Recap: "Tired?" Luke asked her as they got to the house. Savannah nodded and smiled. He stopped in front of the door and opened it before bending down to place his arm behind her knees and the other around her back. He picked her up and walked her into the house, kicking the door shut behind him. "I think that's how it's supposed to work," he told her and then set her down in the kitchen. "Was that a threshold? Ah, whatever. We're here, and now we can go upstairs. He took off his hat and set it on the table as she took hers off and hung it on her hook. As she often did, she touched the picture of them and smiled again.

"Need anything?" Luke asked her as he took off his boots and left them by the door.

"Only you," she told him simply and put her hands on his chest.

"Well, then," he answered, turned out the lights in the kitchen, and swooped down to pick her up again to bring her upstairs.

Keeper of the Stars - part 4

When Luke entered the room, he set Savannah down on her feet and held her to him. "Finally," he sighed and touched her chin as he leaned down to kiss her lips softly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed herself to his body. He moaned into their kiss and squeezed her waist.

"May I?" Savannah asked as she pulled her lips off him. She put her hands on his coat and began helping him out of it. He looked so good in just the vest. She hung the coat on the back of the door and then put her hands on his vest. "I really like this look," she admired aloud and ran a finger along the edge.

"I almost took my coat off during the reception, but things just kept moving from one event to another, and I got caught up in all we were doing."

"I had read that receptions tend to do that to married couples," Savannah shared as she unbuttoned his vest. "We were in hot demand tonight. I wonder why?" She slid the vest off his shoulders and stepped over to his dresser to lay it down. Before she could move, he was standing behind her, moving her hair.

"Necklace? They were beautiful on all you ladies today," Luke complimented as he unfastened the clasp. He was refastening it and setting it down as she pulled her earrings off to set them with it. "This went really well with your dress. It really looked like it had come with the veil," he added as he took the clip out of her hair. "Everything just went really well. It's like you were meant to be a bride."

"

Your

bride," she whispered as she turned to face him again and ran her fingers through her hair. She put her hands on his tie and loosened it until it was off his neck. "I really like this look, Luke. You can dress up for me anytime."

She then pulled his shirt out of his pants and began undoing the buttons one at a time. Her fingers would occasionally touch his skin, and as he inhaled quickly, she smiled knowing the effect she was having on him. "Oh, that's the one," she whispered and touched his chest slowly as she brought her hands up to pull the shirt off his shoulders. "That's what I've been looking for. She stepped forward and put her mouth on his skin. He put his hand on the back of her head as she explored his body and then guided her to let him put his lips on hers.

As he kissed her, he put his hands on her back to find the zipper of her dress. There were a couple of buttons at the top he had to unfasten, and then the zipper began sliding down slowly under his fingers. Savannah sighed into their kiss and arched her back as he let his finger run along her spine as the zipper descended. "There it is," he whispered and smiled against her lips.

When her dress slid down her shoulders, she knew she had to step out of it, so she held his shoulders as he held the dress. When she was out of it, she was simply wearing the light blue bra and panties he'd been waiting to see all day. She watched him take the dress to the door, and as he hung it on the hanger, she realized she hadn't gone to the bathroom other than before Mass. Suddenly, that was her priority.

"Luke, I'm going to go in there really quick," she informed him and walked quickly toward the bathroom.

"I'm gonna go get some water and a couple snacks," Luke shared as she walked away from him. Savannah did her business, checked her hair, and brushed her teeth quickly before heading toward the bed. She sat against the headboard and waited. She could finally put her head back and relax. She closed her eyes and waited.

Savannah awoke to a hand on her cheek and Luke's lips on hers. She flinched until she realized what it was that was happening.

Oh!

She'd fallen asleep! She was about to pull away and apologize, but his kiss was blurring her senses. She moaned and leaned into the kiss as his hands slid up her arms and around her back. She sat forward so he could unfasten her bra. As it came off her body, she pulled her lips off him to look at him.

