His Redemption

by Nikki Chase-Coakley

  Tony ran his hands up and down her arms in a soothing motion. As he looked down at her she’d never felt so vulnerable in her life. “It’s alright Baby. Just relax. We’ll take things one step at a time.”

  “But what if I-?” He silenced her with a quick kiss.

  “I’m not going to be disappointed or compare you to anyone else. You are the only woman I want. I thought I’d made that fact clear already. No matter what happens I can pretty much guarantee I’ll be satisfied. I’ve wanted you for so long I doubt it would take much to send me over the edge. The way you came in my arms the other night made me so crazy I nearly lost it just touching you. So you are not going to worry about that. Do you understand me?”

  She nodded and he rewarded her with a kiss to her nose then held her hand as he led the way upstairs to his bedroom. The master suite had once been Tony’s parents’ room. He told her how he’d taken it over on the same day he saw his parents off to their retirement home in Florida. His parent’s old furniture was moved to the guest room and was replaced by a king sized bed with a massive padded headboard upholstered in dark brown leather. Sarah tried hard not to think about how intimidating it looked just then and instead focused on the tan carpet beneath her feet. It was thick and soft and when Sarah stepped inside he invited her to take her shoes off and make herself comfortable like she'd done countless times before. The time they'd spent in this room in this bed just holding each other at night had been time well spent because although, she was still nervous she did as he suggested without hesitation.

  Silently she watched at Tony clicked on the small bedside lamp and turned the dial on the clock radio until he found a station that played soft jazz. After turning off the overhead light he kicked off his own shoes and joined Sarah. When he took her in his arms she trembled slightly but she returned his kiss with equal passion. He pressed her down on the pillows and took his time feasting on her lips. His mouth slanted over hers again and again as his hands pushed through her silky soft hair and she felt her nerves begin to dissipate a bit. When he turned his head to press his lips to her throat her pulse leapt and she tunneled her hands in his hair as she let her head fall back allowing him deeper access. His tongue swirled over the tender skin and he nipped her gently. Tony growled in her ear causing her to shiver at the erotic sound. His body he moved over her teasing and inciting her desire. No man had ever made her feel this way and it was making her crazy. Her skin felt hot and her clothes suddenly felt like they were in the way but she wasn’t feeling bold enough to do anything about it.

  Tony soon shifted to straddle her legs. With infinite care he gently tugged her t-shirt over her head. Sarah eagerly helped him by lifting her arms. He watched her face but she wasn’t sure what it was he was seeing. Was it fear, lust desire?

  “Are you sure?” He asked and she knew exactly what it was he was asking. His willingness to make sure she was comfortable with everything they were doing touched her heart and made it easy to respond.

  “I want this. I want you.”

  As if satisfied that he had given her a final opportunity to back out Tony reached behind him to pull his own shirt over his head and dropped it to the floor. Sarah reached up for him and pulled him down to kiss. He slid his hands one under her head and the other behind her back he cradled her close allowing their bodies to move against each other as he stroked her with his hardness. Sarah moaned and ran her hands up and down the smooth tan skin of Tony’s back. He felt hard and warm and she could hardly believe she was here with him, that they were making love. She trailed her fingers over the taught muscles of his back and sides and then over the rippled muscles of his abs. It felt incredible.

  “I love touching you.” She confessed shyly.

  He chuckled. “You feel pretty good yourself.”

  “Are you ever going to tell me about the tattoos?” She asked as she lightly traced the lines on his slave band.

  “There’s nothing to tell really. I got the one on my arm as a show of rebellion years ago before I joined the marines when I thought I was a real bad ass and the other one I got when I got out of the movie business. I wanted to cleanse myself of that life and even though I’m not the most religious man in the world, I wanted a reminder of the promise I made to God, that if He kept me safe from my stupidity I would do my best to stay away from that craziness.”

  “They suite you.”

  “I’m glad you think so.”

