Chapter 5

At Last

Lacy was laying in the bed reading when the phone rang.  She looked at the clock as she set her book down on the nightstand.  It was nine o’clock.  She reached over and picked up the phone.

“Hello,” she said.

“Hey sweetheart,” came that familiar voice.

“Hey,” she said, “I was hoping you’d call,”

“Well I thought I’d call you before I go to bed,” he said, “I miss you,”

“I miss you too,” she said nestling back against the pillows, “When are you coming home?”

“Day after tomorrow,” he said, “I really wish you could have come with me now.  This is driving me crazy,”

“I offered,”

“I know,” he said.

“How’s it going?” she asked.

“All right,” he said, “Meetings and everything to discuss the show and everything.  Listen you’re going to find out soon enough so I better just tell you this so you don’t faint when you see me,”

“What?” she asked.

“Well I sort of cut my hair,” he said.

“Sort of,” she said, “You either did or you didn’t,”

“I did and I don’t like it,” he said, “It just doesn’t look right to me.  She kind of screwed it up and I didn’t have the time or the patience to complain about it,”

“You’re too nice sometimes Ded,” she said.

“Well anyway,” he said, “My hair is considerably shorter, like above my collar.  I also shaved the beard off,”

“God are you trying to do, kill me?” she said, “You go away for a few days and you change your whole appearance,”

“Hey I was trying something new,” he said, “I was considering a new look for the new show.  The beard I can grow back quickly enough,” 

“Am I even going to be able to recognize you when you get back?”

“I hope so,” he said, “I do miss you Lacy,”

“I miss you too,” she said softly.

“Yeah?” he asked.  She could almost see him smiling over the phone, “You really miss me?”

“Of course,” she said, “You think I wouldn’t miss my Dedi bear,”

“Stop you’re making it worse,” he said, “God I can’t wait to be in your arms again,”

“I know, I feel the same,” she said.

“Well I should go,” he said, “The sooner I get to bed the sooner I can get through tomorrow and then sooner I can come home,”

“All right,” she said.

“I love you Lacy,” he said softly.

“I love you too Ded,” she said, “Dream of me?”

“Always,” he said, “Dream of me?”

“Gladly,” she said, “Goodnight Oded,”

“Goodnight baby,” he said, “Bye,”

“Bye,” she waited for him to hang up before hanging up, shutting off the lights and cuddling under the covers.  She was counting the minutes until he came home.

~*~

Lacy was waiting at the gate when Oded’s flight arrived.  She was actually nervous.  She didn’t know what to expect with his hair cut and his beard gone.  She stood there scanning the crowd and finally she saw that unmistakable smile.  She felt her knees go weak as he approached her.

He defiantly looked different with his dark hair cropped short just barely brushing the collar of his black turtleneck sweater, but damn that smile.  She made her way to him and he dropped his carry on to the floor as he swept her into his arms and spun her around.  She let out a laugh as he hugged her.  She pulled back to look at him and caressed his smooth cheek.

“Good God Ded,” she said, “If it wasn’t for that killer smile of yours I might have ended up hugging the wrong guy,”

“I told you it was pretty bad,” he said.

“It’s not bad,” she said running her fingers through it, “It’s just not really you.  Maybe you should just go all the way and cut it shorter,” 

“You think.”

“It’s an option,” she said, “Anyway, I really missed you,”

“I missed you too,” he said drawing her close.  He kissed her briefly, “Let’s get out of here,” She gave him a smile as she took his hand and they made their way to the baggage claim.

Soon they were on their way back to his apartment.  He couldn’t keep his hands off her as they drove through town.  She had worn another one of her delicious pleated skirts that fell just above her knees.  He couldn’t help but reach over and slid his hand across her thigh as she drove.  She smiled at him as she drove and he leaned over to her.

“I love you,” he said kissing her ear.

“I love you too,” she said.

They were soon at his apartment and Lacy helped him take his things inside.  As soon as he had the front door closed he rounded on her pulling her against him.  She let out a laugh as he pressed her against him and kissed her lips.  She snaked her arms around his neck and sagged against his hard chest.  Even with the short hair and no beard he was still the sexiest man she had ever laid eyes on and she had missed him desperately. 

