After the whirlwind two day birthday celebration, topped off with dinner and a nightcap and a late evening stroll at the Eiffel Tower, JC had slept better than he had in weeks, knowing he had accomplished his great goal. When the next morning rolled around, he lay awake in bed, watching her sleep. She was snuggled up to him as he always expected and she was making soft sighs and whispering his name. It made him grin to know that his woman was thinking of him even in her sleep. He stroked her hair until she had woken up and they had smiled at each other sleepily for ten minutes.

Sam let out a soft giggle. "Dream you was almost as good as real you. Wasn't ready to let him go yet." She stifled a yawn.

He laughed all cute at her. "Oh yeah? What was dream JC doing that would compare to real JC?" He leaned down to kiss her cheek. 

Sam blushed, a light shade of flushed pink. "Promise not to judge my dreams?"

"Of course I'm not going to judge your dreams baby." He smiled and sat up a little bit to stretch, and to allow himself to look down at her. He dragged his fingers along her curves. 

She sighed softly and smiled, burying her head into the pillow for a moment as he sat up before she looked at him. It made her smile again when his fingers traced along her curves over the blush pink silk. "You had me floating on the clouds. You wouldn't touch me until you placed kisses all over me... everywhere. And it was just pure trust and love." Her blushing intensified. 

He shifted his body, grabbing her knee to pull himself up over her, between her legs. "I would never... think that... look at me baby."

She looked up at him, letting her hand go up to his face where it rested softly. 

He took her hand from his face and locked his fingers with hers and then kissed her hand and smiled. "What if I want to kiss you all over right now?"

She laughed softly with a cute smile, all in her feelings. "Baby are you competing with dream JC?"

He made a face. "Competing? No. I was just going to...." He made a soft noise. "Never mind, it was probably dumb. Want breakfast?"

She was ready to sigh but she stopped herself. When she looked up at him, he looked defeated and she knew him well. "I'm okay for right now sweetheart." She leaned up and kissed his cheek before she rolled out from under him to go use the bathroom, needing a moment to herself. After she was done, she splashed some water on her face, taking a moment to wash it. She brushed her teeth and pulled her hair into a loose braid.

JC mumbled into the pillow. "Fuck." He stood up and walked to the windows to open all the curtains to let the sun in, even opening the French doors so the tower was in view.

She came out of the bathroom to see him with his arm against the window and it made her smile, she walked over to him and slid her arms around him from the back, resting her lips against his shoulder blade where she kissed softly. 

He let out the softest sigh and his whole body relaxed against her. When he spoke, his voice was soft, "Sweetheart..."

"Mmm, yes Josh?" She smiled against his skin, holding him right there in her arms this time, taking his body back into hers, even rocking him a bit.

He couldn't help but smile. He took a moment to let her hold him before he backed up slightly and turned around in her arms. He made sure to put them back around him because he loved it when she had her arms around him. He was towering over her, looking down into her eyes. "I'm apologizing..."

Her eyes couldn't help but sparkle when she looked up at him, she could get lost in those eyes. "I'm telling you that you don't need to. You didn't do anything wrong." She hugged him, letting him be enveloped in her arms. 

He sighed and snuggled all up into her arms, putting his face into her neck before wrapping his strong arms around her for a light squeeze. "Oh, I love you Samantha."

She kissed his temple and rocked with him a little bit. "I love you too Josh. And I'm also apologizing. If I teased you about what you said, that wasn't my intention. I was only being playful with you."

He made a trail of kisses against her neck to her lips and he nodded. "I know that... I promise I know that." He laughed softly. "I think I'm just a grumpy old man in the morning today. But I'm not really grumpy... erm, I need to shut up."

She laughed softly, "So you're just an old man?" She looked up at him with a little bit of mischief in her eyes. "I think you might just be hangry, Gramps. So why don't we eat breakfast in bed and then I can get my fiancé back." She giggled, "Then he can do whatever he wants with me." She smiled. "We don't have to leave this room at all."

He got the biggest grin on his face. "I would love that for us today, LOVE IT. And," he growled playfully as he lifted her up in his arms into a tight hug. "I'm gonna let you order for us. Anything and everything, I'm going to make us the coffee though."

