They Came, They Saw, They Didn't Conquer

[heartofcourage]

Lilly couldn’t help the silly grin on her face as Shane went on and on about the food. It was nothing, really. She liked helping people and he seemed like a guy who just needed a few lucky breaks.

“Sainthood? I don’t know about that.” She said, laughing as she quietly ate her fill of the soup before her. “I think I’ve done too much sinning to exactly qualify.”

Through the meal she could feel his eyes upon her, taking in every feature as if he were trying to memorize everything about her. It was almost as if he had expected her to suddenly change into some kind of monster while he’d been asleep. She’d seen a lot of people suffering from all sorts of mental issues in the ER and they could say and see some pretty weird things. She had learned to never hold it against them.

When he was describing how he could help her with the building of a shed, she nodded her consent. “It was a pain in the ass to build that outhouse by myself so any help with that project is very welcome.” She said as he slowly devoured the muffin she’d made, letting out a burp and then laughing about it. “Well, I’m happy to see your table manners have remained intact.”

She ate the last bite on her plate when he stood up and offered her his hand. Taking it, she let him pull her to her feet and she turned to face him. Looking into his eyes, she felt an unfamiliar but welcome emotion rise in her throat. She was looking at someone who wanted her. He was someone that actually cared. That was worth something so much more than anything money could have bought her.

Then she felt his arm wrap around her and draw her against his warm chest. She sighed softly at the embrace, her cheek pressed against him as he held her. God, how much she’d miss the feel of someone simply holding her. He was all hard angles and muscle, a smell that was unique to Shane filling her senses. A murmured thank you had her closing her eyes, a slight smile on her face as he kissed her cheek and then let her go.

“Sleep tight.” She said as he retreated into the bedroom, knowing that it would take rest to let him fully heal. Still, the shack felt suddenly empty without him near, even though he was just in the other room.

She busied herself with clearing the dishes, cleaning them in a bucket and tossing the dirty water outside before she shut and barred the door. Taking Shane’s bag into the bedroom, she quietly placed it next to the bed where he could find it. Watching him sleep for a moment, she gently pulled the blankets further up over his shoulders, wondering when the last time he’d actually gotten a good night’s sleep had been.

Moving to a little chest in the room, she pulled out extra blankets and a pillow, tip toeing into the other room. Making a pallet on the floor, she stripped out of the clothes, she’d worn that day, carefully putting them away to be washed later. She pulled on a long sleeved t-shirt and a pair of shorts, stoking the fire to keep them both warm during the night.

Before settling down on her little bed, she moved the Mosin within her reach, propped against the wall with the safety on just in case. As safe as she felt in her little hide away, she still had those little fears that someone might come upon her and she wanted to be prepared. She turned down the oil lamps, conserving what little oil she had and slid beneath her blanket, sighing in contentment as she watched the fire burn in the little wood stove.

For the first time in a long while, Lilly fell fast asleep with a smile on her face.

 

[marauder13]

Shane drifted into wakefulness. It felt strange to be able to make the transition slowly rather than snap awake in a jolting fashion. Having a real bed to sleep in, real food in his belly, and real companionship all made it possible. He stretched as best he could before rolling himself out of bed. He slowly rotated joints and worked muscle groups to loosen them up enough to be able to move about. He even tested his shoulder. He managed the slightest movement before the pain made itself felt, which was an improvement.

He smiled when he found his bag in the room with him, rummaging through it to find another pair of jeans to put on. It was quite a struggle, and he laughed at the thought of going and asking for help from Lilly. That was not the way he wanted to show himself to her, and hopefully she was still sleeping so he didn't want to wake her. After much quiet wrestling and cursing, he was finally dressed enough to safely leave the room.

He paused at the doorway, once more resting against the door frame as he stared at Lilly. In sleep, she looked peaceful, and somewhat angelic. The smile that lingered on her face gave it a whole different shape and look. He felt his heart beat pick up a little thinking about how she looked. He closed his eyes, visualizing slipping behind her, pressing himself against her again, circling her waist with an arm. He shivered at the thought, as well as feeling the discomfort that came with a hardening member caught in the wrong space.

Shane slipped past her, going to the door. He took the bar off, opening the door quietly. When it was open enough for him to squeeze out, he stepped outside into the cool air. The door was pushed closed, and he walked to the outhouse. Once more, nature's call answered, he looked at the chicken coop.

"Eggs. May as well while I am out here." He entered the coop, and bent over to get to where the chickens were settled. He cautiously reached underneath, remembering from various stories he read, as well as a few TV shows, that that's how he would get them. None of the birds seemed to disturbed by his actions. It took a little getting used to, but by the end of his checking, he had collected half a dozen eggs. "Not a bad little haul."

He got them back into the shack, resting them on the table in a bowl, while he took a seat at the table. He was torn as to what to do; look at the treasures of Lilly's past, or look at Lilly herself. Lilly won.

He looked over the way the sheet confirmed to her shape, while lending an air of mystique to it as well. Long, lean in a healthy way, Lilly was still a woman where it counted visually. But he found himself again listing the intangible qualities that had a far greater pull. but it was her willingness to lead and to follow that seemed to pull the most. She knew when she was best to lead, take charge. She did so without doubt, and he knew that it was the right time too. He never questioned her decision to lead, nor her calls when she led. But then, she deferred to him at other times, and followed his lead without question. And it was at times when he knew what needed to do. They seemed to click in that way, as if they worked together for years before. It was a rare ability, and one mostly gained through experience. His mind took it off into rather naughty regions, applying the same strategies to other activities and wondering how good it would be.

Further thoughts were put on hold as Lilly started to stir. He was captivated by her natural grace as she moved under the covers. He had the young boy's wishful thinking that they would move, and reveal some more of the loveliness hiding underneath. He sat in silence, watching the delight unfold before him as Lilly continued to wake up.

"Morning, Sleeping Beauty. I thought of testing the truth of the fairy tale, but I'm still too busted up to see if I even qualified as a Prince Charming. Tonight, you sleep in the bed. No arguments. Also, your chickens gave you six eggs since the last raid."

He kept looking at her, hardly blinking for fear of missing something great along the way. He didn't want her to think the only think he was interested in was getting her on her back, so to speak. He wanted to do that, sure, but she was more to him than just that.

"So... what things do you do to pass the time of day normally?"

