- "I will do what I can, but I can't promise anyth- oh!" She groaned deeply, arching her back against the dark and hard wood of the piano.
Amy tensed up under his warm and wet tongue, which was dancing between her folds, while his fingers drew circles over her clitoris. She tilted her head back and moaned, harder, louder. She knew she should be quiet, but the sensation was so overwhelming that it seemed that the world had vanished around them.
Sheldon speed up the thrust with his fingers, feeling how her legs had tightened beside his head. He kissed and licked her harder, letting his tongue twirl through her wet core, biting softly into it and hearing her moans of pleasure, that seemed like a paradise to his ears.
- "Mmm, Oh, God!". Amy groaned while her body writhed. She had stopped trying to hide it, and now her body was owned to the pleasure, a unique and incredible pleasure that Sheldon was giving to her.
With each thrust the volume of her screams and moans rose up, just as the walls around his fingers narrowed. Sheldon knew she was close, so damn close. He could feel how her walls tightened around his fingers. Her back arched again as and her breathing was about to reach the drown.
Sheldon brushed even harder with his tongue over her swollen spot, biting it as his fingers writhed inside, feeling how her body begin to wobble. Amy howled, while her body was shaking, victim of the whipping of the orgasm which shook her body, like an earthquake, causing her to faint on the piano, while trying to recover her breath which had been lost minutes ago.
- "Wo - wow". She barely whispered, her voice shaking from the sensation and the flood of happiness hormones who run through her veins.
She felt how her body was being carried away from Sheldon, who took her gently, placing her nightdress back over her overwhelmed and sensitive body, and slowly, he took her into his arms, kissing her gently on her forehead.
Everything around her was now moving, Amy saw everything blurred and she was too tired to even open her eyes. Her head lay against his shoulders, while Sheldon placed her back into their bed, raising the sheet over her body as the soft light of dawn started to pierce the soft curtains of the bedroom.
- "Are you coming back?". She whispered, with her eyes still closed, but her hand holding his.
- "Always, Amy". He whispered back. Leaving her alone just for a few minutes while he picked up his notes, and come back to her, as he promised, to where he should be, in bed, with Amy.
