Love and Dreams-Faberry

Chapter Nineteen

Rachel pushed the door open to the bedroom and stepped inside, smiling when she took in the appearance of the room. Quinn was lying in the middle of the bed, still fully dressed and on top of the blankets. Her hair was splayed out behind her like a golden halo and her eyes were closed.

She had taken the time to light every available candle in the room before Rachel returned, casting them both in a soft glow that made Quinn look even more beautiful to Rachel than she'd ever seen her.

Quinn's eyes opened when she heard the door close and her face broke out into a soft, loving smile when she caught sight of the other girl. "Hi." Her voice was soft, barely rippling the quiet of the room that was only punctuated otherwise by quiet music playing from the CD player across the room.

Rachel smiled, crossing the room slowly. She stopped at the edge of the bed, leaning over and placing her hands on either side of the blonde, crawling up her body slowly, dropping gentle kisses as she went until her weight was settled on Quinn comfortably.

She propped herself up on her elbow and gazed at the girl beneath her, brushing a few strands of blonde hair from Quinn's face, smiling when hazel eyes closed the instant her fingertips grazed her face.

Quinn slipped an arm around Rachel, her fingers sneaking up under Rachel's sweater and idly stroking her back.

"Your fingers are cold," Rachel whispered.

"You'll warm me up," Quinn whispered back. She grasped the hem of Rachel's sweater and began nudging it up her girlfriend's frame until Rachel sat up enough to remove it.

Quinn's fingers splayed against Rachel's chest, her fingertips idly stroking the brunette's collarbone. Her eyes opened and she smiled up at the girl hovering above her. "You're so beautiful."

Rachel pulled back slightly and found herself completely overwhelmed with a swell of love as she gazed down at Quinn who was watching her with the most heartbreakingly beautiful smile she'd ever seen.

"I love you so much."

Quinn smiled reached out and wrapped slender fingers around her girlfriend's wrist gently, tugging her down again. She pulled Rachel in for a slow kiss, wrapping her fingers in dark locks to keep her close. She didn't want anything about this night to be rushed. She wanted every moment seared in her brain for the rest of her life.

Rachel's hand found the hem of Quinn's sweater and she slid it up the blonde's torso slowly, her fingers dancing over the exposed skin the sweater left in its wake, making Quinn giggle as fingers found ticklish spots on her belly. She sat up long enough to pull the sweater over her head and with Rachel's help she discarded her jeans as well.

Quinn suddenly flipped them over, reversing their positions and her lips found Rachel's pulse point, dropping slow steady kisses there. Her right hand found Rachel's left and she laced their fingers, smiling as she felt the engagement ring between her fingers and as foreign as it felt, it felt so right on Rachel's hand.

Quinn felt Rachel smile into the kiss as well and she knew they were on the same page. She reached behind Rachel with her other hand and popped the clasp on her bra, feeling it loosen around the brunette's body and she tugged at it with one hand as her lips sought soft skin on Rachel's chest. She felt Rachel making quick work of her bra and once it was out of the way she pulled the other girl impossibly close to her, breathing her in and loving how close she was to the person that meant the entire world to her.

Rachel was suddenly clutching onto her tightly and the energy in the room suddenly shifted. Quinn slid a thigh between her girlfriend's and Rachel reacted instantly, rocking against her leg as their lips crashed together. Quinn tugged on Rachel's jeans and they separated for a few frustrating seconds to both remove the rest of their clothes and they both moaned when their bodies collided once again. Hands were suddenly everywhere, lips seeking skin wherever possible.
