Love Born in Florence

To those willing to forgive

------[]----[]------

I was back at school, and Paige and I talked almost every night. She also texted me during class, and often made me laugh.

Hi, babe! I love you.

Remember what it was like to enter me?

Is this the cute boy who made love to me in Vienna?

Think about me kissing you.

I'm lying in bed. Naked.

Damn. I sat uncomfortably through a few classes.

------[]----[]------

I got through finals and drove home. The next day, Paige arrived.

We hugged and kissed in the airport. And in the car. And in the driveway.

"I'm so happy to be in your arms again."

"I'm happy not to face your tormenting texts during class anymore."

"I was having fun."

"I love you, Paige."

"I love you."

I got Paige settled into her room at my parents' home. They were thrilled to see her again and took us to dinner the next night.

"Thanks for letting me stay with you this summer. It means so much to me to be closer to Logan. He's probably told you, but I was accepted at the law school at UW after they received my transfer credits from Georgetown."

"It's too bad you lost a year of time," said Mom.

"True, but there was a silver lining. I learned how much I love your son."

"What are your plans for the summer?"

"Logan has that clerk position with a law firm here, so I contacted them and asked whether I could work as a clerk, even if it was unpaid. I was open about my relationship with Logan, and it took some talking back and forth, but they agreed to hire me, and pay me, for 20 hours a week. I'll be working Tuesday and Wednesday, plus four hours on Thursday."

"That sounds perfect. You two will have time to spend together on weekends as well. I know I speak for Roger in telling you how happy we are to have you here and get to know you better."

"Elaine, if there is anything I can do around the house to help out, please ask me."

------[]----[]------

The next couple of weeks we settled into our work, and then we got a surprise. Paige had been assigned to assist two attorneys in the firm, and one of them had a large liability defense case to prepare for. He asked the firm to hire Paige full time because he was so pleased with her work.

We both loved the change, because we got to have lunch together. Now and then, Paige would pop into my office and kiss me, It didn't work the other way around, because she was working in an open space with two other clerks.

I had not pressed the issue of sex with Paige. I wasn't sure how ready she was to have that again, and I felt awkward in my parents' home.

One day Paige asked Mom to help her learn how to cook. They started preparing dinners together, and Paige began collecting recipes.

Paige and I talked about a weekend trip to Northern Idaho and we found a beautiful cabin near Lake Pend Oreille that was $120 per night. It was up in the mountains, 20 minutes from the lake. We knew we could bring food and have breakfasts and lunches there and then eat out for dinner.

"I want to pay for this."

"Why?"

"Because I'm living free in your parents' home and because I owe you for the hurt I caused."

I held her in my arms and kissed her. "I'll accept your first reason, but not your second. You never need to talk about it again. It's in the past. Let's leave it there."

She put her head on my shoulder and cried.

"Thanks for being so forgiving."

"Thanks for being so beautiful, and for having the courage to find your way back to me."

Our trip was three weeks away. We planned what food we would take and arranged to leave work at noon that Friday. The closer we got, the more excited we got. I figured it was an unspoken understanding we would make love again, for the first time since Vienna, almost two years earlier.

We left home about 1 pm and arrived about 3 pm. We discovered from the guest information the cabin sits on 27 acres and there was a trail to a small lake a little over two miles away. There was no one around us.

Once we got the car unloaded, we sat on the sofa together. Paige turned and lay in my arms, facing me, with her feet on the sofa. We kissed for several minutes.

"I'd like to make love to you tonight. It's been a long time since that night in Vienna. Are you ready for that?"

"Logan, if you hadn't asked I might have exploded tonight."

"Let's drive back to Clark Fork and have dinner. Then we can come have a wonderful time."

There was a bar & grill, as well as a pizza joint. We decided to try out the bar & grill. I had a huge burger and fries, and Paige had a salad, plus some of my fries.

When we got back to the cabin it was about 6. I looked into her eyes and we kissed.

