Tobias' POV
I wake up early the next morning and blink a few times. I look down my body and see my beautiful fiancée sleeping with her head over my heart. I can't believe she said yes. Well, I hoped she would. I love her so much and I can't imagine my life without her. I grab her hand with the engagement ring and pull it to my lips to kiss every knuckle. I know I might wake her, but I can't stop myself. She soon stirs and lifts her head. She looks up, but I can tell she isn't fully awake yet. I smile at her and she smiles back.
"Good morning, my love" I say.
"Morning, honey."
"How did you sleep?"
"Wonderful."
"You?"
"The best I had in years" I say.
"I can't believe we got engaged" she says admiring her ring. I kiss her head and smile.
"I was thinking the same when I woke up. You regret it?" I ask, hoping she doesn't. She turns around to look at me with a surprised look on her face.
"Of course not. I love you, Tobias and it would be my honor and pleasure to be your wife" she says and smiles softly.
"I love you, too" I say and we kiss. She moans into my mouth and I take this as encouragement to go further. I lick her bottom lip and she opens her mouth for me. I push my tongue inside and tangle it with hers. I'm now fully awake and I have propped myself up and pushed her into the mattress. I am hovering over her, resting my weight on my left arm, while my right hand explores her still clothed body.
"I need you" she says breathlessly.
I'm not one to deny my lady anything, so I proceed to undress her. I throw the comforter off of me and help her get rid of her flannel shirt. She sits up and I pull the shirt over her head revealing her naked chest to me. I smirk at the sight and push her back. She lies down smiling stretching out her arms. I lean down and she wraps herself around me, legs around my waist and arms around my neck. We kiss with fervor and I feel myself getting more and more uncomfortable in my pants.
"Tris" I pant. She pushes my shoulder and I turn around to lie on my back. Tris sits up and straddles my lap bending forward to kiss my lips, my jaw, my chin. Her lips follow a trail to my pulse point where she sucks lightly before proceeding to nibble my collar bone. While Tris is kissing and biting lightly my chest area I caress her sides and grab her butt. I start kneading both butt cheeks and she moans loudly and starts grinding against me.
"Tobias, I can't take it anymore" she says. I slowly push her pajama pants and panties down her ass and she stands up to fully remove them. I quickly get rid of my own pants and briefs and lie back down. We both need each other desperately. There's time for romance later. Tris sits back down and grinds a little more against me, making sure she is wet enough to take me in. But before I can probe her with my finger she slides down my body until her head is level with my throbbing member, which is standing at attention for her. She licks her lips and then her right palm. She envelops my cock in her hand and starts pumping it gently to build up the pressure. I lift myself up on my elbows just in time to have a better view of her taking it into her mouth. She looks up at me through her lashes while bobbing her head up and down my length, stroking whatever doesn't fit into her mouth with her hand. This image alone makes me go crazy and I'm not sure I can take much longer without fucking her.
"Babe, stop. If you don't, I'll come and I want to do it inside you" I say panting. She let's go of me with a loud popping sound and smirks. She reaches down her body and rubs her entrance, pushing one of her slender fingers inside to check her readiness. She positions herself above me, grabbing my cock with her right hand and rubbing it against her slick folds, while steadying herself with her left hand on my shoulder. She places my cock at her entrance and slides down gracefully until I'm fully sheathed. We both moan at the deep contact and relish in the sensations this position gives us. Tris starts rocking her hips and I meet each of her moves with my own, we both soon move in sync as one. She sits up straighter and I steady her by holding her hands in mine, our fingers intertwined as I watch her ride me like there's no tomorrow. She increases her pace and I help her by lifting her butt and slamming it back down on my length. When Tris is close she bends forward leaning her head against my shoulder. I hold her hips tight and slam against her with wild abandon until I feel her walls clench around my still pounding cock, squeezing it tightly and making me join her on the other side of pure bliss.
We stay like that for several minutes breathing heavily and just enjoying the aftermath of our lovemaking without saying another word. When my breathing evens out I start rubbing her back and kissing her shoulder.
"That was awesome" she says.
"Yeah, it was" I say. "I love you."
"I love you too" she says and looks at me smiling brightly. "And I love sex for breakfast."
"Me too. It's the most important and delicious meal of the day" I say smirking.
"Couldn't agree more" she says laughing and gets up. I wonder momentarily where she's going when she crawls back up with the comforter under her arm. "We should keep this close" she says and snuggles into my side.
I rub her back lightly and she buries her face in the crook of my neck. I can feel her smile against my skin which makes me smile too.
"You hungry?" I ask.
"A little bit, but let's stay in bed for a couple more minutes" she says.