"Got it honey," she giggled, leaning down to place a soft kiss on his lips when he set her down again. 

"Oh and put some clothes on, cause they're gonna be here within 30 minutes of you ordering too and I don't play that," he tapped her ass on his way to the kitchen. 

An hour later, after enjoying breakfast and looking through photos from the two days before on their cameras in bed, JC was looking down at her with a soft smile, playing loosely with the hair on her braid. Sam was smiling as she looked up at him. "Do you want to take my hair out of the braid baby?"

He closed his eyes and smiled a bit before humming, he shook his head no. "I like the braid. I want to keep it for right now. If I happen to pull it out later, then fine, but it stays. Mmhmm."

She smiled. "As you wish, Josh," her thumbs traced down along his arms, feeling the dips and swells of the muscles. She was still leaning his body. Their sexual chemistry was always so fire that she didn't always have the chance to just really love and admire him, though she knew she had gotten to know his body better than any other lover she had. 

He looked down at her hands making their way against his skin and it made him smile. "What're you doing?" He was curious as to her answer. 

"Mmm. Loving on my fiancé. Committing the feel of your body to my memory. For those times when we have to be apart." Her thumbs switched to all her fingers. She felt along his triceps now, then down along his forearms, and stopped when they moved over his wrists and hands where she took both of his hands in hers and linked their fingers.

He couldn't help but grin. "Do I get to return the favor of burning your body into my memory? Even though I'm sure it's already there..." He squeezed their hands together with a smile.

"Of course sweetheart," she gave their hands a squeeze too, "You know, I absolutely love the fact that you have two freckles just above your hip. Just before the muscles make their V. They're just right there. I don't know why I find it so unbelievably sexy..." She leaned in to smile on his lips before she kissed a few times. 

He just smiled through the kiss and nodded with a low hum. He pulled her a little more on top of him so he could wrap his arms around her loosely while his lips danced against hers. "Been there all of my life," he mumbled. 

"I plan on loving on them for the rest of your life too," she smiled on his lips while she adjusted her body to lay on top of him. Her legs went over his to straddle him and she let herself get comfortable, laying against him. "Among other things I plan on loving on."

He grinned a little hard and let his hands slide down the curves of her body, resting against the back of her thighs just under her ass. He let his fingertips graze her skin back and forth right there, even a bit over the cheeks. "You got other things you want to love on?"

She laughed softly at how coy his little grin was. "You... you've got a lot of things I want to love on. I love those arms of yours. Your fucking SHOULDERS. When you have your back to me in the shower, I love to watch them. Those two little dimples on your back before your ass. Also adorable, by the way... and don't think I don't watch you tighten up your ass for me when you think I'm watching." She giggled, "I also love your neck and your jaw. And the way you never fail to shiver when my lips hit certain spots along the way."

"Mmm. I won't deny any of that," he leaned up on his elbows looking up at her, "Shall I start with how you sway your hips extra hard when I'm walking behind you, especially if you're in a dress and we're out in public? That's not an accident. Or like, when you cross your legs just right when you're sitting next to me so I'll want to slide my hand down into those thighs," He smirked, "I love every single moment you flirt with me like that."

"Also guilty," she giggled softly, "I love flirting with you that way because I love that you always react. Knowing I do it for you is empowering. Just like you love to tighten up those arms for me when you lay flat with your hands behind your head, or they flex just enough when you wrap them around me. That'll always do it for me sweetheart. You honestly were everything that I ever wanted in a man, whether I realized it or not. I was never really into super athletic guys growing up."

His hands gripped onto the underside of her ass and he licked his lips just enough. "Do you know that I was never, ever into curvy women until you? And now all the super skinny girls just don't do it for me anymore. I LOVE YOUR BODY... like fucking. Love. it. You're my woman and I just want to... ugh. The way your body reacts to me."

She smirked and it led to a soft giggle. "Joey tried so hard to get me to hate you in the first few weeks. So so hard. Told me what your type was and all. I told him that I gave no fucks." Her lips fell against his jaw where she kissed a few times. "Changing your mind wasn't difficult."