 

[heartofcourage]

Lilly could have sworn that she heard the sounds of footsteps around the shack as she lingered between that twilight of sleep and wakefulness. She briefly considered reaching for the Mosin and unlocking the safety, but then she remembered that it was probably just Shane. Just Shane. It was safe. She smiled at that as she drifted back into the darkness…

She had always been one to curl up in her sleep. It made her feel warm and cozy, a hand tucked beneath her cheek and another pressed to her lips as she slept with her knees against her chest. She’d slept that way since she was a little girl and even as an adult there was very few exceptions to that rule. It made waking up all the more delicious as she stretched from head to toe, taking in a breath full of fresh air as her muscles contracted and stretched around her bones. She moaned softly at the pleasure of it all as she moved beneath her covers, a yawn gracing her lips as the sound of Shane’s voice reached her ears.

She turned her head on the pillow and saw him watching her intently from his seat at the table. She wondered just how long he’d been there, but then she guessed it really didn’t matter. Using the sleeve of her pajamas, she wiped the sleep from her eyes as she heard him telling her that she’d be sleeping in the bed that night.

Fighting another yawn, she brushed back her mane of wild sleep tousled hair and propped herself up on an elbow. “When you can move your shoulder without wanting to pass out, then I’ll sleep in the bed. Until then, I’m just fine down here.” She said with a smile as she slipped out from beneath the sheets and stretched all over again, taking a look at the eggs that he’d gathered from the coop that morning.

“Scrambled or sunny side up?” She asked as she grabbed two out of the bowl and walked to the stove, a pan grabbed off a hook on the wall and placed on the surface as she cracked both and poured them inside. “There’s left over muffins on the shelf over there. Grab them and the preserves and set the table.” She said over her shoulder as she concentrated on the eggs, completely not conscious of the fact that she stood barefoot and in her pajamas in front of this man she’d only know for a day.

“”Well, after breakfast, I’m heating up water for a bath. You want one too? I’ll pull in an extra bucket if you do. Then maybe I’ll show you around the place. You were kind of out of it last night.”

 

[marauder13]

Entranced. That was the word that would come back to his mind whenever he thought of Lilly waking up that first morning together. The soft moan as she stretched shot straight to his groin, reminding him of moans from a different cause that sounded so, so, similar. He knew that there was nothing wrong with the thoughts, nor the reactions, but for some reason he felt that they weren't exactly appropriate.

I must have a fever.

Shane felt jealous of her fingers that pushed back her hair. He wanted to feel his fingers run through her hair massaging her scalp, guiding her head to his so he could kiss her deeply. He blinked a couple of times to help clear his head a little. By then, she was up on an elbow, giving him her evil eye. He didn't take much notice because of how the covers slipped enough to show her top, and how it sat across her chest, accentuating every curve present.

"Oh, I can move it, Doc, without passing out. Just not very far, since I don't want to bust your stitches. I've had enough of them put in to know my limitations and such. But. Tonight, you sleep in the bed." His tone suggested that there would be no further argument on that front. He was willing to allow himself back the following night, but he was damned if he was letting her sleep on the floor regularly while he healed.

He simply sat still as she slipped from under the covers to reveal that apart from the long sleeved shirt, she wore a pair of shorts. The legs he got to see stretching in the morning light were better than he imagined them to be. Not even firm muscles took away the subtle curves of her legs that seemed to go all the way into next week. He didn't care if she noticed that his eyes tracked her legs as she went about the kitchen. Something's were too good to let pass.

“Scrambled or sunny side up?”

"Huh? Oh, scrambled thanks." He pulled his gaze from her legs as she shot out suggestions or orders for him while she cooked. There he was, wearing just his jeans that were showing signs of strain in certain places, and she was in her sleep wear that was leaving little to his fertile imagination. Still, he focused on the matter at hand, getting everything ready on the table for their breakfast.

“Well, after breakfast, I’m heating up water for a bath. You want one too? I’ll pull in an extra bucket if you do. Then maybe I’ll show you around the place. You were kind of out of it last night.”

"Sounds like a plan to me." He saw her pile the eggs onto a plate, then put the pan down. He was moving before he knew what he was doing. His good hand rested on her shoulder, guiding her off to one side as he stepped forward. Without too much pressure, he pinned her to the wall, pressing his lips against hers swiftly. But when he made contact, the action switched to a much slower movement.

Shane moved his lips over Lilly's, sighing softly as he tasted her for the first time. His heart thumped strongly in his chest as he focused on catching her top lip between his,then returning to include both in the continuation. He lured, enticed, called to her wordlessly as he showed her that she was indeed worthy of more than mere words.

He pulled his mouth away from hers, opening his eyes to gaze deeply into her own. He was breathing heavy, his heart pounded but he never felt so good in along time.

"Slap me, thank me, knee me in the balls. It won't matter because God damn, that was worth doing, and definitely worth doing again." Shane started to slowly pull himself away from Lilly, to give her back her personal space.

 

[heartofcourage]

The distracted tone in his voice told Lilly that Shane was probably doing a lot more than thinking about breakfast. She smiled to herself as she scrambled his egg, leaving hers a bright and cheerful sunny side up. It had been a long time since a man had taken any interest in her the way that he was…well, discounting the freaks and pervs lurking out there.

“Order up!” She called as she moved from the stove and pushed his eggs onto his plate before she moved to hers.

Lilly heard the creak of the floor before he touched her with his warm hand. She placed the pan on the table and turned to look at him with a questioning gaze but the look on his face told her what he had on his mind. She let him back her into a wall, his body pressing against hers until she was pinned.

Tilting her chin up towards him, she gasped as his lips were suddenly upon her. She let out a soft sigh at the warm feel of his lips caressing hers for the first time. She raised a hand, pressing it against his chest as he did practically everything but steal her soul with that kiss. She could feel his heart racing beneath her finger tips and she knew that hers was doing the same. God, this was wonderful, she thought as she closed her eyes and let him take her to a place that she hadn’t been in a long time.

When he pulled away, she whimpered softly at the loss, her lips still searching for his. As she slowly opened her eyes, she could see so many different emotions going on within his. She felt flush and it was hard to catch her breath as he spoke about how worth that kiss had been. Then he started to pull away, meaning to give her back the space that he had taken away from her.

“Shane,” She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and mindful of his injury, pulled him back towards her. “Just shut up and kiss me again.”

This time she pressed herself against him, the feel of solid, warm muscle against her making her stomach do a strange flip as she closed her eyes and offered her lips to him once more.

 

[marauder13]

Two lovely arms found their way around his neck, taking due care with his wounded shoulder. He expanded his gaze to include her face, noting the delightful flush that made it glow softly. The force she applied to him, pulling him back was irresistible.

“Shane, just shut up and kiss me again.”