He parted her lips and deepened the kiss causing her to moan as she gripped him tighter.  He had to admit he wanted to make love to her but he knew it wasn’t the time.  He had been away from her for five days, and his desire for her was too strong.  He didn’t want to risk hurting her, or having it end too quickly.  He knew he had to relief the ache he felt another way.  When it came to making love to Lacy he wanted it to be slow and tender.  He wanted to be able to linger and savor every inch of her.

He reached his hands down and cupped her buttocks bringing her hips against his.  She could feel his arousal pressing against his slacks and she felt the throbbing she was all ready feeling kick up an octave.  He moved his hands under her skirt feeling her bare skin.  She was wearing a thong again and it almost brought him to his knees.  He moved his mouth from hers and hungrily tasted her neck.

“Ded,” she gasped, “Please,”

“I need to taste you,” he murmured against her skin, “My sweet Lacy,”

“Yes,” she said, “Touch me,”

He grabbed her lifting her up as she wrapped her legs around his trim waist.  He carried her upstairs to his bedroom where he laid her across the bed.  He tried desperately to slow down as he kissed and caressed her but she was so eager, so ready for him.  It took every ounce of strength he had to keep from simply parting her legs and taking her right there. 

Instead he resigned himself to having her pleasure him as she had been using her hot mouth, and her gentle touch.  He could feel the raw passion and desire in her.  He felt it wouldn’t be long before she would grant him his deepest wish.  They pleasured each other taking their timing exploring every inch of each other’s bodies. 

When they were done they laid in each other’s arms, whispering words of love and caressing each other softly.  It seemed only moments passed before they were hungrily exploring each other once more.  The sun was setting by the time they crawled from his bed to eat.  They ordered a pizza and sat on the floor in the living room.

“Let’s go away tomorrow,” he said.

“What?” she smiled.

“I have a friend that has a cabin up North,” he said, “Said I could use it whenever I want.  We can pack up the car and head up tomorrow, spend the weekend,” 

“Seriously?”

“Yeah,” he said wiping his mouth with his napkin, “Why?” 

“Nothing, I just have to go over to my place and pack,” she said. 

“You don’t have enough here,” he smiled.

“Despite what you think I don’t have all my clothes here,” she said nudging him. 

“All right,” he said, “We can go over in the morning you can pack and I’ll run to the store.  I want to pick up a few things to take with us,” 

When they were done eating they went back to his bedroom and soon they were cuddled up in his bed.  She had missed having him there to hold onto during the night.  They soon drifted off to sleep.

~*~

The next morning they showered, dressed, ate breakfast, and made their way to Lacy’s place.  He dropped her off and went to the store while she packed her bags.  She knew he had something up his sleeve, he always did.

She was going through her things packing her bags with a smile.  There was a flash in her mind as stood there and she felt dizzy for a moment.  She sat down trying to catch her breath.  When her breathing slowed she stood again and moved to zip her bag shut.  She was sitting outside waiting for him when he pulled up and soon they were on their way. 

He noticed she was quite as they drove and he reached over placing his hand on her knee.  She gave him a soft smile as she placed her hand over his.  He could sense something was wrong.  Whenever she got that quite he knew that something was most defiantly on her mind and he sensed what it was. 

When they arrived at the cabin, Lacy quickly saw that this was no little cabin, but a huge log cabin style mansion.  He helped her out of the car and took the bags inside as she followed.  He set them down and went out to the car once more as she looked around. 

It was far from rustic, leather sofa and chairs, natural wood tables, hardwood floors with plush area rugs.  There was a natural stone fireplace, and a huge bay window looking out over a lake.  There was a formal dining area, a full gourmet kitchen with a breakfast nook.  She could hardly wait to see what the bedroom looked like.  She turned when she heard him come in and shut the door.

“What do you think?” he asked.

“This place is incredible,” she said, “Not at all what I pictured,”

“I’m going to take the bags upstairs,” he said.

“Right behind you,” she said scooping up her things.