"Logan, I'm hungry for you, and I've been dreaming about this for months. I know it's early, but I want to make love. I have something sexy I just bought, so I'll go get ready. I'd like you naked in bed."

I closed the curtains and shut off the lights and was waiting in bed when Paige walked into the bedroom. She was beautiful, wearing a black bra and thong. Once in the bed, she turned to me and we kissed. There was genuine hunger in her kisses.

She reached down and held me, stroking me, although I was already almost painfully hard. I was moaning as she kissed her way down my body and took me in her mouth.

"I won't last long. It's been a long time."

"Good. Then cum for me first."

She focused on the tip, kissing and licking as I squirmed at the intense pleasure. It wasn't long before I warned her I was there, and when I exploded, she held me in her mouth. Her eyes were closed as each throb pushed more cum into her.

When the throbbing stopped, she swallowed and nestled against me, her head on my shoulder.

"I've wanted to do that for a long time."

We kissed, and I kissed her neck and her collarbone, and licked the tops of her breasts. Her eyes were closed and she was smiling.

I unfastened her bra and pulled it free so I could look at her breasts again. I kissed each nipple repeatedly and then sucked on one.

She gasped and held my head, wanting more. I moved to her other nipple and held it between my lips as my tongue thrashed it.

A cry this time.

I kissed my way down her body, kissing her ribs as she quivered, then her navel, and down a crease between her leg and pelvis. The soft flesh of her inner thigh was a treat I had only enjoyed once, so I spent time licking and kissing, slowly approaching her center of pleasure.

I held her lips open and kissed them and the beautiful flesh within. As I licked, she moaned and shuddered, holding my head again, not wanting it to move away.

Eventually, I pushed my tongue inside her and she tensed up as an orgasm took over. She was groaning as the pleasure overcame her.

My tongue gently licked her clit for a couple of minutes. Then I sucked on it and fingered her, and she cried out in ecstasy as another orgasm crested and washed over her.

I couldn't wait longer. I positioned myself at her love tunnel and slid slowly and deeply inside her. As she cried out, she wrapped her legs around me, wrapping me in her embrace, urging me deeper into her.

"Oh, baby! I've missed this."

I began thrusting, mixing deep and shallow thrusts. With each deep impact, she moaned.

Faster now, her hands and legs pulling my body, demanding more.

The wave crested for me and I exploded inside her. She cried out, probably another orgasm. I pushed and pulsed inside her. Despite the recent blowjob, there seemed to be no end to my cum.

As my throbbing slowed and stopped, I was lying on her, and she continued holding me with arms and legs. I looked up and she was crying--and smiling at me.

"Why are you crying?"

"Because of how much I love you. That was even better than Vienna."

"Wait here."

I ran to the bathroom and got a damp washcloth and used it to clean her and mop up the cum running out of her.

"Do you have any idea how kind you are to me?"

"I just want you to feel how much I love you."

We kissed and within a few minutes our passion built again. I was caressing a breast and she stroked me back to attention, then pushed me on my back and mounted me.

She descended slowly down my pole, her mouth open as she allowed my invasion.

When our pubes ground together, we both groaned. She sat up and started grinding with her pelvis, forcing my cock to thrust in and out.

After a few minutes, she leaned forward and placed her hands on my chest. I played with a nipple, twisting it and pulling it gently. She was rolling her pelvis more aggressively, until she came again and froze in place, her eyes closed and mouth open.

I rolled us over and raised her legs to my shoulders and pummeled her until I came again as well, adding more cum for me to clean.

We lay like that after I released her legs.

"May I sleep like this, on top of you and inside you?"

"Please. It feels so nice... Can I ask a question?"

"I think in this position, you could extract state secrets."

"Have you had sex with anyone since Vienna?"

"No. I never got serious enough about anyone. I kissed a couple of girls, but I never got to the point of wanting sex. Actually, it was more than that. When I thought of sex, I thought of you, Since I was trying to forget you, sex had no appeal, if that makes any sense."

