For the Countess

[Friendly Dragon]

I know how much this thread meant to you, and you said you'd like to come back to it some time. Well I remember these things you know and I can't think of a better time than now.

Happy Valentine's Day Countess

(This is a continuation of our parts from an old ill-fated prom thread)

I sat in the car, staring up the pathway that led to her door. It was only a short distance, one I'd walked countless times before, but tonight was different...tonight was special...and tonight, the path seemed like it stretched on forever.

I shifted uncomfortably in the rented tuxedo, breathing slowly to try to calm my nerves. I so wanted this night to be perfect for Tammy in every way. I'd spent every penny that I'd saved over the last couple of summers, and my parents had lent me more, which would probably take me the next couple of years to pay back. But it was worth it...she was worth it.

I thought I saw a flicker from the curtain in the window of her living room. Well, I couldn't sit here all night, I thought. Reaching into the back seat to retrieve the flowers I'd bought, I opened the door and stepped out onto the path.

It only took a moment to reach the door, although it seemed like an eternity as a thousand tiny thoughts whirled through my mind. Straightening my tux, I took one final deep breath and rang the bell...

"Daddy!!" I squealed from the top of the stairs, "get the door!"

My dad grumbled, but put down his paper and opened the door for John. Mom was putting the final touches on my dress. It was black, floor-length and strapless. The skirt had an under panel of white while the shirred bodice was quite low. I'd had so much fun shopping for it! But more shopping had been required to find the perfect lingere. The stockings were black held in place by a lacy garterbelt that matched my panties and a strapless corset that pressed my breasts up just like those girls in the movies set in the 1800's. Mom kept trying to pull the top of my dress up, but I kept pulling it down.

"Will you stop that!" she finally said in exasperation. giving up using my dress to cover my swelling breasts, she wrapped a lacy black shawl around my shoulders, tying it just above my breasts. Her look of triumph was priceless. She had to know that I'd ditch it as soon as we got to the car.

Dad opened the door and John walked in. He said hi to Dad then both looked up the stairs where mom was finishing with the knot on my shawl. He looked so handsome. I think mom wanted to cry, but she ran to get her camera. John's eyes never left me as I came down the stairs. Dad's eyes never left John. My parents really like John - what's not to like? - but this was our senior prom, and I could imagine what they were thinking.

"We'd better hurry, or we're going to be late..." I said, when it seemed that John's tongue might be permenantly tied. He helped me on with my wrist corsage and we endured the endless pictures and admonitions by my parents. Finally, we were out in the car, and on our way to the biggest night of our entire high school careers. And considering what might happen AFTER the prom, maybe the biggest night of my life.

I couldn't take my eyes off Tammy; she looked...radiant.

As we sat side by side in the car, I started the engine and turned to her, smiling.

"You look so beautiful Tammy, I'm the luckiest guy in the whole world."

She returned my smile -- she had such a great smile, it melted my heart every single time -- and I leaned forward and kissed her deeply.

Eventually we reluctantly broke the kiss. "We'd better get going." she giggled.

"Guess so..." I replied, beaming. I gave her another quick kiss and then we set off.

Several minutes later we arrived outside the school. It looked like everyone else was already inside, so I quickly parked up and got out of the car. Jogging around to the other side I opened Tammy's door for her and offer my hand, which she happily accepted. She stepped out and we hurried to the entrance, still hand in hand.

As we arrived at the door, I turned and kissed her again.

"I love you Tammy."

I just melted when ever John said that. "I love you too," I whispered in his ear as I kissed him.

We walked into the gym hand in hand. Everyone was there! This was going to be a great prom! We said hi to all our friends on our way to a table. I sat and John went to get us some punch. We sat and talked like we often did. I loved John's mind almost as much as I loved his body! And I could never get enough of his body! One of my good friends had asked me if we'd slept together yet. I told her we hadn't. Yet.

I looked over at him and smiled. He'd planned everything for tonight, he'd said.