"Alright" I say and kiss her head.
"I'm so happy, Tobias" she says after a while.
"Me too. I can't wait to marry you" I say sincerely.
"Whoa, there Speedy" she says laughing. "We just got engaged."
"So?"
"You move kind of fast here" she says and sits up, holding the sheet around her body.
"Is that bad? I know what I want" I say honestly and caress her cheek. "But if it's too fast we can wait."
"How about we take our time and not rush things" she says. I sit up, thinking of what she said.
"Are you having second thoughts?" I ask concerned.
"No, of course not. I'm just saying we should take our time and plan the wedding. I want it to be a nice day for the both of us."
"Me too. Maybe we should set a date" I say hopeful. If it were up to me we would get married today. I know that I love her and that I want to spend the rest of my life with her.
"How about June?" she asks.
"June? You wanna keep me waiting till June?" I ask and she laughs.
"Come on. It's not that long. There's so much to do and I really don't want to get married during the cold season" she says with a frown. I think about it and she's right. Besides, we probably need to set some money aside for the wedding and honeymoon. That will take a while.
"You're right. June it is. How about the first weekend?" I ask and check my phone. "June 4th?"
"Perfect. We also need to check at work, but I don't think there's a problem" she says.
"No. Things go great at the gym and I'm sure Zeke can take over for two weeks" I say.
"That'll be great. I'm sure my boss won't mind two weeks, especially since I could take my laptop with me if necessary" she says.
"No way. I won't let you work on our honeymoon" I say.
"I'm just saying. I wouldn't really work" she says smiling.
"Good. 'Cause on our honeymoon the only two people that matter are you and me."
"That's right" she agrees and kisses me. When we pull apart we smile at each other. "We have the when now we just need to figure out the where."
"Where we'll go on our honeymoon?"
"Wedding and honeymoon."
"I have an idea for our honeymoon" I say remembering something she told me on our first date.
"Really? Where?" she asks clearly excited.
"Nope. It's a surprise, but I promise you'll love it" I assure her.
"Of course, I will. I don't really care where we're going as long as we're together. We could stay at home for all I care. Or we could come here" she says smiling.
"I know, but it's our honeymoon and you deserve the best" I say caressing her cheek.
"Correction. We both do."
"You're right. I love you."
"I love you too." We kiss softly, pouring all our love into it. I feel so blessed having her in my life. And I'm so happy that soon this beautiful girl will be my wife.
"Maybe our friends or our parents know where we could celebrate our wedding" I say.
"Yeah. But let's forget about that right now and just enjoy ourselves" she says grinning.
"Oh, what do you have in mind?" I ask her smirking. My baby wants some sugar.
"Something delicious" she says and licks her lips seductively. I feel myself getting hard and lean forward to kiss her, but she jumps up, wraps one of the sheets securely around her and walks into the small kitchenette. "You coming?" she asks. I look after her dumbfounded.
"Huh? What?" I ask stupidly. "Tris?"
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing?" I ask getting up myself and putting my sweat pants on.
"Something delicious" she says smiling widely. I look at what she prepared on the counter and see the ingredients for eggs and bacon.
"I thought you meant…" I stutter. She looks at me curiously and raises an eyebrow.
"What did you think?" she asks all serious and looks at me for a moment before she bursts out laughing.
"You little trickster" I say and wrap an arm around her and start tickling her making her laugh loudly.
"Stop, please, I surrender" she manages to say.
"I hope this will teach you not to trick me again, Ms. Prior" I say.
"It's a good lesson, Mr. Eaton" she says laughing. "But I can't guarantee that I learned it properly" she says and runs into the living/bedroom to grab some clothes. "Make me breakfast" she orders.
"Have I ever told you that you are bossy?" I ask chuckling.
"Every time I order you around" she says laughing.
"We need to change that" I say and start cooking.
"Nope. You just need to accept that I'm your boss" she says coming back, wearing her PJ pants and one of my tee shirts.
"Don't you have your own shirts, Ms. Prior?" I ask her, but I don't mind. I actually love seeing her wearing mine.
"I have, but I like yours better" she says and sniffs the shirt. "Hm, smells of Tobias" she says smiling.
"You are nuts, honey."
"So are you."
"Nuts about you" I say and peck her lips. "Let's agree we're both nuts about each other" I add.
"Or just nuts" she says laughing.
We work together in the kitchenette and soon sit down to eat. We decide to go out for a hike, exploring the surrounding area a little bit, while it's still warm. Now that winter is almost here the days are shorter and the nights are long and cold.
