Disclaimers in part 1
"AJ, your hands are great," she
murmured as she rolled back over to her side after he finished.
"I enjoy touching you Sarah, but I won’t
ever do anything you don’t want me to do."
"I know, AJ. I trust you. Your turn now.
Lie down." She sat up and tried to reach across his shoulders but found
that her reach wasn’t long enough. So she surprised him by straddling his back
and slid up his back to reach his shoulders. She started on his shoulders and
worked her way up his neck to the base of his skull.
"Who taught you how to give neck
rubs?"
"No one, just feels right."
"Yes, it does," he mumbled. She
massaged his scalp then she worked her way down his back until the T-shirt
hampered her. Bravely, she reached down and ran her hands under his shirt to
feel his skin. When she touched his bare skin he jumped. Then he leaned back on
one elbow and reached behind his head and grabbing the neck of his shirt he
pulled it over his head. She looked at his skin and saw the scars on his back.
She gently traced the scars as he quietly explained how he got each one before
continuing the massage. They both could feel that this was going to escalate
into something more than a simple massage. She gradually worked her way down
his back stopping only when she reached his belt. Not wanting to stop touching
him but still a bit unsure of herself and not knowing how to continue she
hesitated. He turned to look at her, she smiled and reached her hand out to his
cheek, and he smiled back. Taking her hand in his he brought it to his lips and
started to gently kiss her fingertips. She reveled in the feel of his mouth
gently kissing then nibbling on her fingers. Before she knew what was happening
he rolled over and held her in place by putting his hands lightly on her knees.
They looked into each other’s eyes not breaking eye contact.
"Sarah," he started.
"Shhh. I’ve wanted to touch you like
this for a long time." She placed her hands on his chest and began to run
her hands through his chest hair.
"Me too. My God, I’ve wanted you for so
long. I know you have dealt with some rotten men in your life, and I just want
you to learn to trust me and know that I won’t hurt you." She saw the
truth in his eyes. She smiled softly at him to let him know she believed him.
"I know you won’t hurt me, AJ and I do
trust you."
Several hours passed before Sarah woke up.
She was still curled up on top of him. Suddenly shy she tried to roll off but
he held her tight. "Sarah, don’t go any where."
"AJ. I didn’t know you were awake."
He looked into her eyes. "Sarah, how
could I have gotten so lucky to find you?" She just kissed him in
response. He rolled them over on to their side and continued the kiss. When
they recovered their composure, she asked, "What do you mean when you said
you let me be in control and that it was you turn?"
"I felt like you needed to be the one in
control, setting the pace. I’ve never done that before though but I didn’t want
to push anything with you. I wanted you to know that if you wanted to stop or
slow things down, you could."
"What do you mean you’ve never done that
before?"
"Sarah, I’ve always been in control in
my life, be it in the service or in my bed. I’ve always been the one in
control. Of course, if a woman even said no or stop, I would. But I’ve never
had any desire to give up total control in my bed before you."
"Why did you think I’m different?"
"Because even though you are a tough as
nails Marine, and no matter how much you try to hide it, I can still see the
vulnerable side of you. And that made me realize that you need to be in control
sometimes. Besides, I’ve never felt quite like this about anyone before."
"It was kind of nice having you at my
mercy," she said with a smile. "And knowing that I have such power
over you, a strong powerful man, is rather good for my ego."
"I love you, Sarah," he whispered.
"That’s even better for my ego." She
smiled. "I love you, too, AJ."