"Lie down, sweetheart," he whispered as she scooted down to put her head on the pillow. "Lift," he requested, and off her panties went as well. When she felt him climbing onto her, she watched his eyes. She slid her leg up his and sighed as they began to familiarize themselves with each other's naked bodies.

Luke reached down to touch her leg and brought it to him as he kissed her softly. She ran her fingers along his back and arched her back as he slid down her body to put his tongue on her breasts. She moaned as she put her hands on his head.

"That feels so good, Luke," she sighed and arched her back again as he took her whole nipple into his mouth. Her body continued to respond to his mouth on her skin. Each time she moved under him, she felt his response with his movements, sharp intakes of breath, or his moans. She loved hearing his moans.

Luke moved up her body again to put his mouth on hers, and she responded hungrily. She continued to move her legs along his and each time she felt his shaft, she became excited for what was to come. She felt that her most sensitive area was preparing as if it knew.

"Luke, I want you inside me," she whispered against his ear, and his response was exactly what she'd hoped for. He groaned in desire at her words and held her hips as he positioned himself to enter her.

Slowly, gradually, Luke touched the tip to her opening and watched her face. She nodded and moved underneath him to encourage him to keep going. Her body had been preparing (as a body does), and he slid into her smoothly. She arched her back at the amazing sensations and held his arms with her hands.

"Oh, my God, Savannah," Luke groaned and stilled his body to prepare for his next move. Savannah ran her fingers down his arms and held his hands which still held her hips. When he began to move in her, she closed her eyes to focus on what he was doing to her, where he was touching within her, and how she could deepen their connection even further.

"That's so good. Oh my God, Luke," she whispered and looked up at him. After she put her hands on his sides, he moved his hands under her body to hold her upper back. He leaned down and put his mouth on hers and continued to move inside her. They moaned together, and as she felt her sensations growing steadily, she pulled her lips from his and arched her back.

"Luke, oh God, it's so good. It's right there, I'm gonna... oh God! I'm..." As she contracted and pulsated around his shaft, it was all that was needed to put him over the edge. He came inside her with a groan and tightened his hold on her as his body finally found its release. As the shared orgasms subsided, Luke loosened his hold on her and remained on her while they caught their breath.

"Van," he sighed and rested his head next to hers on the pillow. "Oh my God, that was incredible," he declared breathlessly and kissed her shoulder. She turned her face to his and kissed his cheek. It wasn't long before they were kissing passionately, but so very slowly. He pulled himself from her as they kissed and lay on the bed next to her. She turned her body to press it to his and moaned into his mouth again as he cupped her butt to pull her closer.

As they finished their make out session, he kept his hand on her butt. She put her head on her arm and ran her other hand over his chest. They laid in silence until she finally realized how it had all started.

"I fell asleep while I waited for you, huh?" Savannah asked and looked at his face. "Was it a long time? I knew I was tired, but I didn't think closing my eyes as I was sitting up would allow it to happen so fast."

"You were asleep for about an hour," Luke told her and smiled when she looked surprised. "It wasn't a big deal. I brought a few waters up with some snacks. I ate some, drank a bottle, and then went to the bathroom before taking off my pants.

"Aw! I wanted to do that part," she complained and pouted. He smiled and leaned forward to kiss her forehead.

"Lots more opportunities for that, sweetheart," he teased. "A whole lifetime of them." He sighed dramatically and smiled again. "It wasn't until I was looking through the little gift bags of lingerie over there that I began getting restless."

She looked over at the dresser and smiled. "I assume you didn't pay attention to the tags on those bags as you looked at the bras," she teased as she ran a finger up from his chest to his neck, "and panties," she added as she ran that finger around to the back of his neck, "and thongs," she concluded as she slid her fingers through his hair.

"Nope, and I don't plan to, but some of those things are hot," Luke announced and nodded. "I'm gonna want to see

all

those."

Savannah sighed and leaned in to kiss his chest. "So, do you think it was worth the wait?"

