Chapter 12

When Nick got the the door of Gwen's apartment building, he anxiously hit the intercom button. 

"Yes" she said over the intercom.

"Its Nick"

She buzzed him in and said, "The door is open, let yourself in."

As Nick made his way up to her apartment, he realized that he was so swept up in the moment that he forgot to change and shower.  He felt a little embarrassed.  He stood outside her door for a second and thought 'Should I be doing this' he rationalized it with the fact that they had both felt something last night and that he was falling in love with her.  He didn't have the strength to fight both her and his feelings.  As he walked into the door, the only light was from candles.  He walked around the living area, she wasn't there - he checked the kitchen, no Gwen.  Finally, he made his way into the familiar bedroom where everything had started, she wasn't there either,  he called her name, "Gwen?"

"I'm in here" she said, it sounded like she was in the bathroom.  He opened the door and there she was, in the garden size bathtub, covered in bubbles with candles surrounding her.  She was casually sipping a glass of champange, leaning back on a bath pillow.  He hair was in a messy bun with pieces falling on her neck, she was a vision of perfection.  Nick just stood their taking her beauty in, that alone was exciting him.

She said, "Aren't you going to join me?  I thought that this was what you needed after such a tiring day and eventful night."

He smiled and said, "I think you are exactly what I need."

He slowly began to remove his clothes as she attentively looked on.  He had a sexy smile on his face, apparent that no embarrassment was felt, he was comfortable with her.  As he slid into the tub she reached over to the bottle and poured him a glass of champange.  As she handed it to him he pulled her toward him and kissed her deeply.  "What was that for?"

"Everything...being you, spending time with me, doing this for me.  I love you so much." Nick said.

"And I love you...I just wanted to do something nice for you, that's all."

"You already have by giving me a chance," Nick said as she began kissing his neck and chest as he felt her legs move so that she was straddling him.  She took the campange from both of their hands and set them on the side of the tub.  Her attention turned back to him as she looked into his eyes as she lowered her body onto his. 

After a while, they decided to get out of the bathtub and go to bed.  They washed and dried eachother off.  As Nick finished drying Gwen, he picked up up and carried her to the bed.  He her down gently and pulled the covers over her.  He said, "I think I need to make love to you again."

After another exhausting session, she collasped on top of him, Nick still inside of her.   They both fell asleep with not only their bodies, but their hearts joined as well.