She followed him up the staircase and she stood behind him as he opened the heavy oak, double doors.  The room was massive with a fireplace of it’s own, plush burgundy carpeting, dark wood walls and ceiling.  The bed was California King, with a hand carved wood headboard and footboard.  He walked over and sat the bags on the bed.  She reached out running her hand over the bedding, silk.

She moved away, went over to a pair of French doors, and pushed them open.  There was private screened in patio.  She turned when the blinds started to rise on her own.  He was standing behind her smiling at her as the sunlight spilled into the room. 

“Just flip a switch,” he said, “Check this out,” he flipped the switch again drawing the heavy blinds shut once more and Lacy’s attention was drawn up as a panel in the ceiling opened up.

“Cool,” she said with a smile.  

“Keeps out bugs, and preying eyes, while letting in the moon and the stars,” he said, “And,” he said walking from her, “Jacuzzi,” he said resting his foot on the cover that stuck up from the floor.

“You’ve been here before,” she said.

“Once, for a party,” he said, “Got the grand tour,” he said. 

“It’s nice,” she said walking past him and back into the bedroom.  She went over and unzipped her bag.  She pulled out a small bag with her toiletries and walked into the bathroom, “Good God, we could sleep in the bathtub,” she said loudly to him.

“Check out the shower,” he yelled back, and he smiled as he waited for her response.  She walked back to the door.

“With that set up I might not need you,” she said smacking him on the ass.

“Hey now,” he said grabbing for her.  She skirted away and walked over to her bag. 

They finished unpacking and then headed downstairs to make something to eat.  He slipped his arms around her as she stood at the kitchen counter making sandwiches for them.  He brushed her hair aside pressing his lips to her neck.  She pressed back against him as he hugged her to him.

“So,” he said softly, “What do you want to do first?” 

“After lunch let me cut your hair,” she said.  He released her as she turned to him.

“What?”

“This mid length does not work for you sweetie,” she said caressing his cheek, “It’s a bit too cutesy for you,”

“So you want to cut it,” he said.

“Yeah,” she said, “I’ve got clippers, we can trim it short around your ears, and on your neck line, leave the top just long enough to style with some gel.  I think it would look good,” 

“I don’t know,” he said as he picked up a slice of pickle and popped it in his mouth.

“Come on you’re supposed to be a Federal Agent on the new show,” she said, “Most of them have those short neatly cropped hair cuts, like Harrison Ford,” he groaned as he stepped back from her, “What?”

“I haven’t worn my hair short in years,” he said.

“Trust me,” she said, “You’ll look great,” 

“We’ll see,” he smiled as she finished up their lunch. 

They ate their lunch and he could feel her eyes on him.  He looked up to see a strange look cross her face.  He reached out and took her hand in his caressing it softly as he smiled at her.  He raised her hand to his lips placing a gentle kiss on her skin.  He leaned over then and kissed her lips.

“After lunch, you may cut my hair,” he said softly, “Just don’t cut off anything I need,”

“I won’t,” she laughed.

After lunch she went upstairs to get some stuff together.  She took him in the kitchen and washed his hair before taking him outside onto the front deck.  He had slipped his light sweater off and his skin was warm as she touched him.  The sun was out bright that day and it was actually very nice.  She ran her fingers through his hair and felt him tense as she made the first cut. 

“You all right?”

“Yeah,” he said, “Just do it,”

She smiled as she started to comb his hair out making cut after cut.  She moved around him feeling his eyes on her as she cut his hair.  She moved in front of him, and stood between his legs as she continued.  Her blouse hung loose on her and he could see right down the front as she bent over him slightly.  He felt a pull in his groin as he gazed down her blouse seeing the pink satin cupping her soft breasts. 

He reached out placing his hands on her hips as she continued to study and make each cut, letting the scraps of hair fall to the deck.  He did flinch slightly when he heard the clippers turn on.  She ran them over his head, and pulled his ears gently to trim the hair neatly. 

His hair had a natural way of lying that she knew would make it easy for him to manage.  She continued, trimming his neckline, and as she trimmed him she saw the gray hair along his temples come out a bit more.  She kept working and soon turned the trimmers off, setting them down.  He felt her run her fingers through the short hair and tousled it trying to shake out loose hairs.  She combed through it and then handed him a mirror.