"Oh, my God, Savannah," Luke said as he laughed. "Worth it? Definitely. Was it all that it was hyped to be? Oh, it was so much better than I thought it would be. And I have to admit I had pretty high expectations because everyone was making it out to be this huge grand thing, and 'oh! You have to wait,' but 'oh! It'll be so wonderful,' and 'oh! It's wrong if you do it beforehand,' but 'oh! It's so amazing that you'll feel connected to your wife forever.' So, I thought about all those things until it drove me crazy. Then we had tonight, and it was wonderful and amazing, and the connection was no joke, but it was

so

much better than that. Words can't explain it, Van. I don't have the right words."

"You do have words, though. Lots of them," Savannah teased and giggled when he tickled her side. "Seriously, Luke, please don't ever stop telling me how you feel. And I agree. I said that before. People have so much to say and so much to judge, but it only adds pressure. And I have to say, Ana and Andy are exceptions, of course. All that they shared was in the interest of helping us. I can't tell you how thankful I am."

"Nah, you showed me," Luke conveyed and smiled as she realized what he'd just said.

"I plan to show you many, many more times too," Savannah promised and leaned in as he pulled her closer to kiss his lips.

"We have a lifetime, sweetheart," he reminded her and stopped when she kept her distance just enough to keep her lips away from him.

"Honey? I was talking about over just the next two weeks," she whispered as she moved in again and put her lips on his. She licked his bottom lip and smiled as he closed his eyes and slightly shook his head.

"Luckiest man on earth," he declared through a whisper and then put his mouth to hers. They pressed their bodies together, and Savannah thought, with what little brain power she had to use considering she melted every time he put his mouth on her, about how blessed she was as well. "I love you, Savannah." He put his mouth back onto hers and moaned as they deepened their kiss. She was enraptured at this point. It was their wedding night. They'd just made love. They'd just talked freely about their lovemaking, and they had all night to continue making memories.

"Can we go take a shower together?" Savannah asked him as she pulled her lips from him. "It's been a day, and I was thinking maybe, you know, clean up a little?"

"Definitely," he answered and leaned in to give her tiny kisses all over her face. "I just can't get enough of this!" Savannah giggled and tried pushing him away but that only made him do it more.

When they got into the shower, they put on all the sprayers and enjoyed the hot water hitting them from every angle. Savannah held the shower bar and closed her eyes as she enjoyed Luke's hands washing her body. Savannah turned and gave the same favor back to him and paid as much attention to his manhood as he had on both her breasts and nether section.

Once they were entirely rinsed off, Luke gave her a look, and next thing they knew, his hands were all over her, and hers were wrapped around his neck and their mouths couldn't taste each other enough. But it was when he cupped her butt and lifted her up to push her against the wall that made her realize she was about to have her second sexual experience.

After they both came, Luke let her down to stand but held her up until she was steady. They continued kissing softly then and rinsed off again so that they were clean before climbing into bed to sleep. She curled up to his side just as she had the other nights in which they had slept together, only this time, they were naked, relaxed, and spent.

It was cold and dark, and Savannah knew she was in trouble. She had been shivering, and as she laid there, she was in and out of consciousness. She couldn't figure out why no one was coming to get her. And then she saw it. A coyote has found her lying there in a mess of blood. She couldn't just reason with it. Her heartbeat was speeding up, and she had no other choice but to try to speak to it. "No," she begged. "No, go away, please," she pleaded. "No, don't," she begged again.

The coyote seemed to understand, so it went away. Savannah let out a huge sigh and felt her heartbeat returning to its normal pace. She was still cold, and it was still dark. She closed her eyes and tried to will herself to a better place. She just wanted to be found, to be carried to safety, to be surrounded by love. When she opened her eyes, she was looking straight into the eyes of that same coyote that had left her before. When she went to speak to it again, it attacked. Or it would have, but she woke up.