  He nuzzled her jaw no longer interested in talking. His hands glided over the soft mounds of her breasts and down the flat plain of her tummy. It tickled and she couldn’t hold in the giggle when he bent to press kisses over the sensitive flesh. His tongue laved her bellybutton making her squirm while his hands tugged at the zipper on her jeans. She tensed a little when Tony’s big hand pushed beneath the denim to stroke the silky fabric of her panties. He lifted his head to watch her as he tugged the fabric down her curvy hips and slim legs then tossed them to the floor. When he was finished he moved to lay beside her his head resting on a hand while he explored her with the other. Sarah’s eyes never left his the whole time he stroked her body. The expression on his face spoke of tenderness, caring and maybe even a little wonder. It was everything she was feeling and marveled at the fact that she was letting him touch her like this. Her curvy body fit against his like they were made for each other and touching him seemed to make her fear fade away. Sarah boldly reached for the button on his jeans and popped it open the same way he’d done to her. The zipper was half way down before the realization of what she was doing struck. Her hand stilled and she glanced up at him to see his reaction.

  “Don’t stop Baby. I want you to feel comfortable doing whatever you want with me. I promise I’ll love it no matter what you do.”

  She finished tugging down the zipper and ran a fingertip over the impressive bulge jutting out of his open fly. When she tried to pull away he covered her hand with one of his. She waited hoping he would give her some kind of some reassurance. He didn’t disappoint. “Don’t stop Baby. I want you to touch me.”

  She bit her lip anxiously. “I don’t know how. Show me what to do.”

  He moved both his hands to his jeans. In one swift motion he stripped his pants and underwear off and tossed them away. Sarah made no attempt to hide her curiosity about the part of him he had just exposed. She had never seen a naked man up close before and was fascinated. His member stood straight at attention looking long and thick and she worried briefly how in the world that would ever fit inside of her. The skin that his briefs usually covered was a couple of shades lighter than the rest of his body accept for his cock. The tip was nearly purple with a drop of pre-cum oozing from it. Before she took the time to consider what she was about to do, Sarah bent to kiss the member flicking her tongue over the flesh to lap up the drop. Tony rolled his head back onto the pillows and let out a guttural groan.

  Sarah lifted her head in concern. “Are you alright?”

  Tony grinned. “That wasn’t a sound of pain, beautiful. It just felt so damned good. I thought you were new at this."

  She giggled and relaxed just a bit more. Maybe she wouldn’t completely suck at this after all. “I’m glad. I want to learn how to please you.”

  He tugged her to his side and kissed her softly. “Baby, if I’m alive and you’re close by you’ll please me.”

  Tony took over again. Cupping her face he kissed her deeply and thoroughly. When he spoke his voice was gravely with his need. "Roll over, Sarah. I want to see the rest of you."

  “I don’t know how I feel about you seeing my bare butt.” She admitted nervously doing as he asked. "That's not my best side."

  “Not true. I love everything about your body and in case you haven't noticed yet, I'm a huge ass man?”

  She glared at him over her shoulder. "You could have phrased that a little better."

  It took him a minute to understand what she meant and when he did he chuckled. Bending to place a kiss on each cheek he encouraged her to roll ba
ck over.

  He made quick work of her bra and panties. Then letting his big warm hands glide down her back and over the soft globes of her bottom he squeezed gently testing them the same way he explored her breasts. Sarah nearly jumped off the bed when she felt his warm breath a heartbeat before his lips caressed her between her thighs. He gently nipped and licked her making her squirm. When he insinuated a hand between her thighs to cup her core she tensed. His touch was feather light, not the least bit demanding or threatening but the heat of it burned right through her and made her swell in some very tender places, places that had never been explored by another man. She found herself parting for him urging Tony to investigate further. She'd always thought he was a smart man and she had never admired him more than when he took her subtle cue. With gentle hands he parted her further spreading her knees wide before moving to take up that space. Sarah was unable to see what he was doing and wasn't sure what she should be expecting but the moment his fingers parted her and she felt the slick wetness of his tongue on her she was lost. Burying her face in the pillow she moaned softly muffling her sounds of pleasure as he tasted and teased her making her pant and writhe beneath him. Just when she thought she couldn't take any more Tony backed away and eased her onto her knees before him. Deft fingers stroked her slick nub while he parted her further and slid a finger inside her entrance. Sarah's hands gripped the pillow hard and she pressed her face even further into it. The feeling was so exquisite she didn't want it to ever end. She grew increasingly wetter with his attention all the while something inside coiled tighter, like a spring ready to release. She moved against his probing finger trying to get him to move deeper to fill her completely but he continued to deny her. Finally she turned her head to glare at him.

