The Final Step to Love Part 1 by Shirley Johns After Catherine and Vincent finished their dinner, father tried everything to get them to stay longer or go to his chamber. Vincent was just as determined to go to his. Finally they were about to leave when father said, " he would be by later to see them." Vincent stopped walking and asked father if they could talk in private?" Going to the far end of the dining hall Vincent said, "father Catherine and I want to be alone." "I understand your concern but we are adults and accountable for our own actions." "What ever Catherine and I do is between us father and we do not wish to be disturbed tonight." "We will see you in the morning at breakfast." Gathering Catherine around the waist they said goodnight and left. Father just stood there staring after them speechless. Mary went to him and said, "Jacob leave them alone." "They know what they are doing. " "You worry too much." "Come finish your dinner." "Catherine and Vincent will be fine." "Mary I hope so", said Jacob. And he returned to the table. "Catherine I had to tell father we wanted to be alone." Now maybe he will understand." "Come my angel we have some unfinished business to attend to" and they headed for his chamber. When they arrived at his chamber, Catherine sat upon the bed . "Come here my love." "I want you close". As he walked toward her, she slowly unbuttoned her blouse. When she went to her bra, he stopped her and said "let me please." Leaning back on the bed ,she let him finish. When he was done she placed his head there once again and said, "Vincent I love to feel you here. As she held him close, he lightly caressed her there. "Catherine I love you." You feel so wonderful to me." "It is like a pleasure pain." "It gives me pleasure holding you so and painful because I am afraid to go further." "Vincent , please don't be afraid." We have come too far for you to withdrawal." "We can take our relationship as far as you want us too." "I have wanted to for a very long time but you keep holding back." "If you really want a serious relationship between us, you have got to let down you guard and conquer your fear." "Our desire to be together is pulling at our hearts like a magnet ." "We are drawn together, we were meant to be together." "What can I do to help you?" "I need you Vincent." "Catherine, I don't know what can be done." "Should we keep going letting our hearts guide us?" "If I get too far out of control will I be able to stop myself?" "Vincent don't you see, I want you out of control." "I want all of you no matter what." "Oh Catherine can we try?" "Yes Vincent let us try." As father returned to his dinner, he was still concerned about Vincent and Catherine being alone. They made it through the blackout together. Although Vincent has changed since than, he said "nothing happened between them" and I believe him but something changed him. He asked not to be disturbed. "What is he planning?" Well Mary said "I must leave them alone" and I will. I'll still worry though. At the same time in Vincent's chamber, what father feared most was happening, Catherine and Vincent were making love. The release of their passion was overwhelming. Neither imagined its power. Vincent took a chance by loving his Catherine and was so glad he did. "Catherine had I known what we shared would be this beautiful, I would not have taken so long to fulfill our dream." "Vincent I knew but you had to find out on your own." "Father will not be pleased with us Catherine." "However, drawing her closer in his arms, I am very pleased." "Yes Vincent my love I am pleased as well." "Would you like to read the book I had earlier?" and she got out of bed not bothering with her clothes. Looking at her as she got the book, he was mesmerized by the beauty of her body. So delicate, soft and warm and he had finally made it his own. Retrieving her book she climbed back in bed. Vincent pulled her closer against him and Catherine began to read. "That god forbid that made me first your slave. I should in thought control your times of pleasure. Or at your hand the account of hours to crave. Being your vassel, bound to stay your leisure" (Sonnet LVIII). As she read the second page of her story, Vincent could not longer take the lovely sound of her voice and the softness of her body next to his. Removing the book from her hands, he said three simple words, "I want you." Capturing her lips in a kiss he took possession of her body once more. Part 2 Shirley's Fanfic Index <> > |