“So what do you think?” she asked.  She stood behind him waiting for him to say something.

“I like it,” he said with a smile.

“Really?”

“Yeah,” he said, “It’s nice.  My ears stick out though,”

“I like your ears,” she said placing her hands on his bare shoulders, “It looks good,”

“Man am I getting gray,” he said running his fingers through his short hair.

“It looks sexy,” she said

“I should jump in the shower and wash this loose hair off,” he said moving from her, “I won’t be long,” he slipped his arms around her waist and kissed her briefly.

“I’ll just clean up,” she smiled.

“Don’t be long,” he said caressing her cheek.

Lacy got a broom as he made his way upstairs to the bedroom.  Lacy swept up the hair, and took everything inside before going upstairs to the bedroom.  As she walked in she saw the bathroom door open, steam billowing out from the shower.  As she moved over to the bed she could see him in shower, his chiseled frame as he stood under the hot water.  He did look very sexy with his new short hair much better then the other cut. 

She watched him in the shower and as she did a different feeling crept into her.  In addition to all the familiar feelings she had at that moment there was something more, something deeper.  She reached up, pulled her hair down from its ponytail, and moved to her drawer.  She pushed things around and drew a nightgown out from the drawer.  She disappeared from the room.

He soon got out of the shower and looked at himself in the mirror.  He really did like the new cut; it was going to be much easier then brushing out his long locks every morning.  He liked the idea of being able to just run his fingers through his hair and go.  He toweled off and pulled on a pair of dark blue boxers.  He slipped on his robe and hid the little velvet box in his pocket. 

He walked over to the bed and turned down the sheets.  He looked around wondering where Lacy was.  He heard movement and walked over to the French doors to see her standing there.  She was wearing a long dark blue robe and there was enough of a breeze to make it swirl slightly.  Her long hair hung over her shoulders as she stood there.  He walked up behind her as she stared out at the lake.

“Hey,” he said softly as he slipped his arms around her.

“Hey,” she answered back.

“This is new,” he said fingering the tie of her robe, “Did you buy this just for me?”

“You could say that,” she said turning in his arms.

“You look breathtaking,” he said leaning into kiss her.  She hugged him tight and felt something press against her. 

“What is that?” she asked pulling back from him.

“It was suppose to be a surprise,” he said as he reached in his pocket, “Now before you get too excited.  It’s not a ring, but there is a question attached to it,” he handed her the box.

“Oded,” she said softly.

“Open it,” he said.  She opened the box and inside was a set of house keys on a heart shaped key ring.

“Keys,” she said looking at him.

“Yes,” he said looking at her, “Keys to the condo I bought in Vancouver.  Front and back door,”

“Oded,” she said as tears came to her eyes.

“I can’t leave you behind Lacy,” he said softly, “I know it’s a lot to ask but…I need you with me.  I love you.  I want you to come with me,”

“Vancouver,” she said softly.

“Yeah,” he said looking at her intently.

“It gets awfully cold in Vancouver,” she said turning the keys over in her hands.

“Yeah,” he said still looking at her, “Cold and lonely aren’t a good combination,”

“Oh,” she said throwing her arms around his neck, “I love you Oded,”

“So is that a yes,” he asked.

“Yes,” she said looking at him, “Yes, I’ll go to Vancouver with you.  Oded, I’d go anywhere with you,”  

“I love you,” he said hugging her, “I love you so much Lacy,”

“I love you too Oded,” she said softly as he leaned in to kiss her.

She wrapped her arms around him again as he kissed her.  He practically lifted her off the floor as he hugged her to him.  He parted her lips and she moaned gently as he deepened the kiss.  He held her close to his lean frame as he backed into the bedroom taking her with him.  He turned with her moving her towards the bed not breaking the kiss.  He lifted her into his arms and laid her gently across the bed still not breaking the kiss. 

She moved her hands letting them drift up into his short hair, and she was taken back when that new feeling once again crept into her body.  She had always felt desire for him, love, and arousal, but this was deeper, stronger.  She felt as if her skin was on fire, the ache was deeper within her, and it resonated through her whole body.  His mouth left hers and as he kissed up her neck she moaned lightly.  He slipped his hand up to cup her full breast through the silk of her robe and she arched her back pressing herself into his palm. 