The DJ played a set of fast songs that we just weren't up to dancing to yet, then finally put on some slow music. John stood and held his hand out to me. "Care to dance?" he asked.

I untied my shawl, then left it and my purse on the table. I felt a little self-conscious the way my breasts practically popped out of my dress, but with John holding me, no one would notice. Except him. That wasn't such a bad thing, was it?

 

[Friendly Dragon]

John

As Tammy removed her shawl and stood up, her hand in mine, I just looked at her, unable and unwilling to avert my gaze. Her mother had once told me that her name literally meant perfection, and never was a name more deserving.

I could see she was a little self conscious about her incredible dress, and I held her close, so that her charms were for my eyes only. As we danced together, wrapped in the warmth of each other's bodies, I listened to her soft low breathing, and the quiet beating of her heart.

As the song began to wind down, I felt a moment of nervousness again. Thanks to a brief detour while collecting punch for us earlier, I'd known the order of the last few songs, and I knew one of her favourites was coming up next. I ran through my head one last time the words that I'd rehearsed for an hour in front of the mirror before I'd left.

When the music stopped I took her hand in mine and raised it to my lips, gently kissing her soft skin as I looked into her sparkling blue eyes. I placed her palm against my chest, directly over my heart, allowing her to feel the beating that was like thunder to my ears. My gaze never leaving hers, I began to speak, my voice low but full of conviction.

I hear my heart's song, oh so clear
it sings to me when you are near
I feel your touch upon my soul
only with you do I feel whole
for, every moment, every day
my love, you take my breath away ...

As I spoke the final word, with perfect timing the song began, and I smiled...

I let the music and John's arms sweep me away. I forgot all about my dress, the test next week in Trig, even that fight I had with my mother earlier in the day. All that mattered was John.

When he spoke, I didn't recognize the words at first, but when I heard the first strains of my favorite song, I smiled that smile that was only for him. I didn't think there could be a more thoughtful man in the universe.

And to think, it was a mere stroke of fate that we'd even met! My best friend, Marilyn, wanted me to go to a party with her because a guy she liked was going to be there. She was always after some new guy! So, despite canceling out on her the day before, she came over and dragged me along with her.

It was one of those typical beer parties where everyone was drinking and acting like idiots. Marilyn had hooked up with her guy and acted like I wasn't even there. I took my one beer out to the back yard for some fresh air. While I was sitting on a bench absorbed in my thoughts, someone asked me if he could sit down. I looked up and there was John. We talked for a while and the more we talked the more I found I liked. He asked me for my number and I gave it to him and the next night, he called to ask me out. That was almost a year ago.

Looking up at him, I was glad Marilyn had drug me to that party. While the song played, I snuggled my head against his shoulder and hoped that this night would never end.

 

[Friendly Dragon]

John

As Tammy and I danced, the sweet smell of her beautiful golden hair filling my senses, my mind began to wander, back to the first time we met.

It was at a party held by my friend Carl -- not really my scene so I didn't particularly want to go, but he kept pestering me and I guess I just couldn't think of a good enough excuse not to.

The party got pretty rowdy, as Carl's parties tended to, and so I decided to stay out of the way and keep a low profile. I was about to leave when I saw her, sat alone, lost in her thoughts.

She looked so beautiful, so thoughtful, but yet so lonely, even - or perhaps especially - amongst so many raucous people.

I hesitated, unsure whether I should approach her. Part of me, the shy part, told me that she must already have a boyfriend. But my heart told me that if I didn't go and speak to her, I could be making the biggest mistake of my life. Fortunately for me, I listened to my heart.

I asked if I coud sit with her, and as she looked up she smiled - such a wonderful, warm smile - and I knew my heart was right. We talked for what seemed like hours, but was over all too soon. We got on so well together, and I asked her for her number.

That weekend, we had our first date, and by the end of the evening I knew that this was the woman I wanted to spend my life with. We just seemed so right together, we shared so many interests, the same sense of humour, and often we even found ourselves thinking of the exact same thing at the same time.