"Joey can go fuck himself, mmm." He tilted his head to give way to her lips, his fingers slid up to her little shorts and inside them, feeling the softness of her panties. "It didn't take longer than like... a day."

"I was never interested in him, just so you know. Something about you drew me in, I just wanted to get to know you. Be with you." She smiled on his skin. She let her lips move just slightly while his hands were roaming.

His eyes closed and he couldn't help but get a good grab of booty when her hips moved the way they did. "I was drawn to you the moment I saw you. I just didn't know how, why, what, where, or what my damn name was."

She laughed softly and let her head dip down into the crook of his neck, where she breathed gently. Her eyes closed and she took in the moment. She was feeling in tune with his hands feeling on her body. 

JC let out a soft moan when her body moved, his fingers gently playing at the fabric of her panties, just lining her panty line with his fingers, feeling on her softly. 

Her soft moan matched his perfectly as his fingers were moving along. Something about his soft, gentle touches that were even sexier to her than the frantic ones. Her soft moan was meant just for him to hear, right up against his ear, leading to a whisper of his name. Not full of need, just pure satisfaction. 

He couldn't help from being turned on and she could feel it. It wasn't an urgent or overly stimulated kind of turned on either. He whispered, "Baby..." He reached down and pulled her bottoms down. 

"Mmm," her head tilted a little bit to look at him, her lids heavy with satisfaction. "Mmm yes Josh?" She smiled softly, letting her hands trail down along his arms, giving them just a bit of love.

"Let me love on you... please?" His voice had a warmth and love to it she hadn't heard before when they were intimate.

She smiled when he asked the way he did, she nodded and leaned up to place a soft kiss on his lips. "Baby, I'm yours however you want me. Just say the word, or make the moves you want."

"Mmm, music to my ears." He got up and in a swift motion, he switched positions with her and had her down on the bed. He was pulling her bottoms off the rest of the way, admiring her.

She smiled, looking down at her body then up at him. The way he was admiring her, she could say so much but she didn't. She was in the moment, letting him have his too.

He used only his fingertips to pull her top off so she was completely naked. He wasn't saying a single word either, just looking at every single inch of her. You could see his eyes moving along every part of her. His lips parted to take a deep breath. 

Sam smiled softly, almost shyly but not at the same time. She tilted her head just the slightest bit as she watched him. She let her body just be natural, not sucking in. She was certainly thinner and more toned than when they first met, but she was a little softer than she was when he first came home from tour. Those curves were killer and her skin was just kissed with the sun against the cream colored sheets below her. 

"I just... wow." He got himself between her legs and leaned himself down to hover over her, but in a way so that he was still looking down into her eyes, which were full of love.

She smiled, knowing he wanted to just love on her, but she had such genuine love in her eyes for him that she took a moment to gently pull at his necklace to bring him down to her for a gentle kiss. "I love you."

His eyes closed and his lips enveloped hers in a good and straight up loving kiss. His hands cupped the side of her face and he didn't say anything back to her, letting his body do the talking along with his lips. She smiled against him, letting him take the lead while her lips gladly danced against his lips. It was pure trust and love right now as she let her body move just so with him. She wasn't moving with the intention of turning him on, just a natural flowing movement. Her hands trailed down to remove his briefs slowly, the last piece she needed to get off to be skin to skin. 

He let out a little moan but it was a soft one. When she got his briefs off he needed to be skin to skin with her, against her. His lips stopped in that moment because chills were sent down his spine when his body touched her like that for the first time in such a way that it hadn't before. 

She couldn't help but let out a soft whimper on his lips. He could feel a little quiver in her body when they made contact the way they did. He was turned on but it just felt different. The heat from their two bodies was electric but not sweaty or lusty. She took a moment to whisper his name. "Oh Josh..." Her sigh was satisfied and it escaped with the whisper moan of his name.

He moved his body just because he needed to. It was slow and to reposition himself because this was new to him and the way he was feeling was so different. He pulled his head back to look down at her after she said his name. "Forever, Samantha."

She nodded when he said that, her lips parted as she sucked in a light breath. Her body started to feel like it was being lifted up off the bed straight into the stars. She wasn't even quite sure what was happening because she had never felt that way either. She whispered, "Forever."

