Chapter 2


Brian stepped out of the bathroom in his bathrobe after a long hot shower. Rachel was laying on the couch watching TV with Tyke laying by her side.
Brian smiled at the sight. "Aww how cute," he exclaimed as he sat down on the bed.
Rachel looked over at him. "Who me or the dog?" "Well, Tyke's got that innocent pup thing going on for him. Of course I meant you what did you think I was talking about?" Brian said as he tossed a pillow at Rachel.
"Hey thanks," Rachel said as she tucked the pillow under her head and continued watching TV.
"Baby why don't you come over here and cuddle with me?" Brian said as he patted the bed. "It's kinda lonely over here."
Rachel grinned but didn't take her eyes off the TV. "Not now I'm busy."
"Too busy for me?"
"Yup," she said, still grinning.
"Oh I see how you are," Brian said as he got off the bed and walked over towards her. He leaned over and began to kiss her neck. "Come on baby. Let's go to bed."
Rachel melted in his arms and arched her neck back as he continued to kiss it. "Mmm I like that," she murmured.
Brian continued to trail his tongue up her neck as he reached for remote in her hand. Carefully he grabbed it and clicked the TV off. Without losing rhythm he slowly moved his lips up to hers. Rachel wrapped her arms around his neck and slipped her tongue into his mouth. Brian rubbed his hand down her leg, and carefully lifted her up and laid her down on the bed. Brian stopped for a moment and stared into her deep blue eyes. Teasing her with his lips he slid his hands up her shirt and rested them on her waist. Rachel lifted her hand up to his face giving him sweet soft kisses on the lips. Gradually Brian moved down her neck to her shoulder blades. He pulled down the strap of her light blue tank top and kissed her shoulder down to the tip of her cleavage. His hands wandered up her shirt and began caressing her breasts while moving back up to her lips.
"Brian...." Rachel said breathlessly. "Brian...oh god...we can't."
"We can't what?" Brian murmured as he began to unbutton her top.
"We...have to stop. It's too soon," she said as she tried to wiggle out from underneath him. Brian continued to unbutton her shirt when he felt Rachel slap his hand away. "Brian stop!"
Brian sat up and stared at her for a moment. "I'm sorry," he said quietly. "I didn't mean to."
Rachel buttoned her shirt back up. "It's okay, you just got caught up in the moment. I just think we need to slow down a little."
Brian nodded. "You're right. I'm sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry about."
"You're not mad?"
Rachel shook her head and kissed him on the lips. "You stopped when I asked you to. That's all that matters."
"Good because I wouldn't want to force--"
"I know you wouldn't. Don't worry about it. Let's just go to bed it's late anyway."
"Okay," Brian said as he got into the bed. He wrapped his arms around Rachel's waist. "Good night," he whispered.
Rachel kissed him on the cheek. "Good night," she said then laid in his arms breathing in the faint scent of his bath soap.
Brian kissed her gently on the cheek. "I love you baby. If you want to wait, then we'll wait. You're well worth it to me and I could never hurt you or force you into anything you didn't want to do. I know you know that. Besides you cuddling close to my heart is better."
Rachel smiled. "As long as I'm in your arms everything will be all right. No one else in this world could ever replace you," she said then rolled over facing him. "I love you Bri bear," she whispered as she caressed his cheek and kissed the tip of his nose. Brian smiled and close his eyes. Rachel played with the small curls in his hair. They were still slightly damp from his shower. Gosh he's so gorgeous. How did I ever end up with him?
She let out a sigh. I'm in love! I'm actually in love with him! Only this time I'm not dreaming. She thought to herself. With that thought in her mind, she rolled back over and laid her head on his chest and fell asleep.
