From Forbidden Fruit to Love Renewed Chapter 17

"Honey, um...how long are you going to keep me down here? I'm not as young as I used to be."

She reaches down and pulls him up off the floor; wrapping her arms around his neck, kissing him passionately before stepping out of his embrace, "Yes, I'll marry you, Bo Buchanan, and this time it'll be forever."

He takes her hand and removes her old wedding band; replacing it with the ring he had had designed just for her. She looks down at the ring on her finger and her breath catches in her throat, "My God, Bo it's...it's beautiful, but it wasn't necessary.”

“Yes it was. I wanted you to have a constant reminder that we have found our way back to each other. Look at the ring and I’ll explain what I mean. The diamond in the middle represents our present and the love we found again, each diamond on the sides signifies our past and our future."

"I can't wait to start our future together, Bo, with our children, in our dream house."

He takes her face in his hands and wipes away a stray tear that had fallen on her cheek, "I can't either, we’ve wasted entirely too much time. And from now on there will be no more tears, okay?"

"So when do you want to do this?"

I was hoping you would be okay with this Saturday," hesitating, "I know it’s sudden, but I don't want to live another day without you as my wife."

"Saturday is perfect. I can't wait to be your wife. I would marry you tonight, if that's what you wanted"

"Ahh but you see I have other plans for us this evening."

He takes her hand and leads her to the middle of the room, "Dance with me."

I am home now, (home now)
I've been waiting for forever to find you, (to find you)
I'm not alone now, (alone now)
Cuz you've taken in my heart from the cold
All I know is every time I look into your eyes I’m home, I know

His hand rests at the small of her back, his touch against her skin causing her insides to melt. He was the only man who has ever had this kind of effect on her. One touch and she was lost...

You're where I belong
I belong with you
You're where I belong
And I know it's the truth

He held her body against his, so close they seemed as though they were one. She slowly ran her fingers through the hair at the base of his neck; her touch setting his skin on fire. It only takes one touch from her to make him feel like he could lose control.

You're part of my heart
There's nothing I can do
Oh you're the one who keeps me warm
My baby you're where I belong

He stepped out of their embrace; their eyes locking as he took her hand and led her to the bottom of the stairs. He paused at the bottom of the staircase and looked at her; his eyes asking the question; no words were necessary. She wrapped her arms around his neck; her passionate kiss giving him his answer.

You're my first taste, (first taste)
Of the sweetest feeling I’ve ever known, (that I’ve known)
You're my safe place, (my safe place)
From a world that can be so cruel and cold
You're my harbor, you're my shelter, you're that welcome smile
That lets me know I’m home

He reaches down and picks her up; carrying her upstairs to their old bedroom; to their safe place; their harbor against the storms. He pushes the door open with his foot, the sight before her takes her breath away. The candles throughout the room cast a romantic glow across the room. He walks over towards the bed and sets her down. "A new bed?" she asks, her eyes sparkling with desire.

"A new bed, for our new beginning” ,pulling her into a passionate kiss.

You're where I belong
I belong with you
You're where I belong
And I know it's the truth

As their tongues continue their passionate dance he reaches around and slowly unzips her dress; running his fingertips up and down her back. He places his fingers under each strap; slowly lowering them down her arms; until the dress lies at her feet. She stood before him; in nothing but her black silk panties. Her earlier fears were forgotten as she looked into his eyes; eyes that burned with desire; desire for her and her alone. His lips made their way to just below her ear; to the place that only he knew about; the place where just one brush of his lips made her go weak in the knees.

You're part of my heart
There's nothing I can do
Oh you're the one who keeps me warm
My baby you're where I belong

She ran her hands slowly up his chest; stopping at the top button. She began to unbutton his shirt until it lay on the floor at their feet. She ran her hands back up his stomach, to his chest, snaking her arms around his neck. The feel of her hands against his skin set his insides on fire.

He began to trail kisses across her neck and down between the valley of her breasts; his fingers brushing across her nipples; instantly responding to his touch. His mouth replaced his fingers as he took her breast in his mouth.

Nora’s breath caught in her throat at the feelings his mouth was giving her. She reached between them and took a hold of Bo’s belt; quickly undoing the buckle. Her finger made quick work of the button and zipper until his pants were lying in a pile at his feet. He quickly stepped out of them as they joined her dress on the floor.

You're the one I come too, yeah
To keep me from the cold

She could feel his desire for her as their bodies pressed against each other. She arched her head back; causing him to take more of her breast in his mouth. He continued to caress her breast with his mouth as he ran his hands down her stomach; stopping at the waist of her panties.

You're where I belong
I belong with you
You're where I belong
And I know it's the truth

A soft moan escaped from deep down inside of her as she felt his fingers run along the waistband of her panties. His fingers paused for a moment against her hips; setting her skin ablaze. She felt his fingers grip the sides of her panties and her breath caught in her throat as he slipped her panties down over her hips.

You're part of my heart
There's nothing I can do
Oh you're the one who keeps me warm
My baby you're where I belong

He picked her up and carried her over to the bed; gently lying her down. He positioned himself over her; taking her breasts in his mouth as his fingers trailed down her sides across her stomach until he reached his destination. He slowly pushed her legs apart; his finger slipping between her moist folds; sending a shudder throughout her body. He continued to pleasure her; bringing her to places only his touch has taken her before.

Every touch, every movement communicated their needs; their desire. Every sound told them faster or slower. He looked into her eyes and ran his hand along her cheek, before lowering his lips onto hers; his fingers still touching her in the most intimate way possible. He broke their kiss but never breaking contact with her skin as he ran his tongue down her neck, her chest, the valley between her breasts, across her stomach; until he reached his destination. His tongue finally replaced his fingers; causing a small moan to escape Nora’s lips; lifting her hips to give him more access to what he was seeking.

(You’re where I belong, you're my only home)
You're where I belong

He held her hips as she moved under him; his tongue continuing to pleasure her. Her grip on the headboard above her tightened as his tongue darted in and out of her; bringing her closer and closer to the edge. He reached up removing her hands from the headboard; intertwining his fingers with hers as he continued to caress her moist center with his tongue. She wanted this feeling to last for as long as possible, so before she reached her release she placed her hands on either side of his head; forcing him to break contact with her center. She brought his face up to hers; crashing her lips onto his. As their kiss continued she rolled him over onto his back; straddling over top of him.

(You’re where I belong)
(You’re where I belong, you're my only home)

Her breasts brushed against his chest as she trailed kisses down his neck across his chest until she reached his desire. She pleasured him like only she could; sending him to a place where only she has taken him. He reached out and took her breasts in his hand as she continued to pleasure him.

She was bringing him close to the edge; close to his release. He needed to be inside her; his desire to be one with her bringing him to the point of no return. He reaches out and places his hands on either side of her face; forcing her to break contact with his desire; rolling her over onto her back.

He reaches out and takes her hands in his once again; raising them above her head as he slowly enters her. A moan escapes from deep with in her; the feel of him inside her bringing her closer and closer to her release. Each movement of her hips matches his thrust for thrust; until they finally gave into their release.

He rolled onto his back; bringing her on top of him; their bodies still connected in their intimate lock. She laid her head against his chest; their hearts still racing from their lovemaking. They both knew it was only a matter of time before their dance of love would begin again...not ending until the morning light streaked across the room.

They finally fell asleep in each other’s arms; her back against his chest as his arms held her tight. The past that had come between them was gone. They were finally where they belonged...they were finally “home”…in every sense of the word.

You're where I belong
(You’re where I belong)
(You’re where I belong, you're my only home)
You're where I belong
I am home now, home now