We both put on warm clothes and boots and packed a few sandwiches and two water bottles. I only brought one backpack, which I'm carrying, of course. Tris protested at first, but gave in ultimately when I told her she is our designated photographer.
Tris walks beside me taking many pictures and every once in a while when she sees something she likes, like an interesting tree, she stops and makes me stand next to her so that we can take a selfie with it. We laugh and have fun and every now and then we come back to our wedding plans.
"Indoor or outdoor?" she asks, startling me.
"What?" I ask, looking at her confused.
"The wedding. Indoor or outdoor?"
"Outdoor" I say. I don't really go to church so a wedding outdoors would be more appealing. "Unless you want indoor."
"No, I think it's a great idea. But if we do it outdoors, where?" she asks.
"Park?" I ask.
"Yeah, maybe. Tobias?"
"Yes" I ask and grab her hand.
"Would you mind if we would hire a wedding planner?" she asks and looks at me expectantly.
"Why would I mind?" I ask.
"I don't know, just asking."
"No. What is a wedding planner doing anyway?"
"Planning" she says with a chuckle.
"Well, duh" I say and tickle her, which makes her giggle. "But could you be more specific?"
"Well a wedding planner would take over the planning. We would tell him or her whatever we want for our wedding, from number of guests to flowers or color theme. The wedding planner would choose several locations and show them to us and we would decide, he or she would put together a menu according to our wishes, including pastries and of course the wedding cake. Flowers, decorations, invitations and a lot more" she tells me while climbing and balancing on a log. I hold her hand, making sure she doesn't fall.
"I had no idea there's so much work to do" I say honestly.
"To be honest, I wouldn't neither. But you know our friends, especially one" she says looking at me. Of course I know who she means: Christina. "Oh my God. Christina could plan the wedding. She told me she didn't get the job in the beauty parlor. And we could pay her."
"How much would that cost?" I ask. I don't really care how much, I would give Tris the moon if she would ask for it. But it so happens that my girl doesn't ask for material things. She never asked for expensive jewelry or perfumes or anything like that. I once bought her a new fountain pen, because her old one finally broke. It wasn't anything expensive. I actually bought it from the kids aisle with school supplies. It's a regular fountain pen with Minnie Mouse on it. When I gave it to her she looked so happy and thanked me over and over again. Whoever would have seen us then would have thought I just gave her a diamond bracelet or something. But no, my girl was super excited for a regular kiddie fountain pen. She had a similar reaction when I surprised her one time and brought her hot dogs to work. We IM-ed during work hours, because she was sick for the past couple of days and I wanted to see if she is alright. When I appeared in her office she was so concentrated that she didn't even hear me knock. I got closer and when she saw me she smiled widely and came to hug me. When I showed her the food she kissed me all over the face thanking me for bringing some to her. She couldn't leave her office because she had to do some cyber check thing that I don't understand and we ended up eating at her desk. Over the past months since I met her and we became a couple I found that it is very easy to please her. She isn't demanding or a control freak like other girls. We trust each other and whenever we have a problem we talk things through. Yeah, we sometimes get loud, but we never insult each other or worse. And if we can't reach common ground one of us leaves the apartment for an hour so and comes back with a cleared mind. We resume our discussion and finally reach a solution. We decided from the first fight we had that we would never go to bed angry and that's how things have been working ever since.
"I don't know, but we could check it out and then ask her. I mean, she obviously will be my maid of honor. I had to promise her when we were little" she says with a chuckle.
"How little?" I ask amused.
"Very little. Let's say back then we didn't even know what a period was let alone sex or the other grown-up things" she says laughing. "But Christina insisted that when we grow up and get married we would be each other's maid of honor."
"Sounds like her. Okay. I'm all for it. But please don't make me go through a billion stores, especially not with Christina" I say a little whiny.
"You nuts? Of course not. I'm gonna do everything I can to talk my way out, too" she says and looks me straight in the eyes.
"I love you" I tell her. She smiles brightly and kisses me softly on the lips.
"I love you, too."
"No, you don't understand" I say and she furrows her eyebrows. "I love you, especially for not being so… for the lack of a better word girly" I emphasize the last word. She laughs loudly at that and smacks my arm.
"Yeah, Shauna and Chris tried to make a real girl out of me for years. And yet here I am, a computer specialist – so not a girl's job, a Krav Maga practitioner capable of beating your sorry ass" she says.
"Hey" I say in mock offense, but she ignores it.
"Handy around the house with nails and hammer" she adds.
"Oh, but you are a girl. The most beautiful one I've ever seen. And you are all mine" I say and wrap my arms around her. She giggles and we start kissing. I hold her close and breathe in her scent. I'll never get tired of just holding her in my arms.