He leaned down and put his lips on her neck when she closed her eyes like that and he started to kiss so softly, his hands slid down the length of her arms and pulled them up over his head as he kissed his way across her thought to the other side of her neck with a soft hum. She let her body move as he was moving. She reached up to grab onto something above her head but for now it was just the pillow. She knew she'd reach for his hands at some point but right now, it was perfect. Her head tilted a little bit too as he kissed along her neck. The fact that he was taking his time and really truly loving on her for the first time was the sexiest thing ever to her.

He dragged his lips back and forth, breathing on her skin. He made his way down to the top of her chest and collarbone. He kissed along the crevice so slowly. "Oh, your skin," he whispered, as his fingers began to race where his lips would go next.

She sighed softly, this time more throaty. "Mmm Josh. Oh baby... those lips." She opened her eyes again to watch him kiss along her skin, and there was something about the love and determination in his eyes that made her smile.

He looked up at her and smiled again, sliding his tongue along his lips as a reply before putting his lips back down against her other collar bone. The way she sighed and moved her body let him moan out against her skin as he dragged his face down with scruff and all between her breasts. 

Her eyes fluttered closed again as she moaned out, still a soft one. She held onto the pillow above her while his lips and scruff made their way down. It tickled against her skin but at the same time, the sensation of his kisses was more pleasurable than ticklish.

Her reaction made him smile and he looked up to see her face as he placed his lips around his first intended target, just to brush his lips against it. Her second moan was a little louder, she definitely felt that wave straight down her core when his lips were on her in that way. He could feel it change with just his light brushing.

Her moan caused him to and he wanted to make a move on her so badly right now, off of that, but the restraint was real and he needed to pull his lips off her and take a breath. "God..."

Her eyes fluttered open because he stopped, but when she saw him having a moment that was so real, just like the one she was having, made her smile because the sensuality between the two of them was at its peak, unlike it had ever been.

Their eyes met and he nodded in a knowing way as he took another deep breath and kissed his way down to the other side. This time, his lips gave a light suck as he showed it a little more attention. His hands grabbed at her ribs under her breasts because he was hovering his lips against her, feeling it react against them. He was getting to know her body unlike ever before. 

She needed a moment to reach back up and grab a handful of the sheets. Her moan was shorter and a bit deeper because her man really knew how to use that mouth of his as a weapon.

Her moan was all he needed, his lips wrapped around the flesh and he gave it the lightest little pull with a hum and moan in one. He pressed his body against hers. She reacted immediately when he did that, his body pressed against hers and he could feel her twitch, the littlest shake and quiver kind. "Ohhh Josh, baby."

He came back up to her lips and took one of her hands, linking fingers with hers. "Baby, I just..." he took a moment to lean down and capture her lips with his in a good hard kiss, full of everything this time. Love, a little lust, and deep appreciation. 

"Mmm," she met his kiss, sucking in his lips softly before whispering, "You complete me Joshua Chasez." She let her lips push back up against his, their fingers linked above the heads and her body just melted into his underneath him.

He made a face because her melting into him that way made him push his hips against her, feeling both of their bodies craving each other. It was different than before, but it was still a want. A need, even. 

She squeezed their hands slightly and let her free hand come up and touch his face along his scruff. Their eyes met and she couldn't hold back the tiny smile that played at her lips. They were in tune with each other's bodies. She whispered, "Mmm. Make love to me Josh..."

He nodded ever so slightly with a whisper, "I need to make love to you." He used his hip to push her leg even more out of the way. He dipped down and pressed his hips down right up against her, feeling they were both more than ready.

"Mmm, oh Josh..." She let out a low little sigh, her body heightened for him, she was all tingles. She rose her hips ever so slightly to meet his before she gave their hands a light squeeze.

He leaned in and put his lips just above hers as he slowly started to rock his hips against hers ever so slow so she could feel him at her center. It made him suck in a harsh breath before he whispered, "I'm gonna take my time on you..."

She sucked in a breath when he did. She could feel a pulsating, but she wasn't sure which of them it was, but she knew both of their bodies were in want. She nodded, "Mmm," she whispered, "I'm all yours..."

