Sunny's Love

chapter Fourteen



Sunny woke up when Chase stopped for a coffee break. Looking around groggily, she asked, “Where are we?”

“Fort Lauderdale, we’ll be there soon, baby, but I needed a break.”

“Let me get awake and I’ll come inside with you.”

He waited patiently as she put herself together. Together, they strolled hand-in-hand, into a small café. After they’d ordered coffee he asked, “Well, Mrs. Dupont, tell me, how does it feel to be sitting in a café with your husband?”

“It feels pretty good,” she replied shyly.

“Not half as good as you’re going to be feeling later tonight,” he told her with a wink.

“Chase Dupont, have I created a monster by telling you I’m ready to be your wife in every sense of the word?” she whispered.

“Maybe…ah…here’s our coffee.”

He thanked the waitress and as he took a sip of the steaming liquid, he smiled across the table at her, “Have a nice nap?”

“Yes, I did, I guess I didn’t realize how tired I was. It was such a relief to have the wedding over with. I mean it was nice, but such a lot of work getting it all together so quickly.”

“No regrets?”

“No…do you have any regrets, Chase?”

“Not on your life. I couldn’t be happier.”

“Then I think we’re on the right track. Let’s finish our coffee and get to the hotel.”

He raised his eyebrows and teased, “Get to the hotel, you say? Did I by chance, just get married to a nymphomaniac?”

“Oh, you big tease…” Sunny giggled as she took a sip of coffee. A feeling of warmth spread over her body and she was sure it had nothing to do with the coffee.

Arriving shortly after dark, they checked in at the desk. Sunny looked around at the beautiful lobby. Chase had certainly chosen a nice place for their first night as a married couple. Chase carried their luggage to the room. Setting it down in the hallway, he inserted the card key and opened the door, surprising her by scooping her up in his arms and carrying her across the threshold. He set her down, picked up the luggage and kicked the door shut.

“What was that?”

“You wanted a traditional honeymoon, didn’t you?” He grinned seductively. “Welcome to the honeymoon suite.”

“Oh, Chase, who knew you were such a romantic?” She leaned up for a kiss, but he stopped her.

“First things first, oh wife of mine,” he told her as he opened the door, put the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on the doorknob then locked it.

“Now, come here, you.” He kissed her finally, a kiss that told her there was more to come. She allowed herself to become lost in it. It wasn’t hard to do…she was lost…lost to every sensation taking over her body at that moment.

“Sunny…”

“Chase, slow down. I want to freshen up after the car ride. Give me a few minutes, okay?”

“Whatever you want, baby. Tonight is your night.”

“Tonight is our night, Chase, yours and mine, the first night of the rest of our lives.” Grabbing her bag, she went into the bathroom, took a quick bath and put on the sheer black nightie she’d purchased for her wedding night. She’d bought it last week, hoping something might happen during the honeymoon. She was glad now she had the foresight to go ahead and buy it. She’d debated, finally talking herself into going ahead with the bold purchase.

When she walked back into the bedroom, Chase was sitting on the bed. He looked up. He was speechless for just a moment. When he found his voice, he said, “My God, Sunny…you are a vision.”

She walked to the bed and leaning over him, kissed him. He pulled her onto the bed and kissed her again, thoroughly. His hands began to caress her silky skin. She moaned as tingly sensations delighted her senses. He whispered in her ear, “Baby…I want you so much.”

He kissed her again, moving to her neck. Removing the nightie, he threw it on the floor. “It’s nice, baby, but it’s getting in my way.”

She giggled and began caressing his back, as he moved his lips to her breasts. “Sunny…I can’t believe I was willing to be married to you and go without…there’s no way. I see that now.”

“Chase…”

“Yes, baby?”

“Don’t stop…”

“I have no intention of stopping.”

Proving he meant exactly what he said, his lips trailed further and further down her body, leaving a trail of sweet kisses every place they touched. His lips scorched her skin, igniting a fire within. When he had kissed every inch of her body from her head to her toes, he began a trail back up until he reached her thigh. Pushing her legs apart, he found a new place to explore. She moaned as his lips touched her again, igniting a fresh fire that she had no control of…it scorched and burned until she thought she would explode.

“Chase…oh…”

“That’s it, baby….go with it….”

When he was sure he’d satisfied her, he moved back up to face her. Through desire-glazed green eyes, he looked at her and whispered, “I want you…Sunny?”

“Yes, Chase…oh…yes…I want you now.”

He positioned himself and entered her swiftly, taking her with him to lands unknown. They soared above the clouds together, entering the sea of desire, the waves crashing toward them…closer and closer…until they met in one final swoop. Wave after wave of sensation overtook Sunny as she cried out.

“Sunny…” he whispered softly as he met his own release. “Oh…Sunny.”

They lay quietly for several minutes. When they finally returned to reality, he kissed her and teased, “I told you you’d be feeling good tonight, didn’t I?”

“Yes, you did, but I had no idea it would be like that.”

“Sunny, you had a sexual relationship with Scott,” Chase reminded her. “You’re not new to this.”

“I did, but it was nothing like what we just did.”

“You’re going to be so good for my ego, baby.” He kissed her again before he asked if she wanted to order room service.

“Not particularly,” she replied. “But go ahead if you want something.”

He ordered champagne and sandwiches for the two of them. After he replaced the receiver on the cradle, he pulled her into his arms.

“You’d better get dressed. Room service doesn’t want a naked man answering the door,” she teased, as she ran her fingers through his thick, dark hair.

“You never know.” He laughed as he rolled out of bed and put his pants on. He threw his shirt on carelessly, not even bothering to button it.

“Chase, are you glad we decided to consummate the marriage?” she asked in a serious tone as she leaned up on one elbow.

“What kind of question is that?” he asked curiously.

“I just wondered. I can’t understand why we thought we should wait. It really makes no sense to me now.”

“All I can say is, even if we hadn’t had that little talk last night, it wouldn’t have taken long for me to decide I had to have you. I would have gone crazy knowing you were mine but not really.”

“I’ve wanted you from the start.”

“Really, you have? Oh, baby, it’s a good thing you didn’t tell me that before. I might not have been able to keep my hands off you. It’s been a struggle as it is.”

They were interrupted by a knock on the door. Chase signed for the food, handed the server a generous tip and carried the tray into the room. He handed her a roast beef sandwich then opened the champagne. He poured them each a glass and toasted her, “To my wife…a formidable partner…in every way.”

Sunny held her glass up and toasted him with the words, “To my husband…who has taken me on the adventure of a lifetime.”

“I could take that to mean several different things, Sunny.”

“Take it however you want to.”

He chuckled as he joined her on the bed with his sandwich.

After they’d eaten, they snuggled together on the bed and watched a movie, falling asleep in each other’s arms. Near dawn, she woke to find her new husband watching her.

“You okay?”

“I am now that you’re awake.” He kissed her and pulled her on top of him.

I’ve died and gone to heaven, was her last thought, before she began another adventure with the man she so desperately loved.