"Babe?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm hungry. Let's eat a sandwich" she says.
"Okay. But let's go over there" I say pointing south-west. We walk a short distance and reach the lake, where dad and I usually fish.
"Oh my God, Tobias. This looks amazing" she says taking in the scenery.
"I thought you'd like it" I say and sit down on a log, retrieving two sandwiches from the backpack and the water bottles.
"Thank you" she says as she takes hers and sits down next to me.
"We could come back when it gets warmer and I can teach you how to fish" I tell her.
"Really? What makes you think I don't know already?" she asks with a cocky grin.
"'Cause I asked your dad" I reply smiling.
"What if dad doesn't know?" she asks.
"Someone taught you?" I ask a little disappointed.
"Yeah" she says looking toward the lake. "A handsome young man, years ago" she says and I wonder who she means. Maybe an ex-boyfriend.
"May I ask who?" She turns to look at me, a big smile on her face. What?
"I was five years old" she starts saying and I sigh in relief. She chuckles at that, but doesn't say anything about it. "As I was saying, a handsome young man decided to teach me one day. I remember it vividly. It was the first day of Christmas and he sat down with me in the living room and prepared the fish tank. He gave me a pink fishing rod, while he used a green one" she says and then it dawns on me.
"Caleb" I say, but it comes out as a whisper.
"Yeah" she says lightly. "My dear brother just got a brand new "Let's go fishin'" game and taught me how to properly fish plastic fish out of a plastic, water-less fish tank. It was a magical bonding moment between brother and sister that we both shall cherish forever" she says using a dramatic voice.
"Babe, you are the craziest girl I have ever met" I say and kiss her cheek. "So, how about I teach you to fish real ones?" I ask and she nods her head, since she took another bite from her sandwich.
"I'd love that" she says after swallowing.
We stay out here for a while longer enjoying the autumn sun, but the cold wind makes us rethink our hike and we return back to the cabin. It's still early for supper and Tris and I just cuddle on the couch in front of the fireplace talking about little things, from a groceries list to buying a few new movies to watch at home.
"Would you like to buy a house?" I ask her after a while. Tris is lying down, her head in my lap and her face toward me. She looks up at me curiously while I play with a strand of her hair.
"Now?" she asks snickering.
"No, baby. After we get married. What do you think?"
"Maybe. But there's no rush."
"What if we decide to expand our little family?" I ask her hopeful. I know this is still a delicate subject between us, but I would really love to have kids. At least, this is the case since I met her. I look into her eyes awaiting her response.
"Babe, even if we have a baby, we won't be needing a house right away. A bigger apartment should suffice for the time being. I don't want us to buy a house just for the sake of it. I want us to find a place we could call home" she says smiling and playing with the hand that was resting on her stomach.
"If we were to buy a house, how should it be? I mean, how does your dream house look like?" I ask her.
"Honestly? I haven't given that much thought. I guess I'll know my dream house when I see it. But if we finally decide to buy one we could buy one of these magazines that feature houses and all kinds of ideas to decorate it" she suggests.
"Yeah, we could do that. What about kids?"
"What about them?"
"How many?" I ask smirking.
"I don't know. Two, maybe three" she says.
"What? I was hoping at least four or six" he says. At that she sits up abruptly and stares at me with wide eyes.
"Are you out of your mind? We would be completely outnumbered, not to mention I would be a whale for the first decade of our marriage, unless we have twins or triplets" she says jokingly.
"Babe, I'm good at the lovin' part, but I doubt I'm that good to get you pregnant with three babies at a time" I say with a chuckle.
"What? I thought that someone with such a specific nickname like yours would be capable to get me knocked up with four babies" she says and I start laughing at her adorableness.
"Four? Really?"
"Okay, maybe four are three to many" she says, scrunching her nose. I bend down and kiss her softly.
"I love you" I tell her looking deep into her eyes.
"I love you too" she says caressing my cheek. "I have an idea" she says getting up. "Stay here" she orders and walks up the stairs. I hear shuffling around and then I hear water.
"Whatcha doing, babe?" I shout from downstairs.
"Don't come up. Not yet" she shouts back. "Make sure the fire doesn't go out. I don't want to freeze my ass off" she says and I chuckle. After ten minutes or so I go into the kitchen to grab a beer, when I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. I turn around and almost drop my bottle. Tris is standing completely naked at the bottom of the stairs and beckons me with her finger to go to her. I put my bottle down and sprint to her. I pick her up and she wraps her legs around me. I kiss her passionately and she responds with the same fervor. I start walking toward the bed, when Tris breaks our kiss. "Nah-uh" she says and points with her index finger to go upstairs. I kiss her again and walk with her still in my arms up the stairs. I am pleasantly surprised to find that my gorgeous fiancée prepared the hot tub for us. The room is lit only by candles and Tris already prepared big fluffy towels for when we get out.
