Laura just stared back at him, her mouth open slightly. "Michael, I…"
"Please, let me finish." He took a deep breath. "You walked into my life and turned it upside down. It scared me. But when you said good bye last night and then walked out, that's when I knew the true meaning of the word fear." He stood now, pacing back and forth in front of her. "I never needed anyone before. I hurt you and I know I have no right to ask you to stay. But I'm asking." He went to her, cupping her face in his hands. "I need you." He leaned his forehead against hers. "I love you, Laura. Please stay with me."
Tears flooded her eyes as she looked at him. "You don't have to ask because I had no plans on going anywhere. How could I? I fell in love with you the first time you kissed me and there was no turning back." She smiled.
He kissed her then. He wanted it to be gentle and loving but instead it was hungry and desperate as he pulled her closer. She melted against him pouring everything she had into that kiss and taking everything he gave.
He picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bed, placing her in the middle and they lying down beside her. He traced her face with his fingers. "I haven't been with anyone in a while." He whispered running his finger over her lips.
"I'm nervous too, but I know this is right." She smiled, knowing what he was thinking. "Make love to me, Michael."
He kissed her again, this time soft and lingering, letting his tongue tease and taste hers. As the kiss intensified, so did their need for each other. Soon, their naked bodies entwined as they continued to tease, taste and touch until their desire could no longer be denied.
Mike covered her body with his, entering her slowly. She moaned, arching against him, her fingers rubbing his back and pulling him closer. Sensations running through her body that she had never experienced before. She could feel his love for her in every touch, every look and every kiss.
His whispered her name over and over again, his face buried in her hair. He drove them both higher and higher and when her body melted under his, he poured himself into her. Surrendered himself only to her.

The tears started before she had even realized. He cupped her cheek, his thumb stroking her cheek. "Darlin', what's wrong? Did I hurt her?" His voice shook.
"Oh, no, Michael." She leaned into his hand.
"Then why are you crying?"
"Because I love you. No one has ever made me feel the way you do." She kissed him so softly.
"I want you to know something." He looked at her deeply. "You made me believe again; in myself, in my feelings and in love. There are no words to tell you how much you mean to me. Saying I love you doesn't seem to cover it."
"You don't have to say anything except that." She smiled through her tears. "Say it one more time."
"I love you, Laura."
