Chapter 42

Harrison Latham had made the announcement that he was now in control of Jive Records.  The media was very involved in the story and had been looking for Nick and Gwen for comments.  Luckilly, they had gotten away without anyone knowing where they went.  The had decided to stay in St. Thomas until the whole thing blew over, at the suggestion of Gwen's dad.  She didn't seem to be too happy about the situation, they had been there for two days and Nick was starting to get frustrated.  Gwen had slept pretty much the whole time and when she wasn't sleeping, she barely said a word.  Although they had been sleeping in the same bed and had been alone together for two entire days Nick had never felt farther away from her, including the time she had left him.  Nick walked out onto the deck and saw Gwen laying on a chase lounge in a white terrycloth bath robe, staring out into the blue water.

"Baby..." Nick said, Gwen didn't respond.  He walked over to where she was and laid down next to her a wrapped his arms around her from behind.  She responded to his touch by putting her arms around his.  They laid there quietly for what seemed like hours, but really it was only about 30 minutes.  Nick's mind was reeling, he was thinking the worst and tears started to fall from his eyes.  Gwen noticed this and turned around so she was facing him.

She looked into his eyes and said, "Nicky, don't cry...I am sorry this is all my fault.  Look what I have done to us."

Between sobs, Nick said quietly, "Are we going to be OK?"

"Honestly, I don't know...this is all my fault, you haven't done anything wrong."

"Its not your fault, its nobody's fault...except for maybe mine...I had so many expectations coming here, I just set myself up.  I should have known that this wouldn't fix things."

"Nick, being here with you is wonderful.  I know that I have been in my own world but I am just trying to get over everything, it is still hard for me.  I feel like I let you down."

"You didn't let me down," Nick said as Gwen looked down, he picked up her face, her tears now showing and said, "Look at me Gwenny, its not your fault that this happened...as much as I don't want to believe it maybe the time just wasn't right.  All of our dreams are going to come true, I know they will.  All I need is a sign from you that you love me and want to make it work.  If you give me that then I can..."

"Nick,  you don't need to do anything, I got us here.  I am the one that left you in San Francicso, I am the one who gave up on us...I am the one who lost our baby.  I owe you so much, I need to make things right."

"You don't have to..."

Gwen cut him off with her lips, as she pulled away from the kiss she placed a finger over his mouth to hush him, "I love you, Nicky...please, let me show you."

Nick looked at her as she started unbottoning his shirt, she planted soft kisses up and down his chest, "I know you need this, I just want to make you happy."

"You do make me happy, we don't have to make love for me to know that."

"Shhhh..." Gwen said as she continued her kissing, she was obviously nervous about what she was doing.  Nick was shaking beneath her as she sat him up slightly in order to remove his shirt.  She looked at him with tears in her eyes as she stood up before him and untied her robe, letting it drop to the deck beneath her.  She was wearing a pair of white panties. 

Nick looked up at her and said, "I forgot how beautiful you are."

Gwen took his hand and led him into the bedroom that was behind the french doors that led to the deck.  She stopped at the end of the bed and kissed him before silently removing her panties and crawling into the middle of the bed.  Nick stared at her for a moment before removing his own shorts and boxers and crawling towards her waiting body.  He stopped as he reached her, he was hovering over her.  Nick leaned down and kissed her gently, allowing his tongue to slowly move around in her mouth.  He continued to kiss down the front of her body, paying attention to her neck, breasts, navel and then, before reaching her center he looked up at her to ask permission.

"Come back up here," she said as he slowly moved back to her mouth and kissed her softly once again.

"Are you sure you are ready to do this?"  he asked, the tip of his hard manhood was waiting at her entry.

"The doctor said it would be fine...I need this Nicky, please, make love to me," she replied as he looked at her seriously and slowly slid into her.  He stayed there, not moving, just looking at her thru his own teary eyes.  She wrapped her arms around his neck and brought his forehead to hers, "You aren't going to hurt me Nick, we both need this."

He stared into her eyes as he started moving slowly, the tears falling from his eyes had turned into sobs, between them he spoke, "Oh Gwenny...I love you...so so much...please don't leave me...I can't live without you...I just...I just want to love you."

Her tears mirrored his as she cried outloud, "I can't...oh...I never want us...to be apart again...oh Nicky...I love you...more than anything...don't let me go."

Nick continued his slow thrusts deep inside of Gwen, every emotion they were both feeling came out in this act of love.  After they had both reached their climaxes, Nick laid above her, still inside of her while his head rested on her chest.

"Nicky?"  she asked.

"Yes baby..." he replied.

"I want to get married."

"OK, we will whenever you are ready."

"No, you don't understand...I want to get married today."

"Do you mean it," he asked, obviously suprised by what she had said.

"Yes, I don't want to wait another day to be your wife...lets get married tonight."
