Author's Note:
This is the fourth part in the second series about the Nickels family. I believe many of you have come to love Joe, Ame, Bekah, Dave, Nancy, Bob, and Nana. (Who doesn't love Nana?!) You know the drill... my stories are STORIES, so many details make for fun, exciting, and interesting plot lines. And there's a lot of overlap from Bekah's story, but from Joe's POV. "Oh,
that's
why..." is what I'm going for. Questions and comments are welcome. Please take the time to rate this story also. I hope everyone will be kind.
Recap:
"I'll be back in a week, alright?" Ame told her little brother and hugged him. "Text me if you need me, and I'll get back to you eventually. I'm not going to be looking at my phone much. Kinda like when I was in San Diego."
"Got it, Ame," Eddie assured her. "Go have fun. I'll be fine."
"Yeah, you will," Dave told him as he walked up to stand behind Eddie and put his hands on his shoulders. "We're meeting up this week while Bekah's at work. We've got this, Joe. Go have a great time."
Dreams: Joe 04
As they drove back to their suite, Joe held Ame's hand and smiled as they headed toward their special place to finally do what they'd been waiting to do for what felt like forever. Joe parked in the back of the house, asked her to wait for him to come around the car to get her, and then opened her door to help her out. He wanted to introduce her to the sunroom first, particularly to see her reaction. It was already dark and unbelievably clear. He literally couldn't have asked for a better night.
"I have something for you," Joe informed her and led her to the sunroom. "It's my wedding gift to you," he explained. When they entered the room, Ame gasped as she saw the telescope with the royal blue bow on it.
"Joe! Oh, my gosh! How'd you know? Oh, it's beautiful!"
"I heard you loved astronomy and once borrowed the school's telescope to look at the stars," Joe shared and smiled as she touched the knobs and looked up at the skylight to see what she'd be looking at up in the sky. "Since we can look at the stars from the warmth of this room, I thought it would be something you'd enjoy."
"I am going to enjoy it!" Ame exclaimed. "Oh, Joe! Thank you so much! I love it. I love you!"
Joe cupped Ame's cheek and held her waist as he gazed upon her. "I want to make you so happy," he whispered. "I love you so much."
Ame slid her hand behind Joe's head and gently pulled on him to bring his lips to hers. She slid her hands down his coat and lifted it up off his shoulders to remove it. When she slowed their kisses, Ame stepped away from him to place the coat on the loveseat. Before she could turn around, Joe walked over to move her hair from the back of her neck. The design of the dress complimented her whole body, and the lace showed just enough of her skin to excite him. Joe put his lips on her ear and kissed her softly.
"Joe, what would you say if we made love under the stars?" Ame whispered and turned to face him.
"Definitely something I had thought about for this week," he admitted and slid his hands down her arms as he continued kissing her jawline toward her other ear.
"Will you make love with me now?" she asked and began unbuttoning his vest. "I want for us to undress each other and make love right here. Would that be OK?"
Joe hadn't ever imagined having his first time anywhere other than on a bed. The idea was exhilarating. The opportunity had presented itself just like Dave had told him it would. It would be a memory they could cherish forever. "Yes, my love," Joe answered and kissed her softly as she continued unbuttoning his shirt once his vest had been removed. As he stood shirtless before her, he finally got a chance to undress her. He put his hands on her waist and turned her around so that he could unfasten her dress. He'd noticed the few buttons at the top, so he began there. Thankfully, there were only three, and then the rest was to be undone by way of a zipper. He slid it down slowly, stopping now and again to kiss her back as it became exposed. "I see a few back rubs in your near future."
When her dress was completely unzipped, Joe reached for her sleeves to pull them off her arms first. As he pulled the final sleeve down her arm, he slid the dress down her body. Joe took her hand to steady her as she stepped out of the dress.
"Oh, good God, Ame," Joe sighed as he set his sights on her garter. It held up her thigh-high nylons, and for the first time that day, Joe finally stopped worrying about becoming aroused by the gorgeous woman in his arms in front of family and friends. No one was here, and he felt himself growing in excitement. "This is hot."
"I had a feeling you'd like it," Ame told him and smiled down at him as he kissed her legs where the clips had been attached to the nylons. He pulled them off her before reaching up to take off her garter.
Before he could do more, she motioned with her finger for him to stand back up. "My turn," she announced and put her hands on his belt.
Joe moaned as she let her fingers glide along his stomach as she unfastened his belt and then his pants. She held them as he stepped out of them and stood before her ready to make their way to the makeshift bed he'd created. He was so glad he'd made that bed the day before. So glad.