That was almost a year ago, and what a wonderful year it had been. But tonight...tonight could be the most important night of my life.

As the song wound down, our eyes met.

"I love you."

 

[Countess DeWinter]

I just melted again into John's arms when he whispered "I love you."

"I love you too," I whispered back, a shy smile on my lips. I would never get tired of hearing that or saying it!

Another fast song came on and we really got into it, but when I had to tug my dress up countless times when it started to dip a little too low, John suggested we sit the fast ones out. I agreed with a laugh and we sat back down.

The evening...dancing, talking with friends at the table, talking with the girl in the restroom about after prom...went by so quickly. Soon, the last dance was playing and John was holding me again, my head pillowed on his strong shoulder.

"I have some special plans for later. Your dad extended your curfew, right?" he asked.

"I don't have to be home until after that breakfast hosted by the Lion's Club," I answered, "around 9:30 or 10." I looked up at him, sensing more than a little mischief in his expression. "Why? What have you got planned?"
I went ahead and asked that question, even though in my heart I knew the answer.

 

[Friendly Dragon]

John

"Why? What have you got planned?"

I felt my chest tightening at her question. I was more nervous now than I'd ever been in my life, and my mind struggled to find the right words. I tilted her face up gently until our eyes met, and I took her hand in mine as I struggled to calm my pounding heart.

"I want this night to be perfect for you Tammy, in every way. I...I booked us a room, so we can be alone together. I don't want to rush you...if you're not ready, then that's okay, I only want what you want. You mean the world to me Tammy, I love you so much. Making you happy is the only thing that matters to me."

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Tammy

John's words came out in a rush, but I understood him. I felt a blush creeping up my face to disappear into my hairline. I didn't want to tell him that I had been hoping he had something like that planned. I didn't want to tell him that in the bag of clothes I'd brought along to have something to change into after the dance I'd stashed a very sexy white nightie my friend Julie had helped me pick out.

We dance silently together for a while...I knew he was holding his breath waiting for my response. I could feel the nervous tension in his arms, his back, his whole body.

Finally, after two whole songs had played and we were just standing together while some silly announcement was being made about the king and queen of the prom, I softly whispered,

"I'm ready."

 

[Friendly Dragon]

John

It was as if time had stood still as we danced, my mind a storm of thoughts as I awaited Tammy's response. Had she been offended? Did she think I was pressuring her? Oh God, I hoped not. I was more nervous now than I'd been in my entire life, and I'd never be able to live with myself if I ruined the best thing to ever happen to me.

Finally, as I waited with bated breath, she whispered, "I'm ready."

I could feel all the tension flood out of my body in that instant, as time started once again for me. I gazed adoringly into her eyes for a moment, my face a picture of happiness. I wrapped my arms around her, hugging her close, our love passing silently between us. I could feel her heart beating in her chest, in time with mine.

"Are you sure?" I whispered.

She nodded, smiling shyly. I kissed her lovingly, and taking her hand in mine, I led her off the dance floor.

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Tammy

John hugged me tight, then led me off the floor. Suddenly, the prom didn't seem quite so exciting or important. We found our way to the parking lot and John helped me into the passenger side. He was such a gentleman. I could never resist that.

Well, in truth, I had done quite a bit of resisting. Not that John was forceful or anything, but I knew he wanted to have sex and I just wasn't sure. I wanted my first time to be special...not something I'd look back on and regret. I wasn't waiting for some elusive "perfect" night with candles or dinner or something. I wanted the perfect man.

I'd finally found him.

John drove with my head on his shoulder to the hotel. When we pulled into the parking space and he shut off the car, I got very nervous, but taking his face in my hands and kissing him hard on the lips made me more certain than ever that I'd made the right choice.