The way she pressed herself against him made everything else fade into nothing. He felt her heart beat as her chest closed on his. His own heart beat leapt again, along with a massive wave of heat that swept through him like a bushfire. Slowly and tenderly he found her offered lips, his eyes closing to maximize what he was about to experience. He pressed against them, then backed off just enough to break contact, as if it was an extra slow motion bounce. He smiled, his warm breath washing over her lips. His tongue peeked out enough for the tip to paint the end of her cupid's bow, before retreating. His lips returned to hers, embracing them totally to a backdrop of a soft, drawn out moan of pleasure. The soft smack of lips parting, soft sighs and moans all told Lilly a tale of how the 'city boy' was feeling about the 'country girl'.

Down low, his body was clearly displaying other reactions against Lilly's body, but Shane ignored it. He didn't grind it against her, but he didn't pull it away. It was there, she would notice it or not. He didn't care. He was in a little piece of bliss in the arms of a woman he had met less than 24 hours earlier. He was thanking her, amongst other things, because without her he wouldn't be there to share the wonders with her.

He finally broke off the kiss, his lips tingling, slightly lighted headed as he rested his forehead against hers. He took a few shuddered breaths, only once wincing at the pain from his shoulder.

"I think... we need to have our breakfast. Before it goes cold. Then... we can figure out what those plans were again." He pulled his gaze up to her eyes. He was trying hard to retain enough control to keep things exactly where they were. As much as he wanted more, and wanted to give her more, his body was not up to the task. "Does that sound good to you?"

 

[heartofcourage]

The wonderful press of his lips against hers for the second time drew a soft sigh from her lungs as he tenderly showed her how thankful he was. When she felt his tongue gently tracing her lip, she parted them, welcoming him to do more but he simply retreated and continued the soft caress that was making her dizzy. She moaned at the soft pressure, the wicked feel of warmth pooling in her stomach as she pressed further against him.

She felt his arousal between them, the hard length of him pressed against her belly. It was hot and welcoming, but he didn’t take advantage of the situation. Part of Lilly wished that he would, but it was too soon. They had only known each other for a day. It was best not to move too fast.

When he broke off the kiss, she whimpered at the loss, her lips still searching for his until he rested his forehead against hers and she finally dared to open her eyes. His were warm, staring down at her with an expression that was familiar and welcoming all the same. She wanted him so bad but she couldn’t find the words to tell him. She was sure that he knew that. She didn’t need to say anything.

She didn’t trust her voice to respond to his question so she simply nodded, knowing that he was right. It was wrong of her to expect something more then he could give in that moment. He was still recovering. She could wait for him. She’d waited all those months, well years if she was honest with herself, she could wait a little while longer.

Lilly untangled her arms from his neck, wrapping arm his chest in a firm embrace as she pressed her ear just above his heart. The steady thud was soothing, disturbingly so. It had been so long since she’d found someone that was alive, someone that actually cared. She held him tight, sighing as she listened to his heart for a while longer before she found the strength to let him go.

“I guess I better feed you, city boy, before you’re completely useless to me.” She tried to make light of everything, a smile upon her was as she moved to take her seat, her mind a million miles away as she picked at the breakfast before her. It wasn’t what she was hungry for.

 

[marauder13]

Her arms went from around his neck to around his chest, with her head resting against his chest. He wrapped his left arm wound her, holding her gently. She felt lovely and warm against him, and the smell of her hair was delicious. It wasn't clean, he would tell. But it was her, mostly her and a touch of city foundations.

His stomach was doing funny things, from her or lack of food he was uncertain, but it did feel kinda good. He was happy to hold her for as long as she desired to stay there. He wanted so strongly to remove her clothes, dump her on her bed, and take her to heaven and back as many times as he could before passing out from bliss.

Her sigh warned him that she was about to let go, and he simply let his arm follow her as she moved away. His fingers ran over her back, tracing paths down to her hip. The curves of her back were marvelous to feel through the fabric of her shirt. Every contour was locked away in his memory so he could savour it again at night while he waited for sleep to claim him. He wanted to feel her buttocks, check that they were as toned as they looked, and felt just as great in his hands. But he relented to common courtesy, and saved it for another time.

“I guess I better feed you, city boy, before you’re completely useless to me.”

"Completely useless?" He laughed as he moved to the table. "So, I'm useless to some degree, am I? Once I have got my belly to shut up, I will have to show you I am not as useless as you think I am, country gal." His smile was broad and he had a playful twinkle in his eye. While Lilly played with her food, Shane set about eating his in the shortest time frame possible without spilling anything.

He took his plate and cutlery off the table, and place them in the sink. He took Lilly's plate and cutlery and found a flat surface to put them down safely. He then took her by the back of her neck in a light, but firm, grip, lifting her to her feet, and turning her around. He guided her back onto the table, lying her out across the surface. He shifted his hand to place in on her chest, just below her throat, pinning her down as best he could. He quickly dropped his head to her chest, his mouth descending over one of her nipples that tented the fabric. His teeth gently teased the solid point of flesh through the cloth; pinching, grazing and tugging, all the while his eyes were directed at her face, reading her reactions, taking guidance from her.

"I may not be able to give you everything you need, Lilly, but I can do quite a lot safely." He found the bottom edge of her shirt, nosing it up until he found bare flesh underneath. He laid a small collection of hot, wet kisses on her belly, even going as far as running his tongue around her navel, before retreating once more to the barrier that were her shorts. He kissed her there, slowly, blasting her with heated air between kisses.

"I can do more, Lilly, but I wont ruin your clothing to do it."

 

[heartofcourage]

The feel of the solid wood table beneath her as Shane lay her back on the surface was certainly a surprise, but a welcome one as Lilly found herself staring up at him with his hand pinning her to the table. She dared to moan at the contact, a surge of wetness coating between her thighs as he looked at her with an equally hungry look.

“Shane…” Was all she could murmur as his head dipped down at his mouth took a hard nipple into his mouth through the fabric of her shirt.

She gasped hotly at the sensation, squirming against him as his teeth teased her beyond comprehension. She closed her eyes, wallowing in the pleasure of that simple action, her teeth worrying her bottom lip as she struggled with what was happening. She definitely needed more of that wonderful sensation.

Then he was talking, his breath hot over the fabric that covered her still as he nuzzled against her belly, pushing her shirt until it lifted and his skin touched hers. Whimpering as his nose tickled against her, she gasped again as she felt his wet lips kissing her hot flesh. His tongue teased her belly button, a searing kiss placed against her skin just before her shorts. God, she wanted so much more but reason was returning and Lilly found herself dragging her fingers through his hair, pulling him from his position.

She sat up on the table, her chest rising and falling with rapid breaths as she stared at his features, taking in the same want that she had in her own. She kissed him again, her tongue seeking entrance into his mouth this time, running across the seam of his lips until she was granted what she wanted. She let him know then what she was feeling, what she wanted, as she dueled with his tongue, the passion making her feel flush and feverish.