He took a moment to really look down at her as he continued to rock his hips on her, watching her reaction. He gave a squeeze to one hand and used the other to let go and graze the skin down her side as he rolled his hips once more, making the initial push inside her ready body. He was still watching even though his eyes damn near fluttered and rolled back already. This feeling of vulnerability with a lover was new for him too, and it was fucking amazing. 

She let out the softest moan, her body was so ready for him that it was the most natural slip inside. She was doing her best to be mindful, in the moment, focusing on everything her body was feeling, all the sensations happening to her. "Mmmm," Her eyes looked up to meet his before they fluttered closed with satisfaction.

When his hand got to her hips, he lifted that side up just a bit so he could grab onto her with one hand for leverage so he didn't pull from her other hand. He sucked in a soft breath as he smoothly bucked his hips to make sure he was all the way in. His head dipped down. "You..." his voice trailed off. 

Her head tilted a bit to the side and she moaned, letting her hips go still with his. "Ohh, Josh you feel... yes..." her whisper was almost like a gentle hiss. 

"So good," his breathy whisper was all he could get out as he pulled his hips back and slowly worked again to make the smoothest entrance ever, his body rolled each time so he could pace what he was doing. He was paying close attention to how he was feeling, trying to gently love on her. His heart, his body, his everything was on ten at the moment. His face needed to fall against hers somewhere, because he was having such a moment, so much that his hand squeezing hers was causing their fingers to go a little white. 

Her lips were slightly sloppy between the breathy moans she was taking. "Ohhh baby." She pulled at their hands and whispered, "Baby your hand..." She flexed it a bit when he loosened his grip. The rest of her body was floating and flying-- it reacted to each gentle thrust of his, meeting his halfway but it was slow and trusting. She was feeling so connected to him.

JC's brows furrowed as he continued to buck his hips in a slow and gentle rhythm. He felt her hips rise with his and he hissed out her name in a soft moany breath. "Oh Samantha..."

She lifted her hips to his again slightly before leaning up to capture his lips in a slow kiss. The give and take was trusting, safe, deep. Closing her eyes, she knew that making love with this man was worth waiting for. 

What could have been twenty minutes passed before they both reached their satisfied peaks, a slow and tortuous release filled with deep and trusting pleasure, nothing like the frantic, passionate encounters that peppered the earliest parts of their relationship.

An hour had passed, and Sam was laying next to him as he rolled on his side next to her. Her head was on his chest and she was breathing softly, holding him. Every so often she reached up to touch along his chest or arm while he stroked her hair. They were in silence, taking in the other, a sexy and intimate afterglow.

JC let out a soft hum as he tangled his fingers in her hair. He had never been so content with anything, and that love making was something he had never experienced quite like that. Paris was already special for them, but now there was something even more special about it. 

She peeked up at him from his chest, the way his eyes were closed and his small smile made her heart even more full for her man. She sighed softly too, then placed a gentle kiss along his skin. She mumbled softly and thoughtfully, "That may be the first and only time I've ever made love. Like that." Her voice was just above a whisper, almost inaudible. 

He was silent for a few more moments,playing in her hair, then he too mumbled, "I've never made love like that before," he looked down at her, "Only to you now."

She smiled, sated. When their eyes met again, it gave her goosebumps all over again from head to toe. "That was well worth waiting for," she sighed. 

He leaned down, putting his lips to her forehead to kiss a few times softly, he whispered, "You were worth waiting for..."

She smiled, snuggling in a bit more. "You were worth waiting for, Josh. When I was 13 I remember being in my room writing in my diary about the man I wanted to marry," she grinned coyly, "You're probably way more than I gave myself credit for as a kid."

He smiled and rolled over onto his back, putting his arms behind his head for a thoughtful moment. "You're way more than I ever could have dreamed up." A thoughtful noise escaped his lips as he stared at the ceiling for a few long moments. His heart was feeling so many things, things he didn't even know were still alive inside of him before he met her. He knew of their insecurities and shortcomings, and knew more would be surfacing the more they let the other in, but in this moment, none of them mattered. All that mattered was making love to the woman he loved, in Paris.
