I felt safe and warm for the first time in almost seventeen
years.
We slept little, instead spending the dark, night hours
exploring each others’ bodies. I’d never known such exquisite pleasure, but in
Fallon’s arms I felt as if this was only the beginning. He seemed to revel in
my bliss, my pleasure only serving to heighten his through his strange mental
link.
As his hands explored my body, I was delighted to discover
they were every bit as soft as I’d imagined they would be against my skin. They
were strong, too. Their very touch sent shivers of pure pleasure coursing
through my body. Fallon moved slowly, as if he wanted to give me plenty of time
to change my mind. But I doubted my body would have allowed me to resist at this
point. He could have asked anything of me and I would have consented… as long
as he promised to keep touching me like that.
The only time I came close to losing my nerve was when
Fallon started to help me out of my clothes. His hands moved slowly, working at
the buttons on my blouse, when I clasped mine over them, stilling his fingers,
and whispered, “Wait.”
Fallon did just as I asked. He pulled away from me, staring
deep into my eyes. “Don’t be afraid,” he murmured. “You’re in control. I’ll
stop any time you want me to.” He seemed to know exactly what I needed to hear
to assuage my fears.
I felt the muscles in my jaw clench as I drew a deep breath
in through my nose. Fallon smiled when he realized I’d made my decision and
watched, amused, as I moved his hands back to their former task. Soon, our
clothes lay in a mingled pile beside the bed.
Fallon stopped for a moment to look at me in the moonlight.
It was hard for me to feel comfortable, exposed as I was, but there was
something in Fallon’s eyes that soothed me.
“You’re beautiful,” he breathed.
“You have to say that,” I teased half-heartedly.
Fallon grinned. “I guess so, but it doesn’t change the fact
that you are.”
I giggled a little as he slid his body against mine again,
lying down beside me, his lips trailing across my skin as he moved. Then I
gasped as his powerful arms moved my body over his and I found myself
straddling his torso. The muscles of his abdomen were taut beneath my trembling
fingers.
Fallon smiled up at me, his hands on my hips. “You’re in
control,” he repeated. There was a twinkle in his eyes as I grasped his
meaning. His grip tightened almost imperceptibly at my hips as he lifted and
guided me over him. I gasped loudly when he slid inside me, my eyes seeking his
in the moonlit room.
We moved as one, my mind completely devoid of any thought
except the pleasure we shared. I had never felt like this and I couldn’t stop
the tears from falling. I didn’t cry out of sadness, but when he saw the tears
Fallon stopped. He pulled himself into a sitting position, with me still
situated across his midsection, and hugged me tightly.
“This is what it’s supposed to be like,” he whispered, aware
that my mind had traveled, unbidden, to memories of how I’d always been made to
feel before: used and unclean. His head was cradled against my breasts and I
moved my hands into his hair, the silken strands soft beneath my fingers. I
turned his face up to meet my gaze and silently mouthed the words that were in
my mind.
Thank you.

Following the birth of her second child, she committed herself to writing her
first novel. Unfortunately for her, story ideas rarely present
themselves one at a time and she often has two (if not three)
manuscripts in progress at once. When she's not writing her own
material, she enjoys reading a wide variety of books, many of them
aloud to her husband and two children.
