Chapter Seventeen

Chapter Seventeen

Sally waited nervously in her room and wondered why she felt so nervous. She had made love with Thomas before, but this time it felt different. She guessed it was because he had surprised her last time and this time she was just sitting here and waiting. It made her impatient to know he was coming but be unsure of when.

It was dark outside her window but Sally had the kerosene lamp burning low to illuminate some of the darkness in her room. It cast shadows over the walls as she sat there and looked out the window, waiting on her ranger... or ex-ranger.

She didn't have to wait long once the house became still. He slipped around the house and through her window as silently as a ghost and he didn't even give her time to rise from the bed before he was pushing her down on it, covering her body with his and devouring her mouth with his hungry lips.

"Thomas...." she gasped as he pulled back long enough to remove his shirt.

"We'll talk later, Sally. Right now I got more important things to do with my mouth." As if to prove his point, he lowered his mouth to her neck and his fingers quickly slipped under her nightdress and danced across the bare curves of her body.

Sally buried her hands in his hair and pulled his mouth back up to hers. Their shadows danced across the room as they finished undressing one another and Sally pushed Thomas down on the bed and crouched over him.

His eyes feasted over her flawless body. She was perfection. Every curve, every freckle, every single inch of her body was all he had ever wanted.. The only thing he would ever need.

When she pressed her lips to his chest he thought for sure his heart would pound right out of his ribs. Her hands moved down and gripped his arousal, squeezing and pumping until Thomas feared he would find his release right in her had. Thomas grabbed her by her shoulders to stop her and tossed her onto the bed.

Sally gasped with pleasure and surprise when his mouth instantly went to her breasts. She clung to him, fighting back her moans and gasps of pleasure as he teased and licked her swollen nipples. Sally was thankful that he covered her mouth with his to mask her cry of pleasure as he slid himself inside of her. She surrendered to the pleasure. She stopped thinking and only felt. Her man had come back to her. He was here and he was loving her and she was going to enjoy it.

She felt the pleasure mounting as his kisses continued to devour her mouth and neck. Her arms and legs were wrapped tight around him as she clung to him and as she felt the tight band of pleasure within her snap at her release. Thomas stiffened and she knew he was feeling his own release as he moaned her name again and again in the cool night air.

Thomas collapsed on the bed beside her and pulled her into his arms. Gone was the urge to run that he had felt the first time they had made love. The only urge he had now was the urge to stay. The urge to wrap his arms around her, pull her close and never let her go.

Sally practically purred with contentment as she stretched in a feline like way and curled herself against him. Thomas kissed her hair as he smiled. She was the damnedest woman he'd ever met.

"That was even better the second time around," she whispered, her voice sounding very sleepy and content.

Thomas pulled the covers over them and squeezed her tight in agreement. This was his woman. The one made for him. He remembered telling Liz once that when he found a woman to love him he had wanted her to love him the way Elizabeth loved Brody and he had no doubts in his mind that Sally loved him that much. She would have to in order to put up with the way he had been acting and treating her.