"This looks amazing, honey" I say and kiss her again. I put her down and start undressing. I help her into the tub and follow closely. We snuggle close to each other, just enjoying the warmth of the water and each other's company.
"We need to get a hot tub" she says. I laugh lightly.
"Babe, there's no room at home" I say and kiss her temple.
"I know that" she turns her head and kisses my jaw. "I meant when we get a house. Would be cool to have one at home" she says and turns around and plays with my large hand.
"You know, I always wanted a little spa at home" I say and she snaps her head back, looking at me with disbelief.
"Spa? You serious?" she asks. I try to keep a serious face and nod my head. "Now that's the last thing I thought to hear from you. Anyone, but you." I can't keep it together anymore and start laughing. "You tricked me" she says trying to sound angry but ends up laughing with me.
"But seriously now. I wouldn't mind a hot tub and a sauna at home" I tell her honestly.
"What about a home gym?" she asks.
"Wouldn't say no to that either" I say and kiss her cheek.
"Then we should plan for that too. I mean, when we finally get a house we should make it our own with all we want in it" she tells me looking up at me with her beautiful gray-blue eyes.
"What do you want?" I ask her.
"A library with a cozy reading corner."
"Sounds great."
"Tobias?" she asks, her voice a little breaking. I know she wants to tell me something important. She always sounds like this and looks away when she has something important to tell me.
"What is it, babe? You can tell me" I reassure her.
"I know. Listen. I was offered a job" she says, but keeps looking at the water in front of her, avoiding my gaze.
"Okay" I say, unable to think of anything better to say.
"I was contacted by some government people who offered me funding for my research. Remember I told you about some ideas I had for things to invent?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I presented them to a scientific panel and the government is interested to work with me. They are willing to fund me for at least five years, if I agree to work exclusively for them" she tells me and I start to worry. Not because I don't believe in her and her abilities, but because of this exclusivity thing. "I asked details about how this work relationship would look like" she adds, sensing that I had questions.
"And?" I ask and she finally turns around to face me. She is serious and looks straight into my eyes.
"I told them I wouldn't leave Chicago, since my family and friends are here. They said that wouldn't be a problem. I might have to travel from time to time to Washington or New York, but not often. They would provide me with work space, if I request it and as I said already funding. The thing is, I need to keep this quiet, as in top secret. Whether my inventions or computer programs will be used by them or not I need to keep them quiet until they decide. If they choose not to use them I can sell them to third parties."
"Do you want to do this?" I ask her curiously.
"I don't know. Kind of" she says. "What do you think?"
"I think it's your decision" I tell her honestly.
"No, it's ours. We are a couple and we are engaged to be married" she says holding up her left hand waving it in front of my face. I chuckle and kiss her ring finger, which makes her giggle. "Seriously now. I want this to be our decision."
"Alright. I think we should talk to them, but we need a good lawyer. I want you to be protected" I tell her.
"I thought of a lawyer too and they said I could bring one. Question is, who?"
"A good one. I think I know someone" I tell her.
"Who?" she asks looking at me quizzically.
"Jack Kang, from Candor Law" I tell her and her eyes widen.
"That's a very prestigious and expensive law firm" she says.
"Yeah, but I know Jack and he owes me a favor. He could at least hear us out and give his professional opinion."
"How do you know him?" she asks me turning so that she could see me better.
"A while ago he was threatened and he came to the gym for self-defense classes. He asked for a few private sessions and after he told me why he needed them I accepted to help him. We kind of became friends and hung out a couple of times."
"You think he would do this?"
"There's no harm in asking him. I could call him on Monday and set up a meeting. Would you like that?" I ask and kiss the tip of her nose.
"Yeah. Thank you, honey" she says and draws my mouth to hers and we kiss leisurely. Soon our kiss turns more passionate and before we know it we desecrate dad's hot tub. But I don't mind. I don't mind at all.
A/N: Guys, I need your help. Christmas (in the story) is around the corner and I need some ideas for some presents for our favorite ship. I expect suggestions, people. Don't let me down. Also, a couple of pics are already on the Pinterest board dedicated to the story. Unfortunately, the site doesn't allow me to post the link to my Pinterest account, but just go to Pinterest and look for Christina Wind. You'll get several results, mine is the one with the dark gray picture of an angel. Once there just look for the board. If you have any problems just PM me.