"Savannah, wake up, honey," Luke was begging as he held her to himself. She was shaking, and her heart rate was off the charts. "Come on, Van," he pleaded. "It was a dream, sweetheart," he whispered and kept holding her. She was crying and holding him for comfort. "You're OK. You're OK. You're OK." As he continued speaking softly to her, she calmed down, and her heart rate began returning to the way it should have bene.

"What time is it?" Savannah asked him as she sniffed again. He reached back to grab a tissue to give to her.

"2:30am," Luke answered and watched her wipe her face and nose. He leaned in after she was done and kissed her forehead. She held his wrists as he held her face. He then moved on to kiss her temple, her cheeks, and then her lips. She sighed and closed her eyes as he kept whispering loving words to keep her calm. "Will you tell me what happened?"

"I was out in the dark, and it was so cold," she explained and cuddled into him more so that she didn't feel any of the ways she felt in her dream. "A coyote approached me, and I was pleading with it to leave me alone."

"You just kept saying 'no,' and your heartbeat was racing."

"Yeah, and then he went away," Savannah continued. "So, I closed my eyes and tried to will myself to the safety which I knew was close by. When I opened my eyes again, the coyote was back. I was about to speak to it, but it attacked me."

"Well, no coyotes in here, sweetheart," Luke told her and kissed her softly again. And then again. And then again. And then Savannah began feeling safe as well as a little turned on. She kissed him back and ran her fingers up to his chest where she began sliding her nails along his skin. She was going to try something new. It was her wedding night too, right? Couldn't she make a move?

She pushed him to lie on his back and straddled him. As she rubbed against his shaft, she felt it responding. Luke moaned and then put his hands on her waist. As she moved her special area over the tip of his manhood, she remained still and positioned herself to descend onto him. As soon as she felt him beginning to enter her, she knew she was going to feel different sensations. The fact that he was going up into her meant new nerves were being invigorated, stimulated, and awakened.

Luke watched her as she found her rhythm and began riding him so that they could move toward their release. His shaft was rubbing right on her g-spot, and then as she leaned toward him, her clit was stimulated as well. Inside and outside of her most private area, she was feeling all the feels, and they were moving her toward the orgasm she needed. Again.

"Van, oh, good God, that feels good," Luke moaned and moved his hands to her stomach. "I'm gonna, yeah, baby, like that, I'm gonna..." and he did, right along with her. The more she contracted around him, the harder he felt the release. "Oh, Savannah," Luke began as he put his forearm over his forehead, "you might be the death of me. You're freaking amazing." Savannah smiled and closed her eyes.

As she gradually pulled herself off him, they both grunted a little, and then she took her place next to him again. "So, I think I'm feeling better now," she confessed as she ran her finger over his chest. It was damp with sweat. She could tell her whole body was sticky with sweat as well. She had no idea that being on top took that much energy. But she enjoyed it and planned to take up that position often. It felt amazing.

"I'm glad," Luke told her and turned his head to look at her. "Did anything in particular help?"

"Well, when you began kissing me, it made me feel safer and better," she explained as she kept running her finger along his chest. "But then, the kissing started making me feel hot and turned on. And then I decided that it was my turn to make a move, so I did, and then, well, that happened."

"And that was amazing," he assured her and laid his head back onto the pillow to look up at the ceiling. "You're amazing, Van. I am just in awe about tonight. You rock my world, pretty lady," he drawled and then laughed. "Oh, that sounds horrible when I'm tired and spent."

"I disagree," Savannah countered and turned onto her side to press herself to him. "I think you always sound hot when you drawl your words. On that note, can we go take a bath? I don't have the energy to stand for another, shower and I want to relax a bit before going back to sleep."

"Bubbles?"

"Heck, yeah," Savannah replied and followed him into the bathroom. She turned to look at him as he began filling the tub. "Hey, I have questions."

"Really? Because you definitely seem to know what you're doing, my girl," he stated as he watched her standing in front of him in all her naked glory.

"Aw! Thanks," Savannah responded with a wink. "But no," she clarified as she came out of his distraction. "First, what about going to the bathroom?"