 

[Friendly Dragon]

John

I sensed Tammy's nervousness melt away as we kissed. I'd thought about this night a lot, trying to make sure I did everything right, made everything special for her. Now that we were here though, the butterflies were back in force. But one look at her smiling face, seeing how happy she was, and I knew I had nothing to worry about.

I got out of the car and hurried around to open her door for her. Taking her hand in mine, I helped her out, and then retrieved our bags from the trunk of the car. Carrying them in one hand, I slipped my other arm around her waist as we walked across the small parking lot and into the hotel foyer.

Bypassing reception, I led her straight for the elevator. We rode up to our floor in silence, our hands locked together, fingers entwined. My mind started racing again, worrying that she might be having second thoughts. This was something very big for her, I knew that. As the door opened, I turned to her and asked, "Are you okay?"

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Tammy

"Are you okay?"

John's words snapped me out of my reviere. The hotel lobby and elevator ride had somehow passed by without my even noticing as I realized what I was going to do tonight. I had waited for the perfect man, but was he really?

John opened the door to our room and, just before I could step inside, he sat our bags down and scooped me up, carrying me inside.

"John!" I gasped with a small laugh. "We're not married!"

"I know," he replied sheepishly, "but you won't be the same when we leave and I just wanted it to be, you know...perfect."

I smiled up at him, then captured his lips for a soft kiss before he sat me down. He fetched our bags from the hall then shut the door, hanging the Do Not Disturb sign on the knob.

I looked around the room and I could tell that John had been here. He'd placed candles around the room, which he was lighting now, and a bottle of something I couldn't quite see was chilling in an ice bucket next to the bed. I smiled to myself. I'd saved it for the right man. John was perfect.

With only a little nervousness -- okay, a lot of nervousness, I picked up my bag and headed for the bathroom. "I'm going to change," I had to giggle, "into something a little more comfortable."
Carefully hanging up my dress, I took out the silk gown and matching robe. The white silk slid over my body like a caress. Looking in the mirror, my heart started pounding even harder. It skimmed and teased my every curve, leaving only a little to the imagination. The robe wasn't even meant to cover...more to teasingly frame the gown. It had long sleeves, but was completely sheer.

Flipping off the light, I stepped back into the room. John had turned off the lights so that the room was lit by a dozen glowing candles. He stood beside the bed, opening the bottle of wine with his back to me. He'd taken off his jacket, tie and cummerbund so that I could see a few curls of hair peeking out of the open neck of his shirt.

The clicking of the door latch drew his eyes up and I stood as still as death, completely nervous.

 

[Friendly Dragon]

John

As I opened the bottle of wine, I heard the quiet click of the bathroom door behind me. I looked up and turned, and as I laid eyes on her my breath caught in my throat. I just stood there staring at her. She looked...I couldn't even begin to describe how incredible she looked.

"Oh Tammy," I said softly, my eyes filled with adoration, "you look so beautiful."

She smiled, that wonderful smile that melted my heart every time I saw it. As she walked -- almost glided -- towards me, I couldn't take my eyes off her. The exquisite silk gown clung enticingly to her every curve, making my pulse race at the sight. But more than even that, the look of pure happiness on her face, the love shining in her eyes, made her look...truly radiant.

I poured two glasses of wine and handed one to her. We sat down together on the edge of the bed, her small hand finding mine, our fingers meshing perfectly. Staring deep into each other's eyes, we 'clinked' our glasses together lightly.

"I love you so much Tammy."

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Tammy

"I love you too, John," I sighed as I took a small sip of wine. I was afraid to drink very much for fear of getting drunk. I never could handle alcohol very well. And I didn't want to miss even one moment of this night.

I sort of knew what would happen...well, I knew exactly what would happen. I had taken sex ed just like everyone else. But I didn't know what it would be like.

John sat his glass on the bedside table, then placed mine next to it. He held my face in his hands and softly pressed his lips to mine. I was shaking I was so scared, but I mentally chided myself. This was John! I knew to the bottom of my heart that he loved me and that I loved him. Of course, there were the little worries, like getting pregnant. It was hard to trust that little pill I'd been taking every morning for the last year to do the job.

