Part 3 (rated r)
In the middle of the night Vincent was awaken by soft kisses upon his face and a warmness surrounding his body. Opening his eyes he was shocked to find Catherine naked straddling his hips. Kissing and caressing him everywhere, "hi my love.” "I didn’t want to wake you, you looked so cute sleeping but I needed you.”
Although seeing her beautiful body he was burning with desire, Vincent knew they could not consummate their love. Not this way. "Catherine please stop.” "You need rest, struggling to control his desire.’’
”No my husband, I need your magnificent body surrounding me,” taking him gently inside her.
All fears and rational thoughts left Vincent the second he felt himself buried deep inside his Catherine for the very first time. After being joined with her a few minutes, his instincts took over. Matching her rythym thrust for thurst, he lost himself inside their lovemaking.
Passion spent, "Vincent what we just shared was so beautiful.” "It was what I needed.” Releasing him she laid on her side. Snuggling closer to him, "I love you” and she fell back to sleep.
Vincent could not sleep. His first time making love to Catherine was an experience he will cherish forever, but he felt ashamed. "How could I have let myself lose all control like that?” Their lovemaking had been so beautiful he began to cry.
Climbing out of bed, he grabbed his cloak and ran as far away from Catherine as he could. His weakness had shamed him.
At his apartment Joe went over the events of the night. "Who was the man that saved us?” "He said Catherine led him there.” "How?” And Catherine knew him but could not remember me.” "Our rescuer said someone would contact he about Catherine but who?” Too many questions left unanswered for Joe to be at ease. Then he heard a knock on his door.
"Who is it?”
"I have a message for you about Ms. Chandler.” "Sir do not open the door I will side it under.” As soon as the note was slipped under the door Joe heard receding footsteps, Opening it the hall was empty. Bending down he picked up the note.
Mr. Maxwell Catherine is safe. She is suffering from a memory loss but my father, who is a doctor, said she would make a full recovery. Do not worry I will protect her always. I love her. Vincent
Joe folded the note and it dawned on him, Vincent was the mystery man in Catherine’s life, her protector. But who is he?” "Why has she kept him a secret for three years?”
Vincent stopped running when he reached the falls. Slightly winded he rested against the cold stonewall and slid to the ground. "Oh Catherine forgive me for losing control.” "I took advantage of you.” "My animal lust got the better of me.”
"Vincent, Catherine’s soft voice called his name, are you all right?” "I woke up and you were gone.” "I took a guess that you might be here.”
Trying to compose himself, "yes Catherine I am all right.” "I just needed to be alone.”
"Was it something I did, lowering her head, was my lovemaking disappointing to you?”
"No Catherine it was not.’ "Making love to you was so beautiful you made me feel beautiful.
"Your are beautiful Vincent and I am more than happy to give you pleasure.” "Do you mind if I join you, taking a seat beside him. Taking his right hand with her left she said "oh no.”
Feeling her despair and sadness, "what is it Catherine?”
"I lost my wedding ring last night, looking at her ring finger. "Maybe in a few days I can go Above and look for it.’
"Catherine, holding her hand, you can get another ring.” "Please keep away from that place.”
"I will my love because you asked me too.”
"Good.” "Catherine you need rest and I want to see father. Let me walk you back to my, remembering her state my mind, our chamber.” "I will not be long but you do not have to wait up for me.”
Of course I’ll wait up for you, and she rubbed the front of his pants, I want you.”
Gasping he moved away from her. "Catherine not here someone could come here any minute.”
"Kissing his lips, you are right, someone could come.” "I’ll keep my hands to myself for now, giving him a seductive smile.
"Vincent used all his self control to keep from taking her right there.” "We had better go now Catherine it is getting late and he got up.
"Yes my love, let us go and he helped her up, "Vincent I see you need me too” looking at the front of his pants.
Blushing from embarrassment and shame, he took her hand and they left.
Dropping her off at their chamber, he lightly kissed her cheek. "I will be back soon and he left. Leaning against the tunnel wall Vincent took a couple of deep breaths, "that was too close.” "I almost gave into my desire once more. "I must see father and he started his journey.
In the meantime, Catherine busied herself tiding their chamber and getting the bed ready for tonight. Wanting to change into something special for her husband, she went to his closet and than his dresser drawers and notice none of her clothes were there. "Where are all my clothes”? "Maybe it was laundry day and I forgot. "Oh well it is too late to wash now anyway I’ll just borrow one of Vincent’s shirts. Putting it over her naked body, she climbed into bed and read waiting for her love to return.
"Father, and Vincent entered his chamber.
"What is it son you seem troubled?
"Father is happened.” "I lost my self control.” "Catherine is fine but, Catherine and I, stammering, father we made love last night.”
"No Vincent you didn’t!”
"Yes father we did.” "I will spare you the details but while I slept, well Catherine, she, she..”
"Vincent, she seduced you right? father slightly smiled.
"Right.” "Before I knew what was happening it was too late, slumping his shoulders, I could not resist her father.”
"Now son don’t punish yourself over this.” "You and Catherine made love it is natural for a husband and wife to do that.”
”Yes I know but we are not.” "Catherine also thinks she lost her wedding ring last night.” ”She felt terrible.’ "I felt terrible knowing she never had one ” "Do you think I could give her one just so she will not be so upset?” "She needs to heal father and maybe if she thinks she has her ring back it will be one less thing for her to worry about.”
"Son that decision is yours.” "Yes it will keep her from being upset.” "Follow your heart it will help you decide.” "Now my son, this old man needs his rest.” "I’ll see you in the morning. "Things will work out Vincent you’ll see.” "Goodnight son.”
Vincent took his time returning to his chamber. He decided to get her a ring tomorrow.
"There you are my love, going to him placing her arms around him. "I have missed you, kissing his chest.
Feeling the heat of her body through the shirt she wore and her closeness, he began to get aroused. "Catherine father said it is best for you if we wait a few days before we love again.” "You have been through a lot.” "You need time to heal.”
"No Vincent, rubbing against him, I need you.” Taking his hands underneath her shirt, she placed them on the heated core of her body. "See my love, I need you.”
Letting out a growl, he lifted her in his arms and carried her to his bed. His desire overcame his good sense and he made love to Catherine once more.”
