Twenty minutes later they shut the door of their hotel room quietly behind them. Barely managing to slide the bolt into place, they wrapped in each other's arms, kissing intently. Suddenly Howie broke away, gasping for breath.
"Cait, we should stop before this goes any further."
"Howie, it's okay. I don't want to stop. I... I want... to make love to you."
Howie tilted her chin up and looked deep into her eyes.
"Are you sure, Cait? We don't have to do this tonight."
"I'm sure." She whispered and softly kissed his lips, while unbuttoning his jacket.
"Cait." He groaned softly. He reached up and carefully began removing the bobby pins from her hair. When it was all free he ran his hands through the length of it, reveling in the softness. She slipped his jacket down his arms and tossed it onto the second bed. She started on the buttons of his shirt while he kissed her cheeks, her lips and down her throat, slipping the straps of her dress from her shoulders. Cait slipped her hands into his now open shirt, running her hands down his hard chest.
"Cait!"
She smiled at his sharp intake of breath, unbuckling his belt and casting it over next to his jacket. Cait carefully untucked his shirt, sliding her hands into the waist band of his pants, feeling his muscles tighten. He groaned, kissing her deeply, while sliding out of his shirt.
"Howie." She whispered against his lips as she felt him gently pull on the zipper of her dress.
He stopped and she looked into his deep brown eyes.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Cait?" He asked softly.
"Howie." She whispered, gently running her hand down his cheek. "I love you with all of my heart; I want to do this."
"I just want to make sure you're sure." He gently caressed her back. "I don't want you to ever regret this."
"I'll never regret anything with you." She reached up and brushed a curl out of his eyes.
"I love you, Cait." Howie whispered, kissing her softly.
"I love you." She slipped her arms around his neck, catching her fingers in his curls. He bent down and caught her lips in a deep, intense kiss.
His hands drifted from her waist and he took hold of the zipper of her dress. He gently pulled it down and the dress slipped down her body to reveal her black satin bra and panties. His eyes drifted over her.
"You're so beautiful." He breathed. "So beautiful."
She unbuttoned his pants and pulled down the zipper. They slid down his hips and he stepped out of them. His erection pressed hard against the fabric of his silk boxers. She glanced down, then looked away, her cheeks reddening.
Howie tipped her chin up to look in her eyes. "Are you nervous?"
"A little." She admitted. "But I trust you."
He leaned down, pressing his lips to hers gently, then moved to her cheeks and down her throat. He gathered her in his arms and carried her over to the bed, placing her gently on it. He knelt down on the bed and covered her body with his.
His hands caressed her exposed skin, his lips following in their wake. She arched towards him and he slipped his hands under her back, finding the clasp of her bra. He carefully unhooked it and added it to the pile of clothing on the floor. He gently caressed her breasts, placing kisses everywhere on her heated skin.
"Howie." She gasped, arching her body against his. "Howie." She began pressing soft kisses across his chest and down his hard stomach.
"Cait." He groaned, his eyes closed, his breathing hard.
She slid her hand into his boxers; he was hard and throbbing. She slipped his boxers down his hips as he gently slid her panties off, both articles joining the pile of clothes.
She felt him pressing against her thigh and felt his hand gently parting her legs. Slowly, carefully he slipped his finger inside her, caressing gently. She moaned softly and tilted her hips towards him. He slid his finger out of her gently and kissed her swollen lips. He reached into the night stand and took out a condom. Unwrapping it he slipped it on his erection and positioned himself between her legs. She stiffened, suddenly afraid.
"Cait, sweetie, it's okay." He murmured. "We'll go slow. Just relax."
He ran his hands down her body and kissed her tenderly, feeling her begin to relax. Slowly he slid the tip of his hardness into her waiting body. He let her adjust to the feeling of him inside her then slipped in a little further. With infinite care he slowly eased his length inside her. Once he was all the way in he stopped and kissed her, murmuring softly, feeling her warmth eveloping him. For long minutes they simply lay there, clasped in each other's arms.
Slowly Howie began to move inside her, taking her as gently as possible. She clung to him, her legs wrapped around his waist, holding him as close as possible.
"Howie." She gasped for breath as she felt the heat building in her abdomen. Suddenly the world exploded in a shower of sparks. She dug her nails into his back as her muscles began to contract around him. The feeling of her tightening around him was all it took to send Howie over the edge.
"Cait, oh god, Cait." His body stiffened as he came, holding on to her for dear life.
As they drifted back to earth he pulled the blanket over them and cradled her to his chest like a child.
"I love you, Cait." He whispered when he regained his breath.
"I love you, Howie." She murmured as her eyes drifted shut. He sighed contentedly as his eyes closed in sleep, his arms wrapped tightly around her sleeping form.