“Ded,” she gasped.

“What baby?” he asked softly.

“Make love to me,” she whispered.

“What?” he asked looking at her.

“Make love to me Ded, I need you,”

“Are you sure sweetie?”

“Yes,” she said cupping his face.

“Lacy,” he said.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“Nothing, it’s just I had this idea of how I wanted this to be for us,”

“Oded,” she said looking at him, “I don’t need candlelight and soft music, all I need is you,” 

“Lacy,” he said softly, “I…I didn’t plan for this.  I didn’t want to bring condoms and have you think I was pressuring you,”

“I took care of it,” she said, “I thought it would be best if I got on birth control.  That way we didn’t have to worry about it when the time came.  I got the shot first and now have those new patches.  I like those better.  That’s enough isn’t it?”

“Yeah baby,” he said kissing her gently, “That’s enough.  Lacy, if I start to rush or something tell me,”

“I will,” she said looking into his eyes, “Make love to me Oded,”

“Yes,” he whispered softly.

He moved his hand up and her eyes fluttered close as she felt his fingers caress her forehead.  He brushed her bangs back and let his fingers trail slowly over the features of her face.  His heart was racing in his chest as he gazed at her.  To finally be able to have her completely, it was nearly an overwhelming thought.  As his fingers trailed over her soft lips and they parted slightly at his touch.

“Look at me baby,” he said softly.  Her eyes opened as she met his loving gaze, “I love you,”

“I love you too,” she said caressing his cheek.

He leaned in pressing his lips to hers.  She slipped her arms around him and pressed her body to him as he parted her lips to deepen the kiss.  He kissed her slowly, tenderly, tasting her deeply, exploring her thoroughly.  He eased out of the kiss and let his soft lips trail over her jaw line kissing gently up to her ear.  He nipped at her soft skin as she ran her fingers through his short hair.  He nipped at the skin with his lips, and licked her hot skin. 

As he kissed his way across her skin and up the other side of her neck he let his hand drifted down and cupped her full round breast in his hand.  She pressed against him as he fondled her gently.  His lips once again found hers as she arched her back pressing herself into his hand more. 

He broke the kiss and moved from her a bit.  He reached down and took the ties of her robe in his hands.  He pulled it loose as she smiled up at him and he pushed the material aside.  Underneath she wore a matching dark blue nightgown; the satin material clung to her curves, and had lace trim and tiny beads.  

“God, you’re beautiful,” he said softly.

“You like it,” she smiled. 

“Oh yeah,” he said smiling at her. 

She sat up and took the ties of his robe in her hands pulling to loose and pushing it open.  She reached up and pushed it back off his shoulders.  He let it slide down his arms and tossed it aside.  He drew her up stripping her robe off and tossed it the floor as well before he lay back down with her.  They kissed again and cradled her head in his hand as he kissed her.  He then slowly moved down gripping the straps of her gown in his hands and drawing them down. 

She moaned softly as he kissed over the skin of her creamy breasts.  He teased her skin with his hot mouth.  She could feel the stubble on his chin scraping against her soft skin, and she loved how it felt.  He took the taut rosy peak of her breast into his mouth drawing it deep as she moaned again.

“Ded,” she gasped.

He teased one breast before moving to the other repeating his sweet torture.  She reached up running her fingers through his thick short hair as he lingered over her teasing her until she was sensitized to his touch.  He then moved slowly down her body drawing her gown with him.  He moved slowly drawing it over her hips and she heard him gasp when he slid it down.  She was wearing a pair of dark blue thong panties that were very sheer.  He could see the nest of tight curls pressed against the thin material.

“Dear God,” he said softly.

“Dedi, are you okay?”

“Yeah,” he said his breath coming out hard, “These leave very little to the imagination,” he said slipping his fingers under the waistband of the panties, “You might as well be naked,”

“Then why don’t you slip them off me,” she said.

“I’d rather rip them off you,” he said still holding the waistband in his fingers.