  Kissing her left cheek he chuckled softly. "Don't worry Baby. I know what you want. I just wanted to make sure you were ready for me."

  "Does that mean that it's time?"

  "Uh huh, roll back over. I want to look into your beautiful eyes when I make love to you."

  She did, feeling more eager than she ever thought possible. When Tony moved over her she didn't even have to think about parting her legs to allow him entrance. He lowered his head to hers. Their tongues swirled and mated wildly. Their teeth clashed in their effort to get even closer. He lightly pinched her nipples making her gasp with the sting until he soothed them with a soft swipe of his tongue. As wonderful as all this was Sarah couldn’t fight the restless feeling. Her body wanted him to be inside her. She ached for his invasion and the urge was growing stronger.

  "Please Tony." She whimpered. "Make me yours."

  The desire she saw blazing in his eyes sent a shiver of anticipation in her tummy. Without another word he leaned over and retrieved a condom from a box on the nightstand. In a brief moment he had opened the protection and rolled it down his impressive length. She watched him and waited. She thought she knew what to expect next and tried her best not to look apprehensive. Out of the corner of her eye she noted the slightly raised scar on his left side a few inches above his hip. She'd made a mental note to further explore that scar but for now, she just wanted to know what it was like to make love with this man.

  Tony moved over her once more. As he found her lips his member discovered her sex. It pushed between the juncture of her thighs but didn't penetrate. He moved his hips while he'd kissed her. The stiff shaft rasped against her tender insides making her sigh with pleasure. After dueling with her tongue he lifted his head to stare down at her. One arm curved up over her head while the other pinned her hips in place. She stopped moving understanding that this was it. This was the moment that she had been anticipating all her life. Opening her legs wider she felt him hard against her entrance rubbing and sliding against her. When he finally found her opening she sucked in a gasp as he pushed inside. In one long thrust he breached her innocence. She sucked in a wild breath and tears spiked her lashes. Shock at the intrusion made her breathless and unable to move or breathe for a moment.

  Tony kissed her tears away softly reassuring her. "I’m sorry Baby. That's never going to happen again I promise. For the rest of the night there will be nothing but pleasure."

  "D-do you think we c-could get back to the pleasure part again- p-please?" She stammered.

  He kissed her then, effectively distracting her. He began to move in short pulsing thrusts that made her even wetter and allowed her a chance to adjust to his invasion. When he felt her muscles relax a bit he lengthened his strokes allowing her to feel every inch of him. Within minutes she had picked up his rhythm, lifting her hips to meet his thrusts.

  "That's it Baby." He groaned. "Move with me."

  The pace quickened along with the intensity and soon they were both glistening with sweat as they reached for their climax. Tony surprised Sarah when he stopped to draw her legs over his shoulders. She cried out as he began pumping into her delving deeper teasing nerve endings she never knew existed. She stared up into his dark eyes as he moved, occasionally looking down to watch the way he filled her over and over again. She could feel herself swelling with each sensual glide of his body into hers. The pleasure was indescribable. And when he moved his hand to stroke her bud with his thumb she gave a startled cry and bucked violently beneath him. If Tony hadn't been holding on to her so tightly she might have thrown him off in her excitement.

  Sarah lay stunned as her convulsions slowly ebbed to slight tremors. Tony lowered her legs from his shoulders and kissed her softly. "Are you alright?"

  She smiled up at him loving his concern. "I'm great."

  "Good, because I'm not finished yet."