As she broke the kiss, she pressed her forehead against his, staring into his eyes for a long moment before she felt the embarrassing sensation of tears upon her lashes. Oh, God, Lilly, don’t start weeping like a child now.

“Shane, I…” Her voice cracked thickly as she struggled to tell him what she wanted. “I want you so bad it hurts, but I’m scared. I don’t want you to leave after everything is said and done. I’ve been so long alone.”

He would think she was silly, childish, but she couldn’t help the irrational fear of rejection from clouding her mind. She did want him. She wanted him to do so many wicked things to her, but she also wanted more that he might not be able to give her. Not to mention what they were about to do was incredibly foolish. He was still injured, no matter that he claimed he could take it, and they had no protection. It definitely put a damper on what should have been a very joyous occasion.

 

[marauder13]

Shane moaned softly as Lilly's fingers raked through his hair. He felt his head being pulled back, away from her skin. He groaned in disappointment until it was cut off by by her enthusiastic kiss. Her tongue danced along the crevice formed between his lips, causing them to part and allow it passage into his mouth. He chased her tongue with his own, enjoying the erotic game of oral tag while kissing. Her kiss brought him to the same place as his kiss of her. Her kiss spoke to him of her passion for him.

The kiss ended exactly the same way as their last one, heads resting against each others foreheads, each of them staring into the eyes of the other. Shane noticed that her eyes were shining from extra wetness, tears starting to form on her lashes.

“Shane, I… I want you so bad it hurts, but I’m scared. I don’t want you to leave after everything is said and done. I’ve been so long alone.”

He brought up his hand caressing her cheek with the tips of his fingers. He could feel the heat of her flushed cheek, which felt soothing to his touch.

"Shhhhh. What makes you think that I will be leaving? Do you think I have had a great social life wandering that hellhole alone? I want you badly too. But you told me to show you, prove to you. Now, Lilly, get that shirt of yours off, remain sitting or lie down, which ever you choose, and I'll show you how much I feel."

 

[heartofcourage]

When he touched her cheek, Lilly knew that he was right. He wasn’t going to leave her that easily. It made her smile slightly at his admission and then he said that he wanted to show her how he felt. She let out a soft gasp at that part, her breath quivering from her lungs as he looked at her with such heat.

“Shane…” She said his name softly as she kissed him again, his tongue winning the duel this time and she welcomed him into her own mouth.

Lilly was quick to peel her shirt over her head, her hands shaking as she sat topless before him for a moment. She was nervous. What would he think? She’d had much better days, but her body wasn’t bad. Her breasts were smallish, a little less than a handful, but they were topped with wonderfully sensitive pink nipples that were on point that morning.

She placed the shirt on the floor and slowly leaned back, reclining on the table as he’d originally had her. She looked up at him with complete trust and a fire that matched the own in his gaze. She wanted to run her hands across her smooth skin, but she stopped herself. This was for him to explore, she said and she tried to wait for him as patiently as she could.

“I’m sure you’ve seen better.” She said, her acid wit trying to make light of the situation as he continued to simply stare at her. “I mean they’re not exactly the most impressive pair in the world.”

Lilly, shut up! It was her turn to babble like an idiot in front of him and her mind was screaming at her to stop.

 

[marauder13]

Her face lit up moments before his name escaped from her lovely smile. He went with the kiss, wanting it as much as she did, letting himself go and enjoy it as he desired. He took the time to explore her mouth slightly, shivering with delight as he kept her at bay that time.

He pulled back enough to allow Lilly to remove her shirt without ensnaring it on him. He looked at her face until the shirt was gone form her grasp, before letting his gaze drop to the first of her treasures that she revealed. He suspected in the days before, she would have been a little fuller, but there was nothing wrong with what he saw. Nice curves lifted from her chest, coming to plateau around twin peaks of very prominent, hard flesh calling for attention.

He smiled warmly as she laid herself down on the table again. Like the rest of her, her breasts were firm, and defied gravity gloriously as she lay down. He wondered how she felt about being so exposed to him, but cast it aside. Lilly was a strong woman, bold to do what she felt was needed when needed. He knew she wanted this, so she would not be too scared, or anxious. He, on the other hand, was concerned about messing things up with her. He felt he had more to loose from making a bad mistake.

“I’m sure you’ve seen better. I mean they’re not exactly the most impressive pair in the world.”

Shane's eyesbrows shot up as high as they could go. "Not impressive? Oh, they are quite impressive, Lilly, mainly due to their location. But even then, there is nothing wrong with them at all." His voice dropped to a breathy whisper, "nothing wrong with them at all."

His left hand caressed the top of her head as he lowered himself across her body to kiss the breast furthest from him. He sighed and moaned his way about her breast, leaving a trail of hot, wet kisses all over. Her smell was overwhelming desirable. A natural combination of personal scent and a light touch of sweat that mixed together just right. He felt the warmth of her skin, the beat of her heart from the firm flesh under the flawless skin. As he reached the pinnacle, his teeth slid along her skin as well, grazing the puckered outer ring and dancing along the ridges. His teeth caught the nipple, closing softly about it, teasing the length of it as he released it. He let his breath waft over it for a moment, before his tongue came out to dance about the hard point. Another moan escaped him as he tasted her again. The feel of the hardness against his tongue was generating a hardness in him that was starting to hurt because of the confinement.

"Don't you ever fucking belittle yourself again, Lilly. Never." His voice echoed off her breast bones as he shifted to the other breast, lavishing it with the same level of attention his did to the first. There was no rush. There was no haste. There was the gentle enjoyment of a gift freely given and respected by the receiver.

But the kisses didn't end there. Shane moved up Lilly's body. Kisses trailed over her chest onto her throat, where he paused and almost bit her a few times, leaving the faintest marks on her skin where his teeth grazed her. He moved up just under her ear, across her cheek until he found her mouth again.

He claimed her through the kiss. Not a rough, demanding kiss, but one that declared that he was going to do that, and more, for a long time to come. That he would be the one for her.

"Trust me, Lilly. Those shorts are coming off, and I will give you something you truly deserve. Something that I am more than capable of giving you with my busted shoulder. If you don't loose them, I'll get them off you somehow, even if it means using my teeth." He took her bottom lip between his teeth in a firm bite, slowly working her tender flesh between them until he let it free.

 

[heartofcourage]

Lilly didn’t miss the appreciative look in Shane’s eyes as he gazed down at her body. Her cheeks and neck flushed red in slight embarrassment as he murmured to her that her breasts were quite impressive. Of course, she wasn’t a naïve woman, but certainly not as experienced as most. Never had a man like Shane looked at her naked breasts with such reverence before. It made a warm flush course through her body and she sighed when he first touched her.