“That works too,” she said, “I only put them on because they came with the nightgown,”

“Then you won’t miss them,” he said tugging hard and breaking the strap easily in his hands. 

He moved them from her body and tossed them over his shoulder as he moved back up her body.  She smiled softly as he moved over her placing feather light kisses on her all ready sensitive skin.  She missed the feel of his long hair, but it was quickly replaced by the delicious feel of his stubble chaffing her.  He moved lower as she parted her legs to his touch.  He moved over her going ever lower.  He let his lips brush the inside of her silky thighs.

She moaned lightly as he continued to tease her gently.  Anticipation shot through her as she felt his gentle touch, spreading open her soft folds.  She arched instinctively as he tasted her sweetness.  Her moans grew louder as he tasted her sweet nectar.  She cried out as he slipped a finger inside her feeling her tight clasp.  She responded wildly as he probed and caressed her.  He could feel she was ready.  It was now or never.

He moved up from her and looked into her eyes.  He could see the love and desire burning bright with in her.  He grabbed the waist of his boxers and pushed them down over his hips freeing his aching manhood.  She met his intense gaze as he moved to position himself between her legs. 

He didn’t enter right away.  He positioned his manhood against her letting it rub against her as she moaned lightly.  She was so slick and he was fighting for control now.  He didn’t want it to end too soon.  As he shifted his hips his erection found her opening and he felt her tense.

“Easy,” he said leaning over her, “It’s all right,”

“I’m sorry,” she said her eyes closed.

“Baby, look at me,” he said softly.  She opened her eyes and met his gaze.  She could see it, his eyes were black with desire for her and it sent a chill through her, “Look right here,” he said pointing to his eyes, “Nowhere else,”

“Okay,” she said in a whisper.  He began to push inside her feeling her tense.

“Relax,” he said gently as he leaned over to kiss her, “It’s all right,” he started to push in again as she relaxed against him, “That’s it sweetie,”

“Ded,” she gasped, “Oh,”

“It’s all right Lacy,” he said just barely. 

He was soon buried deep inside her.  He could feel her body responding to him, stretching, contracting, and caressing him as he held still within her.  His mind was swimming as he dropped his head against her shoulder. 

“Ded,” she gasped.

“It’s all right baby,” he said softly, “I just need a second,” his breath was ragged.

“Ded,”

“God Lacy,” he said, “You feel so good,”

“So do you,” she said as she tried to relax.  He moved and looked at her then.

“Don’t take you’re eyes off me,” he said gently.  She nodded, “I love you,”

“I love you too,” she gasped.

He withdrew from her slowly and she moaned as her body instantly missed the feel of him.  He pushed back into her feeling her instinctively try to meet his advancements.  He shifted slightly grabbing her hips in his hands to guide her movements.  She saw the look on his face as he continued to sink into her deeply and withdraw from her.  She had never seen that look; it was a look of total and utter pleasure.  He looked down at her as she moaned lightly.  Her soft moans soon turned sultry as he picked up his pace.

“Oh God,” she moaned as he moved against her.

“That’s it baby,” he said as he moved inside her, “Let it happen Lacy,”

“Oh God, Ded,” she moaned. 

He knew he couldn’t draw it out anymore he had to let go.  She gasped slightly as he released her hips and leveled himself against her body.  She instinctively moved her legs spreading them wider as he looked in her eyes.

“Now, I will show you ecstasy,” he said softly.

“Yes, God yes,” she sighed.

He gripped her under her shoulders as he started thrusting into her faster, deeper, harder, making her cry out in shear pleasure.  She ran her hands over his strong back feeling his muscles contract, the dampness of his flesh as he pushed them to the final sweet release.  She moved her hands down grabbing his hard ass in her hands as he continued to thrust his full hard length inside her.

“Oh…oh…god,” she moaned, “Ded…oh god yes,”

“Lacy,” he groaned, “Come on baby.  Let me feel it.  That’s it,”

“Ded,” she cried as he pounded into her.

Finally he felt it as her tiny muscles clamped down hard on him triggering his own release.  She practically screamed as the orgasm ripped through her body.  She arched wildly against his hard body, her eyes rolling back as her whole body shook.  He stopped holding his weight on his elbows as he looked at her.  Her eyes were closed now as he looked at her sweet face, and he saw a tear slid down her soft cheek.