  Before she could ask what he what meant by that he rolled her over and positioned her so she knelt before him. Tony wrapped an arm around her waist and she felt his lips on her shoulder just before he covered her with his own massive body. Sarah's eyes nearly rolled up in her head when he slid back inside her. Pleasure rippled up and down her spine and made her toes curl as he pushed into her harder and deeper. Caged beneath him, her hands gripped the rumpled sheets and she rocked back with his every forward thrust. Tony’s grunts of pleasure added another dimension to her own enjoyment and she wanted to hear him come apart calling her name like she'd read about in so many stories. However, just as soon as she got into the rhythm of things, his hips slowed their forward motion and she lifted her head to investigate. In answer he held on and rolled her again, this time to lie on to her side. He spooned her pressing his still engorged cock against her bottom. She pushed back unsure of what he was trying to do. It became clear a moment later when he lifted her leg and entered her yet again. Moaning, she tilted her head back to receive his kiss as he pumped into her. Never breaking eye contact, he reached between her legs to stroke her making her want to let go all over again. The intense expression in his eyes made her heart threaten to crack open releasing all the emotions she was feeling for this man that was so thoroughly making love to her. She whimpered.

  "Tony"

  "Come with me, Sarah." He demanded, his voice sounding gruff and raw.

  His mouth captured hers in a rough kiss as he gripped her leg and pounded into her relentlessly. Sarah bucked against him knowing she was about to go over the edge yet again. Her screams were muffled by Tony's lips but he tore his mouth away a moment later to growl out her name as he ground into her one final time, his face pressed tightly to her shoulder.

  Tony cradled her close as he drifted back to Earth. Sarah turned in his arms to nuzzle him back. As she settled against him she knew with absolute certainty that there would never be another man like this for her. Despite her worries and concerns he’d managed to worm his way into her heart and she doubted she would ever be the same. With a soft tender smile Sarah reached up to stroke the stubble on his face and softly kissed his chin. "I love you."

  Tony reared back startling her. "What did you say?"

  Her smile wobbled just a bit and she wondered if she might have made a huge mistake in telling him. "I-I said, I love you Tony."<
br />
  Lowering his head he kissed her passionately. Sliding his fingers through the tangle of her glossy hair he let his tongue mate with hers over and over again before finally drawing back to stare deep into her eyes. "I love you too but I'd like to think you already knew that."

  Hot tears pricked her eyes. "I'd hoped it was true. I'm glad to know I wasn't wrong this time."

  He cupped her face. “Never doubt how I feel about you Sarah. You mean the world to me. Every time I'm with you I find a new reason to love you.”

  "I won't now that I know the truth."

  He kissed her nose. Then, as if a tremendous weight had been lifted from her shoulders, Sarah closed her eyes and settled against him throwing her arm across his chest. Soon Tony could hear the soft sounds of her breathing as she drifted off to sleep. Tears of gratitude and wonder stung his own eyes and he lifted his head grateful for the semi darkness and her unconscious state so Sarah wouldn’t see them and think he was weak. Tony was left to lie awake staring up at the ceiling and contemplate this new discovery. Sarah Fournier loved him and by some miracle she’d actually admitted it freely without any prompting or teasing on his part. She'd freely given herself to him not just her body but her heart and in return she'd released him in some unexpected, elemental way. So, why did he get the feeling there was something still not quite settled between the two of them? As he carefully eased out of bed and crept into the bathroom to dispose of the condom and wash up, he wanted to believe everything would be alright now but he couldn't shake the sense of foreboding that seemed to cast a pall over the most important night of his life, so far. Sighing he dismissed the thought as simple paranoia. So many things in his past had gone horribly wrong he refused to let this go the same way. After padding back in to the bedroom he gently cleaned Sarah with the damp cloth he'd brought then, clicking off the light eased back into bed. He brushed a final kiss across Sarah's brow then closed his eyes. He wouldn't borrow trouble. Instead of looking for problems where there weren’t any, he was going to enjoy being with the woman he loved.
