Water Signs: A Story of Love and Renewal - Page 162/169

* * *

As the sultry sounds of their favorite music mingled with the glowing

illuminations of burning candles and the enticing scent of fresh roses, Ken

and Madeline were swept away in a powerful tide of lust and longing. Yet

even as their bodies passionately sought the satisfaction that could only be

found in each other's arms, neither one could dismiss the miracle of this

eagerly anticipated moment-the welcome fruition of their individual

spiritual journeys.

"I'd say this song is appropriate," Maddy whispered in his ear as

Vanessa Williams' Save the Best for Lastbegan to play. He'd been slowly

savoring every inch of her, kissing and licking his way down from her

forehead to her lips to her neck, while Maddy caressed his chest and

shoulders.

Pausing to look her deeply in the eye, he promised "You haven't seen

anything yet, sweetheart."

"Kenny, please remember what we talked about before," she

reminded softly. "If it doesn't happen, if I don't have one, please know

that I am completely happy just being this close to you. Nothing else

matters."

"I know, baby. I know. But I won't stop until you're totally fulfilled."

His words were a firm and sexy promise.

"But I am right now," she protested. "I'm just remembering that night

in your townhouse when I sang this song to you. Do you remember?"

"Of course I do sweetheart. You had the voice of an angel." His blue

eyes twinkled at her.

"I like to think I still do," she commented.

"Madeline," he whispered, placing his fingers on her lips. "I think it's

about time we both stopped talking. We can discuss an encore

performance later."

With that, he turned his attention back to her sexy body, gently

moving his hands over her breasts and taking delight in her nipples'

immediate reaction. Then he lovingly placed one in his mouth, slowly

licking it, while his hand caressed the other.

She smiled as she sank her head into her plush pillow, running her

fingers through his wavy blond hair as electric currents rushed through

her body in response to his touch. Everything he did awakened dormant

sensations that had long ago drifted away with their Jersey Shore romance.

Ken took pleasure in her muted sighs as he continually assured her of her

desirability. It was still hard to fathom that Madeline saw herself as

anything less than beautiful, even now. He supposed that some stubborn

habits die hard, though he couldn't get enough of her.

Maddy felt her effect on him against her thigh, as he moved further

down to her waist, teasing her with his tongue as he went. Playfully, he

slipped his thumbs beneath the lace of the final garment standing between

him and the very special part of her that defined her femininity. Though

he could barely contain his intense longing as he gently separated her legs,

he paused to look at her face. And while he noticed the smoldering

excitement in her expression, the gentleman in him was compelled to

inquire about her wellbeing.

"You ok, sweetheart?" His deep, masculine voice reverberated in her

ear. Consumed by her own internal fires, all Maddy could do was nod in

affirmation.

"I love you so much, Madeline," he reminded her. "I want to make

you the happiest woman in the world."

"Kenny, you already do," she murmured, stroking his forehead. "But

I would love it if you'd keep going," she added teasingly.

"You sure?" He didn't know exactly why he'd repeated the question.

"Kenny, this isn't 1992 anymore," she quipped. "I've grown up in

more ways than one. I've waited for this-for you-forever. I've dreamed

about what it would be like to be with you so many times. I don't want to

waste another second. Please-don't stop now."

"Madeline, I've dreamed about you, too. Holding you, loving you,

making you scream with pleasure-"

"Ken! Who's talking too much now?" She chuckled softly as she slid

her hands over his shoulders. He smiled at her in the semi-darkness.

"Ok, then my love, you asked for it," he teased, before turning his

attention back to her lace panties. He sat back on his legs, and then

reaching for the waistband, slowly removed them from her body.