The first touch of his warm lips against her breast had her gasping, her body flinching at the unfamiliar feeling. She let her hand rise, tracing her fingers through his short hair as he teased her skin. The scrape of his teeth across her nipple had her fingers tightening along his scalp, a hot whimper escaping her lips as he teased the hard bud before releasing it. She thought she was in heaven until his wet tongue teased her sensitive nub and she let out a low moan, her eyes closing as his hot breath traveled across her bare skin.

He nuzzled between her breasts, telling her to never belittle herself again. “Please, Shane.” She whimpered as he continued his sensual torture of her other breast.

His kisses were addicting, the feel of his teeth intoxicating and sending her into another realm. She was squirming against the hard surface of the table as she felt his lips upon her throat. She moaned in hot pleasure as he nipped at her soft flesh, his breath feathering across her ear and her cheek until he claimed her lips again.

She was putty in his hands, completely compliant and lost in a sexual haze as his lips did delightfully wicked things to her. She let out a sharp gasp as his teeth bit her lip, working the tender flesh until it was swollen and red before releasing it. She found herself following him as he pulled away, whimpering as he mentioned her shorts.

She slipped her fingers beneath the band of her shorts, slipping them over her hips as he watched her intently. She was suddenly shy, wanting him to like that he saw very much. Her pussy was topped by trimmed dark hair, her thighs squeezing together to hide her wet, pink folds from his view.

“It’s been a while.” She said softly, her fingers tracing over the muscles in his arm, her eyes searching his for the same arousal that she felt. “Be gentle.”

 

[marauder13]

He kept his eyes on hers, sensing her removal of her shorts. He couldn't quite make out her expression, but he didn't care too much because it was not one that was tell him to stop for any valid reasons. He was impressed beyond words at the trust she was showing in him. He was going to demonstrate that her trust was well placed, for many reasons.

“It’s been a while. Be gentle.”

His skin tingled on his arm as her fingers danced along his limb. His eyes narrowed in a fluttering motion, moaning and shivering slightly at the touch. He swallowed in a loud, controlled way, before giving her a short, tender kiss.

"I know. Been a while for me too. I'll be as gentle as you want."

He moved down the other end of the table, stepping slowly. He wanted to draw out the moment for a long as he could. He would see her naked for the first time, and it was something not to be rushed. His gaze finally passed where her shorts had been, following the still toned flesh until he caught site of the dark hair that announced her most intimate of places. He grinned at the tight closure of her legs.

"Hmm..." He spread his fingers, placing them just above the downy patch. He drew his fingers through her hair, then down the crevice between her legs until he reached her knees. He firmly guided her right leg away, then the left, exposing her slightly. "It's fine to feel a little shy, Lilly. But no need to be embarrassed."

Shane knelt down, slowly kissing his way up Lilly's right leg along her inner thigh. It didn't take long for him to catch the heady scent on Lilly's arousal, and as he closed to the source, he got his first taste of it on her thigh. He let his tongue softly rasp over her skin, lapping up the juice that added extra deliciousness to her leg. He sighed before moving up further, pausing only when he ran out of leg.

"There is nothing for you to be concerned about, Lilly. Everything about you is wonderful." He forced himself to give her more affection via her other leg, and not rush what he was doing. He wanted to make this memorable for the right reasons. When he ran out of leg, his lips continued and brushed her other lips, softly and tenderly.

He started at the lowest end of her wet slit, the tip of his tongue parting the soft, heated flesh a fraction as it traveled from end to end. He repeated it a few times before pushing his tongue deeper, running it along the bottom of the sexual valley and finding her most sensitive place. He pushed his mouth around her clit, his tongue gently flicking it, touching it. Between those moments, he sucked softly, pulling it and the nearly flesh into his mouth and letting it go. Shane listened to her, felt her body's reactions. He explored her, experimented to find what worked well for her, what she liked, what she adored, what she needed like air in her lungs.

He never thought about giving so much to a woman before. He enjoyed a partner who was involved, having fun, giving as well as receiving. But Lilly was the first woman he had every been with where he was focused on her enjoyment. He aroused her, then let her relax, aroused her, let her relax; always moving her closer to her personal heaven. He was getting aroused by it nearly as much as she was. He was getting huge enjoyment from how she moved, cried out, reacted.

"Please, Lilly, let yourself cum. Let me give that to you." He returned to kiss, lick, suck, nip and love her until she finally reached her much deserved peak.

 

[heartofcourage]

The way that Shane stared at her naked body made a warm rush of desire course through he veins. She was spread out before him like the most exotic of meals and he was a man that hadn’t eaten in days. It made her shiver with the heady thought that she was making him so aroused that he would do anything for her.

Lilly smiled as she felt his fingers caress the soft patch of hair that topped her thighs, her legs drawing together a little tighter to create delicious friction on her wet flesh. She felt the soft trail of his fingers over her legs and then a firm grip on her knees as he gently pulled her legs apart, exposing her wet, pink lips.

The kiss to her ankle had her sighing, her hands tracing faint lines across her own belly as he nipped and kissed his way down her flesh. As he drew close to her inner thigh, a hot moan escaped her lips as he traced his tongue across the sensitive flesh. This was certainly a man who had done this a time or two, she thought to herself as he began the same slow treatment of the other leg.

She was squirming by the time he finally reached her pussy, the tip of his tongue tracing a wild pattern across her opening that had her raising her hips towards him, offering him everything that he wanted. She traced her fingers up her belly to her breasts, rolling and pulling the pink tips between her fingers as she felt his lips close over her clit.

“Shane!” She yelped at the contact, her hips leaving the hard surface of the table as he flicked it with his tongue, sucking softly on it before he let her go. She moaned deep in her throat, her legs drawing up to rest over his shoulders, thighs falling to each side to offer him more.

She loved the way he grazed his teeth over her sensitive flesh and the sounds that he made as he pleasured her. It made her hotter than she’d ever been when he moaned at the simple taste of her. Then he grew truly wicked.

Lilly was beside herself the first time he retreated, that wicked tongue tracing patterns against her thigh as her swollen flesh begged for his attention. Then he was back, attacking her once more with a vengeance that had her crying out at the intense pleasure of it all. Then he would retreat yet again and she would whimper at the loss, her hips trying to follow his lips to finish the job. When he returned a second time, she removed one hand from her breast, her fingers sliding through his hair and pushing him firmly against the clit that he was now nipping with his teeth.

She head him tell her to cum, begging her to release her pleasure for him. She could feel her muscles tighten, her thighs shaking on either side of his head. She shook her head from side to side as her fingers pull on one nipple, giving her enough to send her over the edge.