"It does. I thought of you every time. I knew I had to find my way back to you. I know you say I don't need to say anything more about it, but I'm so sorry for the pain I caused both of us."

"I know you are. I hope you know I've forgiven you completely."

"I do. I wondered about that until tonight. Why haven't we made love before tonight? Was it because we're living at your parents' home?"

"That's part of it, but mostly it's because I didn't want you to feel I was forcing myself on you in any way."

"One of the first things I noticed about you in Florence was your kindness. It amazes me. I knew then I wanted to marry someone like you."

I slipped out of her, so I rolled to the side and put my arm around her. She turned toward me and put her arm across me.

"I love it when we lie together naked like this. Your skin feels nice against me."

"I'd like to sleep with you this way all the time. Maybe just a panty, but other wise all skin."

"Paige, can we talk about our feelings about marriage?"

"Are you proposing?"

"Not yet, but we've had an abnormal kind of history, even though we've known each other for more than two years. I know I want to marry you. Do you feel the same way?"

"Logan, at the risk of taking away any suspense, yes, I want to marry you."

"The reason I'm asking is I know of a great apartment near campus--a guy I know who just graduated--and he and his wife are moving August 1st. His parents own the apartment, so I asked him to give me a week to get back to him.

"What if we got married this summer sometime and moved into that apartment sometime in August? That seems to me to be a better option than renting separate places. That sounds like I'm making this more of an economic decision, but that's not what I mean."

"No, I get it. If we're thinking of marriage anyway, why not jump on the apartment? Is it a one bedroom apartment?"

"It is. I forgot to say it's furnished, including a washer/dryer combo."

"You've been in it?"

"Yeah, we studied together for a class. I loved the apartment."

"I like the idea."

"Ok, that helps to know. I think tomorrow we should have breakfast and then hike to that nearby lake. It's probably not worth swimming, because it's snow melt and still early in the summer, but we can try if you want."

"I think I'll put on my suit under my outer clothing, just in case."

It was still only about 8, so we decided to throw on some clothes and sat on the sofa. It turned out we had wi-fi, so we could stream on my Netflix account. We made some popcorn and laughed our way through Wayne's World.

When the movie ended, I asked Paige whether she had read

One-L.

"I've heard people talk about it. Isn't it about a first year in law school?

"Scott Turow wrote it---his first book----as a fictionalized account of his first year at Harvard Law. I brought my copy if you want to read it."

"If there's time between sleeping, kissing and sex, I'd like to read it.

It was about 10 when we went to sleep in our favorite position. My arm around her and her arm across me. Snuggling together. Skin on skin.

------[]----[]------

Paige wakened me by licking one of my nipples and then sucking on it.

I returned the favor and the mess we made landed us in the shower where, by some near miracle, we got clean without more sex.

The hike to the lake was short, only about 2 miles, but well worth it. It was a small lake, so we decided to walk around it. It was one of those areas where you want to be alert to wildlife, and we saw some deer and in the distance, a big moose. We made plenty of noise so we wouldn't surprise a bear.

Halfway around, we sat on a fallen log and ate some snacks we had brought. I stood, but told Paige to remain sitting. I knelt in front of her and she started crying.

"Paige Stewart, from almost the day I met you, I knew you were special, and I wanted to marry you when the time was right. I love you with all my heart. Will you marry me?"

I held out a ring I had bought the week before.

She didn't speak, but held out her hand and I put the ring on her finger. She stood and hugged me. Then we kissed.

"Of course I'll marry you, but we have to plan now, because school starts in about nine weeks."

"As soon as we get home tomorrow, we need to tell my parents. However, tonight let's go out to dinner. Do you feel like Thai, Mexican, or Indian?"

"I love Indian food. Is there an Indian restaurant in Clark Fork""

"No but there's one in Sandpoint, about 40 minutes away."