“Lacy,” he said softly, “Baby,”

“I’m okay,” she said gasping a bit, “I’m all right,” she turned to look at him and he gave her a soft smile.

“That was…incredible,” he said.

“Defiantly,” she said.  He went to pull from her and she gasped as her body jerked, “Ded,”

“Easy,” he said cupping her face in his hand.

“What was that?” she gasped.

“You’re body’s not done with me,” he said softly. 

“Oh,” she moaned softly as she felt a twinge of pleasure shoot through her.

“It’s all right,” he said gently, “Just let it happen.  Ride it out,”

“Oh,” she moaned as she felt another wave hit her, “Ded,”

“Easy,” he said softly as he shifted against her.

“Oh,” she gasped again. 

His little movements made her convulse on him and soon he felt her clasp on him relax allowing him to ease from her body.  He rolled then taking her with him and pulling her across his chest.  She lay there listening to his heartbeat as she hugged him.  She stroked his chest softly as he caressed her bare back.

“Can we do that again?” she smiled as she lay in his arms. 

“In about twenty minutes or so,” he said with a chuckle. 

“So that’s what making love is like,” she said.

“Uh-huh,” he said softly, “That... was most defiantly worth the wait,”  

“Really?” she said looking at him.

“Oh yeah,” he said caressing her cheek gently, “And I most defiantly want to do that again,”

“That can be arranged,” she smiled as she kissed him softly, “I love you Oded,”

“I love you too Lacy,” he gaze was soft on her now, “I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you,”

“Oded,” she said blushing.

“I mean it,” he said, “That’s why I want you with me.  I don’t want to be without you,”

“And you won’t be,” she said softly. 

He hugged her and rolled once more pushing her back against the mattress.  He kissed her gently as she ran her hands over his back.  They hugged each other close whispering softly as they began to slowly caressing each other.  They were soon making love once more and his heart was racing in his chest.  She was more eager, more aggressive the second time and it gave him more freedom as he took her again.

She cried out for him as he was soon thrusting into her still tender opening.  Despite that fact she felt as if she was soaring as the pleasure washed over her again.  Afterwards he lay between her soft breasts as she caressed his back.  He let out a sigh of contentment as she hugged him close. 

“Do you need me to move?” he asked softly.

“No,” she sighed, “You’re good,”

“Tired?”

“Mmm,” she said, “A good tired,”

“Me too,”

“I love you,”

“I love you too baby,” He soon let his eyes drift shut and they both drifted off to sleep. 

~*~

It was rather late when he awoke suddenly to Lacy’s movements.  He lifted his head as she let out a soft moan.  She was still asleep but something was wrong.

“Lacy,” he said softly, “Lacy sweetie,” he caressed her face, and her eyes flew open, “Lacy,”

“Oded,” she said hugging him close.

“It’s all right sweetie, it was just a dream,” he said.

“It was your hair,” she said softly.

“What?” he said pulling back to look at her.

“It was the long hair,” she said, “I didn’t realize it until just now.  Robert had long hair and beard.  I had forgotten what he looked like.  I had buried it somewhere in the back of my mind,”

“That’s what was holding you back,” he said confused.

“I know it must seem stupid but until you cut your hair,” she stopped, “After I cut your hair it suddenly became this consuming drive.  I didn’t realize at first what I was feeling, and then it all just seemed to fall into place.  Seeing you here, giving me the keys, it just all felt so right,”

“It’s not stupid,” he said, “What happened was traumatic to you.  Believe me if I had known I would have cut my hair sooner,”

“I didn’t know,” she said, “But if you decide to grow your hair long again in the future I think I’ll be all right now,”

“We’ll worry about that later,” he said hugging her close.

“I love you,”

“I love you too Lacy,” He kissed her briefly and then looked in her eyes.  He could read her mind, “Want to go again?” he smiled.

“Yes please,” she smiled as she hugged him close.