No, it was too much! Her mind was panicked and feverish as he trapped her clit once more between his lips and sucked on it until she released a wild, keening crying. Tears trickled from her eyes at the beauty of it all. She also felt a little bit of fear and uncertainty at the fact that for the first time since the invasion, she was giving all the power to someone else. He was someone that she could trust, but that was a hard thought for Lilly. Really, she didn’t mind as long as he kept doing such wonderful things to her body.

“Shane!” She cried out his name as she shuddered. She came hard, the air leaving her lungs as she bucked against him, her fingers curling against his hair as she shivered and cried out once more. “Shane!” His name was a sob on her lips, full of the passion that he’d ignited in her and as her pussy clenched and pulled at that wicked tongue of his, her eyes rolled back in her head and she was forced to ride out the waves of pleasure until they left nothing but a tremor behind.

 

[marauder13]

Seeing her writhing in pleasure at what he was doing for her was the best thing he had seen in ages. Her sounds merged with his to form a music that was heavenly. She bucked, undulated, trembled in very delicious ways that made him extremely happy she was enjoying as greatly as she was.

But when her climax hit, Shane did nothing but let her ride it out. His mouth remained pressed against her, but the truly sensitive spots were left alone. The way she glowed from the flushed, sweat coated skin made her body look ravishing in the morning light. Her breasts looked almost edible as they rose and feel with each deep breath she took.

He lifted his face from her, looking down on the beautiful sight before him, drinking it in like a man dying of thirst. He slowly walked over to beside her head, slowly dragging a chair over. He sat down, his hand going to her hair, soothing it away from her hot forehead.

"See, there are things I can do that won't damage my shoulder, that clearly demonstrate I think you are worthy of getting to know in the biblical sense, and then some. You are damn fine inspiration for me to get healthy fully, with a strong option on quickly too. But I'm not wanting to fall apart on you in the middle of something important like that, so I'll be nice and healthy before going onto anything more vigorous."

He used his hand to turn Lilly's head to face him, allowing him to give her another kiss. He forgot that his mouth was soaked with her arousal, but all he wanted was to feel her lips against his again.

"I did notice that your bed is big enough for two, if they're happy to be friendly. Would you like to join me there, and cuddle up to me? I think I can handle that, just for you."

 

[heartofcourage]

Lilly was in a wonderful haze, her body flush with arousal. Her muscles were still quivering as she felt Shane give her a final swipe with his tongue and then stand from his spot. She was panting, trying to regain her breath when she heard the chair beside her head scrape out from the table and the feel of a warm hand soothing her hair away from her face.

His fingers were gently as they turned her gaze towards him and she gave him a pleased and lazy smile. She was absolutely spent, her body feel heavy and content in that moment. His word were nice, but Lilly felt as if she needed to return the favor to him.

“But you didn’t…” Her words were cut off by his kiss, the sweet taste of her own arousal on his lips.

She moaned into his lips, her hand raising to press against his chest as she lost herself again in the heady feeling of his kiss. The offer of a cuddle in bed was certainly nice and she found herself nodding, wanting nothing more than to crawl beneath her sheets and sleep for ages.

She sat up on the table, taking his hand and letting him lead her into the other room. She slipped beneath the sheets, turning to look at him as he slipped in beside her. She pressed her naked body against him, her head resting on his good shoulder as she listened to the steady thud of his heart beneath his warm flesh.

“Shane, are you sure you don’t want me to…you know…return the favor?” She asked, her dark eyes rising to look at him. She would have done that gladly for him that moment after the wonderful things he’d done to her on her kitchen table. “I don’t mind.” Her voice was soft as she traced her fingers over his chest in a light pattern.

 

[marauder13]

Seeing Lilly naked was not something he would tire of quickly. Seeing Lilly full stop was something he was looking forward to occurring for a long time. He had a great sense of satisfaction seeing the way she had difficulty just getting vertical after his efforts. Nothing better than a woman who was well pleased by him. It felt wonderful having his lips against her body, loving her so simply. He did wonder how much of it was driven by loneliness, denial and a slew of other silly reasons, rather than a deep natural attraction to a person that ticked so many boxes.

He felt slightly turned on by the thought of having her lying with him, pressing her body against his while they both relaxed after there time at the table. He was rather horny, and if he was less sensible than he was, he would have continued working her pussy with a different part of him until they were both sated.

As Lilly slipped into the bed, Shane took the time to manually readjust himself so he wasn't so damned uncomfortable within the jeans. It wasn't until after he did it that he realized that Lilly saw him do it all. A slight touch of colour touched his face, but the thought of what that would mean to Lilly crossed his mind, which made him smile in a slightly naughty manner.

Sliding in beside her provoked a slight jab of pain, and an associated hiss. But all of that started to fade when her warm, firm body started to press against him. He kicked himself for not taking off his jeans, but then they did make it harder for him to do something stupid. Carnally blissful, but extremely stupid in his current state.

“Shane, are you sure you don’t want me to…you know…return the favor?”

She looked up at him, and he could see she was more than willing to do as she asked. He felt his will crumble at the through of the lips he felt against his own doing wickedly wonderful things to his cock. He stiffened further, which added more discomfort to his current list of unpleasantness.

“I don’t mind.” Her finger left a trail of goose bumps and burning skin across his chest. He was breathing heavily, loosing himself in the glorious sensations she was giving him between her body, fingertips and verbalized desires.

'It's not like I'll be pounding her, or even moving that much. If she wants to, who am I to turn her down. It'll be fucking fantastic.'

Shane's eyes closed as tremors rocked his body. The prospect of her returning the favour was enough to make his bones start to melt in anticipation.

"No. I'd love to say yes, but I can't risk it right now. I saw what I did you you, as in the end effect. If something like that happened to me, I could bust stitches or break something important inside that's in fully working order. I still haven't made up for the blood I've lost, and getting that kinds of high... Lord knows what it could do.

"Save it for when I'm a little more robust. I think another day or two will be fine. Until then, I'll just have to play with you." His hand slid down her back, until his fingers and palm grazed one cheek of her ass, giving it a firm squeeze while his middle finger desperately strained to tickle her damp pussy.

 

[heartofcourage]

Lilly gave him a small smile as he turned her down, her fingers still tracing light patterns over his warm skin. She had no doubt that in a day or two he’d exhausted her beyond all comprehension. She gave him a naughty smile at the thought. Oh yes, that would be incredibly worth the wait.

She knew that he wanted her. She could feel the hard ridge of his cock straining against his jeans as she cuddled against him. She knew it was probably painful and the man had the patience of a saint! She nuzzled her nose against his neck before she felt his hand gliding down her back and over her ass.

