Not edited. Gawd I love you people... I really really do! MWAH!!! Your comments... omg I can't stop laughing! I wish this app was more comment friendly for authors because I would sooooo be having a ball right now. Not using any of the good words in this because I don't want it going private though there may be an f word or two with an accent over it to avoid the autobots.

Lucas looked at Tara with a nervous expectation. This wasn't how he planned to have their first time. In a little motel on the side of the road? No, he'd planned that once Tara said she was ready he would be the romantic that she deserved. The dinner, the wine, the build up... all leading to her feeling pampered and relaxed. No. This wasn't anything like that at all.

This... this was Tara taking control for herself... and he loved it. He loved that even though she was obviously as nervous as hell she was also reaching out to him... how could he not help but fall in love with her all over again?

"Baby?"

"Yes."

"Yes?" his heart quickened.

"Yes Lucas I want..." she blushed and Lucas grinned.

"You... want?"

"I want to be with you."

"With me how? Baby I need the words from you. Do you want to go further in bed with me without going all the way? Or do you want to make love with your adorable husband?"

Tara giggled as his facial features reflected every ounce of cheekiness in him.

"I..." she drew in a deep breath and looked him directly in the eyes before speaking "I want to make love with you."

He was sure he heard angels singing and harps playing as soon as those words were out of her mouth. Hell if heaven didn't have some sort of influence in this situation then he'd cross over to the side of the devil.

He moved her backwards slowly and stood up from the bed. Her eyes never left his and he was overwhelmed by the love he saw in them. At that very moment he realised once and for all... Tara was his.

His hands took hers and slowly traced upwards on her arms to her shoulders.

"Are you sure?" he asked softly.

"Yes" she whispered while moving her hands to hold his waist.

"I love you baby" his fingers wove their way into her hair and he lowered his head to hers.

"I love you too Lucas."

His eyes sparkled as they closed and his mouth found hers. With gentleness often only found in dreams Lucas kissed her. Teasing, stroking and with complete and total longing.

Tara wrapped her arms around him. She wanted him close. She wanted to feel his body warmth down the length of her body. She wanted... to feel.

Lucas sensed Tara's almost urgent touch as her hands roamed his back and with matching desire he pulled her into his body with both arms around her and one leg behind hers. His hands moved with tenderness over her and with a smirk he let himself touch further down and squeezed her backside while fighting the urge to push and grind into her.

He jolted as Tara's hands followed the path of his own and he felt tentative squeezes on his butt. He moaned and slid his tongue into her mouth, pushing through with no resistance at all and just moments later he devoured her taste with relish and abandon. Her mouth sweet from the hot chocolate Barney had given her for warmth. Together with her own taste he savoured the combined flavours and he couldn't get enough. He wanted what she was giving and more. He needed to sample everything.