He kissed her passionately as she pressed against him.  He made love to her this time going a bit slower then the last.  He kissed and caressed every inch of her body enjoying the sweet sounds of pleasure that escaped her lips.  He loved her deeply, everything about her made his heart race and in his mind he rejoiced that she consented to move with him.  When it was over he hugged her close and soon felt her relax in his strong arms.  He soon joined her in a peaceful sleep.

Lacy woke the next morning to an empty bed.  The pillow was cold so she assumed he had been up for a while.  She smelled the scent of coffee in the air and smiled.  “He hadn’t gone far,” she smiled.  She moved from the bed feeling a dull pain between her legs.  No small wonder after making love three times the night before, it was well worth the discomfort though.  She couldn’t help but wonder if it was that good for everyone, and if it always would be for them.  He stole her breath away and she loved it.

She moved to the dresser pulling on a pair of panties and a bra.  She then slipped on her blue jeans, and a pulled on one of his plane with t-shirts.  She started down the stairs and stopped when she heard a strange voice.

“Oded, I want to talk to you about this girl you’re seeing,” came a woman’s voice over the speakerphone.

“Lacy?” he said, “She’s hardly a girl,”

“That’s not what I mean,” she said, “Are you planning on taking her to the premiere?”

“I haven’t asked her yet, but that was the plan,” he said, “Why?”

“I don’t know if it’s a good idea for you to be flaunting a relationship at this point,” said the woman.

“What?” he said turning towards the phone.

“You were named “Sexiest Import”.  You have a strong female fan base.  They might not like it if they know you’re seeing someone,” she said.

“Let me get this straight, you want me to hide my relationship with Lacy,” he said.

“Well,”

“You’ve got to be kidding.  I all ready took her to the studio party and no one batted an eye,” he said.

“That was different Oded, there are going to be a lot more fans at the premiere and you’ll be on TV, in magazines,” she said.

“This is crazy,” he said, “No way, I won’t do it,”

“Oded,” she said, “It would different if you were engaged or married,”

“Why?” he said, “Just because she’s not my wife yet you expect me to treat her like she doesn’t exist,”

“Oded,”

“No, I love her and I won’t do that to her.  It’s not an option,” he let out a sigh, “You think my fans will be upset that I have a girlfriend that I’m crazy about?  I think they’d be more upset if they knew I was madly in love and hid it rather then shout it from the rooftops, which believe me I’ve thought about doing,”

“I’m sorry, I just thought,”

“No you didn’t think,” he said, “I love Lacy.  Not only is she going to be on my arm at that Premiere she’s going to be at every premiere, every party, every event I want to take her to.  In fact she’s moving to Vancouver with me, so you better just get use the idea.  If you can’t deal with it then I’ll get a different agent,” he said, “Are we clear?”

“Yes Oded.  I’m sorry,”

“Yeah,” he said, “I’ll talk to you when I get back,”

“Bye,”

“Bye,” she said. 

The line went dead as he pushed the button off.  She walked slowly into the kitchen seeing him standing at the counter.  He was wearing faded blue jeans, and a light blue sweater.  He was bare foot as he stood there making breakfast.  She was quite as she stood there watching him.  He turned to her flashing that mega watt smile of his making her knees melt. 

“Morning,” he said, “Hungry?”

“Yeah,” she said quietly.

“Hey,” he said moving over to her, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” she said.

“You are an awful lair,” he said looking at her, “You heard,”

“Yeah,” she said, “Oded if my presence is going to cause problems for your career then maybe I shouldn’t go with you,”

“No,” he said firmly, “Don’t even think about that.  You mean more to me then anything else, even my career,”

“Ded,”

“No case closed,” he said, “I want you with me, I love you Lacy,”

“I love you too,” she said hugging him, “I’m sorry,”

“It’s all right,” he said, “Come on before I burn breakfast,” 

They ate breakfast and talked about moving and such.  They had a wonderful weekend.  They went horseback riding, and for walks.  They made love, used the Jacuzzi, and just enjoyed being together.  Lacy was nervous but excited about moving to Vancouver.  She wanted to be with him forever.

She also replayed the conversation she had heard in her mind.  “Yet,” she thought.  He said, “Yet,” God she would gladly marry him if he asked.  One step at a time she thought one step at a time.