She let out a gasp as she felt his fingers squeeze her bottom, his finger tracing delightful patterns against her pussy. She pushed back against his hand, her lips brushing against his ear in encouragement. She let her teeth rake across the sensitive flesh of his earlobe, her fingers tracing over a beaded nipple on his chest. She gave it a pinch, her fingers pressing firmly over the hard flesh.

“I can play with you too, you know.” She bent her head and traced her tongue around the nipple, her teeth raking over it as she gave it the same treatment he’d given her.

Her teeth caught the tip and she flicked her tongue back and forth over it, her breath blowing cool air across the surface when she let go. She looked up at him with a wide smile, taking in the his expression with satisfaction.

“Shane, this isn’t about loneliness. Well, okay, part of it might be, but I want you to know that I really do feel something for you.” She leaned forward and traced her lips across his chin, the stubble there rubbing against her in a delightful way. “I’m not sure just what that is at the moment, but I think it might be something pretty amazing.”

She stopped and looked down at him, her dark eyes searching his for some sign that maybe he felt the same way about her. Well, he had shown her his appreciation in a pretty amazing way and he definitely had a healthy respect for her body, but she was still unsure.

“It’s nice to have you here.” She rested her head back down on his shoulder, her arm wrapping around his chest and holding him tight. “It’s nice to hold someone again. It gives me hope.”

 

[marauder13]

Just lying with someone in a peaceful place, being able to relax was a luxury beyond description. When that someone was female, naked, beautiful, passionate and strong to name just a few of the lengthy list of endearing qualities, it became something amazingly wickedly erotic.

Shane felt the press of her nose and face into his neck, almost sparking a turtle reaction in him. But instead, a deep groan of pleasure rumbled its way out. He couldn't think of words at that moment. He was too relaxed. His own arousal during his pleasing Lilly had taxed his body more than he first thought.

Her nuzzling of his neck tickled him slightly, bringing out a yelped laugh that was drowned out by the deep timbred sounds of enjoyment. Soon, she was teasing him with lips, tongue, teeth and fingers as she played with his body. The tensions that had fled his body returned, this time much better tensions in more agreeable places.

“I can play with you too, you know.”

"Mhmmmm." The only coherent sound he was capable of as he fought powerful desires he knew he couldn't withstand. He couldn't quite figure out what she wa sdoing to him, but he wanted her to keep going, doing whatever the hell she wanted. He was unable to stop her, unwilling. His deepest, primal needs grabbed hold of him, and urged him onward to to claim whatever Lilly was going to give him.

“Shane, this isn’t about loneliness. Well, okay, part of it might be, but I want you to know that I really do feel something for you.”

Words. From Lilly. He held onto them, so he could understand them when he got control of his brain again. More bliss washed over him from the touch of her lips on his skin. He was beyond caring about what it would do, he wanted her, more of her, anything of her. Everything from her.

“I’m not sure just what that is at the moment, but I think it might be something pretty amazing.”

Whatever she was doing to overload his nervous system ceased. Shane whimpered at the loss of the glorious font of sensations his body had become addicted to. He held onto the feelings within him for as long as he could, letting them sift through his fingers as he reluctantly returned to earth.

"Oh, I know there is loneliness in the mix, Lilly. I would be lying if I said there wasn't. But from the moment I felt your hands against me, I knew you were different, special. By the time we reached the cache, I so wanted to know you better. After the time with you on the table, I don't want to leave you." He paused to take some much needed deep breaths. "As you are, you are fucking sexy, Lilly. I would really like to have seen you before they came. You would have been so incredibly hotter then. But it is what's in you. You're generous, kind, giving. You have a strength and courage that really lights a fire in me. You know when to take charge, when to follow, and you keep your head in times of trouble. I hate screamers with a passion. You know, first sign of something wrong, they're all in a panic, bellowing their lungs out. So not you."

Shane kissed Lilly's crown, his lips lingering on her hair. "But there is something here worth exploring. I was thinking of hanging around until I got better, then staying to pay you back for what you've done before moving on. I think the moving on part is getting pushed back a little. OK, by a lot. I might not show it to you like how I did earlier, all the time, but I will show you that you are someone special to me as often as I can, in lots of different ways.

"I think we can both use some rest."

 

[heartofcourage]

Lilly smiled at Shane’s words, his warm body under her cheek sating her as she cuddled against him. He felt the same way that she did. That was incredibly reassuring knowing that she wouldn’t wake and find him gone one day. He was there for a while, long enough to see what might develop between the two of them.

“I think I might change your mind about screamers.” She said with a cheeky grin, hiding her blushing face against his chest as she felt the lips pressing against her crown.

She had never been someone that had been particularly aggressive about sex, but with Shane, she felt comfortable to joke and explore. She knew that he would do the same with her and along the way they would each find out what the other liked.

Lilly yawned, her lips stretching wide as she pressed herself further against him. He had done wonderful things to her already that morning and she felt at ease, lazy enough to stay abed for the rest of the day.

“You could start with flowers.” She said in a sleepy voice when he mentioned about proving to her that she was special to him in different ways. “If you can find some chocolate, you’d really be in my good graces.”

She pressed her cheek further against his chest, her warm breath blowing across his hot skin as she felt herself drifting off to sleep. She didn’t normally sleep during the day but with Shane she felt safe enough to indulge herself in the simple activity.

“You could stay forever, you know. I wouldn’t mind…”

Lilly’s voice trailed off as she fell asleep in his arms, perfectly content with her life in that single moment. It was truly heaven and she never wanted it to end.

 

[marauder13]

Shane listened to Lilly list ways he could demonstrate his affection in an every increasingly sleepy voice. He said nothing, letting her drift off, relaxed and content against him. Having her nestled beside him felt comfortable and somehow right. Her presence soothed him, and he soon joined her in the blissful realm of sleep.


Their first day together, after waking, was one of confusion and fun. Most Shane trying to learn where everything was, and adapting to Lilly's way of doing things. Plus, to be fair, Shane was sure that Lilly was having to adapt to having him around. The planned bath and seeing the local sights never eventuated with them playing catchup with the chores missed by sleeping. That night, Shane took mercy on Lilly, exploring her with his fingers only, and keeping them away from known 'trouble spots'.

Shane kept his mind open, learning all he could about what happened at Lilly's place. he helped out as best he could, or hung back and observed. During their spare time, she showed him around the local area. He was not too comfortable in a rural environment, but it would be something he would learn about over time.

After dinner, and before they slept, they would spend time together kissing, caressing and generally getting frustrated by Shane's wound. Lilly kept a professional eye on it, and Shane continued to test it and push the boundaries of the range of mobility. Each day, a little less pain, and a little more movement, all of it being within acceptable bounds from the Doctor of the community.