Taking a deep breath, I snuggled my arm around John's waist, pressing myself along his lean length and scooting under his arm. I secretly hoped that my unfettered breasts pressing against him would cause him a certain discomfort.

 

[Friendly Dragon]

John

The silk of Tammy's gown was so fine, it almost felt like she was naked to my touch. Her breasts swelled as they pressed against my chest, tantalising me with glimpses of her soft full mounds as her chest rose and fell. I felt my face flush with warmth, accompanied by a stirring in my pants, as the sensation of her body against mine quickly filled me with desire. I loosened a couple of buttons on my shirt, but the growing discomfort in my pants would have to wait. Tonight wasn't about me, it was about Tammy, and I didn't want to rush her, or do anything to make her feel uncomfortable.

My hand fell to her thigh, caressing gently up and down over her hip, feeling the silk of her flimsy garment sliding along with my touch. My other hand lifted her long golden hair off her neck, allowing me to tenderly kiss the sweet skin that I uncovered. I kissed my way upwards, letting my hot breath play over the spot just behind her ear, drawing a low moan from her hips as I licked and sucked softy at this sensitive area.

Her sheer robe slid easily off her shoulders, revealing more of her pale skin. I eagerly tasted this new treat, my lips and tongue gliding wetly over her shoulder and neck. My hand on her hip moved higher, caressing her lower back in lazy circles. Every time I kissed or touched her somewhere new, I listened to her reaction, eager to discover every secret her body had to offer.

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Tammy

The wine was having its desired effect: I was getting much more relaxed. Everywhere John's lips touched made me gasp or moan. He was driving me insane with wanting...for something I was finally able to have.

John slid my robe down from my shoulders, kissing what new skin was bared to him. His hand on my lower back pressed me close to him for a moment while his lips captured mine once more. Finally, he pressed me back onto the bed.

I wasn't nervous anymore...I just wanted to experience all the pleasure he seemed determined to give me. He leaned over me and began kissing a path down my neck. When he encountered silk, he merely pulled my gown down until one pert breast was bared to his eyes...

and his mouth.

 

[Friendly Dragon]

John

Tammy sighed as I uncovered one of her breasts, the smooth silk of her gown sliding easily over her skin. I could sense her becoming more and more relaxed, which in turn helped to steady the last of my nerves.

I looked into her eyes and smiled as I leaned down over her bare breast, kissing and nuzzling lightly over her soft flesh, circling her nipple with my lips and tongue. My hand found her other breast, kneading and caressing her through her gown. Flicking my tongue out, I teasingly tasted her nipple, and again, a little firmer this time, running the whole length of my tongue over her sweet button. She moaned softly, and I felt her nipple stiffening at my touch, sending a thrill shivering through my body.

Sucking her now prominent bud between my lips, I flicked my tongue rapidly back and forth over the tip. As I did so, my hand glided up and down over her thigh, slipping under her gown and caressing her hip. As my touch roamed over her ass, lightly cupping and squeezing her ripe cheeks, I slowly closed my teeth around her hard nipple and tugged lightly at her sensitive flesh.

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Tammy

John's touch was so familiar and yet so foreign on my breast. We've made out before. We've kissed and touched each other...but never without clothes on. I've always held out. I wanted it to be special.

But nothing prepared me for the feeling of John's lips and tongue on my bare nipple. I felt the tingles all the way to my toes. And when he squeezed my ass the same time he bit down...I thought I would cum right then.

His hands never left my skin. It was like an electric current passed from him to me and back again in a never-ending cycle. Tentatively, I reached out and rested my hands on his hard muscled chest. His was hairy, just like my dad's. That made me feel secure and safe and very aroused all at the same time.

Building up my courage, I started unbuttoning his shirt while his lips traveled to my other nipple and he started to slide my gown completely off.