Our dinner there was excellent, That, together with our engagement, naturally led to an evening of sex. Paige wore a burgundy bra and G-string set, with matching stockings. I was hard within minutes and told her to get on her hands and knees.

She obediently waited as I kissed her back and her thighs, which made her tremble, then I held her open and kissed her pussy as she moaned. She was drenched from her own fluids before I entered her and bottomed out deep inside her.

She wailed at my penetration. I was worried about her reaction until her next sound.

"Yes!"

I grabbed her hips and thrust into her, slamming against her soft butt. She was moaning throughout, her head on the mattress. Perhaps out of some instinct and not anything I had thought out, I spanked one side of her ass.

"Oh yes, baby! I've been a bad girl."

I spanked the other side and she screamed.

I reached for her hair and grabbed a bundle to pull her head up.

"When I take you this way, I'm in charge."

"I know. Do me, baby. Do whatever you want."

Now I focused on filling her. I could feel cum boiling up and launched myself hard into her and roared as I came.

All of my weight was on her back, so she slowly went prone on the bed. I put my hands on either side of her head to take some of my weight. She kissed my arms.

"I love it when you have your way with me that way. I'm helpless to do anything, but I trust you completely."

I kissed her back. She moaned.

"Can you breathe?"

"I don't care. Just stay there on me."

Later that evening, we showered together, which led to me banging her against the wall, rear entry.

------[]----[]------

"Hey babe, starting with Vienna, I think we've made love a couple times in missionary position, a couple times doggy, at least once cowgirl and once or twice standing. What's your favorite?"

"That's an impossible choice. They're all good. I love the closeness of missionary. It's the most romantic. I love being taken and dominated by you, so doggy and standing doggy send me into orbit. By the way, I was so turned on when you spanked me! I also like cowgirl. It's fun to ride you, control most things, and watch your face. It's all good. What about you?"

"Pretty much the same. With cowgirl, I get a great view of your boobs bouncing, but the view of your ass with doggy is amazing."

"You guys are all alike. Visual."

"Can you blame me? Just look at yourself in the mirror...Hey, speaking of your ass--ok, I thought it but didn't speak it--have you ever thought about anal?"

"I've never done it, but I've thought about it. I'm curious, although a little afraid of it. Have you."

"Never. Guys aren't scared of it, of course, although I'd want to be sure you were safe."

"See, that's why I trust you. My safety comes before your pleasure. Maybe we should try it sometime after we learn more about it."

We talked for awhile about our pending wedding and finally fell asleep.

During the night, I had a dream Paige was giving me a blowjob. In that surreal world between dreaming and waking, I slowly realized it was not a dream.

She was down there licking and kissing my crown. I wasn't in her mouth, she was just teasing me with her tongue. I was amazed at how quickly I began to cum and she held it so I could watch my cum spurt into her mouth.

Then she swallowed and smiled at me.

"I wanted a snack."

"You help yourself anytime."

------[]----[]------

That morning, after breakfast, we sat on the sofa with our phones and looked at the calendar. Law school classes were starting on August 25th, so we figured we needed to get there about the 20th to get utilities in our names and go grocery shopping to have staples and food in the refrigerator.

If we wanted a week-long honeymoon, we had to have the wedding on or before the 12th.

I called my buddy in Seattle and told him we wanted the apartment. He asked and I confirmed I had proposed and we were marrying early in August. He offered his congrats. He said they were moving out on July 31st, and were headed for Helena, Montana, where his father had a law practice.

He gave me the names and telephone number for his parents, so I called them and said we hoped to rent the apartment effective August 1st. When I told them we would not move in until the 20th, they insisted on starting the rental agreement on that date. They wanted to paint and replace at least some of the carpeting.

I looked over at a piece of paper Paige was writing on and started laughing.

"What? I'm practicing."

On the paper she had written about 25 times, 'Paige Parker.'

"Have you tried Paige S. Parker? Sounds more professional."

She filled a page with that.