Four days of good food, rest and excellent company had got Shane to a point where he was no longer feeling the effects of the blood loss. Once breakfast was done, and everything was cleaned away, Shane spun Lilly around, wrapping his good arm around her waist, pulling her into a very expressive, passionate and lively kiss. He didn't limit himself to her lips, ranging over her cheek and onto her throat where he left a few choice nips in places he was sure would be well received.

He brought his head back, gave her one last noisy kiss then pulled back to look at her. "You know that favour you wanted to return. Well, I feel that I can take it when ever you are ready willing and able. Of course, I may need to remind you about why you wanted to return the favour." He gave her a rather cheeky grin.

 

[heartofcourage]

The past few days been absolutely wonderful for Lilly. It was amazing to have another person around that could take on some of the load of work. She showed Shane everything about the little farm that he needed to know. He took to it without complaint, even though she knew his shoulder was bothering him every so often. She took care pains to not give him more then he could handle, checking him every night to make sure that stitches weren’t pulled or infection hadn’t set in. So far they had both been incredibly lucky.

She especially liked their walks through the woods surrounding them where she would show him the outlying areas. She would hold his hand and she could almost pretend that nothing in the past had ever happened, despite the pack that she wore and the gun slung over her shoulder. She showed him the directions that she knew others lived in, pointing out the areas that he would need to commit to memory should anything ever happen.

She cooked for him every night, trying to find a thousand different ways to make vegetables and the occasional chicken appetizing. So far, there were no complaints. Lilly could tell her was getting healthier by the way his pallor changed. He was no longer gaunt and hollow in the face, his skin no longer pasty. Even she had noticed changes in herself, a softness on her curves where only hard muscle had been before. He had most definitely been good for her.

The things she enjoyed the most were their evenings. He would kiss her and caress her body until she was left panting and frustrated when he would stop. She knew they were both frustrated with his shoulder, wanting nothing more for the thing to heal so they could truly do what they wanted. It made her press all that more tightly against him when they slept in her little bed. If he didn’t know how much she wanted him by the tight little nipples poking into his side or her wet flesh pressed into his thigh, she didn’t know how else to say it.

That morning was a cool morning outside. Lilly had just finished preparing breakfast for the two of them, their same eggs and muffins with a few fresh berries she’d found the day before on their walk. Again, he devoured everything without complaint and it made her smile. She was clearing away the plates after they were done when she felt Shane’s arm snake around her waist and spin her into his chest.

She gasped, her hands resting against his chest as he kissed her like a man starving. She moaned, her head tilting towards his for more of that contact. She loved the way that he kissed her. It was dominating, gentle, and incredibly exciting. Then his lips were kissing over her cheeks, down onto her throat. She moaned as she felt his lips caress the spot under her ear that made her shiver. She was even louder when the wicked man nipped the juncture of her neck and her shoulder.

Then his lips returned to hers, their warm and wet pressure making her open her lips to his, her tongue searching for his as she pressed her aroused body against him. When he pulled away, she was panting, her eyes opening to look at him through a haze of sexual arousal. He was telling her that he was ready for her to return the favor. Oh, she very much wanted that. He wanted to remind her? Oh, she very much wanted that too.

“Go lie on the bed. I’ll be in there in a moment.” She leaned her lips close to his ear. “I have a surprise for you.” She said before she kissed his neck and let him go, a smile of her own crossing her features.

 

[marauder13]

There was something deeply exciting about seeing Lilly when she was in the mood to be playful. Shane knew that she was almost simmering every day, and that the slightest show of affection was prone to getting her rather aroused. Secretly, Shane got a big kick out of it. It wasn't everyday that a sexy woman like Lilly got that turned on by him.

After his kiss, and letting her know about what he wanted, the look on her face was pure gold. The sparkle in her eye was an ever welcome sight, along with the twin peaks letting themselves be known too.

“Go lie on the bed. I’ll be in there in a moment.” Her voice sounded like pure lust. His body couldn't agree more. But then, she closed the gap between them, the two hardened points teasing him as he felt her breath against his ear.

“I have a surprise for you.” The light touch of her lips on his neck made him shiver all over, leaving a wake of goosebumps all over his body. He let loose a whistled sigh as he took a step back, his eyes locked on the smile blooming on her face.

"O... Kay. I'll just... be in there. Waiting." He nodded slowly as he backed his way into the bedroom. He turned to face the bed, his eyes widening for a moment at the implications of what was about to happen. Mostly one handed, he undid his jeans, shucking them off quickly, then sliding naked into the bed. He felt immediate relief from his freed member that was rapidly straightening in preparation.

"No need to be nervous, Shane." His voice was a whisper as he nervously glanced at the door. "I'm sure she's seen more than one of those before, and none of the other ladies were scared, shocked or driven to laugh when they saw it for the first time. Nothing wrong with it. Decent size, length and you've got a fair idea of how to get the most from it too. Well, going by the reactions of previous recipients."

He closed his eyes, forcing himself to breath deeply and relax. He used old exercises that allowed him to remain still for long periods of time to remove the bad tension creeping into his body. Focusing on one part of his body, he stretched and relaxed muscles until they loosened properly. He kept it up until he was aware of Lilly's arrival in the room. He smiled slowly, before cracking his eyes open in the hope of seeing what the surprise was.

 

[heartofcourage]

Lilly didn’t really know was possessed her to keep something so frivolous in her life after the invasion, but it was in this single moment that she was happy that she had. She listened for the sounds of the bed springs before she went over to her laundry bag, digging through it to pull out the piece of lingerie she’d stashed in the bottom. With Shane more mobile by the day, she had remembered she had it and wanted to save it for a special occasion.

She took off her clothing, placing it in the bag before she shimmied into the black silk slip. It hugged her curves like a glove, her nipples poking into the fabric in such an deliciously obscene way that it made her shiver at the mere thought of what was getting ready to happen. She tugged on the short hem, which barely managed to cover anything.

God, I hope he likes this, she thought to herself as she combed out her hair quickly, leaving it loose around her shoulders before she took a deep breath and entered the other room.

He was waiting for her in bed, his erection evident under the covers as he lay sprawled beneath them. She saw his smile slowly cross his face, an eye opening to look at her. She stood in the doorway, smiling at him as she stroke a what she thought was a sexy pose.

“Well, you still haven’t come through with the chocolate that I was promised, but I thought maybe I could tempt you with this.” She said, motioning to slinky silk slip as she ran her hands over her curves.

“I might not be your dream girl, but I figured I could come pretty close.” She made her way to the bed and kneeled on it, looking down at him with the hope that he at least found her pleasing. She already knew that he loved her body and she knew that as soon as she ripped that sheet away, she’d fall in love with his. She was just itching for that moment.