 

[Friendly Dragon]

John

Slowly I eased Tammy's gown lower and lower, revealing more of her body to my adoring eyes. As I did so, I hungrily tasted every inch of her soft breasts, teasing and tugging at her stiff nipples with lips and teeth. Her hands on my bare chest sent a shiver down my spine, and I paused for a few seconds, helping her with the last few buttons of my shirt before slipping it down off my shoulders.
Kneeling beside her for a moment, I pulled gently at her gown, sliding the silken garment down her legs and off, leaving her almost naked before me. With only her pure white panties remaining, she looked so beautiful stretched out on the bed before me, and I could feel my erection aching for her within my pants.

Leaning over her again, my lips met hers once more, kissing her softly and lingeringly. My tongue snaked out teasingly over her lips before darting into her mouth, dancing with hers. I felt her breasts against my chest, her nipples delightfully hard against my skin. My hands slipped around her, one running lightly through her long golden hair, while the other slipped inside the back of her panties, grasping at the soft flesh of her ass.

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Tammy

Why had I denied this moment for so long? John's touch felt so heavenly that my head was spinning. I'm not sure I could have even told someone my name if they asked me.

Gently, John slipped my gown off and I felt suddenly shy, naked save for my panties. When I slipped his shirt down his arms, he sat forward on his knees and held me tightly to his chest. The curly hair there tickled and teased my nipples, shooting sparks of pleasure down to my clit. As he pulled me tighter to him, my legs opened up to wrap close to his lean hips. His strong grip held my head for the onslaught of his lips while his other hand dipped into my panties to squeeze my ass.

Growing more confident, I wrapped my arms around him, slipping one hand up into his hair, the other down between us, working clumsily at his belt. Finally, I undid it, then, keeping my lips locked with his, brought my other hand down to unbutton his tux pants, then slipping both inside to squeeze his ass.

Disentangling my lips, I looked up into his eyes and whispered, "I want you, John."

 

[Friendly Dragon]

John

"I want you, John."

Those few words, spoken by the woman I loved with all my heart...there was just nothing in the world that could compare with the feeling that roused within me.

I closed my eyes briefly, savouring the feel of her hands as they explored my ass. Opening them again, our eyes met once more.

"I want you Tammy," I breathed, "you make me feel like I've never felt before."

I reached down, placing my hands over hers inside my pants for a moment, enjoying her touch, before slowly pulling my pants down off my hips. The bulge in my shorts was clearly noticible, as I rested on my side and slide my pants off.

Taking her slender legs in my hands, I wrapped them gently back around my waist, running my palms lightly up and down her thighs. Leaning over her, I kissed her breasts in turn, swirling my tongue over her prominent nipples, before kissing my way down her body. I shifted my position, sliding further down the bed as I nuzzled her stomach, licking and sucking a wet trail down to her belly button. Teasingly I probed the cute dimple, tickling her with my tongue. As I slid lower still, I hooked my fingers into the waist band of her panties. Kissing softly at her inner thighs, I slowly slid the pretty white garment down off her hips.

 

[Countess DeWinter]

Tammy

My hands slid up John's body as he moved down mine, kissing my nipples tenderly, making the hard little buds ache with want.

I held my breath when I felt his fingers in the waistband of my panties. We'd never been naked like this together before. We'd made out at his parent's house or at mine, but we kept our clothes on. I was also quite lucky in that he never pressured me whenever we went to parties. The idea of using someone's bedroom...waiting for some other partygoers to burst into the room...just made me shiver.

John's tongue probed into my bellybutton, making me squirm and moan. My whole body felt like it was about to explode from all the new sensations. Finally, he leaned back and pulled my panties off. He tossed them back to land on the pile of his clothes.

I blushed hotly and tried to draw my thighs together, but his hands on my knees kept me from doing so. A look of raw lust flashed across his eyes, but was quickly replace with the look of love I knew so well.

Slowly, his hands traced the path back up my thighs and he leaned closer to me.
